The tender and loving yuri genre has served as the subject of this latest ranking, with voters having diligently selected the yuri series they consider to be the absolute best – moe, comedy and other such light-hearted elements apparently being more important factors than squishy lesbian sexcapades.
The ranking, boasting a total of 4884 votes:
1. Yuru Yuri
2. Sakura Trick
6. Aoi Hana
10. Simoun
AS usual, over half of them released in the last 12 months…
No Sasameki Koto? I feel like that doesn’t get enough attention. It’s one of very few yuri anime that’s more realistic.
For some reason I really like Kannazuki. I even read the manga.
Yuru Yuri and Koukaku no Pandora aren’t really yuri animes, they’ve got like… subtle hinting at yuri but “nothing ever happens”
And the rest, as most who have seen them will know, are kinda crappy. I’ve seen them all, except maybe 8, but it’s no doubt that yuri anime is sorely lacking in quality in general. Especially when the best two on that list aren’t really yuri animes, they just have implied yuri (except yuru yuri has ONE scene where things get out of hand. Poor Akari)
Sakura trick would have been good but it was more about girls kissing girls than well… any sort of story or content. I mean it was cute, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t good. 🙁

This is most yuri anime, it’s all just softcore fuzzy feelings nonsense. Then you have something like Strawberry Panic that’s SO caught up in plot and setting that it’s just a chore to watch (AND the yuri is still bad).
Strawberry Panic was… alright. It just wasn’t in any way “new”. Though I can understand why dramatic yuri isn’t for everyone.
Yuri bears is a terrible Yuri and the people who voted for it should feel ashamed of themselves.
When people ask me what the title translates to I tell them “Lesbian Bears Get Shot.”
Somehow with a concept like that it manages to suck.
Truest comment yet
I tried to watch it… I really did. It was horrible, but I made myself watch over half the episodes. But it just never seemed to get any better.
So yeah. Totally agree with you there.
