My blog has been up and running since March 2008 and since then, I have made many friends who have passed to me countless recommendations! I’ve created this page so that both you and me can keep track of things! How’s that? I honestly take every recommendation quite seriously.
Note: Seriously does not mean I will necessary watch/read your recommendation straight away! LOL If some fancy yuri comes along, I’ll probably drop what I’m doing and run to it like mad! hahaha
Ok – so here’s my list so far – the ones watched/read in italics:
Krigo
- Vampire Knight – really enjoyed this series though I’m now a bit ‘vampired out’! LOL (Just read book 1 of the Twilight series…). Anyway, I was drawn by the tension between Zero and Yuuki – it’s not quite love but I just couldn’t stop watching!! Yui Horie is great! Oh and I prefer Zero over Kaname-senpai!!
- True Tears – the story sounds very touching…need to see this…
- Ichigo Mashimaro & OVA – LOVE IT!
- Air
- Kannon
- Clannad
- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
- Welcome to the NHK
- Minami-ke
- H2O Footprints in the Sand
- Spice & Wolf – the art here looks very good and a fresh storyline
- Special A – this has Hitomi!! Woohoo!
- The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (fiction)
Person A
- Cotton (manga) ~ this one doesn’t really have any significant WOW moments but it was overall a pleasant read. I liked the art and the story was simple. Wouldn’t have mind the yuri to have gone a tad further… =P
Tessa
- ROD the anime ~ only a sprinkle of yuri…
- Gakuen Alice! ~ voices of Yumi and Touko! YAY!
- Bamboo Blade ~ there’s Megumi!!
- Pieta (manga) ~ loved it loved it loved it!!! I can’t rave about it more!!! My post!
- Aoi no Hana ~ the art is good and has a very gentle atmosphere to it. A must read!! Waiting for next volume!!
- Hanjuku Joshi ~ this one is ecchi…
- Gokujou Drops ~ strange but it kind of reminds me vaguely of Yumi and Sachiko! That’s SO wrong!! Another ecchi one.
- Azumanga Daioh
- Buzzer Beat – Jdrama – supposedly it’s Long Vacation + basketball?? Hmm…
Quiras
- Kuchibiru Tameiki Sakurairo (manga) by Milk Morinaga – LOVED the Nana & Hitomi one-shots!
adaywithoutme
- Hourou Musuko (manga) from the author of Sweet Blue Flowers
SapphiredEclipse
- Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight = Ichigo Mashimaro + Lucky Star = MUST SEE!
- Lucky Star – must watch episode 7 – pun on Marimite!
- Strawberry Shake Sweet (manga) – have read volume 1! It’s not bad but the girl is a bit whacky!! haha Still enjoyable!
- Maka Maka – I tried a chapter or two and it wasn’t my thing…
- Mnemosyne – this was a really creative/fresh anime but I couldn’t really take the gore/torture parts. I would have loved it otherwise! There’s Mamiko Noto and Rie Kugimiya as lead seiyuu!
- Penguine Musume Heart – high school girls, one crazy otaku girl, yuri, a bit of fan service…
- Koihime Musou
- Hyakko
astrogrrl
- Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (anime) – some nice moments but overall only so so for me… =(
Aida
- Celeb to Binbo Taro (jdrama) – romantic comedy!
dana6133
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu
- Claymore (manga) – but has no yuri
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Aria
- Skip Beat
- Bride of the Water God
Hemisphere
- Chatting at the Amber Teahouse (manga) – currently reading…it’s not addictive but very pleasant to read. Warning: It’s VERY cute!!!
Thingle
- ICE
- Mouryou no Hako
Hashi
- Hourou Musuko ~ from the author of Aoi Hana
- Dounika Naru Hibi (Happy-Go-Lucky Days) ~ also from the same author

- Monster
- Samurai Champloo
- Blood+
- Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)
- Berserk ~ warning!! 18+!! There’s gore, sex, violence!!
- Bleach

- Satan666
Erin
- A WHOLE heap of yuri recommendations!!
Solangge28
- Mendol-Ikemen Idol
- Shangri-la – no yuri but apparently an enjoyable action flick!!
- Love My Life (jmovie) ~ we had a movie night over this one and LOVED it!! Not all that original but it was sufficiently entertaining for me to recommend. Btw, DEFINITELY watch it ALL the way to the end…hehehe otherwise you’re missing out BIG time. ::wasn’t me look::
- Kamikaze Girls (jmovie) ~ this one had Kyoko Fukada in it who I think is pretty. The movie itself is a bit whacky and she dresses up in lolita style!? I watched this a few years a go so my memory is a bit vague. It’s only so so. I remember leaving the cinema feeling not very satisfied. :(
- Black Rock Shooter (OVA) ~ very funky looking anime!! It’s looks very cool but I didn’t really get it… -_-“
Onyx Crescent / Akira / Azu~nyan Panda
- K-ON! ~ absolutely insane!!! Ridiculously funny!! MUST WATCH!!! School comedy with sprinkles of yuri!!! PERFECT!!
- Ga Rei Zero
- Code Geass
Hynavian
- Manga no Tsukurikata ~ two mangakas still in high school – both girls and one falls for other??! Sounds like it’s worth checking out!! =)
- Konohana Link ~ from the same mangaka as Shoujo Sect.
Ari
- Weise Frau – I’ve only read the three chapters available at Tranquil Spring. Too early to really make a comment. Story seems to be about a girl who is a novice witch and along with the other senior witches, have the task of destroying church knights. Brief shadows of yuri but not much. Will keep reading…
- Octave ~ currently following but disappointed. Despite being a manga on two adult girls, one is really becoming a pain!!! Grow up!!! On the otherhand, Setsuko is pretty cool!!!! I like her! The manga is still going, currently scanlated by Tranquil Spring.
- Amanchu ~ by Amano Kozue who wrote Aria.
Nerei / k1y0
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter (mature) ~ scanlated by Lililicious ~ I’m not the biggest fan on the art but there’s a pretty damn good mix of stories on the two couples from how they first met to… ^_^ There’s also some interesting interaction between the two couples and side stories. I like how the softer two have moments of “wearing the pants” in the relationship!! hehe Some a bit silly/funny but others a little touching. It’s a good assortment!
- Hotaru no Mori E (non-yuri manga)
- Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de ~ we get to see Shizuka chasing after a girl!!! hahaha How can I not watch it?? hehe
- Hayate no Gotoku ~ no yuri but it’s got Rie Kugimiya, Hitomi, Kana Ueda and Shizuka Ito!?! How can I NOT watch??? (again) haha
- Mouryou no Hako
- Husky x Medley (manga) ~ a yuri manga based on a true story!! How cool is that!?! It’s a MUST read!!!! More fangirling here…
- Oniyuri-san and Himeyuri-san oneshot ~ so worth my time!! I even posted about it!!
shijima
- Baba Yaga
- Mizuro Cinema ~ by Hiyori Otsu
hh
- Bakuretsu Tenshi (aka Burst Angels) ~ apparently very similar to Canaan. Guess that means I’ll just have to watch it. ^_^
passingthrough
- Yokohama Kadaishi Kikou (manga)
TsundereHunter
- Yuru Yuri (manga)
Twilight

Here are a couple more for you.
Mnemosyne -although I didn’t care for all the gory stuff..lots of yuri, I liked the strength and passion of the main characters, and the storyline was quite interesting. It’s not very long…6 episodes OVAs I believe.
Penguin Musume Heart- high school girls, one crazy otaku girl, yuri, a bit of fan service…what’s not to like. I really hope they continue with this one. It’s face paced and funny.
Koihime Musou – I recommended this to you before, but you mentioned something about being picky about Chinese incorporation. I still enjoyed it.
January 20, 2009 at 3:33 PM

Thanks! I’ll add them to my list minus Mnemosyne! I’ve actually already watched this one. You’ll find my review under the ‘Review’ tag. THere were many elements that I liked but overall I was put off because of the gore. I would have LOVED it if only they cut or toned down the gory/torture bits. But I liked the chemistry between Rin and Mimi!!

A dozing off Akira
… I just stayed up to 4:16 am… (which is kinda creepy, ‘cuz that’s my birthday…) but anyways, I stayed up so … early? because I was watching this anime that has forever changed my taste in anime….
Ga Rei Zero.
I would like to say I prefer the anime, because… it’s just so… so… *indescribable.*
But I haven’t read the manga, so … yeah.
Anyways, no spoilers or summaries. Just read it without knowing anything.
That’s what the watchers usually say, and it explains everything in detail as you get farther and farther into this beautiful anime. But the only thing I can tell you is that it’s kinda confusing at first, but you’ll understand it quickly. Oh yeah, it has gore and blood spluttering…. not always, but it usually has a good reason why. So, I’d REALLY REALLY recommend it!!!!! Read the manga or the anime, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY recommend it! You can kill me if you don’t like it! I put my life in “Ga Rei Zero”‘s ….. story. I think… it’s kinda risky.
Well, anyways, I’d like to sleep now, so, good night!
xD

LOL Akira!! That’s a funny way of recommending an anime!?! AHAHAHAHA Don’t worry!! I’ve been meaning to watch it!! I’ll definitely note it down!! Thanks! Please let me know if you spot anything else worth watching!! Preferably with sprinkles of shoujo-ai/yuri! =)
April 6, 2009 at 2:02 AM
Akira
WELL, I’D LOVE TO GIVE YOU *MORE DETAILS* (Beware! “More details” actually means the entire story and plot!) But it wouldn’t be fun that way. Plus, I’m PRETTY sure you’ll come to like it…. at least. BUT!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Yeah… so anyways,
I’m glad you’re going to watch it!

hehe okay Akira!! Fine!! You’re not spilling the beans!! Haha I’ll write a post once I watch it!! :)

Solangge28
I got a good JDorama!
Mendol-Ikemen Idol – about 3 girls who wants to become idols but the only thing to become famous is that they have to dress up as boys! It has yuri, well at least I think, there is girl love in there! It’s funny too! The opening and Persona’s (the girls/boy idols) songs are pretty good! Has 12 episodes, each about 25 minutes.
It’s pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot!
April 18, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Sleepy
Oh YES! Solangge28! Tessa had recommended this before too!! Will mark it down!! I need to watch this one!! Thanks!
May 2, 2009 at 2:10 PM
Onyx Crescent
Yeah, I looked at your list and decided to watch Mendol-Ikemen Idol. xDD, I just love Nami (Kai) xDDDDDDDDDD
Anyways,
I wanted to recommend K-ON! K-ON! is hella funny. It’s new, so there’s only a few episodes released. My favorite character is Mio, fyi. xD, she’s super MOE! Though I hope there will be yuri, I’m pretty sure it won’t be the main thing. At least not like SP or anything. T__T I need to watch some good yuri….. I’ve finished most of the good ones… (that I know of…)
Well, anyways,
over and out,
Akira
May 3, 2009 at 1:01 AM

K-ON! That was mentioned to me before but I remember not being overly keen because of the moe-ness! Never mind – I’ll make a note of it!
WHAT? You’ve already watched Mendol-Ikemen?!? I haven’t even had time to get hold of a copy!?!?! Aaaaaah!!!
Just got back from hols – more activity back on my blog!!! ^_^
May 3, 2009 at 10:16 AM
Onyx Crescent
Yeah, but I just love Mio. xD, she’s like, pretty much the definition of moe. A bit of tsundere…
But.. anyways, yeah, Mendol-Ikemen Idol was funny!
http://www.mysoju.com/mendolikemen-idol/
It’s got all the eps. xD Yeah, a bit of yuri, but enough for me. lol….
(Usually, even a heap of yuri doesn’t satisfy me… maybe cuz it was a j-drama, yuri wasn’t as needed)
________________________
So, random moment here:
OMFG…. I did NOT know that Mamiko Noto was the seiyuu for Rin in InuYasha and Nodoka Miyazaki in Negima?! This has made an impact on me. I HAVE WAYYYY MORE RESPECT FOR HER! (Especially cuz she’s Shimako in Marimite. xDD)
Grinning like an evil cat, (is there such a thing?)

*scratches head*
Perhaps… I am on a permanent high…. *ding! Lightbulb flashes above head* I AM! *sings to the world*
Okay, after that sudden “ding!” , I’ve decided I wanted to recommend (again) yet another anime. Well, this time it’s different. I finally found a yuri that … you might or might not have read!!! *super happy* It’s called Blue Drops, go check here for brief summary: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8265 or just go to http://www.mangafox.com/manga/blue_drop_tenshi_no_bokura/?no_warning=1
Well, actually, there’s supposedly like, 3 different series of this Blue Drop.. and each one really has nothing to do with each other… except most are yuri and they all have like, aliens. I actually don’t like aliens… due to a bad horror movie, but hey, these aliens are like, actually really hot females! xDDD
Here’s the Blue drop I like: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/blue_drop/
Well, that’s all…. BTW!! They’re all like, supa 18+!!!
Believe me! I’m not really supposed to read these, but screw that. =_= I’m just going with MY flow.
I need to cool down before I go all out on a realllllllllllllllyyyyy long rant.
So, just drop by @ mangafox.com to check out Blue Drops.
-Akira
OMFG, I looked up at the schedule thingy and was all like:
“@#$@%#$@!!!!! Saki 5 is out???? WHAT????”
then I was screaming my guts out (is that possible?) when I saw that May 8th is the last Candy Boy ep.
*sniffle sniffle…*
Imma go cry now.
(Growls inwardly…. May needs to go by faster….. I need chapter 22 of Girl Friends soon…. before I chew my own head off…..)
Well,

Hey Akira!! I’ve actually watched this one before and even wrote a review here!! https://yasashiisekai.wordpress.com/2008/10/31/anime-blue-drop-i-finished/
All my reviews are categorised under ‘review’ so it’s not very obvious. Maybe I should change the layout…it’s not the first time this has happened… hmm…
As for the manga, I’ve seen the first link and gave up! It was CRAP!! Ugh storyline too. The other one that you liked was much better. But still, I’m not a fan of alien stories. But check out the anime!! It’s worth watching!
You HAVE to watch Saki episode 5!!! It’s HILARIOUS!!! I’m going to write a post very shortly…hehe
May 6, 2009 at 10:51 AM

WHAT????!!!!??
There was an anime????????!!! Lol……. =_= I feel shunning myself into a corner. But whatever, I’m off to watch Saki 5.
Be back after WATCHING Saki. xDDDDDDDDD
Oh, I just started an addiction to mahjong. But that’s okay. My grandma’s a pro. xDD (well, a pro to me anyways. xD)

OMFG! Kung PAO chicken!!!!! ROFL….. I feel bad for Suga-kun… (the first, but certainly won’t be the last!) Too bad he wasn’t born female. xDDDDDDD
This ep was certainly cute, and it explains more than the manga did. I wanna see a shooting star!!! (random) lolololloloolololol. TACOS!
Dies of ROFL.
My dying wish is…. for you record all of the saki eps (and K-ON!, mind you… and possibly future seasons of Marimite) and review them all, and …. read them out to my grave. Bit creepy. =_= xD
I can’t die now!

Aww.. shucks. They’re only “a bit” concerning? *furrows eyebrows* I think I should stop takin’ the meds altogether. xD
Jk. But yeah, I’m on a high right now… but some how managing my stupid science homework. Apparently, my teacher LOVES torturing little kids. lol.
(Random thought)
I have this wish…. to be able to go to an all girls school!
Me and my mom were talkin’ about it one day.
-Eatin’ dinner-
Me: Mom, I wanna go to an all girls school!
*Mom and Dad turn and stare.*
Mom: Why?
Me: *looks at her with a disbelieving look* CUZ IT’S COOL, DUH!
Dad: ….o-okaaaaayyy~~
Mom: I don’t think it’s that cool….
Me: Whatcha talkin’ about? Well, you’ve never been to one—– *gets cut off*
Mom: Actually… I did. And it was weird.
Me: *hella excited* Reeeeaallly?????? TELL ME MORE!!
Mom: Well…. *flashback mode* It was weird because in the all girls school, there was only 3 types of girls, really.
Me: Yeah… go on!!
Mom:
1st type: Girls who are boy deprived….
2nd type: Girls who are asexual…
3rd type: Girls who are lesbian.
Me: Wao~~~ So, tell me about it.
Mom: About what?
Me: Hmmm…. how about what kind of people went after you.
Mom: Hmm…. well, lots of people were after me… *dreamy*
*I scoff at this. Sorry mom. That just sounds like dang braggin’. And yes, I’m freaking a otaku that has no life, but just enjoys yuri everyday. xD*
Me: Well, what kinda of ppl?
Mom: Well, at school or outside of school?
Me: *splurts milk out* IN SCHOOL????? Isn’t YOUR SCHOOL A FREAKIN’ ALL GIRL SCHOOL??
Mom: Yeah, so?
Me: WHAT???? Did you.. erm….. uh…. become “friends” wit dem?
Mom: No. =_= Or you wouldn’t be here.
Me: Oh. x____x
LOL, a bit of an insider’s info on my mom’s… er… “love” life. =_= I really don’t need to know any more than this though.
-After this talk-
*writing in my diary*
DEAR DIARY,
wtf!!! This is BIG SHOCKIN’ NEWS! (pretends to be Chie from Mai HiME)
MY MOM WAS BEING ASKED OUT BY GIRLS!!!!!?!!!! IT’s BOTH LIKE, WTF, AND LIKE, EW.. (how’d ya like it if ya mom was asked out by girls? Yes, I like yuri, just don’t involve my family. =_=)
*rants*
Well, this is all I’ll give you guys to ponder about.
If ya find this disturbing, then think, how’d I feel if this was my mom?
Believe me, disturbing. Disturbing yes, but just a tad cool. This means either the girls’ got bad taste, or my mom looked hawt. Believe me, I took my mom’s pic in her teens to school, showed my friends, they were all like: “Woah, your cousin’s hawt.” I LMAO’D SOOOO HARD!!!

May 7, 2009 at 3:02 AM
Onyx Crescent
Yeah… my dad was pretty neutral about it though. =_= My mom went to “quite” a school. Yeah, I’m pretty sure there are some all girls’ schools that aren’t like my mom’s. Actually, did I mention the all girls’ school my mom went to was a catholic school? Actually, her primary school (St. Rose of Lima) was also one, but it was co-ed. Thank god my mom didn’t grow up around girls. =_= She also had like, 6 brothers and 3 sisters. xD My grandma would’ve had a hell of a time, if not for my grandparents being so STRICT. xD

I got another one! But it isn’t yuri. It’s called Shangri-La. It’s really good. Love the opening! It does have transgenders of men to women but they are hilarious! I just love Momoko-san!! It’s an action anime. I’m not sure if you like action, but if you do, you’ll probably love this! :)
May 9, 2009 at 1:24 AM

Oooooh Solangge28!! Let me note this one down. I have to admit that I’m not usually an action fan but I’m happy to check out new things. I had a look at the trailer over at youtube! Looks kind of interesting…Momoko-san? I’ll bear that in mind…
May 9, 2009 at 6:17 AM
Solangge28
Yes, Momoko-san is awesome! There is also Miko I think? Forgot the name but he’s (or she xD) also a transgender. He’s cries a lot though and is funny with Momoko-san. I just love them <3 I think you’ll enjoy, if not, then I don’t know, but yea xD

Hey! Just stumbled on your site while looking for yuri wallpapers! I’m always looking for new yuri so you’ve been added to the favs. Have you read Octave? Or Weise Frau? They’re both over for download at Tranquil Springs and I’d recommend them highly -_^
Only just finished series 4 of Marimite and I love the embedded artwork – fab job!
May 18, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Sleepy
Hi Ari!! THanks for adding this to your favourites!! THank YOU!! I have read Octave but it’s not really catching my attention. I like how it’s a story between two mature girls but I don’t like Yukino’s character. On the otherhand, I think Setsuko is pretty cool. I’m just hoping that Yukino’s character matures and become less of a complainer. Weise Frau? *Googles* Ooooh!! Sounds pretty interesting?! OMG?! How come I didn’t know about this?!?! Where have I been all this time?! THanks for recommending this one! Will check it out.
Just finished Marimite 4??? Wasn’t it GREAT?! LOVED IT!! I’m hoping desperately that they’ll treat us with a few OVAs on some of the missing stories….PLEASE!!!

I very much enjoyed this manga “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter” which is a completed project by Lililicious at http://www.lililicious.net/projectDet.php?id=136.
Hyakko is pretty good too.
May 25, 2009 at 6:53 AM
Ari
I’ll admit I’m not greatly impressed with the latest Octave chapters but I do really like Setsuko too… Weise Frau only gets updated once in a blue moon but I’m intrigued by the whole idea and I’m just hoping it’s not all about the kid gothic lolita character.
Not sure if you liked Aria by Amano Kozue but she has a new series out now called ‘Amanchu’ which is very similar and turning out to be just as cute! If you go onto Livejournal there’s an amanchu community with all the mediafire d/l links ~ http://community.livejournal.com/amanchu.
Not sure I want any more Marimite… unless they carry on with Sachiko at uni. She can’t just dissapear like Sei did!
May 25, 2009 at 7:50 AM

Hi Nerei! I’ve actually read some of the stories of this volume but not all. I agree! Some of the stories are quite good but art style falls slightly short of Milk Morinaga’s. I haven’t read Little Red Riding Hood yet but my favourite so far is First Kiss. =) What’s yours?
Hyakko? I’ve heard of that one!! Will note it down!! Thanks!!

I guess I enjoyed the chapter “Her” from the book the most, cuz that was what got me interested in looking for the whole manga. First impressions do matter. Apart from that, I love the ending chapter where things get wrapped up nicely.
Actually, I also like Nanzaki Iku’s works. It has mature contents, though I doubt u mind much with Octave on your reading list.

Did you know Fujieda Miyabi-sensei drew some doujinshi for Marimite? I have the raws on hand, but I can’t understand the japanese! So painful. >_<
Do you take recommendations for non-yuri? If yes, try "Hotaru no Mori E" from the manga of the same name. http://www.mangatraders.com/manga/series/1966

Oh, a little late but a brief self-intro:
A yuri-loving female who also watches tons of various other anime (my ANN list is approaching 1,000 titles). Can’t really remember how I got into yuri initially when all my friends are into yaoi but yeah, that’s how I ended up. Am glad to see that there are more and more yuri titles these days (Candy Boy!) and hope that Sasameki Koto turns out well as an anime! (Aoi Hana as well, but I like Sasameki Koto more.)
May 26, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Sleepy
OMG! Don’t get me started!! It honestly is very exciting for us all in the next two months!!! I mean, both Sasameki Koto and Aoi Hana are both pure yuri animes. Yuri is not a sub-theme but a KEY theme!!!!! And it’s not hentai or ecchi either. I think that makes a HUGE difference. I seriously CANNOT WAIT!!!
As for me, I only got into anime around this time last year. At the time I had been watching the Japanese drama Last Friends (btw, this is a great drama where a girl falls in love with a childhood friend but suffers the angst of not knowing how to handle their friendship) and someone had mentioned Strawberry Panic and Marimite. Surely, you know what happens after that….it all went CRAZY THERE ON!!! hahahaha Since then I’ve watched various anime but I have a BIG soft spot for yuri. ^_^ So that’s basically it!!! hahahaha
May 26, 2009 at 10:02 PM
Nerei
Do you watch AMVs? This is a pretty good AMV of Kannazuki no Miko. [Spoilers beware]
May 26, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Nerei
And oh, you ever watched Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de?
May 26, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Sleepy
Hi Nerei! I don’t generally watch AMVs but on occasion I’d do the usual hunt on Youtube after watching an anime! hahaha This one is pretty good! I like the music too. With Kannazuki no Miko, I quite liked the pair but I HATED the rest of the anime – all the mecha and fighting etc – NOT INTERESTED!!! But the bits with just them two, I quite liked. Particularly when they meet for the first time in episode 1!!! I went all *SQUEAL*!!! hahahahah
Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de? Nope. Is it worth checking out??? haha I just did a quick google – Shinra voiced by Shizuka Ito?? Sounds bloody appropriate!!! hahahaha I’ll note it down on my LONG list. =)
May 26, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Nerei
I love Kannazuki no Miko (ignoring all mecha scenes) as well! I keep re-watching the last 2 eps (ignoring all mecha scenes) just to see Chikane and Himeko together!
Yeah, Shizuka voices Shinra-sama in this one. I thought it was so damn appropriate for her whenever Shinra-sama hugs the other girls in the show. -.-|| I can totally imagine it being Shizuka instead. It’s slightly ecchi though, and a comedy in that it makes references to other anime at times.
May 26, 2009 at 11:40 PM
Sleepy
I’m not generally a huge fan of harem/ecchi anime – mainly because I have such little time, but for Shizuka!!?! I WILL WATCH IT!!! HAHAHAHA
May 26, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Sleepy
Btw, another part of Kannazuki no Miko that I like is the soundtrack!! It’s pretty good!
May 26, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Nerei
Ah, I don’t see it as much of a harem anime. I see it more of comedy and of Shinra-sama trying to get at Miyu >_> (Or it’s just me…)
May 27, 2009 at 12:51 AM
Sleepy
I’ll let you know what I think after I watch it!
May 30, 2009 at 5:12 AM
Miko
Just check some of the recommendation and seem like you don’t have High School Girls/Girl’s High on the list? But doubt that you haven’t watch/read it though.
Its not a new anime/manga nor is it shoujoai/yuri but if you have your yuri goggle on then definitely gonna see some real thing it have fake yuri in it though since its about bunch of girls after all, I finished it years ago and its 9.5 in my rating so if you haven’t check it out yet, you’ll have to watch/read it right away. :>
May 30, 2009 at 7:34 AM
Sleepy
Do you mean this one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_School_Girls If so, then I have watched it. But I wasn’t the biggest fan! I wasn’t a fan of the ecchi-ness but I watched it for the seiyuu. Did you like it THAT much?!? What was it that you liked about it?????
May 30, 2009 at 4:19 PM
Miko
lol, I guess their friendship was awesome to me that’s why I really like it.
And some parody on the start of each episodes. It was funny too. Not really that ecchi in my opinion.
Other than those first few episodes panties showing and stuff which is not anything worst than those other anime like *cough*QB*cough* and such.
Well, our views of the some series have a huge gap I guess. ^^;
May 30, 2009 at 4:22 PM
Sleepy
My memory is a bit vague to be honest! The anime was ok I recall – maybe like a 6? I remember that the anime is a bit old which showed in the animation. But I generally watch anything with Hitomi Nabatame and Mamiko Noto!! hahahaha

as a side note, I think Mamiko is one of the main characters inside, but I dare not try to watch..
June 5, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Sleepy
hhahahah I had the EXACT same thoughts Nerei! The first time i heard about it I got all excited because of the yuri seiyuu names but when I saw the character designs – it was one of those “spurt my drink out if I was drinking” moments!! haha REALLY not my type at aLL!!
LOL I cracked up when I read this comment from the link u posted:
“But then, this pink bunny girl voiced by Kugimiya Rie shows up with hair that molds into hands which cover her boobs, and immediately the show goes to shit”
The character designs are so UGH!!!!! Akira!! STAY AWAY!!!!
June 5, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Nerei
I love the part on kugyu.
“It’s quite a departure and frankly a bit awkward to have Kugimiya Rie voice such a busty character, as 99% of her previous characters have a problem graduating from their training bra. The remaining 1% doesn’t need a bra as they are alchemetically binded to a giant suit of metal armor.”
Try the review on Saki. http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2009/04/06/snapshot-saki-01. I totally ROFL when I read this
“Saki, Saki, Saki, where to begin? First of all – elephant in the room – yes, it’s an anime about mahjong. It’s really not that big of a deal, considering Hikaru no Go made an absolutely black-and-white board game pretty cool, Naruto made something awesome like ninjas farking boring, and Queen’s Blade made something humans are genetically hardwired to stare at into something unbearable to watch”.
June 5, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Onyx Crescent
LMFAO. Too late, just went to read it. Almost died. lololol. It was said in a way that I almost rolled off my chair in laughter!!!! xD
This probably isn’t the worst anime I’ve seen, but probably the random-est. xD
… Echi…
Lol: “I am quite interested in how the fuck the non AT-X stations are planning to censor this.” Quoted.
IT’S HELLA FUNNY.
But definitely not my type. Not only that, I’m a minor that shouldn’t be watching that. LOL.
——————————–

I got a JMovie that’s yuri! It’s called Love My life, you can’t really find it online unless you want to download it. You can find it on youtube.
Here’s the first part. I was lucky to find it here!
Hope you enjoy :)
June 14, 2009 at 1:57 PM

Thanks Solangge28 for the recommendation! I remember seeing this a few years back. I don’t think I watched the full thing – maybe just bits and pieces but I remember I didn’t like it. But my memory is REALLY REALLY vague. Maybe I should check it out again…hmm…

Yokahama Shopping trip (foraging trip?) Journals
A quiet, slow, painfully beautiful elegy for a drowned world –
barely any yuri, but worth the trip.

I’m starting to watch the anime called “Umi Monogatari – Anata ga Itekureta Koto”. It’s like a magical girl anime, it looks good though! Love the music and the art work. And 3 seiyuu that I bet you know! Aki Toyosaki, Minako Kotobuki. and Yui Horie. Minako and Yui are the main characters but I haven’t seen Aki’s appearance yet. It kinda looks like shoujo-ai to me, though Minako’s character got dumped by her boyfriend and so she’s single. Maybe something might happen…fufu… XD
July 18, 2009 at 3:24 AM
Nerei
Yeah, it looks like there might be yuri between the 2 mikos in Umi Monogatari, but I prefer Kannazuki no Miko for that. XD
Magical girls are so not my type.

passingthrough: I’ve updated your recommendation to the list!
Hmm…Umi Monogatari – I remember reading about this one. I wasn’t too keen on the story – can’t exactly remember why but sounds like it’s worth checking out. I don’t mind magical girl anime… :P

Yuri’s more of a subplot but even tho its kinda of a harem anime, I think the Chizuru and Akachan pairing in Seitokai no Ichizon made it worth to check out xD.

Lol that’s a scary big list! Can I recommend some too?
Check Kara no Kyoukai out. There are only 7 movies. It’s just the most visually beautiful anime/movie I’ve ever seen and the plot is awesome aswell. The sound effects, the voicing, everything!
Oh… and guess who does the soundtrack? Yuki Kajiura, the Goddess!

I read it finally!! It’s ok…the olden days back drop was a nice change but overall I wasn’t too wow-ed by the story – especially the ending!!!! X_X I bet you the mangaka is a GUY!!! At least it’s kind of like a happy ending I guess…any more recommendations? Have you read Shitsurakuen?
September 13, 2010 at 1:23 AM
k1y0
No, I haven’t, and I see that it’s still ongoing. These days, I go more for one-shots or short stories since I don’t have enough time to follow on each series, and my concentration is shot to hell whenever I return from work.
Anymore recommendations? Hmm… I did I can do better telling you what series are boring though. <_< Or maybe my expectations are high.
I enjoy "flower flower", but it's not particularly squeeworthy. I read it just for the occasional moments when the icy cold princess smiles. Go for Takahashi Mako's works (eg. Maidens' Cake) if you like bittersweet endings, but I don't think you do.
I would rather you recommend me stuff that I haven't watched from here.

Dropping by to say that Stay Tuned is a good manga. Same author as Chatting at the Amber Teahouse! (I got confused with the characters, but I’m sure it’ll turn out great!)
Well, it has a lot of characters right now, and two mains (Arise and Hinako). They’re both voice actresses for this radio. (haha, even the story they’re telling about is cute!)
Not much can be revealed since there’s only 4 chapters!
I think the author is trying to finish up Chatting at the Amber Teahouse first.
But just wanted to say that it has a nice start.

It doesn’t start out as such, but Mahou Shoujo Madoka is a good series you may want to check out. There may or may not be yuri subtext *maybe my yuri goggles are on a little high* but to me there seems to be something between the two main characters.

Do I really read that much manga? My list seemed to have no end. But once I’ve started it, I must finish it. By the way, my native tongue is not English, so there will be some mistakes here and there.
YURI
It’s quite hard to write a short list. So, instead of titles I’ll recommend mangakas:
– [b]Shimura Takako[/b]: Hourou Musuko, Aoi Hana.
– [b]Morishima Akiko[/b]: Hanjuku Joshi, Peach Taste, Rakuen no Jouken, Ruriiro no Yume, Midsummer Lovers, Slave to Love…
– [b]Otsu Hiyori[/b]: all, I mean ALL her mangas are just… how I put it in English? I love them so much. They are tenderness. Love. Sadness.
– [b]Morinaga Milk[/b]: her work was the first yuri manga I’ve read. “Even if we’re not friends”, it was. What good memories. The best ones are Kuchibiru Tameiki Sakurairo, Chocolate Kiss Kiss, Wishing on the Moon and Girl Friends. She writes lots of hentai too, such as Amai Kuchibiru, Milk Shell (that one was really funny X3), Nikurashii Anata e (this one has non-yuri stories too) and Mare. Right now she’s writing “The Secret Recipe”, it’s somewhat funny, but that’s all.
– [b]Shinonome Mizuo[/b]: Hatsukoi Shimai, Carbonard Crown.
– [b]Yoshitomi Akihito[/b]: whoa, whoa. The stories are so simple and common that it’s really touching. Natsu no Hajimari, Natsu no Ari, Sketch, Suika, Inner Revolution, Evening Rain Feeling, 6 hours and 5 minutes, The secret stream… She wrote Blue Drop series, too.
– [b]Hakamada Mera[/b]: Kono negai ga kanau nara, Yozora no Ouji to Asayake no Hime…
– [b]Kizuki Akira[/b]: Ebisu-san to Hotei-san, Hari to orange. At the end, I wanted more to happen, in both mangas.
– Other titles: Pieta, Octave, Blue, Free Soul, Between the Sheets. Deep stories. Love Slave, Maka-Maka, Mars no Kiss, Honey & Honey.
– [b]Hakodate Youjin Buraichou Himegami[/b]: God, some situations just turned me on, and they weren’t even kissing. So, so lovely.
NON-YURI
They will always have part of my heart.
– [b]Takahashi Rumiko[/b]: Ranma ½ , Urusei Yatsura, Kyoukai no Rinne.
– [b]Arakawa Under the Bridge[/b] (Comedy, Seinen): a freaking funny story. I bet people more crazy and freak doesn’t exist.
– [b]Akumetsu[/b] (Sci-Fi, Seinen)
– [b]Gon[/b] (Adventure, Seinen): a rare manga. It’s about the adventures of the last one of the dinosaurs. Great and powerful. Funny. And it doesn’t have any text, just pictures.
– [b]7 Seeds[/b] (Sci-Fi, Psychological)
– [b]Gokusen[/b] (Josei)
– [b]One Piece[/b]: the characters are not that deep, but the story is so original and sincere that it keeps me reading.
– [b]Saint Oniisan[/b] (Comedy, Seinen): Jesus! And Buda! Living together in an apartment!
– [b]Chii’s Sweet Home[/b]: cuteness. The story of a kitten.
– [b]Shounen[/b]: Dragon Ball! =D, Claymore, Deadman Wonderland, Bleach, Soul Eater, Bakuman, Doubt, Shamo.
– [b]Fruits Basket[/b] (Shoujo): it made me feel so many things, sadness, friendship, and joy.
– [b]Shoujo[/b]: Hana Yori Dango, Saruyama, Kare-Kano, Akuma to Love Song, Skip Beat, Hoshi wa Utau
– [b]Historical[/b]: Historie, Sidooh, Ares, Vagabond, Vinland Saga.
ANIME (yuri and non)
I don’t see much anime, but I would keep seen these ones again and again:
– [b]Utena[/b]: my life.
– [b]Furi Kuri[/b]: Freak. Crazy. Sad. The end is sad. And the anime is so f*n great! (original work by Gainax).
– [b]Puni Puni no Poemi[/b]: yeah, I know, it’s a full nonsense, but my God, I laughed till die.
– [b]5 centimeters per second[/b]: beautiful and sad. I love the theme song.
– [b]Evangelion[/b]: waiting for the 3rd movie to be released =B
Hey, that was pretty long. I hope you’d found some new manga to read ^^
See ya!

O-M-G!!!
That is a HUUUUUUUGE list!! Luckily I have read some of these! I’m reading Aoi Hana, all of Morishima Akiko, Otsu Hiyori and Morinaga Miriku. I’ve also read some of the other titles. I loved Pieta!!! Otsu Hiyori and Morinaga are probably my favourite mangakas. I must admit that I probably like Hiyori’s a tad more as the character designs are a tad more mature and soooooo pretty!! I’ll have to slowly work through the rest!! Thanks for the list!!!

I recommend you watching the JDorama “Smile”. I don’t know if you heard of it or watched it already, but I loved that drama show, very touching. I cryed at the end :’) Hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

Hello there! I have another recommendation! A JDorama called “Sengyou Shufu Tantei ~Watashi wa Shadow”. I like it! The main character can be really annoying, but I got used to it XD Also the theme song is “Spice” by Perfume, my favorite group! You should check them out ;)
