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.
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...
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. :/
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.
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.
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... 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
~
thanks again!
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? 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!
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 ) 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...
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).

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

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

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*
