Oh boi, this did not survive my attempted rewatch.
I really loved this show when I was somewhere between 13 and 17, can't pinpoint my exact age anymore, unfortunately. I had originally rated it 9 stars... I don't know, how I did not notice the following themes.
The first episode alone consists mostly of sexual harrassment/stalking(?) of multiple characters (including incest) and bullying of one.
This is treated as a joke, even though the show even depicts the emotional effects of the torment on its recipients. It just... doesn't care. Seeing the characters suffer and unable to flee or defend themselves... makes it all the more funny apparently?
For the sake of my own peace of mind, I will not continue this re-watch, so I can't reliably say, if it gets better or worse over the course of…

This show made me feel really uncomfortable at worst, and maybe got a chuckle at best.
The main problem with YuruYuri is that the characters are 13 years old, yet are depicted in suggestive/outright sexual contexts. This combined with incest and forced kissing are just not the right mix for what should probably be a wholesome SOL anime. There's a few episodes which really did nothing except make me feel gross, and I nearly dropped the show twice.
The show actually has a few funny moments, and an alright set of characters. I only had real issue with Chinatsu, a self-imposing prick who does nothing but subtract from the anime. The best episodes were the few without her.
There's also this running gag where Akari has "little presence" but this gets old quick and feels more like cheap bullyin…

I watched Yuru Yuri all three seasons back in late 2015, and not only that it's one of the best slice of life comedies I've seen, but it's also one of the best anime I've ever watched, because it's so damn light-hearted and funny! The things that I really love most about Yuru Yuri is how pleasing for me to watch, and I really love the endearing characters, with each of them having unique personalities. Every single character has her own personality and behavior, and they have a relationship with each other, hence the word "Yuri" in the title.
It began with Akari Akaza being a protagonist of the show, and she gets to join the Amusement Club alongside her friends, Kyoko Toshino and Yui Funami. Eventually, Chinatsu Yoshikawa was convinced to join the Amusement Club as well, in which she was…

Yuru Yuri is one of those shows I was curious about, wondering why it was so popular. I decided to give it a go, and I can't really understand why so many people like it so much.
My biggest issue is two things: The characters are incredibly bland and annoying, and it's not very funny... At least to me.
Honestly, it was difficult finding any of the characters likeable. The only two I enjoyed throughout the whole run were Kyoko and Akarin. Everyone else is basically a walking stereotype like Ayano, Yui, or Chitose. Ayano is your textbook tsundere and really loves Kyoko for no real good reason. Sakurakou and Himawari are just there for the breast jokes. Chitose only exists to impliment some yuri fanservice... Do you see what I'm getting at here? Everyone feels like they're simply pawns to…

"Yuri yura ra ra ra ra yuru yuri, yuri yura ra ra ra ra yuru yuri daijiken!"
Nice.
"Itsumo MIRAKURU shinjite MIRAKURU kokoro ha harebare mankai"
Even nicer.
From the title itself, Yuru Yuri has the things you can, will and have expected in it. Lots of girls and absolutely no boys, either. You can expect a wholesome of yuri scenes which are.....truly....truly.....GREAT! From the first time I saw the title, I immediately watched the first season. As usual from my other reviews, the anime was a MASTERPIECE to me.
The story centers around four girls with the names Akari, Kyouko, Yui and Chinatsu. They seem to be in an all-girls school and seem to be a part of an Amusement Club that secretly holds their activities in the disbanded Tea Club's clubroom. From that point, lots of fun, relaxing…

Story:
I read somewhere that Yuru Yuri can be translated as "relaxed lesbians". That's pretty much what this is. It's a cute little slice of life comedy...with lesbians. That doesn't mean we get to see tons of fanservice or breast-grabbing or butt-touching, it's just the setting for this anime. There are a couple of girls that do have a crush on each other, which makes for some of the comedy, but much of it comes from the characters themselves, disregarding their sexuality. Actually, it's much tamer than I expected it to be, which I'm okay with. But putting the yuri bait aside, is it funny? In my opinion, yes.
8/10
Art:
It's moe-style. That should tell you everything you need to know, but writing nothing else would make this paragraph look pretty pathetic. T…

If you think your too good, or much of 'cool' guy to watch cute moe anime, your missing out!
Story 9/10: It's slice of life, so not much of a plot. Each episode is pretty straight forward, with your usual school themed stories. However it's so funny and so well written it doesn't feel cliche at all.
Art 9/10: Yeah it's cute moe art, I didn't think I'd like it but it grew on me and I thinks it's adorable! So the moral, don't judge a book or in this case anime by looks alone.
Sound 10/10: Oh that opening theme, it's so catchy! I find myself humming it all the time, it just a wonderful theme!
Characters 10/10: The characters are what really make this show. There all very original for the most part, like an MC who lacks presence so much she's not really the MC. One girl who is a slightly…

1) This show has "Yuri" in its title, it's comedy, and it's slice of life
2) I like yuri, I like comedy and I like slice of life
3) Well, the third step is obvious, isn't it? I just had to give this a shot.
4) .......
Okay, maybe some things don't mix after all. Yuri and slice of life don't make a fusion as good as I hoped it would.
First of all, I found this show boring. Nothing really happens in it. Okay, some of my favorite anime don't have much going on (it is slice of life after all), but when an anime doesn't have much going on, it doesn't automatically mean it'll be boring. Sadly, that is the case with Yuru Yuri.
Then it's the characters. They're all just bland and uninteresting. Sure, they look pretty, but their personalities didn't appeal to me. Except Kyouko, who is a bit inte…

So this anime is basicly Japanese lesbian middle-schoolers doing cute and entertaining stuff (the yuri stuff never gets past sort-of unintentional kiss). If this sounds entertaining or fun to you, then congratulations. You will probably find this anime very enjoyable.
There is honestly not too much else to say about this anime. The characters are charismatic and likable. The interactions between them are well written and feel very natural. The overall art and animation are nice, good on the eye and quite a joy to watch. The opening and ending is good.
Honestly there is not much to say about this show, which of course does not make it bad. At it's core it is a very well written, well executed, funny and relaxing slice of life anime. As I said if you found the first sentince to be to your…

Yuru Yuri is dedicated to the Slice of Life genre, and while that may account for a lack of story depth, it isn't an excuse for a show such as this to have no depth whatsoever.
It pains me to say this, as the show is really quite charming and likable, but essentially... There is no plot, it's just a "pleasant" 12 episode series of (very) mild Shoujo Ai, Comedy and SoL filler.
In terms of Art and Sound, as i expected from Pony Canyon, it was top notch! The animation style and audio couldn't be more fitting for presenting the unfortunately uneventful subject matter.
The characters, though some very typical anime stereotypes are all well introduced, and somehow without lots of back story, they're easily likable, acquaint-able, and... kawaii. What does this DO for Yuru Yuri? Well, this co…

If you're wondering what Yuruyuri is about, the title really says it all. The girls go to school and do something "fun." The girls bring in some lesbian jokes in the premise.Outside of providing a silly, outrageous good time, that is. It's all deeply stupid and quite fun.
Yuru Yuri is pretty pointless and episodic. There's no chance to make a compelling arc. A club the purpose of which is to facilitate the doing of nothing.
The Characters of this show are simply sketched, and are distinctively cliche. Akari is the nice girl type with a "not so main character-ish" presence, Yui is the smart, cool one, Chinatsu is similar to Akari but poses a dangerous threat of sadism, and Kyouko is the energetic and irresponsible one and so on. Much fun is similarly had with the three tsunderes in the stud…

“Hey, want to hear about the new anime I started?”-Me
“Yeah sure. What's it about?”-Mitch
“It's a show about a group of ravenous lesbian-”-Me
“NOPE!”-Mitch
So goes a short conversation with my pal Mitchell. I started watching Yuru Yuri just a short while ago and I was able to come to the conclusion that “Yuru Yuri is a show about a group of ravenous lesbian middle-school girls who do zany things while staying semi-PG or mostly PG-13.” (Me) Yuru Yuri is a great anime when it comes to sound track, characters, and animation style because the characters are impossible to hate, the sound track fits perfectly with the mood, and the animation style just works.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI Jebus reviews Yuru Yuri, hajimatte yo!
So when I first started watching this show, I thought to myself "oh no, here we go, middle school girls thinking they're lesbians so they go and do lesbian things with other lesbians that are friends of said lesbian" and you know what? I was right. Now mind you, this was when I found the idea of lesbians being funny just ridiculous so I didn't really enjoy it like others did. I watched the first episode just out of curiosity and I was bored to tears and just found myself getting angry with every lesbian joke that came out of this show. I turned it off and never looked back. This was when it aired.
...then I watched episode 2 three years later after lightening up a bit.
My god, how this show managed to slip through…

“Yuri your way to success! Vol. 1” -Now with footnotes!
Approximately 12 years ago, we were introduced to a certain J.C.Staff series about a girl from Osaka and her five friends. A couple of years latter, KyoAni presented to us a self-entitled otaku and her friends: the twin-sisters and the smart-but-clumsy bishoujo¹. Those stories would go around these girls and their (barely average) easygoing high-school paradise.
Interesting? Entertaining? What is the point? It doesn't really matter, deshou?
It just happened that the community saw it was good, the industry saw it was profitable, and from that on, we started watching shows about cute girls doing cute stuff for no apparent reason (both us and the cute girls).
The story:

Welcome, lovely fans. It's a new year and you know what that means. Yes, it's time to start the year out right with yuri anime month. Okay, so some of you may remember that last year I dedicated January to reviews of anime involving the peerless, titanic-ally talented Hayashibara Megumi. Yes, I could do that again, but this year I'm going to watch yuri instead. Let's start the month with something I actually haven't seen. Written by Namori and brought to the screen by Dogakobo Studio, this is Yuru Yuri.
The anime opens with three girls starting middle school. After classes they get together in the tea club room because the tea club got disbanded and they decided to use the room for their amusement club. So you have a small group of girls going through school and humour based on their eve…

After watching this anime I had to do a review on it. This anime gave me a good laugh over all. All the main and side characters are funny in there own way. This anime reminds of the anime Strawberry Marshallows more than any other anime, if you havent watch it or read it, do so and you see what I mean. I personally enjoy shoujo ai/ school life/ Moe anime so i automatically fell in love with this anime, Plus the comedy, wrap it all up in one. The first two episodes may start off slow but i guarantee you gonna enjoy it alot after the first three episodes passes. Definitely a must watch anime, that if you like comedy, school life or shoujo anime or all three.

When you put a bunch of girls, many of whom have questionable sexual orientations, in a club aimed solely at the entertainment of themselves, what do you get? Yuru Yuri!
Quite honestly I was questioning myself for a while whether I should watch this series or not. After reading the title and understanding the literal translation of the title, "Slow Yuri", my first impression was less than favorable. I'm not a huge fan or ecchi or yuri, in fact I tend to shy away from these anime genres that I usually perceive as taboo. I decided to give this series a go and watch it parallel with A-Channel (which is also a very good series in my opinion). What does this have to do with anything? I was actually able to appreciate this anime a lot more while watching this anime with A-Channel.

Yuru Yuri is a shoujo ai anime that focuses on 4 school girls as they form an amusement club. The cast is stretched out shortly after to more characters, and with the exception of Ayano and Chitose, who become the most reacurring characters with the exception of the four mains ones; Kyouko, Yui, Chinatsu, and Akari.
The main joke of the story is Akari, and the fact that she is considered to be the main character of the show but never stands out. She is noticed for being unoticed, even making jokes about her having the power of invisibility.
Toshinou Kyouko is the main focus of the show. She reminds me of myself, a crazy and relentlessly random girl who could shout out or come up with any weird or wacky idea on the spot. Toshinou is just plain loveable, the very basic term to describe her…

“Meh, here’s another god damn moe blob slice-of-life. I don’t understand why people like shit like this…”
If this is your mindset, then even without saying it, you know you should pass up on the offer; however, if you have do have an interest in slice-of-life anime, comedies, or shoujo ai (You should note that shoujo ai is not a major genre. It doesn’t have as much yuri as you would expect from its title), then go for it. I started watching Yuru Yuri thinking it would be fantastic, and do you know how it turned out? Yuru Yuri absolutely amazed me by how it was more than fantastic, it was glorious! I do not even remember the last time I have laughed so much. I know that I laughed in every episode and I loved every minute of it. Do you know wha…

"Why are girls more susceptible to same sex or bi-sexual orientation? Who knows, but it sure does make a good source of comedy material in the anime world"
Yuru Yuri (literal translation Easy-Going or Slow Yuri) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Namori about three schoolgirls... wait am I missing someone? Guess not. They took over the former room of the tea ceremony club (may I add how manly tea is?) to form their own "amusement club" Yea because in Japanese highschools it isn't illegal to just take over another club room for your own amusement. I know I used to make the boy's toilet my secret base. (It's ok, guys doesn't even like to use our toilets) Cause seriously which guy hadn't secretly used the girls toilet because he can't stand the odor in the guy's toilet. Th…
