I'm assuming from your avatar you mean the clamp series and not the series about OLs?

http://bwys.net/ did some scanlations of them (since I'm assuming you don't live in the US and can't get the english publication).

Hmm, right, but still... it's better than the one girl remaining with an unrequited love, as most lesbian characters in animes do.

Yeah, He Is My Master wasn't actually entertaining until that girl (I think her name is Anna) decided that she was a lesbian... and I still don't find all the other crap amusing, but... that girl is cute, so... I somehow endure everything else.

And I don't see the Noir thing at all either, I have no clue where people got that idea from, it's quite a stretch.

f

somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8"... hooray for being quasi-tall!

read through recent threads with the same topic first... :(

ah, awesome, thanks for letting us know~ so we can point other people to this when they complain about the same problems :)

Quote by FallingAwakeJust curious, but what series would you consider 'shoujo-ai'?

Uh, not much? SKU, Marimite, and Onii-sama are the only ones that I can think of as "legitimate" shoujo-ai animes. Well, and I guess Kannazuki counts since, even though I didn't finish it, like a million people told me that at the end, the girls DO in fact end up together. Damn. Wish I had finished it. But I couldn't take all the mecha & heterosexual crap for more than a few episodes. :p

Actually He Is My Master has some shoujo-ai in it. That's one of my "series I like despite myself"... *sigh* Full of horrible fanservice. But somehow still cute...

f

Ditto~ when I right-click, "Open in a new window" I get a 404 for the image/wallpaper.

Sigs don't work but icons do... must be on different servers or something... o_O

f

Am I the only one of the opinion than crap like A!MG and Love Hina should be banned in the US? Or rather, just stop being made in general? o_O

I mean, obviously it's moronic, and that would never happen so this is a pointless argument, but come on... I'm sick of all this fanservicey shounen crap being licensed.

The last thing we need is to further delude nerdy fanboys into thinking that some gorgeous harmen of women is just waiting somewhere to simultaneously throw themselves at him. Gross.

Quote by FallingAwakeI dont know if I would consider Yamibou a shoujo-ai anime. It's got shoujo-ai and non explicit yuri in it, but that's minimal. It's just one girl pining away and searching for one girl most of the time. Just classifying it at shoujo-ai seems weird to me. But that whole series was weird, and yeah.

I know, I couldn't even finish that one cause it seemed so fan-servicey and the only fansubbed version I could find had *horrible* subs... I couldn't make ANY sense of the plot. :/

f

Quote by FallingAwakeYikes, I just looked at the list and some of them are hentai titles with yuri in them.

Uh, yeah, like I said... stuff I haven't watched. XD Generally I assume "yuri" will just be hentai that I wouldn't be at all interested in, since the target audience is always men. Gross.

f

Quote by NiGHTSChaoI wish I knew of a Yuri anime

I'm... assuming you mean yuri, not shoujo-ai, right? Anime Database has a few listed under the yuri genre, at http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=animelist&genid=36

But I haven't watched any of them, so I can't tell you whether or not they're good... *cough*

f

Quote by FallingAwakeWow cool. I'm glad you're spreading the love of yuri around. I love lililicious! <---that's hard to spell.

Also hard to say... XD I didn't even know how until I met up with everyone at Onna and found out that it's "lily-licious" (which makes so much sense now that I think about it... yuri... lily... duh... *idiot*)

Quote by FallingAwakeWell Mai HiME I wouldn't recommend personally for shoujo-ai, but that's what's hot now. Plus it's argued that there's a very canon couple in there. It's Shizuru and Natsuki. Is it done for the fan-service? It's entirely possible. Oh, there's ROD TV. I recommend that for shoujo-ai. It could really go either way with that series though. But I see it :)

Ahh, okay, that's what I figured. But if there's a "very canon" couple in there, maybe I'll save it for when I'm desperate...

And I've been keeping up with Read or Dream, but I didn't know if Read or Die had any sapphic implications in it, will probably try that before Mai HiME then XD~ thanks again!

f

Quote by FallingAwakeFor manga, I would go to Lililicious. They scanlate yuri manga, doujin, and magazine shorts.

Haha... actually I'm an editor for lili so I'm familiar with all of our projects. And yes, Erica and the rest of us lili girls were there and... uh... dyking up the place? XD But it seemed like everyone else was there for shoujocon. (There were only about ten of us, so...)

But a lot of people showed up to our panel (I think it was called "Yaoi, Yuri, and Shounen-ai for the Straight Guy") so... perhaps we spread some knowledge.

Anyway, yeah, I didn't know that Mai HiME was at all sapphic, I've heard of it but just assumed it was more fan-servicey shounen. Will definitely check it out, thank you! :)

f

After getting back from Onna, I'm wondering where the hell the lesbians are. In my panels, hardly anyone even knew what Marimite was... (then again, someone also asked us what "shoujo" means, so maybe that's not saying much).

Anyway, do you have any suggestions for random series (preferably manga, but I'll watch anime just for this XD) with lesbians in them? I'm sure there are plenty of series with side characters that are, but I just haven't heard of them...

Thanks~
