yuri can only be popular if it's implied
Do you still believe this falsehood?
Yuri can only be popular if it's implied
falsehood
No one believed that anymore after Yuru Yuri and Madoka
Name one (1)
Don't tell me, tell the retards who eat up garbage that will never commit like Lycoris Recoil.
falsehood
Yuri is best when its Christmas
The alternate universe version of the series in OP is on its 7th reprint.
They keep pushing it in their other magazines too. Anime announcement next year.
Yuri is only good when it is ecchi.
yuri series are more popular when they opt for platonic friendship yuri, like madoka and symphogear. They would still be popular if they were lesbo-yuri but most series choose to maximize revenue
falsehood
Not even Yabuki made it work
Gender bending isn't yuri.
Only bait is popular
The fact that this thread and Anon Babble being so dead proves your lie
True for Yuru Yuri.
Madoka isn't yuri.
the fact that this thread and Anon Babble being so dead proves your lie
Compared to other anime porn boards (including ones like Anon Babble), Anon Babble is in third place behind Anon Babble and Anon Babble.
No. Here's the only yuri that managed to be as financially successful as battle shounen anime.
It's more so I feel the case that plot-based titles more often opt for that kind of stuff, or rather in reverse, that they more often have a big heavy plot to back it up because this close, pseudoromantic friendship thing just doesn't work without a further background plot.
Yuru Yuri was successful.
Wait a second... could it be that...maybe people actually like watching naked girls making out with each other?
You'll get to test your theory next year when Watanare comes out.
Ah just proving its dead.
it's
Heterosexual anime porn sells at least 10 times as much as yuri. The fact that yuri only has about 3-4 times less discussion shows that it's disproportionally popular on Anon Babble compared to everywhere else.
This.
I will only entertain Yuri during Christmas
When is the fucking scissoring?
They'd get pregnant, anon.
Subtletly and not being "on-your-face" is the perk for thinking men, that's why Anon Babble watch LycoReco while lesbian tranny on Anon Babblemblr watch Arcane instead.
Just wait for season 2.
Hetcucks believe a series that has a love declaration and other which ends with a love confession are platonic friendship
No surprise shonen all became platonic friendship.
explicit gayness is still seen as icky so yuribait will always have more mass appeal because there's plausible deniability for the faggyness. actual yuri is sectioned off into it's own genre and relegated to niche status

Yuri doesn't get high productions high marketing budget anime so it doesn't sell
Meanwhile the so called "yuribait' does.
Azul fucking lost.
Most yuri having high production/marketting would only make it sell marginally better. The Yuru Yuri anime came out in 2011 with even less marketing (DogaKobo was still a no-name studio at the time) and in a far more competitive environment, yet became a hit whereas every other YH anime has failed to reach that level.
It's the content that makes yuri unpopular.
The thing is, since there are no high production high budget yuri anime you can't even back this argument, viral successes in fact exist, but even stuff like Bocchi had a marketing budget bigger than most everything and it's no coincidence it was so successful, it exists to potentiate what is already there, without it even shonen jump stuff would struggle.
But there are examples of low-production/budget yuri anime being successful, even recently. See: MahoAko.
Bocchi had a marketing budget bigger than most everything
By the time Bocchi aired in October of 2022, it had 34k followers on twitter and when Stardust Telepath aired a year later, it had 25k followers in contrast. And we can see that the biggest jump occurs between Janurary/December (near the end). BTR wasn't that much more popular than ST to begin with; it became popular because the content of girls in music bands is infinitely more popular than model rocket building and yuri.
Bocchi's rose to fame isn't that special when you considered that it was an Aniplex produce show, helmed at Cloverworks directed by industry current golden boy. The show is good and well directed, don't get me wrong, but I'm inclined to believed that an Aniplex produce show at Cloveworks was supposed to be this hidden gem of the season.
Bocchi had a marketing budget bigger than most everything
Nigger, you must be joking right? Being an adaptation of 4koma manga from Kirara, Bocchi didn't had any hype in the beggining of the season and its initial popularity is only among the CGDCT crodws, even Aniplex didn't have any faith on it to become popular and they'd prefer to promoting Chainsaw Man that was airing the same season back then. That's it until Bocchi's popularity suddenly exploded from word of mouth in the middle of the season.
Lots of Aniplex works don't do that well. The fact that Kirara hasn't annouced a second season yet despite it's overwhelming success is more evidence that they weren't expecting it to do as well as it did.
this hidden gem of the season.
Most other otaku don't even know what Kirara is.
Anons, Bocchi was produced by the biggest producer with one of the current most popular anime studios, meanwhile Stardust Telepath had a deal with DMM and it was the only place it aired, it didn't get a lot of viewers but made a lot more money due to the exclusivity deal. While it's true Mahoako did a lot better than expected, it's still a niche title that could have done a lot better if it had better production values and marketing.
They definitely didn't expect a explosive success, which is very different to say they didn't expect it to do well, far above everything else and in line with the money invested on it, most kirara titles don't get close to what Bocchi got.
Only if you believe it should be the Bosom Friends-kind of holding hands and hugging only, and openly kissing on-screen is too liberal.
And the reason Kirara went with an exclusivity deal was because they knew it wasn't going to get many sales in the first place. RPG Fudosan aired a few months before Bocchi and was animated by GodaKobo and nobody cared. Throwing money at marketing only gets people to buy something if people think the content is good. Which is why no one bought the Chainsaw Man BDs and it only had a marginal impact on manga sales despite Aniplex throwing tons of money at it.
It's the same for yuri series. More money would have made MahoAko sell more, yes, but the fact that it sold so much without any marketing shows that the greater contributor to success is the content.
Behind the screen staffs name don't translate to hype or initial popularity, promotion and marketing do.
Just be honest anon, did you even heard about any hype for Bocchi over Chensoman before the season even began back then? Do you even try to look up the names behind Bocchi anime before you dismiss it as another generic CGDCT show? No? You just started to look them up in the middle of the season to reasoning its memetic popularity later? Yeah, that's what I thought.
