AnimeSuki Forum - View Single Post - A very specific sort of yuri anime (or manga).

Anyone mentioned Revolutionary Girl Utena? Its about a girl who wants to become a prince and save the rose bride.

That's my very first yuri series. Can't remember it they actually kissed or not (both in anime and manga) but there is little doubt on the yuri factor nor the seriousness of it. There is also a movie version that is more explicit. All three versions are different, with both manga and anime created at the same time for the project. The artistic sense, animation and music were all top notch back then even now the animation holds up pretty well. If you haven't seen it, check the OP on Youtube, it does a great job on showing what series is about and one of the best anime OP ever, IMO.

I'll also second Maria-sama ga Miteru. Granted most of it are in subtext only but there are elements that has legit yuri relationship and it really is just beautifully done one of the few anime that makes appreciates the beauty of yuri without lusting after them (Eroge) or make/having fun of it (aka, Yuruyuri, Maria Panic).
