How did yuri win already this early in the year?
That's crazy. I'm not even exclusively into yuri and this movie is so much better than any originals in forever.

Enormous, unimaginable cultural impact, tectonic shift

>>4520732
Yuri is a timeless magic that makes everything better. Once everyone understands this fundamental truth of the universe the happier everyone will be.

>>4520732
Even better that the guy famous for animating cuts and OPs for the biggest shounenslop chose this as his directorial debut once he got money and a team.

Yeah, it's funny to see even comments from japan ironizing "one time travels and endures 8000 years just to met again, and the other dedicates their life to creating a body for that person...as good friends". The desperation is palpable for people who don't like yuri.

>>4520786
saw a comment earlier saying something along the lines of "all anime originals are just going to be yuribait now to hop on the lycoris recoil trend..."

This looks very very good but there's a reincarnation of the prince whom the Little Mermaid is seen still blushing over in the trailer, so I shall not yuri gamble on this one.

About upcoming original movies, does anyone have more info about this one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5JN9lhoGes

This first trailer seemed cute and the premise is the typical girl meets girl.
However, the story is set in the 20th century and another trailer showed a boy that could end up being important (I really hope not).
Maybe I'm just being baited by the word Étoile

>>4520904
Superfriendship is the best we can hope for that one

>>4520904
If you go to the site's official site there are multiple images are of the guy and the girl interacting. Guaranteed the trailer conveniently decided not to show any of that. From the time period and art style you can figure out where it will go from there.

>>4520904
>>4520907
https://sh-anime.shochiku.co.jp/parieto-movie/character/
Nevermind, it is worse than that. The site has a relationship chart on it and it explicitly calls the girls tomodachi while having the line to the guy stand out in bright red.

>>4520908
>having the line to the guy stand out in bright red.
The line says "I want you to help Chizuru achieve her dream of becoming a dancer"
His line towards her says "it'd be fun to collaborate"

>>4520919
I'd put money on this having an understated romance between the guy and the girl with no character development occurring there, while 90% of the untime is her helping her "friend" achieve her dreams with a ton of emotional interaction between them. The better movie to look forward is Whoever Steals This Book (Kono hon o nusumu mono wa) which is yuri friendly, but not explicit like chou kaguya hime.

>>4520790
It's sadder than that; more than not wanting or liking yuri, it's that the little intelligence they have can't go beyond het (which is the most basic crap that could exist), so they can't even see the most obvious yuri.

She makes four different eight-page booklets as store preorder bonuses plus regular volume extras and other promo art every time a new volume is about to release. There's always been a hiatus while she does that.

Reminder that Sara gets repeatedly fingered by Neigass.

its hard to say if you would like it without knowing what you disliked about the anime/manga.

>/u/ rather talk about some shitty western show over Roll Over And Die which is an actual Yuri anime aironf this season
2026 is going to be a rough year for /u/.

Thank Goddess for the West: the paragons of yuri.

>>4520838
The PVs make it look very promising, especially since it was called a girl-meets-girl anime and all of the marketing has focused on the two MCs - some kind of "screw destiny, who cares about princes, break out of the role you've been cast in and find your own happiness!" narrative, maybe. But the concept trailer has the prince much more prominently, and his modern reincarnation looks to be some kind of hot delinquent bad-boy rather than a smarmy Elan-like who'd fit that kind of story better, so I'm not holding out a huge amount of hope. Will check out reactions when it's out, but I'm almost-fully expecting it'll be more "Lara learns through superfriendship that love is always worth pursuing again, even if it ended tragically the first time!"

The thing about Kaguya was that it was always going to be at least somewhat yuri-friendly, the gamble was just on how far it'd go, CGDCT with some bait or actually taking it seriously. If Goodbye Lara isn't yuri, it's going to be 100% standard shoujo romance.

>>4521211
Kaguya felt like the marketing was deliberately hiding the true nature of the story to suprise viewers. Unless I missed something, they never showed any of the big moments of skinship between Iroha and Kaguya. The Yachiyo twist was obviously not something they should even hint at. Mikado was never presented as Iroha's brother and his name means Emperor so it was easy to imagine he'd be Kaguya's love interest as in the fairy tale. That one at least feels like deliberate misdirection to me. Personally I thought the movie wouldn't go past some teasing between all three main girls though I didn't think they'd go the full romance route with Mikado either since trailers didn't show any interaction between them. The actual movie was a huge surprise, the depth of Iroha and Kaguya's relationship is overwhelming.

I can't bring myself to hope for Goodbye Lara to be like that though.

I just want to know why no one is talking about Roll Over And Die. Is it not Yuri? Is there surprised het?

>>4521223
Because it's a kinda low budget adaptation of a manga that /u/ was already following that is an adaptation of an WN/LN that /u/ already discussed a bunch years ago. Unless a show is quite high quality there's not a ton of discussion to be had about an adaptation. Same reason that there wasn't a bunch of discussion about WataTabe or IFTV or HSL, Sasakoki, etc.

What do you want to talk about? The Origin thing? Flum and Milkit ending up married at the end (that the anime will never get anywhere near)? The blind origin loli that Eterna hooks up with that the anime won't get to? Sara and Neigass having BDSM sex that the anime won't get to?

Most people already talk about it on the /a/ thread, mostly the series thread in the day of airing, translation of volume 6 will be out in june, it's very yuri to the point the author description of the series is that it's the marriage journey of Flum and Milkit.

>>4521983
Cosmic Princess Kaguya has zero plausible deniability though? Sure, the trailers hide its power level, but the actual movie doesn't care to coddle people who are uncomfortable with yuri. You will have Kaguya confess her feelings to Iroha and they will seethe like some moonfags trying to break up the ship only to get a 8000 year long powerplay into "Does it count if my first time is with an Android?", but actually good.

>>4522053
The "Japs" are real life people.

>>4522056
>zero plausible deniability
If g-witch has plausible deniability, so does kaguya. They never outright state their relationship or get intimate, which is where shit like "its up to interpretation" is able to weasel its way in. It needs hard confirmation that cant be misinterpreted, otherwise it is plausible deniability, thats literally what the term means.

>>4522057
We're talking about movies, you fucking retard.

>>4522060
G-witch doesn't have plausible deniability. The creators confirmed the marriage.
>that's what plausible deniabiltiy means
No, the term means that there must be a plausible alternate explanation that doesn't contradict the facts. There is no explanation that can counter the facts here.
Even if you were actually intentionally dishonest (so not plausible), you could at MOST push some schizo narrative about a one-sided crush. There are several romantic confessions in this movie and a marriage proposal that isn't rejected, but rather accepted.

There is exactly one way to make the yuri not real. By saying the characters are inexplicably lying about everything they say and feel. Is that plausible to you?

and how it depicts something one of the possible interpretations of which is a romantic confession.

>>4522076
Even if the characters looked into the camera and broke through the fourth wall to say they are dictionary definition lesbians and then pulled up a lesbian romance wiki page to read it to the viewers it would still never break through some of the thick skulls inhabiting /u/ who exist only to be contrarians. Learned to ignore their idiocy and it gives me more time to enjoy riding the wave of steady progress that yuri has made over the years.

>>4522076
MagiRevo going this detailed on it was more because Anise was in denial about the possibility of having her feelings returned, but it's funny how it also reads like an active shutdown of "plausible deniability" retards. Then again, they do kiss and fuck after this, so I don't really think there would have been any ambiguity regardless.

>>4522079
You are leaving out the part where she tells Iroha that she loves her and immediately says she should marry her afterwards, which frames the confession of love as romantic by default.
And you are also ignoring the part just before this vocal confession in which Kaguya confirms in her mind that she fell in love with Iroha on first sight, which... uh... is not a thing for platonic love.
Try again?

>>4522080

Are you in the mood for nitpicking today? Well, then I'll keep this conversation going in the manner you've set.
So, Iroha never said she loved Kaguya. Nor did Iroha ever agree to "marry" Kaguya; she agreed to "continue being together".

Well they spent the entire new episode of Omae Gotoki on the underground lab thing so I guess the next episode will be Flum against those two guys, some SOL and then they will continue with the plot. Also they added Sara to the second ED pic but I really doubt we will see that much characters there unless they rush the plot.

I wouldn't say it's worth to read the manga just for Sensei and her girlfriend, but they got a whole arc.

Guess we should add "plausible deniablity" to the list of buzzwords used by hetshitter concern trolls. Like "yuribait", or "male gaze (this one is for shows like MahoAko where there's no denial)"
They can be more than buzzwords if used properly, but most use of these terms is trolls using them to shitpost and bait

>>4522084
Claiming there's "plausible deniability" in clearly gay characters is denying they're gay
The plausible deniability retard right now is actively denying they're explicitly gay. He also did it with two married women (his SuleMio example. When the problem with "up to interpretation" is that it's an statement made by a retard who hasn't watched the show and thinks it only goes as far as something like Lycoris Recoil or Toji no Miko. Yet this retard still thinks the show itself has "plausible deniability". No, it doesn't. And pretending it does means not knowing jackshit, which is incredibliy ridiculous for the company that made it. That's why the statement was so bad. Like calling a female character a dude)

>>4522094
I am aware. But he just went back to teasing/ making the loser Mc feel important so it might as well have been 5 minutes compared to the rest of the 200 plus chapter story so far

Plausible deniability has to be... plausible, when you dismiss confessions or marriage proposals you are not trying to argue they are not together anymore, you are trying to cope they are not fucking and this is a cope you can have for 99% of japanese media regardless of yuri.

>>4522115
Noticing the (seemingly obvious) fact that the creators, let's say, made some effort to sit on two chairs simultanously isn’t the same thing as "actively denying”. Let's not blame them, after all it's commerce first and art second. We'd better be thankful that this time sitting on two chairs didn't turn out as awkward as it did back then with the married BFFs.

>>4522129
Kill yourself, retard. Your post makes no sense
There's no enlightened "noticing". Just pure copium and denial
And again, the "up to interpretation" shit was some bussiness dude who knows nothing about the show, not any actual "creator"

>>4522129
While I agree that many works that people label yuri here have creators trying to be creative juggling the line, I feel like the problem is also exacerbated by the fact that the bar for a yuri can be considered "explicit" and "romantic" is too high, and even JP yurifags themselves can't agree on what is yuri or not and what is yuri with romance and whatsnot. This discussion has only gotten worse with Kaguya.
Maybe fans of the genre can benefit from just ignoring the yuri tag and just use the GL tag for more explicit stuff and save everyone the headache.

In practice it's what already happens, if you take a look at any japanese store, you will see 98% of the titles in a yuri shelf are romance, they are not putting the whole kirara catalog there, only semi friends and a few others, most of the time not even bad girl, they are not making the point of this is yuri or not, rather it's just a natural market reaction to what the consumer who is searching for those products are buying or not, which are mostly romances, if too many products which are not romances start being popularized as yuri, the market will naturally making a distinction because otherwise people will start having problems finding what they want.

>>4522182
The novel apparently says something akin to 'Iroha and her brother are never gonna have kids'...that family line is dead via homosexuality.

You'll never get an answer, that's why it will destroy the logic and narrative of these people, especially to deny yuri, but at the same time they accept as canon rather weak displays of affection or that are not so different, like that movie of the girl related to the rain, she is sacrificed for the common good, but the boy "saves" her and the life of an entire city goes to shit with permanent rain, that's a happy ending by the way and there are no kisses either.

The moral of the story is that if there's a minimum of affection and it involves men, it's romance; if it's only with women, then people are crazy.

>>4521972
Watanare movie was just a while ago though
Not only it was so popular and high quality but also on actual big screen

>>4522203
Something funny about Weathering with you is that Shinkai said in an interview he doesn't see the relationship between the leads as romantic. You can tell he was already already getting tired of being pigeonholed into the role of director who makes the same kind of romance movie every time, then with Suzume he openly started mentioning he was forced to do it again because it's what sells and came up with the forceful chair transformation to intentionally downplay the romance as much as possible. Nobody will tell you those aren't romance movies despite the author's intention tnough. With yuri it's often the opposite, people in bad faith will attempt to downplay absolutely anything.

>>4522207
People can invent any excuse, like the typical "difference between men and women," but at the end of the day it's simply pure hypocrisy.

I was looking for some completed and fluffier age gap student teacher yuri to read tonight and was surprised how few there are to choose from. Kusanagi-san looks like the only one that isn't too dramatic.

To be fair, Onee-loli and pedophilia are different things; the former is simply love, the latter is a cult of people who strongly justify their paraphilia as something good for everyone.

>>4522098
The literal exchange is
Kaguya: "I should marry Iroha then"
Iroha: "Huh?"
Kaguya: "Is that a no?"
Iroha: "That's not it. As long as you pay half the living expenses I don't mind staying with you"

Unless you are going to use the most blatant and retarded semantics possible, she is not rejecting her and she actively wants to stay with Kaguya, in the context of marriage. Of course they cant get married, because Japan's laws are retarded, but this is just a straightforward exchange.

I dont know why you dodged to his after I literally destroyed your entire case though. It's really random? I explained to you why Kaguya's romantic was in a romantic context and how she repeated her claim that she fell in love with Iroha even internally. No wiggle room.

>>4522115
No, the convo was initially just about what retarded excuses hetshitters made and how stupid they are.

>>4522291
>Japan's laws are retarded
True, but are the moon's? Kaguya, as princess, can easily give Iroha citizenship there if need be.

>>4522297
Uh no... the entire movie is about never going back to the moon and literally being an escaped fugitive essentially.
Also Lunarians seem to be mostly emotionless programs who don't give a shit about relationships, so I doubt they have marriage. They literally invaded the second Kaguya made a marriage proposal that was accepted, so they are clearly the "ryaju explode!" types.

>>4522291
nta but i dont think Iroha really responded to the marriage part specifically. She waved it off while agreeing to continue living with Kaguya, which is pretty much what Kaguya was asking for anyways and was just being a bit hyperbolic in the heat of the moment since they just performed a concert. practically the same thing under a different name in their eyes though
>i think maybe i should just marry you
>whaaa
>no, then?
>i guess if you pay half the rent and bills, i dont mind us living together
>>4522391
you're replying to a bot

>>4522291
Let's all think about why the writer decided that Iroha should respond in this particular way, what the point of it is in terms of storytelling. Why not just say, "I love you too and want to marry you"? Maybe to show that Iroha is a tsundere? Perhaps, but isn't the ultimate goal of a romantic story with a tsundere to show that she eventually opens up and becomes able to honestly say what she couldn't before? Meanwhile, in this case, that doesn't happen.
Perhaps the screenwriter just wanted to train the audience's so-called Media Literacy? Very likely, let's agree on that.

>>4522403
>She waved it off while agreeing to continue living with Kaguya
Except there was no reason to reaffirm that they will keep living together. Their arrangement is already indefinite as long as the Lunarians dont come to pick her up.
It's Iroha's indirect tsundere way of accepting the proposal. And once again the love confession before is put into a romantic context on purpose, which I find far more important.

>>4522403
>bot
Then why are the mods not banning it? Botting is against 4chan's rules.

>>4522404
>Why does the tsundere not confess back 50% into the movie
Gee, I wonder? The fact that she does not reject her at all is already way more honest than any tsundere usually gets.
And what do you mean anyway? By the end of the movie she literally openly states that she wants to be with Kaguya and that her happy ending depends entirely on staying with her.

In the Light Novel she calls Kaguya her beloved and it's stated that their grandparents are angry at her because they won't get any granchildren.

I just don't understand these facetious pretend arguments. You know you are wrong, but you are just doing it out of boredom, aren't you?

>>4522407
>In the Light Novel she calls Kaguya her beloved
That's nice, but it's exactly another case of what was mentioned above as 'sitting on two chairs'. The main story is crafted in such a way as not to offend any audience, while what isn't intended for all audiences is hidden in the side materials.

>>4522418
Why are you lying though? Do you think the general audience that doesnt actually exist, who is magically offended by yuri, would be fine having Kaguya being openly in love with Iroha? You are making zero sense.
I will tell you something, this movie isn't for a general audience. This is a movie for otaku. A movie for vocaloid fans and Vtuber fans and idol fans. A movie for people who love Sakuga battle animations and a movie for people who love dance choreography. And it is a movie for yuri fans first and foremost. If you dislike any one of these things you can still enjoy the movie anyway. The director made the movie openly gay and didn't give a shit if you wouldn't like that. He already knew the vocaloidfags would watch it regardless. He knew the animation fetishists would eat it up. This movie was going to succeed regardless of whether it had yuri or not, but he chose to make it undeniably yuri. There is zero ambiguity in it.

The side-materials enhance and add, they are not required to see the fucking obvious. You are absolutely shitposting, because if you watched the movie you would already know you had no case at all. It's a yuri romance movie.

>Ienai Himitsu No Aishikata
I just read this since I remembered liking it in the past but never finished it. Now that I've finished reading it again it makes me sad that my fond memories aren't going to hold up. Blackmailing her teacher into a secret cohabitation lover pact had so much potential for flirting but instead the entire thing was about this 3rd wheel love triangle bullshit. I need to find better yuri to cleanse my soul of this disappointment.

is it ever explained why no one questions why Flum isnt in the hero party anymore? i imagine they also tell others she went home, but then the people at her hometown would get suspicious

I've done this by printing the pages on glossy photo paper and putting it in a little photo album.

I was tempted to get a nice printer to do it myself but decided against it and just got a tablet to read on instead.
