(NSFW) This chapter from the Lily & Ivy anthology received a new translation. There was another scan of this floating around of much poorer quality. Not a stand out or anything but its fun, though I think the last page undercuts the rest of the one shot. thetoughestbean posted:Ikkoku Nikki is so good.

Also, it looks like its the mangaka's first work, because besides this there are only illustrations on their Pixiv - so I definitely look forward to more of their work!

I recently watched Bloom Into You (and then read the remainder of the manga) and goddamn it's refreshing to see sapphic & asexual attraction explored so well onscreen. (Manga ending spoilers) I had my doubts about them as a healthy couple, but I was pretty happy with their growth and balance by the end of the series. It felt real and earned. I know there are a ton of sapphic/yuri romance mangas out there (and this thread has no shortage of them) but somehow I only recently realised those stories were becoming more mainstream in anime too. What are some other good sapphic animes from the last decade? I'm sure I've missed a bunch. I heard good things about The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady but I'm struggling to get into it. Edit: Going back further than that, I know Utena and Nana are highly regarded. I watched the latter when it first aired, but that was so long ago and I'm (literally) a different person now. Perhaps I'll rewatch it! jassa fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Jun 28, 2023 |

The problem with yuri anime as such is that they tend to be adaptations of fairly slow-burn works that only get one season. So like Adachi and Shimamura is pretty decent but it also just kind of ends before most of the relationship development from the books. Along with Magical Revolution, The Executioner and Her Way of Life is another one people broadly liked recently, but they all have this issue. Sound! Euphonium and SSSS.Gridman aren't romances as such and more about exploring queer girls' interiority, but they are personal favourites. More unconditional recs are Liz and the Blue Bird (gorgeous movie sequel to Euphonium, so that is also worth watching to get the most out of this) and Gundam: Witch from Mercury (ends this sunday; personally I'm a bit lukewarm on it rn but it has a lot of fans and demands no prior familiarity with Gundam) More niche recs: Blue Reflection Ray (odd looking show but great writing, also play the video game Blue Reflection Second Light), Machikado Mazoku (deceptively smart goofball comedy), Flip Flappers (not quite my personal vibe but very colourful and dynamic) and Assault Lily (thoroughly trashy but oddly fun). And yeah, Girl in Twilight, Granbelm and Revue Starlight are all worth a look. Edit: Also to discard the "this decade" qualifier for a moment: If you haven't yet, watch Maria-sama ga Miteru. It's a classic of the genre and solid throughout, but gets brilliant in season 4 Terry van Feleday fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jun 28, 2023 |

YuriKuma Arashi is by the director of Utena (which you should definitely watch! my favorite show ever, and is an all time great sapphic story!) and is meant as a sort of commentary on the yuri genre and how lesbians are portrayed in culture. It's incredibly horny, and I'm not 100% certain it nails the landing, but it is definitely about queer women and sapphic love.

ToxicFrog posted:It's been ages since I watched Noir but I remember really enjoying it. I found Madlax okay but kind of middling. I started over a couple of times watching it because I had a hard time following things - it gets... very weird by the end? I really liked El Cazador de la Bruja and the dynamic between the two protagonists buuuuut it has a pretty rough depiction of a pair of trans women who are minor reoccurring 'joke' antagonists right in the opening arc. They eventually stop showing up but they get brought back for one last bonus fat joke in the epilogue. Despite how much I ended up liking the series beyond that, it's not really the kind of thing I feel comfortable asking someone else to overlook. Both series get pretty gay at least

Personally I thought Noir was very dull but Madlax and El Cazador were both marked improvements in terms of having like, actual characters with actual interactions that I gave a poo poo about. Also Madlax's dumb plot was way more fun than Noir's boring assassin conspiracy and the main villain is named Friday Monday, which the characters make sure to declare dramatically at every opportunity. El Cazador is much lighter on plot and more purely character/relationship-focused than the other two and does a great job using its episodic adventures to slowly develop the lead duo's relationship, I consider it by far the best of the three

noir is all mood and atmosphere. also the reveal is that the conspiracy has a faction of old men who stare at a fireplace and a faction led by women that dedicates itself to a yuri religion and has nuns with guns. and there is a power struggle between the two groups. simplifying it to "boring assassin conspiracy" is doing it a major disservice lol.

See my problem with Noir is it took too long to get the Church assasins and it didn't get enough time with them. Whereas Madlax and El Cazador introduced the weird stuff much earlier Anyway for spiritual successors to the trio the closest recent series is Princess Principal and also Flip Flappers has a decent amount of the same energy

On the subject of classic anime about gay ladies whom shoot guns, I picked up Bakuretsu Tenshi a while ago and it holds up surprisingly well (aside from the fact that the secondary protagonist/love interest mostly seems to exist to gently caress up and get kidnapped so that Jo can rescue her). I watched it back-to-back with Lycoris Recoil and kinda got struck by the thought that the protagonists in one show would be the villains in the other; they're similar in theme and tone but with markedly different sympathies.

Remember when Witch's Servant got a chapter translated but it turns out it was by some goofus machine-translating it? It got a different group to pick it up, because it's actually translated by human beings now. It doesn't have nearly as much charm as the previous group who dropped it (and likely won't have as much tact on the gender stuff either,) but it's actually readable.

And the new villain has a cool design, at the very least. *As long as they'll handle the gender stuff alright, which they seem to be doing.
