God I wish I could hug Kumiko like that

this is photoshop

Their unbiased opinions seems to contrast some anons claims that it was the most normal thing in the world and not yuribait

>Ishihara opinion means nothing here
>a director of the anime's opinion means nothing because I say so
Yamada's statement proves that Hibike is not yuri. Ishihara's statement proves that KyoAni nevertheless had a yuri perspective on Hibike. This means that the anime is, for all intents and purposes, yuri bait.

>France
Well, of course the French are like this.

how is it possible to be such a faggot?
Saying people in Japan doesn't touch much isn't the same as saying the Japanese doesn't touch at all.
My point was that saying that people touch a lot in your culture, and then implying that it's equally ok in Japan is fucking stupid

Gay or European?
It's hard to guarantee

Not the same user, but I'm not from America and I'm a contact person (very much) and I tell you that this isn't how you look at a friend. It's not related with skinship. It's a whole.

>Horrific gun crime, violence and mass murder is OK as long as nobody shows a nipple
AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE

Are you forgetting that yamada is the series director for hibike. Most of the work related to story and how characters should be portrayed is overseen by yamada. Ishihara's opinion can only be seen as 'typical male yuri consumer' opinion. Even the manga author(a typical biased male) mistook the novel for yuri. It's just how takeda likes to write female relationships in novels. Kyoani did a really good job with the adaptation and it says something when even yamada(a female) didn't saw the relationship as yuri. It's only in the minds of yuri fans
