So, this is my fist time watching an anime from this director, and wow. Please be honest, is this porn?

No because soft core isn't real porn, it's just a waste of time :colbert:

Having only seen this and like the first 4 pages of the KlK thread I have a question: Is every bad anime thread here just sad nerds ineffectively trying to burn one another? Because Captain Failcon you're trying way too hard in a thread about lesbian murder bears.

Most yuri is made and read by women. I guess lesbians dehumanize themselves.

Makes you think, don't it?

anyway my problem with penguindrum is that it sucks

or to be more accurate: utena used its metaphors and symbolism and motifs and whatever other fancy words you wanna add in there to advance the story and characters. you thought about a bit of symbolism and figured out a thing. that's how symbolism is supposed to work. they were obvious enough to be easily figured out but well-used enough to be worthy of thought.

penguindrum used its metaphors and symbolism to advance the metaphors and symbolism. there's no meat, no neat revelations hidden beneath the surface, just more impenetrable layers of bullshit. it's got half the actual substance of utena and ten times the nonsense cloaking it.

im not one of those people who thinks utena is the deepest anime ever made, but that's exactly my point - it wasn't trying to be. it was using those things, but it was using them for a reason, not because ikuhara was masturbating furiously over twin peaks reruns and sailor moon yuri doujins.

Basically we should all just go back to rewatching Eureka Seven and if you MUST experience Yurikuma just pretend Talho and the other adult lady might kiss later after Holland fucks up AGAIN.

gidget? isnt she like 16

No the other adult. The one that's not the doctor. The LFO Pilot that's married(?) to Matthieu.

EDIT: Hilda! That's her name.

People just assume the demographic for schoolgirl lesbians is "fat hairy virgins" but, for instance, the readership for Yuri Hime is 70% female and they serialize moe series like Yuru Yuri.
I'm male so I just try to be open-minded about everything. If Akiko Morishima thinks portraying sexuality is an important part of fleshing out the relationship between two girls, I want to respect that. Then on the other hand you have mangaka like Aoki Ume, who writes her stories as "so subtext they could possibly be just friends". I think that is also yuri.

Makes you think, don't it?
