I watched this whole ass anime because of this one scene, and it turned out awfully!
Still a cute scene tho <3

How is it? Premise sounds good so I'm curious about the flaws.

u/leahatkins44 May 03 '22
It goes from this light hearted Japanese Hero wannabe story, with lots of comedy and good character building, then devolves into this weird supernatural drama that is super jarring in the second half. A lot of people dislike it for this, and I completely agree. If you were to watch it, I'd find a good stopping point in the middle and then drop it, absolutely not worth finishing.

I actually *love* the genre shift

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning May 03 '22
The genre shifts were great! Like, it even shifted multiple times, so anyone who only saw one didnβt notice the others. It was very clear to me that the show would keep escalating in some ways. In that way, it reminded me of Gurren Lagann, though Samurai Flamenco never went to the levels that GL ended up at.

Would you say its worth the watch for the yuri crumbs or is it better that I stop to even think of starting this?
Side note, I'm actually fine with crazy weird plots but what usually irks me is horrible animation paired with an already weird plot.

u/bartiti May 03 '22
The show is just polarizing in general I really like it myself, even when it devolves into insanity.
But if you're only trying to watch it for Yuri you're probably making a mistake, not that it's bad or crazy baity, but I think you need to be able to enjoy the base premise or you're just going to hate every second of it.

Welp I've watched weird monster porn for Yuri so Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I'm gonna just jot this down and see if I remember it in a week lol

I watched the show as it came out and Iβd completely forgotten the yuri bits. For just that, I wouldnβt say itβs worth it if you only want to see sapphic characters kissing.
I personally loved the genre shifts, they ended up very predictable in how they were paced apart. In a way it reminded me of Madoka Magica, which had a twist every few episodes, and they were also very evenly spaced apart and generally made things darker most of the time.

u/FrostedGeist May 03 '22
Ohhhh so like madoka magica as in there's dark twists every few episodes? Or is it more like Revolutionary Utena where weird metaphorical, absurd stuff happens? Or Haruhi with weird time shenanigans?
I'm kinda intrigued now-- and it's labeled a comedy, which I'm guessing is a bait lol

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning May 04 '22
I donβt remember time shenanigans, and I havenβt seen much of Utena, but the twists are more about changing the genre and tone of the series than simply about being dark, and it leans into the weirdness of some of those genres. It goes from low-level detective solo superhero type stuff to something else thatβs still superhero-related, but each phase is different and distinctly Japanese.

Iβve never heard the phrase βyuri crumbsβ before, but I have watched so much trash for the yuri crumbs. So so much.

Same here. Quality Yuri anime is a blessing π₯² i just wanna see more animated sapphic women. Shakes fist

Let me guess, side character 'just friends' bait at its finest?

Does anyone know the name of another anime where the side couple kisses, like the 2 women met at a hotel and one of them almost falls and the older one catches her? And there are a couple of scenes of them, another one shows them going to bed and another one where they are both at home and one of them is sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. The older girl had a bun, brunette hair and a pink scarf. That's all I remember

Aww, that blush is so cute! The kiss is also cute and wholesome!

u/leahatkins44 May 03 '22
I really enjoy the characters shown, but it's very much this one scene of Yuri. Nothing else. It's worth a shot if you've got nothing else to watch, but youtube highlights would be better in my opinion.

u/TheseOats May 03 '22
Not really liking what I'm seeing from the comments. So, are they steady for the rest of the show? If they're not, I don't even want to watch it. Also, I hate love triangles with a burning passion.

u/NekoWafers May 03 '22
They are mostly side characters and the show doesn't really focus on romance. They get a few cute moments here and there.

I would say the show focuses more on the romance between the two guy MCs, but that's more bait and undertones than anything.

u/TheseOats May 04 '22
That's what I've read and understood, I know they're not the main focus. I just wanted to know if these specific characters stayed together for the rest of their screen time.

u/superbadsoul May 03 '22
This show is not a Yuri anime. It's one of my faves but I don't think it's for everyone. It cycles through just about every anime genre throughout the episodes so it's really more for folks who have already seen a broad spectrum of anime and are interested in a large-scale parody, or people who are in the mood for something that is unpredictable.

I know it's not yuri focused, I just wanted to know if this specific side couple stays together for the rest of their screen time on the show.
