thats why im making the summer thread after the dust settles from the euriphonium finale
This yuriish relationship has gone on to define what Sound! Euphonium is, is not, might be and there is a strong emotional investment in all of that. Also, well, we got Crunchyroll using it as an example of a lesbian coupling on this historic day. Also, that gets into the one of the bigger problems this series has, it does an excellent job of showcasing concert band but there isn't a lot of meat on that subject matter unless you know some stuff about it. That makes for interesting review reading but not all that hot of a discussion topic, relationships are a universal language.

So will people be more mad if it ends with a confirmed yuri ending, a teased yuri ending, or a confirmed no yuri ending?
Welcome to the wonderful world of shipping!

No wonder Funimation is trying to stomp their shit in.
I'm pretty sure that's a clear answer given that it's in order of least to most backlash.

I coudn't care less who wins/loses and I know how the shipping world works

Show by Rock!! END
That was a really cute and surprisingly entertaining show. Cyan's "final form" and The Presidents real form were great to see. Wish we got more Angelica throughout the show, shes badass.
I had a lot of fun with this. Good stuff.

I hope you caught SDBurton's metdown, that was glorious.

Honestly, I don't care as long as the ending doesn't come off as an asspull. It's the emphasis on the relationship existing or not existing over the rest of the show that's annoying to me, not the result.

All this talk of yuri and I havent started on sound yet.
I am watching something that has just the lightest bara and yaoi undertones tho.
Ore Monogatari episode 8
Bromance too stronk
Also the bara bar is the highlight of this episode, hilarious.

Hehee

He would love Strike Witches I think!
Dont worry much., Just use your good judgement and dont post lewd things. If its questionable best not to post it.
A great gif that is too.
I thought you were talking about the
Rocket sub-plot from the FMA 03 movie.
completely the result of alchemy which doesn't follow real world science anyway.

Sigh, still no SNAFU. And since I am doing open to close I will only be able to watch tomorrow night. Guess I won't be able to come around here until then if the episode drops. Same can be said of Plastic Memories, since that drops before my shift ends. So this is goodbye friends. Talk to you all tomorrow, once I watch and cry my eyes out.

That was the only meltdown I've ever enjoyed, because Sakura was a shit character, and then a lot of the Sakura fans turned out to also be terrible.
The amount of sodium produced was utterly legendary, and ultimately made the 15 years of shit worth it.
The only way that I will begin to like Erina is if she renounces her bitchiness and gets cat ears. I could see myself forgiving her if those conditions were met.
In the anime game, we are all winners. Never forget that!

Mashiroiro Symphony ep 7-END
Well,this was a little different from your normal harem anime, the MC actually chose a girl, freakin' amazing!!! The final 6 episodes were a mix of your normal harem love drama with some outside events with the animals. The MC'S sister is also a great wingman! I gotta say, the girl I thought should have won didn't, but I was fine with the outcome, it was sweet.

What a bizarre thing to rage about.
Its more likely it will be up at 3am on Wednesday because I have the day off.
for me this looks like one of the more interesting summer seasons in a while. I was surprised with how many shows I was interested in checking out.

Yeah, I have a busy day tomorrow from graduation parties, then end of year soccer parties to a Revolution soccer game at night, so I won't be able to cry through Plastic Memories until this time tomorrow!
I meant to ask earlier, but do we have a full list of which streaming service picked up the new shows this summer yet?

I'll be glad to keep you company then my friend. Me and you both suckers late at night after work crying over cartoons like the grown ups we are.
1-11, first half of TV 12 then all of DC 12

When did Naruto end? I think I missed that.
What exactly is the path to enlightenment?
Have you participated in the Stardust Crusaders thread? I'm not replying to a one-off occurrence.

Or how I learned to (not) love the fact every anime wants you to go read the source material
Anime was entertaining enough but he was no onii-sama.

Well that in itself is kind of the problem, isn't it? Here we have multi-faceted drama/comedy series chronicling the exploits of a concert band and involving the lives and interactions of its band members far beyond even the main characters themselves, ultimately centered around Kumiko's growing passion for playing music. And all of it gets reduced to "if this couple does/doesn't get together then we riot" as if there's nothing else of value to be gleaned from the experience of watching this show.
If you want two characters to get together that's all fine and good, go for it, hell I do it too. When the implication is made that an entire work's value hinges on the result of said potential relationship (assuming we're not talking about a work centered on romance, of course), it can be annoying to read. That's the exact type of thing that shipping-obsessed Naruto fans were mocked for when that manga ended.
only for you

Naruto fans were mocking a subset of Naruto fans? That's like video game nerds picking on boardgame nerds.

I just finished Sakamichi no Apollon last night. Still not sure what I think of that 8 year time-skip. It was such a Watanabe ending...
Come back on Tuesday and we will see about that one.
not including the joke posters on this forum*

I assume Euphonium is going through a similar situation Korra went through where regardless of the quality of the show (Korra being a disappointment in its last season and over-all), all people will talk about is the shipping.
I stand by my statement, I will be very surprised if that day is a quiet one.
unlike Korra, Eupho is decent enough that there's still good discussion to be had, once you get past the blockade of frothing shippers
Yeah tell me about it.
There really isnt a large contingent of fans who claim this as Euphonium's only quality metric. Most people seem to just enjoy the show as a throwback to school band days or as a way to learn about it. Frankly I just wanted to see more of ponytail Kumiko.

Huh. That was interesting. This is certainly the most shonen arc so far, characters taking ridiculous amounts of battle damage and shrugging it off, and doing the hit in stomach so hard you cough up bloody slowly. Although I think Shinpachi was puking along with it which is gross.
I'm surprised Kagura had a rage mode moment before Gintoki did.

That has been in the back of my mind this whole time. Doesn't matter what else Eupho has, the yuri is going to be its legacy.

which is a fucking shame if the show really is a return to form and all the internet can talk about is "but what about the cute girls not kissing? 0/10"
"Matthew McConaughey didn't end up with Woody Harrelson. 0/10"
only because you're trying desperately to make it that way, content in your own little bubble where the only thing people care about is illogical shipping.
it's laughable how you feel like you're owed a lesbian relationship in this show, and that the characters/kyoani is somehow cheating if it doesn't come to fruition.
the best part is how you think this is what's actually been going on in the show:
as if some sort of executive meddling is robbing you of your rightful yuri pandering, not the fact your misguided fetish is preventing you from seeing what's obvious: the show was never about Reina and Kumiko hooking up, nor was it the intention of the author, or Kyoani, for that to happen.
