But I don't expect it to be good... I just want to see some crazy stupid fights.
Then you'll be satisfied.
Yeah, Japanese cherry trees have been bred for generations for abundant and colorful petals, to the exclusion of all else, so their ability to produce fruit has been nil for quite a while. Actual cherries are expensive in Japan because they need to be imported.
Or maybe KyoAni Trees AMIRITE
So the Chet avatar thing is beginning to spread here too, huh?
I made this in photoshop but I'm not sure if I want to use it now, hahah:
Ha! The anti-Chet, you should use it. I was trying to think of something (other than Pokemon), but I've got nothing.
Looks significantly better than that key image that was floating around.
Rest assured, crazy stupid fights are the specialty of the house!But I don't expect it to be good... I just want to see some crazy stupid fights.
As I saw in a documentary emitted recently at NHK WORLD, it doesn't help that much of the production on their own country is located at Yamagata, rising population awareness and speculation about possible high radiation levels in their crops:

The best thing for the enthusiasts of the sweet cherries in the region that travel to any of the farms is that they are allowed to taste all the fruits they can eat from the most precious tree the owner of the plantation has, as part of a promotion on the products safety. Good deal, I think!
So what's this one about?
I watched pretty much all of it over the last couple of weeks too, but I still hold a generally positive opinion of it. Like I've mentioned previously, I can't really see a middle-ground with YuruYuri, because it does pretty much rehash it's base jokes for all they are worth.
Which is weird, because I would use your above criticism, but substitute in Binbougami ga! Which I think wastes its interesting premise amidst an endless flurry of boring boob gags, or at least so far.
Not that it didn't come up with a few good moments, but the show played it incredibly safe with characters, incredibly safe with the story, incredibly safe with the humor, and incredibly safe with the lesbian content. S2 ep 12 really encapsulates this with the most rote rendition of a bad Snow White play. Even when they tried to actually DO something it was played safe then written off entirely.
Yuru must mean "coward".

Gyrozetter - Faith in the director/the arcade game gives them cool attacks to worth with

Gyrozetter in that TV spot recently looked amazing, hopefully comes in English.

Episode 11 pretty much illustrates a microcosm of all that, an ambitious episode that pulls the rug from under itself at the very end.
That's what I was referring to, but even that level of ambition wasn't high.

Those character designs are so bad.
well, same faces without remarkable features.
It's a little sad because I like the artstyle.

That was a really good end. For a show that is about the characters, I am glad that it ended as it did. I liked development, how pretty everything was and just everything about this show.
One of my favorite series of this year. Too bad it's over. :[

Yeah, I have been deprived of any new mecha shows for a while now so I'm really hoping its good. I mean when the game that its based off of has this, it has to have some cool moments.
Well, in terms of YuruYuri it was. It was certainly out of left-field for them to suddenly try to engineer a touching moment, which they almost succeeded on, but they conspired to bundle the execution.
Those outfits are ugly too, and the coloring is bland... At least it might have some nice animation.

This really looks fantastic. I'm definitely most excited for this, followed closely by Psycho-Pass and Magi.
What exactly is your definition of bland?
Maybe I should have said "dull" instead, it isn't pulling off the flat shading style very well.
I think you're wrong.
If only the show actually looked like this for more than 5-6 episodes out of 24...
Almost no new footage... still looking great, tho.
Honestly I think a third season would be too much just following its same formula, two seems to be enough as is.

In retrospect, one was enough. It's the kind of junk food that's enjoyable at first but makes you sicker the further you go on.

Why are you so wrong?

Wait, I thought this was some slice of life romance thing. Guess it was because of certain people here hyping it up or something. Could be cool.
But yeah, the designs are meh even though the art style is neat.
They do look a little unremarkable. Nothing about them particularly stands out.
Not "bad" though.

Owch, listen to Hitokage laying out the burns. As someone who is only four episodes into the first season of Yuri Yuri I can't imagine that I will be continuing it. There's nothing necessarily wrong with it but neither is it doing anything to sustain my interest over the longer term.

To me it looks like they were really designed for animation and it looks like that's being used to full effect in the trailers. They look really clean.
Is there actually anything left to cover? S1 excluded Akane so people were looking forward to S2. I suppose there are the other siblings who haven't been touched on as much but I doubt they are really worth another series.
The only other thing I can think of is bringing in the stories from the spinoff manga Reset!
They look very boring, the faces are ugly. I guess If I drew a circle and put 2 dots in it for eyes, you would also say that was really clean and well designed for animation?
And I don't see how anyone can defend those outfits, they're worse than YuruYuri's.
I blame 7Th and his 'pairing' charts for that.
I like the contrast between the simplicity of their thin figures and the strangeness of other mutant creatures, makes them appear like more ethereal beings (something I suppose could be wanted, anyway).

More time travel.
They should have gotten a character designer who can actually pull that off, then. Like ABe.
He's too busy working on Despera.

You should probably be the person most upset with the show if you weren't so much like Chitose.
When in doubt; turn it into a battle series.
