Ironic, since she's the main character x)

Hiroi Sekai · 2011-09-29, 00:08

Ironic, I'd forgotten who she was. XD

Akito Kinomoto · 2011-09-29, 00:11

Who are you talking about again?

Bloss-Chan · 2011-09-29, 00:31

Yeah... wish they had gone full blown with that ship. Oh well. Such heavy implication is enough or even better I suppose.

risingstar3110 · 2011-10-01, 06:08

Btw, there's this doujin called Sakuhimanga about the tsunderes. Quite short, but they are kept in characterss...

Check it out if you like that pairing *coughDynastyScancough*

Hnnngh. Dat double tsundere...

amasposu · 2011-10-02, 15:52

I finally finished the series last week and this is easily my favorite anime of the season. Ayano is my favorite. She is so cute. 8D

Out of all the Yuru Yuri sub groups, I like Anime-DS the most.

LOL.see.. who's the real ship now??! LOL. Kyoko may flirt with other girls, but it's still yui that she goes to at the end of the day (wait, i think i already mentioned this before. LOL) but DAng, man! yui's just too cute! <<33

Bloss-Chan · 2011-10-04, 08:41

Im on the Ayano x Kyoko boat.

Though, Yui is the childhood friend.. so she has a little boost.

I'm currently on episode 4 and loving this light hearted series, but I didn't know the yuri was for reals!

Anyone enlighten me, if the manga/novel went further than what shown on the anime (actual couple)?

As far as i know, nothing is canon yet, but as you may guess, even at this rate they are still as gay (or as straight) as Fate and Nanoha...

And then the author of the manga also actively shipping for some of the pairings. So it's all possible

And then we have the sister series Yuriyuri with lots of one short of actual couples. the first showing what Yui and Kyouko probably will be like if they are separated from each other early and grew up with their childhood personality

The series does not have any "actual couples". It stays true to its title, so all the relationships are rather "loose" and I doubt that we'll get a canon couple. The only couple that has a chance to ever become official is SakurakoxHimawari (the rest is...stuck in love polygons which are the main source of comedy) - they get quite a lot of quality interactions in the manga. If you compare the anime to the manga then the anime even increased the yuri-level a bit because it added anime-original KyokoxAyano and KyokoxYui (but mostly KyokoxAyano) stuff.

Hiroi Sekai · 2011-10-05, 14:55

Just so everyone knows, the 2 new character albums (Ayano and Chitose) are available. Had a listen and somehow feel like the quality has somewhat degraded from the first half of the character album collection. There was one song that I potentially thought about keeping for my iTunes (Ayano's A-side), and the rest just didn't really appeal to me that much- they felt somewhat rushed to me.

Of course that's my own opinion, so give them a chance. I just feel as if these albums were nowhere near as strong as the Yui and Kyouko album days.

Not kidding about those two being highlights. I listened to Yui's first song a couple of weeks back. It's STILL stuck in my head.

Personally, I favour "Cool Number" over "Go Yuruyuri World" but they were both fantastic. See, a character album works when the songs match the character's personality. The problem occurs when they're made just to convenience the character and to throw in new voiced dialect. Voiced dialect in a song is nice when done right, but I think Chitose's songs are a good example here when it sort of feels awkward.

When you think of Chitose, what kind of descriptors pop up in your brain? It's probably ones that describe a girl who drifts off easily yet does really well when she needs to. "Oh wait Ms. Toyosaki, haven't you voiced a character like that before? That's right, Yui!" Without taking bias over liking Hirasawa Yui's character songs a lot more, I believe if Chitose's songs were more in that style rather than this odd mishmash of genres it would've worked a lot better. The ultimate problem with Chitose's album was: she talked TOO much. Might as well had a drama CD with some funky background music. Ayano's was better, but once again it didn't really fit her somewhat upbeat, yet tsundere ways. That's probably why I enjoyed Sakurako's album a lot; it played with both of her major traits and wasn't just made for the purpose of selling out the character.

Bleh, babble babble yet again. Music is subjective and I hope everyone else has a better time with these new albums than I did.

Cool Number is really awesome. I have some trouble actually imagining Yui singing it, but it's a catchy, well performed song. Kyouko's songs are both great, but I didn't much care for Chitose's or Akari's. They weren't horrible or anything, but I'm not eager to put them on my iPod. Haven't actually listened to Ayano's or Sakurako's yet, I should get to that.

Just found this really cute picture I thought I'd share for those who haven't seen it.

vansonbee · 2011-10-06, 19:32

Just finished the whole series and hoping for 2nd season soon.

Here a coupling chart that I found on MAL site.
