Spirit of DMG Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I like Yuri. Though, lately...*begins slipping into depression* Well, uh, anyway *clears throat* Yaoi-Kun, is your avi Lina Inverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarvaeMothKaiba Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I prefer bara myself. Yaoi is too annoyingly formulaïc. 'Course' date=' yuri is actually funny and the characters are generally designed better, but... Mind you, all those genres are iffy. The best of all of it tends to come from non-dedicated series (I can't think of much boy's love 'cuz of C.C., but Lucky Star and Nanoha are probably the best yuri ever written). The symbol is totally phallic, dood. Lucky Stars Yuri? I don't recall it having anything remotely Yuri in Lucky Star (Seems about as far from any sexual nature you can get) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the manga author has stated that one or the other of Konata and Kagami have at least a one-sided love for the other, which is really bleeding obvious during the bit with the cold, the first concert ("I wonder what this feeling I'm feeling is..."), the school trip, the absurdly Freudian dream sequence in the OVA culminating in "I wanna sleep with Konata..."...what is with all the stinkin' Pokemon' date=' on a YU-GI-OH!

DL Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 @DMG - No, not Lina Inverse, Tasuki. @Game Master - I think Yaoi is funny. (just look at Electric Hands) But that's just my personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Shizuma is hawt like that. Whenever she's on screen - face it - you love her.

Shradow Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hate to change the subject, but I realized something. It seems a lot of heroic anime characters are imbeciles. Luffy, Goku, and Kamina are prime examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the statements by the author that one of the two confirmed couples in the show is necessarily lesbian, and then read on about a third that's mercilessly lampshaded mid-show? Best yuri - let's all face it - is Strawberry Panic because of Shizuma. Shortly after is Aoi Hana.Mm' date=' Shizuma rubbed me the wrong way, tbh. She got better as time went on, but she was a total jabroni at first. Tamao, ironically, developed the other way; the end result was one of the few shows that had multiple viable pairings. Suzunari is nice for dedicated yuri, though. Never heard of Aoi Hana. (Mind you, Touhou is no slouch for yuri, either...)Hate to change the subject' date=' but I realized something. It seems a lot of heroic anime characters are imbeciles. Luffy, Goku, and Kamina are prime examples.[/quote'] slowpoke.gifThe ones that are more intelligent are generally more interesting, though — Shinji, Lelouch, Simon, Negi, et cetera. To be perfectly honest, I really, really hate Luffy and Goku (Kamina is at least partly obfuscating stupidity, since he's very insightful at the right times). On that note, people always say Shinji is a wuss, but given all the crap he has to go through, he's actually one of the most awesome characters ever. He's more awesome than anyone I know, anyway. >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Gamemaster; However, Lucky Star - in terms of genre - can't be called a yuri. It sure is set up like one, but in the end, it's just a school life anime/manga. The imagery that the artist character has with the green and pink haired character would be the only close to yuri part. Touhou isn't canon yuri either. Thank goodness for doujins though~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Gamesmaster Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Who cares about official genre? It's got the elements. Nanoha isn't yuri per se, but anyone denying the elements aren't there hasn't seen Season 3. (also, the two main characters...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Haven't seen Nanoha, but it's not what I'm referring to. But an argument of this sort isn't really worth it, in my opinion~ But really, Lucky Star never appealed to me as yuri =\ Never will. On the other hand, if you do like yuri, go watch Aoi Hana then.

Now I agree that Konata is likely bi, I don't know about Kagami, because in a lot of scenes, she worrys about how guys view her, and doesn't seem to like girls that way. And I doubt Tsukasa and Miyuki even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of DMG Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Marisa: I'm afraid I must disagree with you. That girl, can't remember her name, I think it was Kagura, is awesome sauce.

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Kagura can be okay since Shizuma fell for her in the end. However, I was such a supporter of ShizumaxMiyuki it's not even funny ;____; Right when I saw them together, I was a fan~ And when they kissed, even more so~ But then, in the end, I died. Yuri is my guilty pleasure >____> Also, *cough* there's a hidden link in my sig *cough*. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Wait ((O A o));; Who's Kagura again? I thought Kagura was Nagisa for a second. So in my last post, just know that I meant Nagisa. But really, ShizumaxMiyuki was just too good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6Ur4zxYIAE >____>And yes, the pic.
