So is this on Funimations crappy rear end site yet? I can't find the actual page for it, if it even exists; just announcements.

The Black Stones posted:Nope. The rumblings on my Twitter from Zac on ANN seems to indicate it's being "delayed-cast" Well, poo poo. At least looking at the #yurikuma tag is fairly amusing. It seems we've got an Ikuhara bingo already.  edit: Here's da OP (while it lasts) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64AbgBKTUGQ editeditedit

Violet_Sky posted:Where are you people watching this? Crunchyroll has nothing. It'll eventually be on Funimation (or various non-UK European countries on CR), I'm not sure about Canadian availability. I'd like to actually watch the stupid episode because there has to be some middle ground between s-s-s-sex  and Ikuhara can do no wrong  Also, the OP mainly just made me laugh.

Did you watch the one that was translated from crunchy's German subs and then into English? Since according to twitter that's a thing that happened. The people demand their gay bears Funi: make with the anime.

Oh I finally found an official update, maybe everyone else already saw it.  funimation posted:The first episodes of Absolute Duo and Yurikuma Arashi will be available for FUNimation Streaming Subscribers just a couple days after their Japanese premiere. But fear not, all future episodes will be available just 3 hours after they air in Japan. Look for Episode 01 of Absolute Duo and Yurikuma Arashi at the dates and times listed below, and new episodes every Monday at 12:00 Noon and 12:30 PM CST, respectively. And will hopefully mean less of this:

So can we expect "rawr" from the official translations? (I'm fine with that). Or maybe "grr argh"

It feels like the first episode was intended to (kuma) shock us and get us curious about what is to come. I dunno, Ikuhara is an intriguing director, but he's not solid gold; we'll just have to see if he's going to go anywhere with this that I'll find interesting.

Kaelan Zero posted:The manga seems to be Morishima's deal and it's pretty distinct from the anime. I get the impression that w/the manga she's just doing her thing and then the anime is lifting her character designs and some themes and doing something else with them. I ran across a quote from an interview that said Ikuhara decided not to try and make the manga and anime be consistent with each other so he could achieve his goals with the anime. Is there more than 2 chapters scanned and translated anywhere? The ones on dynastyscans haven't updated in since March.

so you literally can't comprehend that someone might watch a show by a director who loves symbols and poo poo and see what it's about? lol

Ya know, I see these analyses and see people talking about certain things, and hell, even see an interesting screenshot or gif and I wish I was watching that show; the intriguing, curiosity sparking one. All I'm getting is bored and moderately irritated. I'll give it one more episode because I'm apparently too generous with my free time, but I'm not optimistic. a kitten fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jan 14, 2015 |

Takemiya Jin is an out lesbian who writes pretty good yuri stories too. This show is boring me enough that I think I'm done with it.

But, like how much of a thing is class-s stuff now? Just grabbing a sample of yuri from the past few years* they end with exchanging rings, or the idea that even if Japan doesn't allow same-sex marriage other places do, sometimes there's sex, sometimes not, but in all the cases they are actually for-real in romantic love with each other. Yuri, at least in manga has already moved past the chaste and or doomed stylings of its beginnings. I'm actually having a hard time thinking of anything modern that dooms the couple or punishes them in any way. Sometimes the characters encounter actual homophobia, but i think that's a different idea than the narrative somehow condemning it. There's still a huge disconnect between actual queer identity and yuri a lot (maybe most?) of the time, but they're not as far aparts as...oh i dunno Marimite. In no particular order: Sasameki Koto, Girl Friends, Kisses Sighs and Cherryblossom Pink, Chatting at the Amber Teahouse, Octave, Aoi Hana. More that i'm forgetting.

Eh, I wouldn't call Madoka a yuri series, while I agree there's subtext (or text!) it's far from the focus of the story it's telling. No one's tentative romances straight or gay are likely to end well in a story of a faustian bargain involving child soldiers. I never got the impression that the narrative is somehow punishing anyone for falling in love with their own gender. In any case it's not that class s and tragic chaste romances aren't worth taking a critical look at even now; i think it's mostly me thinking that Ikuhara busting in a going "see, you can show girls falling in passionate, sexual love without getting punished for it, and it won't be the end of the world'."  and a bunch of yuri writers and fans all going "we know!"

Oh huh, Funi changed Kumalia to Kumaria in episode 11, wonder if they retroactively changed it too?

That sure was a show.   Yes_Cantaloupe posted:Finally was in a mood to finish this show, so I did. I liked it overall. Definitely a weaker Ikuhara, though. Others have done a fine job discussing its strengths and weaknesses, so I'll abstain (I'm bad at expressing my thoughts on fiction anyway). Took the words right out of my mouth. a kitten fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Apr 13, 2015 |
