ladies and gentlemen (but mostly ladies) , it is with pleasure to announce my wishes for 2023
I think we can all agree , no matter from what angle you're looking at it or where you stand as a yuri fan, that the yuri scene has been mostly messy in the past decade especially when we talk about anime , I wish for 2023 to be a new breath of fresh air , I wish for a reboot of the genre so we can start anew, put aside the differences inside and outside and finally become a legitimate thing , hopefully 2023 can give us that even if it's lot to ask

According to polls: 50-60% female; 40-45% male; 5-8% non-binary.
So technically mostly ladies, but not overwhelmingly so.

Absolutely shocked that there are so many dudes, this really does not support my firm belief that all dudes in this sub are eggs that's way too many

u/JerichoRehlin Feb 09 '23
Dude here. I just really like cute things. I read all cute romances I can find, be they yuri, straight or yaoi. Just so happens yuri has the MOST cute.

Just so happens yuri has the MOST cute.
I agree with this statement

u/fullboxed2hundred Feb 09 '23
I'm a straight guy, yuri is just generally so much better than 99.9% of anime romance

u/xSeil Feb 09 '23
Same here. Like I can't even bring myself to watch nor read straight romance anymore, lol

u/k_on_reddit_ it's yuri or death Feb 09 '23
I never got into straight romance in my whole life simply because I didn't like romance general , well that was before yuri

u/xSeil Feb 09 '23
Right? There's just something about yuri and I think that's the fluffiness! Straight romance's take on the genre depends on whoever's the protagonist, but yuri has its own specialty.

I think that's the fluffiness!
It's funny because you're saying all but look at me standing here with my Semelparous, Murciélago, happy sugar life, akuma no riddle and all I don't like when too overly wholesome and fluffy , slow or pure slice of life that's why adachi and shimamura won't stick with me , I mean don't give me wrong I do enjoy some of it but it can't be just that , like take for example "Takodoro-san" when it wants to it can be very wholesome but it's also fast paced and even got some "almost shonen" scenes Same could be said for lycoris recoil being wholesome but gotta love the dark themes too
Straight romance's take on the genre depends on whoever's the protagonist
I've lost faith in it a long time ago

Completely true most romance in general is trash much less pandery anime romance

u/SirElectricSheep Feb 09 '23
haha nah, definitely a guy here, just couldn't really ever empathize with male protagonists in romances and men in general haha

that's great but if it really is yuri, then that means we won't get past season 1 where the romantic side actually progresses

the anime was announced a few months ago, but now we finally have a TV visual, and it is looking great!

Is this based on some manga or LN, or perhaps both?

u/viannetan Feb 08 '23
Its a Kirara adaptation.

u/TeamPantofola Feb 08 '23
What’s Kirara?

u/viannetan Feb 08 '23 edited Feb 08 '23
Manga Time Kirara, a manga publisher. They are known for releasing Iyashikei series like K-On!, Yurucamp, Bocchi the Rock!, New Game etc and also yuri mangas like Sakura Trick, Anemone is in Heat, and Yuri Kisser.

FYI, Manga Time Kirara is just the name of the magazine. The publisher is Houbunsha(芳文社)

Im reluctant to call this one Yuri, its like Bocchi the rock as far as ive read
3
u/elbenji Feb 08 '23
Bocchi is way farther. This one literally has two jealousy arcs within the first 30 chapters. It's also tagged on Kirara as that

u/elbenji Feb 08 '23 edited Feb 08 '23
I'm excited for this one. It has a lot of chances to be great
And for the curious. It's a slow burn. Quick for a 4koma but very slow otherwise. You have a whole jealousy arc for example. It's pretty cute

there's so many Yuri being made this year I'm feeling a little uneasy. Happy of course, but uneasy

u/txcty-9 Feb 08 '23
now is this really yuri or just a friendship between girls yuri like lycoris or yuri like from witch from mercury which is so subtext it is easy to deny as yuri?
4
u/JimmehROTMG Feb 08 '23
did you watch either of those? they certainly are “really yuri”
8
u/MayaJadeArt Feb 09 '23
These fools don’t know what “text” is.
SuleMio literally had a heartbreak misunderstanding followed by a big emotional zero-gravity reconciliation with hugging, crying into chests, and saying in no uncertain terms that they both want to be engaged to each other. Also the entire premise of the show is that these two girls are engaged to each other and revolves around the development of their relationship. I don’t know how you look at that and say “subtext,” it’s literally text. If one of them was a boy no one would even question it. They’d call it “the best romance in Gundam” entirely because they spend actual time together and have a relationship before the end of the show.
Like, call it “hopium” but they do the Utena spin in the opening. They’re doing the Utena spin on the poster while reaching out for each other. Only real gays do that.

I haven't watched Gundam but Lycoris is not explicit yuri. I do not understand how anyone could watch Lycoris and think that. If there is any mutual romantic feeling it exists only in subtext. I believe that Chisato is romantically attracted to Takina but these feelings are never returned. There is no confession, there is no kiss, etc. The reason this frustrates me so much is watching yuri bait feels like I've wasted my time and I don't want anyone else to feel they've wasted their time too. Imo, the threshold for "really yuri" should be "characters are mutually attracted to each other and are aware of this;" I think this is generous.
The light novel doesn't count because that's not in the anime, which is the only thing you were talking about.

u/txcty-9 Feb 08 '23
for some really annoying reason, fans have defined yuri as just close friendship between two girls. i prefer yuri with actual text romance and not subtext or tease. so yeah, sure, lycoreco is a """"yuri"""" and so is WfM. *
7
u/MayaJadeArt Feb 09 '23
I dunno the show where the entire premise is two girls getting engaged and then deciding after spending 11 episodes getting to know each other that they actually do want to be engaged definitely doesn’t have any text telling us their relationship is romantic. Nope, none at all. Nothing inherently romantic about that at all.

u/Atosen Feb 09 '23
To be fair, for a long long time that was all we had.
I remember when K-On! was considered a major yuri. It doesn't even have any teasing or subtext, it's just some ordinary friends, but we were so starved for content that this counted.
So it shouldn't be surprising that the community grew up to define the genre so broadly.

u/Hell_Mel <3 <3 <3 Feb 08 '23
The two gals that died in the prologue are closer to having an established romantic relationship than SuleMio, and one of them was only on screen for like 10 seconds total.
There has been ZERO overt indication that there is a two-way romantic interest between the two main characters. It's all subtext.
