I like to imagine that after the end, Charlotte was forgiven - but still sensually punished by Hiiragi and Kasumi for her antics

I felt really bad during the scene where it happens, but Momoka domming the Governeur is so hot. That casual boob flick while Momoka is kind of just mocking her.

Really a long shot, but it would be possible to get translations of the remaining short stories after all this time?
Only the Lady Lady and Akira ones were ever translated, so we are missing the Kasumi/Kouzuki, Torino/Meifong, Charlotte/Harem, and MireMamo ones

Happy belated Valkyrie Drive Day!
Desperately wish to phase into the timeline where it got like five seasons, six films, a dozen OVAs, and a giant animation budget.
Other than Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, anyone have recommendations for things that might have some of the same energy?

Sin Nanatsu no Taizai aried not long after VD and it has much of the same energy (and it was also quickly forgotten).

Sin Nanatsu no Taizai was screwed by airing censored despite it was softcore. When the BDrips came out, everybody moved on to the current FOTS. I think it'd performed a lot better if it aired uncensored. I may be the only guy that was genuinely invested on the plot rather than the PLOT

Not really, it has better handling of the sins and characters than one might expect, especially in the yuri part, they could have ended up as generic stereotypes, but in the end the characters were charming.
The problem was that it didn't have a real sequel and Bitoku was a generic piece of shit, which was exactly as bad as Nanatsu could be as an anime and made the virtues look terrible as characters, apparently a game was needed to give those same characters substance.
>>
>>4481800
not at the same level, but within the closest thing you would have things like Queen's Blade (ignore Unlimited, although they are quite desperate to get that part afloat yet), Bikini Warriors (although it is more of a parody, it leans towards yuri) and at a lesser level something like Kandagawa Jet Girls (ridiculously romantic with its 2 protagonists, even with a clear kiss at the end), I wouldn't know whether to consider Ange Vierge (a lot of bath scenes and naked people) but it works in the yuri part and even Strike Witches in general, despite the ecchi part having been reduced quite a bit over time, but at least it's increasingly yuri.
In general, it shows the potential and how superior these series are, being yuri or for having yui, a reminder that Maho Ako at the time destroyed 2 Het series that had to raise the stakes to be at the same level and were terrible about it and clearly will not improve in their subsequent seasons, in fact, one of those is airing its second season and it still sucks.

Thanks - a lot of these are very much on my to-watch list. Kandagawa Jet Girls is a Senran Kagura spinoff, right? For that matter - does the Senran Kagura anime have any yuri vibes? The games never got explicit as far as I know, but they at least had the sorta magical girl/schoolgirl anime feel where it's an all-female cast and stories are focused almost entirely on the emotional bonds between girls.
Read about a series called Vividred Operation a bit ago, that I think is from the same creator as Strike Witches, and is somewhat yuri. At least the transformation sequences involve kissing I think

>>Kandagawa Jet Girls is a Senran Kagura spinoff, right?
No, it has the same creator but it's not a spin-off, it's its own thing, only the game includes characters from Senran Kagura as a bonus, but they are irrelevant to the story, the anime is what elevates yuri especially for the main couple.
>>Senran Kagura anime have any yuri vibes?
Technically yes, S1 establishes interesting things regarding yuri, the problem is that Shinovi Master is stupidly terrible (apparently it's not even a sequel to S1 of the Anime) horrible in general terms and has the sin of making ecchi not at all exciting and embarrassing more than anything.
>>Vividred Operation
>At least the transformation sequences involve kissing I think
that's a Meguka, so it's yuri friendly even establishing (at least the possibility) of 2 couples, with Akane and Rei being considerably romantic in the final stretch and the kiss part is in itself a fusion mechanic.
>>
>>4481967
>What's this about?
reminder and proof that yuri is superior to everything else.
although if we are considering series with some ecchi or at least a little erotic, I think you can also consider Symphogear (costume design), Saki (there is no underwear, although the manga really raises the stakes with implied sex and everything), Assault Lily (girl-on-girl kink and girl-on-girl thighs that kick the mainstream), Ochikobore Fruit Tart (pure and simple yuri kink) and just by character design the Azur Lane anime (just the first anime)
There may be more examples, but this is what I remember for now.
>>
>>4482006
Agreed on yuri being superior, just wondering what that was about mahoako crushing some het series or something
>Azur Lane
I feel like I'm in the minority of people who liked the first anime. There were some heavy overtones between Enterprise and Belfast, I forget if there was much else. Not a male character in sight though - I wish other gacha adaptations took the same approach of just unexisting the male self-insert protag and making it entirely about the girls

>> mahoako crushing some het series or something
In the season that MahoAko came out there were 2 ecchi/Het/harem series, but MahoAko gained more relevance than those 2, I can swear that both increased the intensity of some scenes after MahoAko already did that from the beginning and being a much superior anime in general.
>>just unexisting the male self-insert protag and making it entirely about the girls
The Blue Archive anime was terrible, so that's not an exaggeration, the same can even be said for GF, F/GO and even Priconne.
>>4482016
The ones who openly hated the anime were the waifugafs who didn't like that "their" girls were real characters and weren't dependent on a poorly made male character (seriously) or that the "vivid man" didn't appear at the end and save everyone just because he exists (seriously) and then the second anime came along that was more in line with what they wanted and it was simply horrible.
I already remembered another anime on the list, Harukana Receive, beach volleyball, so having girls in swimsuits is mandatory, but it worked better than expected, in addition to the ridiculously gay nature of its protagonists and the other characters (ironically less perverted than Hanebado, which used its budget to have bouncing tits and nothing else, not even the script)

Kinda uplifting that yuri ecchi won out - not what I'd expect given how most weeb spaces online tend to react to yuri stuff
I watched some of Chained Soldier/Slave since at least it seemed to be femdom-themed, but dropped it when the fanbase kindly informed me that actually it's more domination loss/female humiliation focused. Cursed.

>> but dropped it when the fanbase kindly informed me that actually it's more domination loss/female humiliation focused. Cursed.
It's a Het harem series where the man who is supposed to be unimportant, becomes the center of the universe and most of the girls gravitate around him, I don't know what you expected.
in itself it's sad and pathetic at the same time, a system is created where only girls can fight and instead of keeping it that way you have a "mascot" man that sucks up any interaction and importance the girls may have, lord of the rings (jat) isn't too different either, the girls themselves are the ones who fight (to be fair 2 of them seem to have no feelings for the MC) but the guy is still the center of everything.
in contrast to the all-female (ecchi) series, these characters are decent at worst and not having a man around doesn't help the series improve, even something like the Blade & Soul anime has better characters and interactions than the 2 Het series mentioned (you could even say there's yuri) and B&S isn't a good anime by the way.

Considering what it was, it could have been much worse. At least they deserve credit for not going down the forced Het route or including Het just to attract people. It's funny that the MC's lack of personality was a plot point.
