wow a GNG fan like me, yay Razz

I have the series on dvd and i agree that it can be really really sad, and yeah the scene where Riki dies will always make me cry. I dunno if i'm going to watch the series about his son weed hmm.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting to meet a GNG fan here. ^^
I've seen Weed and even though the story is pretty good, it's been drawn so poorly that it's not really worth the money - at least I sold my own DVDs.

I've heard that it was poorly drawn, and that is kinda why i haven't gotten around to watching it yet -.-

Anyways maybe we should let some others geek out too lol

Has anyone seen claymore.. or loveless?
Loveless is a really good story. Ritsuka is soo cute, how can you not like him, Soubi is.. different lol. I've seen the anime and i'm reading the manga at the moment, and there is some shoujo ai in it both the manga and the anime, though it isn't focused on so much, it is there =p

yeah, while Maria-sama ga Miteru has yuri to it, it's also josei, meaning it's very 'slice of life'. so yeah, not much of a 'deep story' to be found within it, mostly just...emotions, for lack of a better wrod. Strawberry Panic, which is kind of a parody of Marimite, has more of a story to it, rather than just individual character backgrounds that effect how everyone interacts with one another.

hmm...i watched Loveless but like a lot of yaoi my friends share with me, it's a bit too much on the emo side for me. i did enjoy Kouya and Yamato's side story though.

Claymore was fun. at first, it reminded me a lot of Berserk but with female warriors instead but it's quite different. i have to say, myself and a lot of people cheered when Raki was absent from episodes for a long while. he's a decent kid and means well but man...whiny/screamy much? x_x; the first few episodes were pretty meh but once they started Claire's flashback arc, things picked up. i'm curious to see what happens past the anime ending but i have yet to pick up the manga.

i'd really recommend Simoun if you want something with a deep and beautiful story and yuri. on the world of Daikuuriku, everyone is born a female but once they reach the age of 17, they can choose to remain female or begin the transition to become a man. although, in the nation of Simulacrum, if you make this choice, you are unable to continue piloting an advanced aircraft called Simoun, which were built by an ancient, yet somehow advanced civilization. other nations of the world want this technology for their own ambitions and are willing to wage a war to do obtain it, using technology similar to that of the 1920-30s, while a single Simoun is able to do an incredible amount of damage by 'drawing' ceremonial glyphs in the air. i'll stop there before i start spoiling stuff but yeah, it has a bit of a slow start but it picks up really quick. definately recommend it.

hmm...i haven't heard of or seen Ginga Nagareboshi Gin though it's interesting it was translated as Silver Fan. ginga = Milky Way, nagareboshi = shooting star and Gin = silver, though Gin is a common name as well. ah well, even official English translated name that the Japanese come up with is completely different so yeah... n.n;

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Kai - which would be the second season) is good and bloody. the way the story is told in a very 'visual novel' way in that there's usually multiple stories, with the last one pulling/linking them all together. i tell you this now since it'll seem like the characters get 'reset' after each story, and i just want to say that there IS a reason why, and it's worth seeing it through to the end.

Elfen Lied is definately bloody as hell as well, just within the first 5 minutes of the show.

Darker Than Black is an excellent series (though the ending kind of faltered unless they plan to do an OAV or second series to follow up on it) and is...not as bloody as the other two but can be ruthless in it's own way.

Speed Grapher is supposed to be pretty violent iirc though i have yet to finish it myself for it also tends to hurt the brain at times. XD

that's all i can think of off the top of my head but i'll write again if i think of more.

i just finished up Strawberry Panic; i really enjoyed it (even if it was super cheesy in parts. hehe). Any other yuri anime you recommend, nekotine?

as for stuff that's yuri/shoujo ai/has girls in love/like/fans hope they love/like each other, there's:

...and much, much more. if there's an *, that means i particularly enjoyed watching it. Very Happy

for a full list of titles or just about everything considered yuri in nature, whether it's in canon or fandom, i'd suggest checking out Yuricon for all your needs.

while some of them aren't necessarily 'we totally kiss onscreen' yuri, they do all feature two girls/women being in a situation that brings them close together. if you want a series that is 'we totally kiss onscreen,' then i would suggest either Kashimashi, which is kinda on the cheesy/mushy side like Strawberry Panic, or if you're wanting something with a bit more action, either Simoun or Kannazuki no Miko. although, if you ask me what my favorite is amongst that list, it's likely Kaleido Star. :3

Is there like, an anime version of The L Word? Like, I know so much shoujo-ai is filled with 'almosts'. You watch 26 episodes only to get a small kiss at the end, and 'almost' touches, kisses, etc throughout the season. I'm not patient enough for that anymore. haha

Maybe Strawberry Panic would fit the bill? It became a lot more explicit than I was expecting from a girls school anime. Lots of fanservice. Razz

Another good one is Simoun - flying mecha powered by kissing girls, and heaps of lesbian drama happening on the ship. The story and characters are really good, I enjoyed it a lot.

On a separate note, it's not yuri but has anyone mentioned Black Lagoon yet? I love that show! It's so kickass and Revy is so hot. Recommend to fans of girls with guns and lots of things blowing up.

Another show I just started watching is Seirei no Moribito. The main character is cool; a strong independent spearswoman who's a resourceful fighter and bodyguard. The scenery is rendered really prettily, if a bit overly CG at times.

Oh, and surely someone has watched Bubblegum Crisis? It's not really yuri but you can pretend it is XD
