If one of the central relationships is a girl who is clearly focused on another girl, whether she's got a male chasing her(Kannadzuki no Miko), or there's no appearance of true romance(MariMite), it's yuri. Minor suggestions meant to tease the crowd(like Nanoha) don't count, nor minor characters(like Shizuru of My-HiME). Friendship doesn't count either(I've seen a few things about Sakura and Ino...).
Personally, I think that to be called "yuri", it has to fulfill one of two requirements:
- One of the primary, central conflicts of the plot is centered on one major female character's romantic to semi-romantic interests in another major female.
- Much of the story is centered in an environment where girl-girl relationships are so prevalent that interest in a boy seems abnormal(That is, an environment like in OTOME, what Nao refers to as the "Garden of Virgins")
This is just my opinion. I say this show fits the bill. And so, in the words of Pellissier,
Wow! Let's Yuri!
