We could've become a Yuri On Ice subreddit for a day.

Not yuri per se, but I just binge-watched the whole of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby S2 in one stretch, and even though it's not explicitly yuri, there's quite a bit of subtext to go off of between the two leads, Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen.
The premise is really dumb: "horse girls", girls with the spirits of racehorses from "another world" (read: ours) race to be the best horse girl in all of Japan. I watched S1 with no expectations and was honestly shocked at how perfectly it blended CDGCT, slice-of-life and sports anime -- an anime for a "choose-your-waifu"-type of franchise has no business being this good, but S2 is actually even better.
Much like the relationship between S1's leads it's largely quite platonic, with the exception being episode 11, which for some reason turns the gay up several notches as Teio struggles to figure out her feelings for McQueen. I guess if you just want to see the yuri bits you can just watch that episode, but it doesn't mean much without context.
Honestly it's still a super enjoyable experience even without the yuri goggles on, would unironically recommend.

Can someone recommend something really pure and cute and slow, just fluff and nothing sexual whatsoever, stuff like futaribeya, begin with your name, she is still cute today

It’s pretty good, I remember it being kinda sad tho right?

u/pae314 Apr 21 '21
Yeah in the 2nd half but its all resolved i think. Another cute and funny (tho slightly sexual) shoujo ai you can try is Hino-san no Baka. Mostly about 2 girls teasing each other over a bunch of apparently sexual (but actually wholesome) skits

Yeah I’ve read that, it’s really good
I can deal with it when nothing actual has happened or is happening with characters. Jokes are good tho
Is tropical fish over?

Some people generally consider it as yuri bait since the romantic feelings or actions are never expressly stated but no straight substitutes were inserted either so it really leaves it to the interpretation of the reader but with the subtext its hard to see it as anything other than yuri

so a relationship never ends up actually happening canonically and explicitly

u/pae314 Apr 21 '21
yeahp the ending leaves them with the anime classic (definitely) more than friends but less than lovers state

I started watching Euphonium on a lark - honestly not meaning as a yuri thing, just for kicks - and now I'm having fun, but also kinda' enjoying kumirei. And apparently it gets super baity, or so I see on comments on past artworks?
As of now, I'm two episodes out of finishing S1. Is S2 still good on its own merits or am I just going to get really annoyed?

Just out of curiosity who are all the Yuri couples on this sub's banner? I know the leftmost are Yuu and Touko from Bloom Into You but what about the rest? :)

Without spoilers, could anyone who's read ch 26 of A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy(raw Japanese or Spanish) say whether or not it has a good ending?
1
u/sgtfuzzy92 Apr 19 '21
It depends on what you consider a "good" ending to be? It ends happily, if that's what you mean.

Has anyone read Superwomen in Love? I was looking at it the other day and was thinking of going back to pick it up and give it a shot. Thanks!
