The Yuri Thread

[TheEclecticDude]

Well, since we don't have a thread on this in the anime section, I decided to start one on yuri, a genre that behind science fiction and fantasy, is a favorite genre of yours truly.

I will admit: I am a yuri fanboy. I find watching a show where two girls hook up and have a relationship interesting to me.

Anime with yuri that I have seen (both subtle and not so):
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Battle Athletes (Both OVA and TV)
Bodacious Space Pirates
Cyberteam in Akihabara (especially episode 10)
El Hazard
Diebuster
Madoka Magica
Strawberry Panic
Read or Die

Let me know what you guys think of yuri (Rynnec I am lookin' at you)

Don't really have strong opinions on it, since I like any sort of romantic relationship story so long as it is well-written (though, unfortunately when it comes to anime, it is often not). Off the top of my head, I can't think of that many anime I like that has yuri in it, unless you count Kaori's crush on Sakaki in Azumanga Daioh.

Actually, this topic reminded me of this Urusei Yatsura episode I just watched recently. It doesn't feature an actual relationship between two women, but it might amuse you nonetheless.

You rang?

It's no secret that I'm probably the biggest (and until EclecticDude joined, possibly the only) yuri fan on this board. What can I say? Stories with relationships between girls are incredibly cute, and romantic to me. I tend to prefer it to het romance 9 times out of 10.

Here are the yuri/sorta yuri stuffs I've watched:

Kannazuki no Miko
Diebuster
Some Strawberry Panic
A few episodes of El Cazador de la Bruja
Murder Princess
Almost all of Koihime Musou (bleh)
Almost all of Canaan
The first two season of Lyrical Nanoha
Madoka Magica
Black Rock Shooter (both OVA and TV series)


On the manga side of things I mostly read Hayate X Blade and Miyabi Fujieda's output.
