Anime/Yuru Yuri

Well, that was fun. Chitose's delusions and nosebleeds are great, Ayano/Kyouko is definitely the best pairing, and good god Himawari and Sakurako need to just go ahead and fuck.

I think Akarin's officially given up the title of Protagonist though.

Best case of Tsunderes in Love i've ever seen. Yes, they do indeed need to go ahead and let loose their passions in one wild night of unrestrained desire. While Chitose takes pictures.

-Ahem-

Really, i've never seen any other show tackle this many plot threads in one episode this well. Aside from no forwarning on Ayano being sick.

Agreed.

I didn't think they actually handled all those plot threads too well though. They should've had a bit where Kyoko or Yui remembers that they were supposed to make Akari more noticable at the very end.

There's just one thing that bugs me though, but that has something to do with the player I watch it on.

Yeah the Tsundere couple stole the show... I hadn't laughed that hard in a while.

Best show in a good while IMO.

Hey, uh, Crunchyroll, you gonna explain what that one punishment thing meant? >_<

Was that part of the subtitles?

It was 'fine, fine [Western name, I don't remember what]' and it was never explained. Apparently it was kinda exciting.

Episode 3

Mostly Kyouko/Yui and Chinatsu/Yui this episode.

Kyouko was pretty adorable all episode. And Akari's hair is funnels!

Himawari and Sakurako need their own fucking series.... Seriously.

After hearing Kyouko's philosophy when it comes to gaming instantly makes her one of the best character in the show in my eyes.

Yui just plunged down the very bottom with her style of gaming though...

I forget, did we actually get a true backstory for the photo or did they just leave it off with Yui saying that Kyouko was making it up?

I'm pretty sure they were just sleeping in the same bed, because 6 year olds do that a lot.

I like this show, but on some level it makes me sad that there isn't a Hayate X Blade anime yet, since both have so many female characters of a certain type.

Other than being stuffed to the gills with lesbians, Yuru Yuri and Hayate X Blade are absolutely nothing alike.

But I'd like a Hayate X Blade anime too.

You've got an all-girl school setting with multiple sets of Loveable Sex Maniac + Tsundere pairs. They strike a lot of the same humorous chords, at least from my perspective.

-Goes to read Hayate X Blade-

Damn! It's licensed! Can't Archive Binge it then. Curse you, moral code!

...I don't recognize a single thing in the preview. They just did a pretty good job expanding on the manga, so I'm not too worried, but this should be interesting

Ahh, I love this manga/anime. Akariiiin! Yes, the anime is doing a good job of rearranging scenes from the manga in a more coherent manner and expanding on them.

Only thing that really bugs me: practically no side characters. Side characters can be a useful joke source. Although sticking to the eight main characters helps the manga/show retain its relaxed/yuru feel.

Chitose's Delusions are so wonderful! There has never been a bigger Yuri Fan Girl. (unusual for Yuri but she sees Ayano as the Uke and Kyouko the Seme but it totally fits Ayano's Tsundere personality.)

(Debating on using this as my avy)

Meh, I'm still jaded from Kanako and Haruka's antics/delusions. As for contemplating over a new avatar, use it.

I'm getting really annoyed by Akari's status quo. If you can't commit to make a character seem important, then don't create her at all. Why make her the butt monkey?

If you can't commit to make a character seem important, then don't create her at all.

Thats the joke!

Forgettable Protagonist is a very common thing and they are making fun of it.

How in the whathecks can a protagonist be forgettable? Because it ain't a protagonist if one can't track one. Take Akari, she's memorable, is part of the opening and ending credits' crew, and started off well in EP 1, UNTIL the planning started shafting her into sucker punches. It's annoying

Perhaps having a protagonist as a Cosmic Plaything is not my tea

I really think you are taking this far more seriously than is intended.
