Yuru Yuri
Time to take to my own hands.
Namori's Yuruyuri seinen yuri series is getting an anime TV adaptation. This is the FIRST title to ever get adapted from Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime S line so let's hope to GOD this paves through more titles getting adapted from that and Yuri Hime's line. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...edly-green-lit There are 2 volumes so far, and it's still ongoing: Here's the synopsis from ANN: Quote:

I'll be looking forward for this
I always expected that an anime adaptation of a seinen yuri manga from the male oriented Comic Yuri Hime S to come first than an anime adaptation of a manga from Comic Yuri Hime. Think about it, what do you think will get adapted first... a seinen yuri manga that contains moe elements from the male oriented Comic Yuri Hime S magazine, or a yuri manga with more "shoujo likeness" from Comic Yuri Hime magazine. well, of course seinen moe otaku aimed yuri manga will get adapted first...

I was expecting you to make this thread after seeing your name in ANN, darkchibi
Even if this isn't actual yuri, having an Ichijinsha's manga being adapted to anime is very good news. Will be watching this. |

Ichijinsha's webpage for the manga can be found here:
http://ichijinsha.co.jp/yurihime_s/s...r02/index.html So going from the character profiles, the blond girl's name is Kyoko Toshinou

From what I've read of the Manga so far, the yuri/shōjo-ai content is fairly understated; light content, really, from the "Yuri Himi/S" line. I'm hoping it goes well, partially because it's actually a nice series, and partially because I'd really like to see some other series from Yuri Himi animated (anything by Fujieda Miyabi, in fact).

Of course, the current Japanese anime fans are the moe otaku crowd, so it's quite understandable why they chose this series. It's all about the moe; the yuri doesn't really matter (not that it has any though).

The one thing I have not come across is the existence of yuri series that plays out like your shounen/seinen harem romance titles whether it has ecchi tropes or not. Like a yuri title starring a main female lead who becomes a beacon of infatuation by other girls consisting of your usual bishoujo archetypes (you can have your mystical magical girlfriend plot if you want). Throw in some ecchi comedy and then later some drama that lead to a definitive romance, and you got yourself a premise I seriously doubt the Japanese haven't used as much as before.

This is becoming ridiculously scarce in het harems, expecting it in a yuri harem is a little far fetched. Ambiguity is what sells, by leaving it open ended you keep everyone happy as they can imagine their favorite girl won.
Also, these shows tend to play romance as something secondary, leaving it as subtext for the most part. Pure and innocent girls with the sexual maturity of a 9 year old are preferred here. |

Shows sounds good enough to give a chance, so I look forward to it.

It's not yuri if there's no yuri in it. Weak Class-S subtext =/= yuri. Girls kissing/cuddling/having sex = yuri.

There is kissing, cuddling, girl-girl crushes (and no male characters). The only thing Yuru Yuri lacks are actual relationships with development or any serious scenes that last more than half a page, although one could of course argue that many other series touted as yuri lack the same thing. There's a lot of gleeful fodder for yuri fans, but the best part, and the true source of its popularity, is probably the self-referential comedy. Kyouko (the blonde girl) steals every scene she's in--she's a character much like Miu from Ichigo Marshmallow.
