It’s that time again. As always picks may change based on story progression and mood.
Picks based on these anime charts:
MUST WATCH
Yuri is My Job: One of the Marvy Six, aka most anticipated Yuri anime of 20-Gay-Three (The 20-Gay-Teen sequel). This one stars Hime, a heroine who earned the admiration of many for her prim and proper manner. One day she slips up but is determined to maintain her pristine image. To do that she joined a pretty much Yuri role play cafe. While working there she meets the top star and starts feeling things. However, things take a crazy turn when the hot babe’s response wasn’t at all what Hime expected. Gay shenanigans to follow.
I thought this was going to be a comedy like Yuru Yuri but it’s actually more of a drama. Noted. Still mega hyped.
Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Part 2 and Birdie Wing Part 2: All I want from these two shows is for them to do the right thing by the end. Don’t care how they get there. Just GIVE ME WHAT I WANT! Max Lily Power!
Kizuna no Allele: One would think an idol anime set in Kizuna Ai’s universe would feature the VTuber pioneer (or the most influential) in an important role but instead it stars cuties inspired by her. That’s fine. Maybe she pops up at some point. In any case longtime fans of mine know who I have my eyes on.
World Dai Star: Another Stage/Theatre Girls anime. BRING IT!
Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Season 2: Give me more fluffy wuffy soft Yuri goodness and straightforward stories with certain people thinking too hard and ranting about their simplicity. Oh and lots of bears and hopefully more excuses for our heroine to show off her sexy body inside the suit.
In OVAs there will be bonus Nijiyon episodes, an Azur Lane two-part OVA starring Queen Elizabeth and friends, another Neptunia OVA and lastly a three part Uma Musume OVA serving as an appetizer for the highly anticipated third season of the Gay Horsies.
Curiosities
The Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls: U149 (Under 149 cm): Pretty much the “Junior Division” of the Cinderella Girls brand. This being an Idolm@ster anime OF COURSE the Producer is male. Just keep the focus on the girls and we’re good. Won’t cover this one weekly but should something noteworthy happen I’ll probably bring it up.
Otaku Elf: Dunno what to expect from this one. Hardworking miko and an elf goddess who would rather be a shut-in nerd than do godlike stuff.
Alice Gear Aegis Expansion: Looks like another 7/10 mecha musume show based on a mobile game. I’m excited to see the main human girl though.
Tokyo Mew Mew New Part 2: Similar to Birdie Wing and Gundam Girls I hope this remake does the right thing, as in does THEM justice. Part 1 gave me hope as they’re treating THEIR story well so far. Fingers crossed they don’t disappoint me.
That about does it. There are other shows I’ll check out but those I’ll discuss with my closest homies.
Oh Yuri is my Job is a drama

All of your must watches are pretty much all mine too so far. We already know Spring is about to be a Yuri festival, so I’m expecting good things. The curiosities are all intriguing, so we’ll see. Regardless, Spring definitely has a lot of good potential!

I’m looking forward to Birdie Wing 2 & Witch From Mercury 2. Also hype for the adaptation of Yuri Is My Job. I’ve got the manga but haven’t got the time to read it yet. Yet to even finish IdolM@ster Cinderella Girls, let alone IdolM@ster. Will take a look at this new addition to the franchise. As for the rest, I’ll see what I can do about finding the right time to watch them.

Returning goodies:
– Birdie Wing. Let us golf again.
– Gundam. Return of the fiancees.
– Bear bear bear bear. Hoping for yuri that isn’t YunaxFina.
Exploding onto the scene:
– Konosuba explosion. I will explode with joy watching this.
– Yuri is my job. For me, yuri is my life.
– Otaku Elf. This is the life.
Probably maybe:
AIdols. I have not really followed that scene.
Stage: Could be good.
Idolmaster: Azur Lane Submarines. The franchise is usually too many characters for me.
Wonderland Gear. Probably wouldn’t be the worst mobile game adaptation I’ve watched.

More or less my list looks similar.
With so many shows next season I really can’t afford to fall behind.

Probably this season will be a busy one, but looking forward to Watashi no Yuri wa Oshigoto Desu, Birdie Wing, Edomae Elf (although I probably won’t cover it),and more as shared in my season preview I posted recently. I guess the other seasons will have a lot more to cover than Winter, which is always seems to be the case.
Should be a fun season.

Does Konosuba count as a Yuri anime or not?

Don’t know yet. Need more episodes to find out.

it’s interesting. I saw a blog that considers both Konosuba and spy classroom as yuri… but i guess it depends on one’s subjective criterions!

Probably one scene or a side-pair. Haven’t seen Spy Classroom so I can’t comment.

Thanks for the feedback Sir! If you want to check out the source in which i’ve seen this classification, it’s The Yuri Times, although i think you might be familiar with it already…
