Yuruyuri - The end of Akari Akaza and the rise of the Yuri kingdom

by feal874. August 2011 22:20

Hello Yuri comrades,

Here we are to talk again about the fifth episode of the most cute yuri series of this summer season named Yuruyuri that is charming us with a great combination of comedy and yuri action. (this last part is really evident in this last episode)

The episode start off with an Ayano Sugiura "kidnapped" by Kyouko Toshinou to the comiket. Reason?! She needed someone to care about her own circle! Fortunately she redeemed herself right after by letting them go around freely while she was caring the circle...Wink

Between the classic scenery of the comiket we get some cosplay action (thanks to Kyouko self-created costumes) delivering our loved Kyouko's cuteness appeal and Ayano's hot appeal. They did not forget to add a joke or two in the middle to make us laugh even if they were mostly following the repeated-to-death delusion dream.

Yuruyuri

Soon after we switch to the other first-year yuri pair (the junior student council one). I really think they looks like a great couple together as the lazy attitude of Sakurako Oomuro well matches with the diligent behaviour of Himawari Furutani. By the way, the addition of the genius little sister of Himawari isn't bad in the whole mix, or maybe it is just that when these three are together I sure manage to get a good laugh...

Even if the whole situation was quite interesting, the real yuri power of the episode doesn't arrive till we get to the Akaza family house in which Chinatsu and Akari are losing time together while complaining that the rest of the cast is at the comiket.

The comedy focuses on the profound difference between Akari's ingenuity compared to Chinatsu yuri desire. This unfortunately (or well, fortunately I should say from my standpoint) quickly degenerate in Chinatsu jumping over Akaza to "kiss her to prepare herself for the real deal when Yui will be finally in her hands".

 Yuruyuri

Unfortunately for her, exactly when she manages to kiss Akaza forcing her near the door, Yui and Kyouko open the door to give them some souvenir in a scene a lot reminiscent of the last route of Yosuga no Sora. I don't know if you remember, but I called it the please-remember-to-lock-the-door scene!

Oh, I surely laughed at the misfortune of Chinatsu when it comes with her love for Yui! While this will probably be focus for future as well, I still hope that somehow Chinatsu drop off that cold attitude toward Kyouko. I mean, how can she reject that angel that Kyouko is?!

Yuruyuri

Concluding, after these four episodes I have enough information to solidify my opinion. This series is fun! I heard a lot people being disappointed by Yuruyuri, but it looks fine for me and I'm quite entertained by it!

Let's think the positive side of this hate my brothers and sisters. Less rivals for our wifes! Laughing

See you soon,

Lol. The Yosuga No Sora scene is what popped into my mind with Chinatsu and Akari. I am totally enjoying this series, since it kind of reminds me of Hyakko in a few aspects. Really do not see much to hate about this title thus far. Very entertaining and you do manage to get a quick laugh or two.  

Already calling dibs on Sakurako and Himawari ^^

Sora is win! I remember that she wasn't even fazed out after being seen.

Yeah, there are vibes of Hyakko, even if Hyakko had very few yuri scenes.

Need some dere between Sakurako and Himawari!!!

Team Tsundere is my 2nd fav set of characters next to my heroine Ayano. Who says 3 tsunderes in one show is too much? Not me.

Poor Akari, she won't be able to become a wife after what happened!

Chinatsu X Akarin isn't a bad idea after all...

What? Don't remember any sweaty otaku in any comiket...The comiket is filled with cute yuri girls, isn't it?! >_< (I'm officially in delusion mode.)
The imouto was cute and hilarious. I loved how Sakurako apologized right after her speech.

Yeah, Kyoko is a little ingenue on that side, but that's the good of her!

Akari~n hajimaruzo!

But yeah, that yuri scene with Chinatsu was funny, if only a bit freaky.

O-dango Bazooka!!!

I'm interested in if that scene will be mentioned or will have any effect in the future...

No it won't. Life will go on and that scene will probably not be brought up again...at least not from what I remember.

Te last scene was the one that made the most buzz in "the nation". I would tell you about it but I think you don't need to think too hard to figure out what was discussed.
Anyway, for those disappointed...bleh. So far the show is still following the manga accurately...except the addition of the omega kawaii imouto.

I think the last scene was ok and was really funny. I started laughing no end after Kyouko and Yui appeared at the door. It was magnificent.


The omega kawaii imouto was criminal. I really agree with Sakurako. There wasn't anything else to do than apologize.

That kiss near the end. I feel so guilty for enjoying it so much... Poor Akarin.

Ahahah, you're not alone Yi. We all enjoyed it.

Akkarin was the most ingenue pure girl of the bunch, but as Overlord-G said there will be no influence on the future so well...

The kiss at the end really made my day. I can't help but to laugh at the chasing scenes as if Chinatsu is some sort of ra**st haha. And I do wish they remember this for the rest of the series though the chances are slim.

While the chasing looked like some kind of violent joke, soon after with the Yui/Kyouko pair appearing turned quickly into a comedy segment of great results.

Yeah, if OverlordG is right they'll forget about it right from the next episode.

Akari? Who's that? Oooohhh, the red haired girl that's always in the background? Gotcha lol.

Anyways, seriously speaking, Akari is forever doomed to being poked fun of and ignored by those around her. And then there was the trauma this ep that she'll probably never forget.

Chinatsu was a bit too aggressive with that kiss of hers though, makes me wonder if Chinatsu has some secret hidden feelings...

Don't be mean to that little poor girl!


Yeah, her character is based on the fact that she's being poked fun by the others for her lack of presence. I liked her role in the fictional battle against Chinatsu evil. "O-dango Bazooka!!!"


Chinatsu is going to become a cougar as soon as she grows up if she doesn't get less aggressive...who knows, we'll see if there will be more hints on this...

I don't see why a lot of people are bashing yuru yuri. Others don't even give it a chance because of the second word in the title (yuri) ¬¬. It's so cute and funny, in my opinion! Of course, nichijou is the most hilarious anime I have seen in a while (correction: A VERY LONG-AZZ TIME O_O), but the jokes are not grounded in reality, like yuru yuri's are. I guess that's what's making it so successful. It's random xD!  Sadly, yuru yuri can't do that because it has to work within the confines of reality Dx! But if it didn't... wow... it'd be a hit... no, actually, LOTS of anime would be a hit if they were random, but then randomness would become mundane... and we'd be back to the starting point. I prefer stories with a little plot at least
.


OMG, am I the ONLY one that's rooting for Akari x Chinatsu here ;__;???

I don't see Yui x Chinatsu happening. And Kyoko x Chinatsu is one-sided (besides, Ayano owns Kyoko and vice versa *fangirl scream*)

Though Yui x Kyoko is sort of cute... but I just see them as friends :3 (that's weird coming from me... I'd normally root for any two childhood friends).

Can't wait for more to come to solidify my shippings xD!

Yeah, I also don't see the point of all this bashing.
The series by itself is nice and the characters are likable. The jokes are sometimes a little repetitive, but mostly ok as well.


Akari X Chinatsu?! Too harsh for our poor Akari. She's too ingenue to survive


Yui X Kyoko is also nice, not the best like Ayano X Kyoko but well...


Awwww, we need more Yuruyuri!!! >_<
