What is yuribait?
What is yuribait?
Logan Lopez
Andrew Brown
No, /u/ is just braindead.
David Foster
This show would have been much better if they had put all the effort that went into yuribaiting into virtually anything else
Colton Powell
Kevin Watson
Why is Kumiko so terrified and who's Mr. Sbelord
Liam Rodriguez
>can't even read English
>calls other people braindead
Nathaniel Evans
Showing girls just fooling around among themselves, with no prospects of any serious relationship between them ever happening, generally in order to please fatass otaku with their pure waifu mentality. It's really disgusting.
Chase Richardson
I see no yuribait in this show. You guys are just deluding yourself to think that they are baiting with yuri.
Liam Phillips
Oh.
Cameron Lee
>with no prospects of any serious relationship between them ever happening
How can this be determined?
Is what you described not subtext, if not in fact actual yuri?
Hudson Reyes
It's a term used by people who don't understand that subtext is the foundation of yuri.
Charles Martin
Because nothing happens onscreen, no kisses, no I wuv you, no nothing. It's just bait. Subtext is just the nice thing to refer to it, in any case, the reason why nothing ever happens is either
>in order to please fatass otaku with their pure waifu mentality
or just outright good ol' homophobia.
Elijah Mitchell
Stop this meme. There has never been any sexual tension between them. This was neither yuri nor yuribait, just friendship
Kayden Morgan
/u/ still mad. Great.
Christian Miller
Maybe not on the original source, but the anime was unresolved sexual tension: the anime.
Andrew Jones
I've seen gayer shit than OP's pic on fucking nurutu
Ryder Butler
Just normal adolescence, take off your goggles.
Blake Sanders
Reina is rotten slut wanting adult dick
Kumiko is pure maiden who gets flustered when childhood friend start showing signs he loves her
People don't want yuri faggotary, normal heterosexual romance is the best
Kayden Robinson
There's nothing wrong with het relationships, of course. The problem is when you have a couple of characters doing the gayest shit ever on a regular basis but then you force het on them because it's the normal thing to do I guess.
Austin Ramirez
>The problem is when you have a couple of characters doing the gayest shit ever on a regular basis
You are just retarded. That never happened in the show.
Alexander Bennett
It did plenty of times, though.
Juan Davis
Yuribait is a term coined by people that fail to understand what is yuri.
Not like I care though, if making up new names for things that makes them uncomfortable makes their life easier then go ahead just don't be surprised if somebody calls you a retard.
Luis Murphy
>the anime was unresolved sexual tension: the anime.
And that's where you're wrong. There was nothing like that at any point
Julian Miller
No, you're right, this is perfectly friendly behavior between nothing but friends.
youtube.com
Christian Jackson
this implies that yuri is good though
Daniel Diaz
I knew you'd post that scene
Yes, it's indeed no unusual behaviour for friends. I still don't get why everyone thinks that this is the first step into each other's bedroom
Cooper Perez
DES
Juan Williams
You might be gay.
Aiden White
Everything that's not hentai.
Levi Torres
Why?
Aiden Fisher
Because it is NOT usual behavior for friends. You just don't do that to a person you don't want to slap genitals with. Not even saying a no homo afterwards would help you in that case.
Michael Martinez
If that is how you act with your samesex friends, you are most likely gay.
Luis Morris

Shut the fuck up.
Wyatt Hall
>character exclaims that the other is so amazing/beautiful they wouldn't mind dying

I didn't even care for hibikek, but that scene is gay as fuck.
Isaiah Martin
>What is yuribait?
Making you have a boner for a girl-girl action without ever delivering the goods. It's a real artistic con dude.
Christopher Lee
This. People don't understand that declarations of love not only means eros.
Kumiko and Shuuichi are going to marry and live happily ever after.
Luke Wood
I don't see anything gay here. I mean do you guys live in a culture where even a bit of physical contact with same sex is viewed as gay. Reina is fascinating person for kumiko and thus such a dreamlike aesthetic in that scene.
John Ross
This
Finally someone gets it
Joshua Fisher
Connor Roberts
Do you people live in a parallel reality where gently touching the face and the lips of another person with your fingertips is somehow not sexual?
Matthew Green
I mean, so far nobody has ever complained about it and I didn't instantly fucked everyone I did it with. So no, not a parallel reality by any means
Ryan Morgan
>even a bit of physical contact
If my friend walked up to me delivering a speech and running her fingers from my forehead to my lips, I'd be at least flustered, because that is not a normal gesture between friends. Where the hell do you live?
Kayden Gonzalez
Only cultures were people act like this to people they apparantly doesn't love is were homosexuality is repressed so they have to express it in other ways such as that.
Adam Young
You do that to people? How cringy.
Caleb Thompson
Not random people on the street of course, but with friends
Also:
>cringy
Get
Owen Kelly
Yeah you can't say they are gay just from that slight physical contact. I think you never had any same sex best friends in your life or maybe you live in different culture.
Benjamin Phillips
I do. And they're still my friends cause I don't touch them in suggestive manners like that. Your friends on the other hand are most likely gay.
Julian Martinez
NOPE

>Oguro: Right, right. Somehow, it felt like I was seeing a real yuri work for the first time.
>Ishihara: It does look like that. Well, from our point of view.
>...
>Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.
Why does no one bother to read the interviews? It clearly says that KyoAni intentionally made it look it yuri but it wasn’t made to actually be yuri.
Elijah Bell
Yamada thinks being a lesbian is a phase in life that every girl goes through, that doesnt make it not yuri, it makes Yamada a closet lesbian
Jeremiah Jenkins
>I don't see anything gay here. I mean do you guys live in a culture where even a bit of physical contact with same sex is viewed as gay. Reina is fascinating person for kumiko and thus such a dreamlike aesthetic in that scene.
You do understand the whole concept of "undertone" don't you ?
That whole sequence is fully of implicit sexual tension. Not only in the dialogue, but also from the way Reina acts towards Kumiko (touching her in a sensual way) to the way she comes dressed up to the meeting.
It's a very jarring scene because we know Reina has the hots for the professor and not Kumiko, yet this particular sequence plays out as she was dripping wet for Kumiko's kiss and maybe more.
This is the defining characteristic of yuribait. You know that the characters aren't lesbians, yet you play the audience like a fiddle in making them believe they are without ever crossing the line.
Parker Gray
Is this the weekly thread where we laugh at /u/?
Xavier Perez
reminder that Kumiko and Asuka are otp
Julian Sullivan
>Yamada: Okay. So I’ll say it clearly: I don’t think that’s depicted as yuri. I wanted to depict adolescence.
>Oguro: For which case?
>Yamada: Probably for all of them. For Tamako, for Reina, for all of it. I wanted to depict adolescence!
Why does she says Reina when the MC is Kumiko. Why does she says Tamako when she mentioned Midori after being told about her yuri work. Really makes me think.
If she says is not yuri then it's not yuri. After all she's the yuri president.
Nolan Powell
youtube.com
Oh yeah, because everyone grabs their best friends face, looks them in the eyes and declares their love for them. Totally not gay or at least baiting it.
Colton Green
>taking what that stupid cow Yamada says at face value
You simply don't direct one of the most sexually charged scenes in recent anime history and then get to claim "it wasn't meant that way". The takeaway from this interview is that she's either neck-deep in denial or intentionally dishonest to keep up appearances.
Luis Turner
>Why does she says Reina when the MC is Kumiko.
Because she was the more lesbian of the two.
Hudson Perez
A miserable little pile of lesbians
Jason White
>I want to chew on Taki-sensei's dick
Yeah, sure.
Grayson Lopez
Well Kumiko is the gay one.
Nathan Ross
Oh man, Asuka Kumiko will be yuribait paradise (in the film). I just hope we get tons of hot steamy lesbian doujins out of this film.
Jose Garcia
I have read some nip gossips about Kumiko breaking up with Shoe in the new LN.
Blake Butler
Weird, I read some nip gossip about all of them quitting the band in order to train and ride genetically modified dinosaurs.
Dylan Cook
You should feel ashamed for using umx translations despite him having astounding track record of mind-boggling mistranslations. We are talking about a dude who came into translation scene without even getting decent at basic japanese.
>Yamada:そっか、だから、私はいわゆる端的な意味での百合を描こうとはしてなかったと思います。思春期を描きたいです
Grayson Kelly
I'd read it.
Leo Campbell
>I see, I think I was not trying to draw a lily in a so-called botanical sense. I want to draw adolescence
Unless there’s some secret nip context I’m not understanding, it seems accurate enough.
Landon Morgan

She's tier-1 lesbian material. It's a pity she was put in an anime that doesn't realise her full lesbian potential.

Something I love because it shits on yurifags.
>UGGGNNN LESBIANS MY WEEWEE UUUUUGGUUUUU WHERE ARE MUH LESBIANS
Alexander Diaz
>i never intended to depict this so called "yuri" in its straight forward sense. I just want to depict adolescence
I don’t understand why umx even felt the need to add "I'll say it clearly" and made it sound like yamada is making a statement about depiction not being yuri when she's just talking about her intentions while working on the project. It's also kinda ambiguous as to what she meant by "yuri in the straightforward sense of the word"
Well, anyway it's not that much of a mistranslation but be careful while dealing with his translations since they are filled with total mistranslations.

Ah the good old japanese female disciplining.
Know your place woman or else suffer the consequences.
Jonathan Rodriguez
When two girls share glances with each other, that's what yuribait is.
Eli Gomez
>lolicons watching loli shows and shitting on old hags is perfectly okay
>incestfags watching incest shows and shitting on NBR is perfectly okay
>yurifags watching yuri shows and shitting on yuribait isn’t okay, fuck them
Charles Martin
It is if you're not a faggot.
Charles Butler
How does sexual tension have anything to do with yuri at all?
Please stop staining the purest form of love with your evil thoughts.
Kayden Bailey
Good to see you understand. /u/ is a cancer that must be purged.
Nathaniel Gomez
There’s a big difference between /u/fags and yurifags.
Bentley Ross
>Please stop staining the purest form of love with your evil thoughts.
Lesbian love is not pure at all. In fact it's quite messy and dirty. All those fluids mixing together.
Blake Rogers
2d yuris don't do gross things like that
Easton Mitchell
>2d yuris don't do gross things like that
Ah so yurifags want the smoke without the meat.
Brandon Scott
Kumiko's appeal transcends sexuality
Kayden Lopez
>Kumiko's appeal transcends sexuality
No it doesn't.
Jack Williams
Kumirei faggots is nothing but cancer. They don't care about Kumiko, Reina, other characters, plot or music. They just whining all the time and shitting on others characters, just because KyoAni following original script.
Ayden Baker
Andrew Young
Maybe if they hadn't deviated from the original script with their disgusting yuribait none of this would have happened. Or if the original script wasn't a piece of shit and it had stuck to actual music.
Brandon Cruz
Just look at her. She's make for hentai.
Make her 18 years old, a freshman student at some university and let the female imagination run wild. Kumiko is wasted in Sound Euphonium.
Nicholas Cox
How can anyone deny it after this scene?
William Jackson
Shoefags, haters, homophobes, closet gays and maybe strong hetfags.

Stop being brainlet, It's a novel.
Spoilers from the last novel
で、あとはほぼ久美子と秀一の話なんだけど…！
前編とか今までのだと、ちょいちょい差し込まれる秀久美描写に普通にニヤニヤだったけど、後編は不穏で超ハラハラしたああああ……
最初はデートきたー！だったのに、そのあと口論しちゃうし、純情すぎる久美子で秀一かわいそうｗけど久美子の純情すぎるとこはそのうち変わるよね！…なんて思ってたら、麗奈との会話にぎょっとしたよｗ
そんで、その後もちょくちょく出てくる久美子の不穏な内面描写に、これは次に秀一出てきたら破局する！お願い！もう出てこないで！って思って読み進めてたんだけど、その思いも空しく、ついに久美子から秀一への不穏な呼び出しきたあああああああ破局きたああああああああああ………
…しかししかし！最初に危惧してた破局理由とは全然違って良かった！
これはもう久美子ラブストーリーが約束されたも同然だよね！ね！？
はあ～270ページぶりくらいに秀久美パートを心穏やかに読めたよ…。
めっきり出番がなくなってたヘアピンも大活躍な予感で楽しみでしょうがない。やばいやばい。想像するだけで口角上がりまくっちゃう。
しかし、久美子どんだけ面倒なのか！しかも1年後OKなら秀一からって、自分からいかないんかい！って思ったｗ秀一優しすぎ！

You're not on 2-chan fucking idiot.
What the fuck are you putting spoilers around a wall of text in japanese ?
Liam Murphy
Are /u/fags still assblasted because these two never had any romantic feelings for each other? I swear to god, put two girls on screen, no matter the context, and all /u/ can think about is how they should fuck right now and then get angry for ages when they don't.
Justin Martinez
The problem is that the context of a lot of their interactions was romantic. See the infamous scene with Reina running her fingertip across Kumiko's face and ending on her lips. Like, come the fuck on.
Dominic Richardson
I don't know about /u/fags but why are you so mad?
Jason Young
Bruh, even a straight ass guy could see that had something running deeper than friendship, intentionally or not.
