Morien- I know, right @[email protected]? I remember when BL started really appearing on shelves more frequently, which magnified the lack of story-driven yuri. Hopefully yuri can catch up xD. I think it'll do well, as BL really has a following, and there's gotta be just as many people who enjoy the other side, and of course those of us who love both.

I love Shojo-ai. I do hope that yuri can catch up to yaoi, but I'm not into the terribly smutty stuff all the time. I like the sweeter, softer stories, especially for girl's love.

Also, it wouldn't be girl's love if a guy was included. >>; (Just saying that to the guy on the first page that mentioned that there were no guys in it).

I love Yamato x Kouya from Loveless.

I also am a fan of video game girl pairings, like Nel x Clair from Star Ocean, but my favorite girl x girl pairing from anything is Fuu x Olette from Kingdom Hearts 2.

I also read a lot of girl's love stories that are made by artists on other sites, not anyone that is published. For me, those are always the best. They are sweeter and don't appeal to public demand of panty shots and guys walking in on girls...it's purely about two girls and their love written from someone like me who doesn't get paid for it. ^^;

i dont mind yuri... and im not as much as of a yaoi fan as i use to be, but itz oki. im watching this anime, that isnt exactly yuri, butz itz kinda hintin. tehrez three seasonz, and therez a lot of buttkickin! :P the third season is comin to a close with one episode left to sub by the fansubbin group named yesy. the animez called Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, not sure if anyone have heard or watched it before. the first season is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha), the second season is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's) while the third season is Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS). If anyone likez it, i would love to have a fan to discuss it with ^w^

it depends what the anime is about like if its an anime that would intrest me id like it but think something was a bit strange about it

I love Yuri and Shoujo-ai. I have all these anime shows I have to watch, that others have told me were good.

• @Ruriko-chan: I've always wanted to watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and it's sequels, but I've never managed to find it anywhere, online or in stores...
  
  Is it licensed, does anyone know?

I have trouble finding good yuri works, unfortunately. But now I have some names to search for, so thanks!

I don't like it. I don't HATE it. I just don't like it.

It's that fact, there isn't boys in the anime. XD

if it is not incredible boring to me
its tough for me to like Yuri.

it can get as about as cheesy as Hetero Shoujo.
freaking bubbles and flowers and blushing, that just goes on and on. and you want to stab something.
badly done meetings of the girls, breast grabbing, which seems to be the focus for half the series. bleh

it greatly depends on what it is.
i guess i am just picky like that

well i am all the way yaoi lover but recently i found a yuri/shoujo-ai that really caught my eye because the storyline looks so sad

the explicit stuff kinda scares me but its nothing new really with the whole yaoi thing

so yeah i aint one of these people that hates it and does everything in their power to insult it but it ain't particularly my cup of tea

like shoujo-ai no so much yuri in other words

i've never actually read many. i've read one which was called Blue, but for some reason, i have no desire to read Yuri. now Yaoi is a different story.

in my mind, Yuri just seems cheesy and just about blushing girls and i'm like 'get real!'(basing this off of the one Yuri i did read) and Yaoi is just more humor, and gets the storyline across more fluidly, unlike the Yuri that has to make the story a complicated mess of nothing.

*again, the above statements are made based on the reading of one Yuri book and tons of Yaoi.


edit: is Revolutionary Girl Utena considered Yuri? i've never read it, but was curious

I would'nt say i like it and I would'nt say i dont like i respect it mainly for the story. Alot of my friends like yaoi or yuri but I just respect it for the story as I've recently read a small past of a yaoi lol

the basic form of yaoi is "no story, no plot, no climax" yada yada.

so when someone says they dislike Yaoi (aka) Fictional Homosexual males stories. they get bashed at being a "homophobe" which is just stupid. since a lot of gay men dont like yaoi either.

shounen-ai and shoujo-ai.
the stories are a bit more focused. but can at times be childish. in a sense of the whole OMG I"M BLUSHING TEE HEE.

yaoi and yuri.
drama after drama, which is why i am so picky about it. then they try to be serious and its laughable.


Opinion/
as for Utena. i wouldnt even call it a shoujo-ai or yuri. the focus wasnt about the girls trying to fall in love. it was about both growing up and protecting each other. no doubt there is love. but it didnt feel that it was the main purpose of the show.
the MOVIE i would say yes. the series. i have to say no.

I love yuri and yaoi not really sure why but it just appels to me.

While I don't mind homosexuals in real life I'd rather read about straight people...but I guess if I were to choose between yuri and yaoi I'd rather choose yuri.

Yep Yep I like yuri to pratic it well read about it I like yaoi also thats why I like Loveless.

I like both Yuri and Yaoi. I usually like fanbased pairings but none the less, I can see yuri potential in most animes. I think that's why I like some of them so much.

I've considered getting into Yuri. I'm not sure though, Het pairings are usually more my thing.

I like yuri just fine, but I'm more of a Yaoi fan :)

I'm not a big fan, but I accept it. I would read a book with yuri inuendos.

Sure, why not? I like anything. I prefer the SHoujo-ai (just like Shonen-ai) and things without sex.

I haven't seen anything with Yuri in it yet. I know there are some anime out there like that...but I'm a little more with Shonen-ai and Yaoi.






Good Night everyone!!!

I treid reading one before it was called Red Hen. But i couldent read the whole thing i think i got bord or something...

The best yuri manga I read was "Chirality" It was by Satoshi Urushihara...the best artist ever =P well one of them. lol

I liked Haru Yo Koi..... I found it on Mangafox. It's one of only a couple that I have read, but other then the explicit parts (lots of girl on girl, not really my thing.... I have a fiance and I'm a mommy) the story line is really engaging. It's about two girl's struggle with discovering their sexuality, and while one discovers she really is a lesbian the other falls in love with her friend's (ex-girlfriend.... the other main character) brother. Who has a girlfriend. And also, the girl in love with the brother has a guy who's massively in love with her.

A ways into the story it kind of all turns into your typical graphic shoujo, though, because it focuses more on the straight girl. But I really like the series.
