The Yuri Anime List

Update to The Yuri Anime List

The Yuri content Grading System + demo of The “List”.

For both veterans and newcomers alike, here’s the most accurate yuri anime guide that I can think of. Keep in mind that as long as anime continue existing and yuri remains a viable genre, this list will be endless. Keep in mind, canon or subtext is not an issue. As long as the girls in question show ANY REMOTE SIGN OF ROMANTIC OR SEXUAL INTEREST IN ONE ANOTHER, meaning touching, more than friend like behavior, repeated teasing with a goal of earning the girl in question’s attention, it counts.

Here’s how it works. The highlighted ones I’ve already reviewed and you can check those out for more details. I’ll post how many episodes the show has and if I haven’t reviewed it, I’ll include more details until the day I finally review it (It ain’t easy reviewing all this stuff. I’m not feal87). Lastly there’s the intensity level which indicates how intense the yuri is.

117 Responses to The Yuri Anime List

  1. Serial Experiments should be waaay up there!

    Lain’s feelings for Alive were like the driving force for the choices she made! Surely BAD END was waiting at the tunnel of that but it doesn’t belong in the bowels of the list. But I guess this makes sense to the general fans…so..erm…ah!

    Any ways, this is one great list and the construct was really great!

    Erm, so, I was looking for that 2011 list you were talking about, where can I find it?

    • Overlord-G says:

      Well, I shouldn’t have added Lain to the list because I haven’t seen it yet. I only heard rumors about the yuri. This list is far from updated. I still have many old shows I have yet to see.

      It’s in the Yuri news/topics section.
      It’s both topics on the Yuri Awards.

  2. Ah thanks…

    BTW, I meant Alice not Alive but I guess you knew that >.<

    Any ways, going to check out that list…

    • Overlord-G says:

      In case some of them don’t make sense why I revere them so much, I’ve also reviewed them. The G-Views is my anime review page. 150 (Plus more to come) of anime goodness.

  3. Stevie Nix says:

    Madoka: “Hey, Shinji. Suck It!”

    Speaking of Madoka, I’m assuming you are planning to wait until the end of the current season before adding Lagrange, Pirates, Symphogear, etc to the list.

    I was wondering, was this only going to be an anime only list, or were you thinking about adding manga/light novels too? The manga versions of Hidamari Sketch and K-On might just boost both series each one grade. A couple of the Blue Drop manga series, especially the first series, could possibly be Grade 1.

    Also when you consider the entirety of the Strike Witches cannon, not just the anime, the intensity might just increase to high due to the number of both cannon and implied couples.

  4. legacyhunter says:

    I wish Black Rock Shooter is high XD and that K-on is medium lol XD
    But i guess hints aren’t bad o 3o
    and i never thought there are so many (le electric shock )
    Is Gai Rei Zero awesome to watch? o3o

    • Overlord-G says:

      I plan on reviewing Ga-Rei Zero eventually. Stay tuned for that.
      K-ON’s yuri is hardly noticeable and not enough to send our radar skyrocketing to orbit.
      BRS TV has to finish before I make my final decision. 2 episodes aren’t enough to confirm this. Also that rating is for the OVA, not the TV anime.

  5. ~Nokaei~ says:

    Please add Zero No tsukaima I think it is Grade 4: In short, it’s mostly fanservice. However, there are SOME minor exceptions that are merely missing something special to catapult them to Grade 3.
    because http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50hGyruoyBQ

  6. ~Nokaei~ says:

    please add Nanoha series season1-3 +movie 2 medium I think maybe degree Grade 2: Secondary Genre. Yuri isn’t the main focus but it does play a very important role.
    I think so

    • Kyouko says:

      Definitely should add Nanoha. NanoFate is actually stated to be canon by the writers and the voice actresses, soooo….

  7. ~Nokaei~ says:

    I think add Aria season1-3 +ova low.
    my opinion is level grade2

  8. Overlord-G says:

    @Nokaei: I know all too well of Nanoha’s greatness but I need to finish the show myself, along with the others you mentioned. Since I don’t have plans on watching Zero no Tsukaima, I’ll add it anyway as a fan request.

  9. gfcgamer says:

    Most of this list is Great Animes!

    Dedicated history, or good plot or great characters, I love them.
    I saw most of the list above.
    While people out there are watching Shonen animes, I find myself in this whole new universe, of wider mind perception and beauty.

    Almost 35 y.o. and yet huge fan of these animes.
    In memory of the great Kimura of Azumanga Daioh!

    See ya.

    • Overlord-G says:

      Stay tuned as there will be more shows coming in the near future. This list has a non-existent motto: If it has noteworthy yuri, it’ll make the list.
      Thanks for stopping by and the comment dood.

      As for the shounen anime comment, shounen isn’t my favorite genre (Possibly my least favorite for the moment) but that’s not saying the genre sucks as there are some non-action oriented shounen out there that I’ve greatly enjoyed.

  10. B says:

    What about IS (Infinite Stratos)?

    • Overlord-G says:

      This only applies to shows I’ve seen so far. I haven’t, nor have any interest in watching IS at the moment. But if I were to guess, it’d probably be Grade 4 yuri, with it being a harem and all.

  11. Shin says:

    What anime is the picture titled “Madoka and her two lovers” called?

  12. selena says:

    Do you know if their’s any upcomming yuri animes???

    • Overlord-G says:

      Grade 1 Yuri anime? Not sure. Any of the other grades? Plenty. Saki season 2, Railgun season 2, Hyperdimension Neptunia (Hopefully) and there’s currently (Fall 2012 season), Jormungand season 2, Seitokai no Ichizon season 2, Hidamari Sketch season 4. There was also Sengoku Collection in the Spring and Summer that I’ve yet to mention here. Dog Days season 2 is another one.

      Keep in mind, these aren’t 100% yuri shows but there’s (will be) definitely yuri to be found in them.

  13. selena says:

    Thank you so much i’ll keep that in mind.

  14. Overlord-G says:

    Minor update: Rinne no Lagrange has been promoted to Grade 3 after much consideration.

  15. B says:

    Could you divide the anime(s)? I have a hard time finding 26 episodes yuri anime(s). If not, please list it here?

  16. Ante says:

    Girls und Panzer is this season Grade 5…
    When the tank battle over, the subtext take over… :D

  17. Alurcian says:

    Overlord-G, is there more stories about Yuri or this is the only you found because I’m a fan to this Yuri stories so can you search for more? Sorry if this is too much, It’s actually because I’m a fan of Yuri and it makes me feel better to watch them romancing each other. Thanks if you are searching more for them and please find which categorized them as grade 1.

    • Overlord-G says:

      Unfortunately, these are the only Grade 1 shows out right now. Do give the other grades a try. However, if you REALLY need Grade 1 stories, then manga is where it’s at.

  18. Elizabeth says:

    Do you consider Maria Holic a yuri anime? I don’t know if you’ve already mentioned it (I read through the list many times.) I’m no big anime fan, but I am definitely a fan of girl-girl loving so I was just curious as to whether you’d consider it yuri or not.

    • Overlord-G says:

      It’s a Grade 3 show (apparently) according to my sources but I haven’t posted it because I haven’t seen it yet. Hmm, it looks like I will have to update my anime list ahead of schedule.

  19. Jay says:

    You’ve done well, dear.

  20. Alurcian says:

    Thanks, at least you search for new one like it have more seasons or episodes(Yuri). Just a last request (^_^). If you can find them but if you can’t that’s okay, I’ll try the other grades.

  21. Alurcian says:

    Overlord-G, I found a video on youtube of Yuri probably Grade 1 and the ones already you have it on Grade 1, please search them if you have spare time. You’re the one whose professional on this right? Here’s the video demo or whatever it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ee77AHnOjE.

    • Overlord-G says:

      Most of them are already on the list and in their respective Grades. Unfortunately, none of them are new. So far, the Grade 1 shows on the list are currently the only ones. There are some on the video I haven’t mentioned in my list but none of those are Grade 1 either.

      Let me explain in more detail what Grade 1 means. Grade 1 shows are those that you know are all about yuri. You don’t have to look up anything online. no subplots, no surprise yuri. The show is mainly about yuri. So far, the ones in the Grade 1 list are the only ones right now.

  22. niceguy says:

    Hey there dood. Are you watching Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai? Your yuri goggles might see something there. If you blink fast enough. And even then it might only qualify as Grade 10 or lower =D

    In any case, yuri or not, it’s one of the genuinely entertaining shows of the season so you should give it a try.

    • Overlord-G says:

      It’s on my schedule Brainy. I have a lot of backtracking to do, so the Winter 2012-2013 review will be delayed as I focus more on the Summer and Fall 2012 shows I’ve recently missed. Chuunibyou’s one of them.

      • niceguy says:

        And while you’re at it, add my top anime of the season, Psycho-Pass. There’s a yuri mini-arc and a suspected yuri relationship (if I interpreted a certain scene correctly) between two of the major characters.

        If you need more motivation, it’s written by Urobuchi Gen, whose other famous work you might be familiar with =D

  23. Alurcian says:

    I’m confused now, I searched them but it kinda ruin everything(with the males there disturbing). Hmmmm, I can’t find real Yuri(Real Lover) on google but yours… yes… there are quite real lovers but on the other grades it makes me uncomfortable to watch. Even there are comedy and other genre I forgot to mention here, I think Yuri got into my head again. Anyway, thanks for everything Overlord-G (^_^).

    • Overlord-G says:

      Nobody said it was easy finding couples in the Grade 2 and lower shows. Some of them you need to endure male interference, but most of the Grade 2 shows still have a great focus on yuri but it’s not THE main focus.

      Basically, the lower the grade (1-5) the more you’ll need to endure for yuri.

  24. Alurcian says:

    How did they make those anime? I want to make one, using the program on my laptop(If THERE is this program) but the bad thing is I can’t find this program. Can anyone help me find it and sorry Overlord-G for this comment of needing help in finding this program. I need this program because of my club, we’re going to make an anime of Yuri. (^_^)

  25. Alurcian says:

    Well, I guess it’s drawing then. I was so sure there this kind of program but thanks for responding and B, I can’t reach that web but thanks and I will retry it again later. It’s worth a try finding the easy way out but I guess there’s no other way.

  26. Elizabeth says:

    Do you happen to know this one Hentai (pardon the messiness of my explanation) in which this young girl goes to a Catholic boarding school and there’s rape and whatnot with the nuns and the priest (also there’s something to do with her mother) , but I believe there’s two scenes where the main character makes love (no raping here) to another girl. I’ve seen the scenes before and even once had found the whole thing I believe, but that was a long time ago and since then have had no luck in finding it. Sorry for the long and messy explanation, but if you happen to have even the slightest clue that’d be great. Also I guess it would be a Hardcore Hentai from what I remember. Thanks.

      Also I believe one the girls’ name is Rachel. Thanks again.

        No worries friend. I’m not much of a hentai person anymore. Shoujo Sect and the Sono Hanabira OVA are the only ones worth my time these days. Basically I’ll only watch a hentai fully if it’s entirely yuri. No het scenes.

        I suppose you could visit Yurizone.tumblr.com and see if you can find the scene you’re looking for there.

    • Overlord-G says:

      Hmm, there’s a hentai game called Yukkuri Panic: Escalation that fits your description.
      If it isn’t a game, there’s Anal Sanctuary, Cream Lemon: Escalation, Crimson Climax, Holy Virgins, Sin Sorority. Hope one of these is the one you’re looking for.

      • Elizabeth says:

        I’ve seen Cream Lemon: Escalation and its similar but not quite it. I’ve looked through these and I don’t think they are the one I’m looking for, but thanks for the suggestions of what it might’ve been. I guess maybe you might not know of/have watched it since there’s rape and also there was a male involved in one of the scenes (trust me, I don’t like rape and I wasn’t watching it to see the guy get it on) but then again, for me it is very difficult to find any decent lesbian hentai scenes.
        Also in my quest to find it, I came across a (hentai) scene involving a girl who clearly was a lesbian and she was about to make love to this one girl but (the clip) ended before they did anything. As for this one, I’d love to see more but the clip was in Japanese and I had no clue of what they were saying and there were no subtitles. So, sucks for me. Anyways, sorry for the long post and thanks again for the help.

    Thank you for the information,I already watch a few of them a specialy Blue Drop,Kannazuki no Miko,Strawberry Panic and also Yami to bōshi hono to bibito,but still don’t know the intensity,and thank you for the list I’ll search for the others

  28. Whats up very cool site!! Guy .. Excellent .. Wonderful .
    . I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also? I’m satisfied to find numerous helpful information right here in the publish, we need work out extra techniques on this regard, thank you for sharing. . . . . .

  29. Yukio Hazama says:

    OG-Sama how about Space Pirate Sarah,are they a Yuri too?

  30. Yukio Hazama says:

    OG-Sama What is SN?,I still doesn’t get it?,

  31. Yuriscout says:

    I suggest taking a look into an anime called tactical roar unfortunately I watched a long time ago so I can’t confirm its level of content but the first sign of it is in episode 4 I think.

  32. April says:

    Well I don’t want to get flamed, but what about later seasons of Sailor Moon? Uranus and Neptune are out loud and proud lesbians. It’s probably grade 4 or so though. Lots of fandom feel there’s a connection between Sailor Saturn and Chibi-usa as well.

  33. Rei says:

    Haha, only Marimite would be the one anime that would have yuri as the main driving…”subtext”. That anime just screamed yuri every where. Yet at the same time… it didn’t.

  34. Star says:

    I didn’t see Kurau Phantom Memory on your list. I may have overlooked it but if you haven’t seen it, I definitely suggest it. Don’t know where it will fall on your list but it’s a very good watch.

  35. alurcian says:

    Overlord-G, do you even know about Yuri? If you upload a Yuri anime hentai version without male or dildos interference I’ll be glad because when there is interference of males and dildos, it’s an insult to us pure Yuri. Me and my GF was almost near to our first time romantic sleepover when we put on Yuri hentai anime but those other grades beside grade one disturb our moment and I didn’t have the chance. So please erase those evil fake Yuri hentai version which I mentioned just now. I thought you know which is Yuri OG and I also recommended my other friends to search your anime lists for some Yuri according to their taste of course but I was wrong to recommend them (sigh), I can’t find other websites about pure Yuri or those are just for male as their toy (T_T)

    • Overlord-G says:

      You are questioning my validity as a yuri fan…because of hentai…of all things…hentai…

      First of all, I noticed the mistake I made in the Hentai portion of my explanation. In the Softcore explanation, I should have replaced the word “men” with “toys”. My mistake.

      http://www.shoujoai.com/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=36702

      Follow this link and you will find every single yuri hentai scene, so far, described in full (Even non-h scenes where the girls are just kissing or fondling each other.) Most of them (I have seen them all), are less than 3 minutes. Like I told you before, hentai with ONLY yuri in them are rare.

  36. Alurcian says:

    Then, I’m sorry dood. I was depressed because she left me but let’s just say I need you to replace those softcore and hardcore or just erase them. I think all editors are male in making those ‘H’ version (sigh) and I think a few of us ‘Yuri kind’ also want to sleep with their couple you know. Anyway thanks for the website link and please pray for me that she and I will be reconciled.

    • Overlord-G says:

      There’s also a love guru on that site named Kazu-Ichi if you need advice. Also, I am not the one you should be asking about hentai quality. As for your personal problems, I do not know much about it and would rather not know because I do not like getting involved in personal issues. However, I do wish you luck with reconciling if that means anything.

  37. elle says:

    You have to see Kurau phantom memory, to me it’s one of the best yuri I’ve ever watched. .no explicit content but their bond is deep & evident as day. A great anime ♥. Also I don’t think El Cazador should be graded as 2 (personally I feel it’s grade 1)
    I think hack://sign, bakuretsu tenshi and madlax should make the list

    • Overlord-G says:

      KPM is on my schedule as of now. The reason El Cazador is Grade 2 is because the yuri does not become explicit until the halfway point. Also, for a show to be Grade 1, the yuri has to be advertised from the start, not revealed later on.

      Oh? I have not added any of the three shows you mentioned. I’ll take care of it soon.

  38. OKC says:

    Heya, I was wondering if you knew of an anime similar to the buildup of Strawberry Panic, I loved the anime from start to finish and was wondering if there was anything similar/really close to it.

    • Overlord-G says:

      Define the buildup you’re looking for. I suppose one of the Grade-1 and Grade-2 anime may have the kind you want to see but I need more data.

      • OKC says:

        I loved the tension between Shizuma and Nagisa, and how Nagisa came to love and understand Shizuma, there was a lot of romance and passion between all the characters (not a lot of sex or nudity) but I felt compelled to continue watching each episode. I suppose its also similar to the Kashimashi: Girl meets Girl anime, how after Hazumu changes he/she begins to feel more love and compassion from everyone else around them.

        I think to best describe what I’m looking for is a relationship buildup, introduced to a brand new character in a new area (school, home etc) and they fawn over someone, and its not instantaneous love between characters, but it builds up over time until the last couple of episodes where they kiss (or more). And throughout the entire plot you’re thinking, will they work out or not.

        Its a lot to ask hehe. Sorry for this

    • Overlord-G says:

      Simoun, El Cazador de la Bruja, Blue Drop, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Mouretsu Pirates, Chu-Bra, Red Garden, Those should put a smile on your face, for now.

  39. GNS says:

    I believe you should add Ebiten to grade 4 or 5. If it’s already in this list sorry, but I don’t see it.

  40. Chess says:

    You can put Psycho pass on the list since it shows clearly in the last episode that they have a yuri couple in the story. Even if they have a very little scenes between them LOL well but the story are very worth watching it though.

    • Overlord-G says:

      So I have recently heard. I’ll put it on the list after reviewing the show. It’ll probably get a Grade-3. I’ll post it there for now and make possible changes after the review.

  41. B says:

    Excuse me, is Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls yuri?

  42. Subarashikun says:

    wow such accuracy on Yuri levels I’m impressed ^_^

  43. Lena K. says:

    First of all what a great list, you’ve already helped me out with this quite a lot ;)
    I also have a question. Maria Holic is listed in here but it seems you haven’t written a review about this yet, so I assume you haven’t watched this show. But if you have then I’d like to know, do you think this is an “Anti-yuri” show? I was asked this just recently and I think it is, yet it doesn’t bother me much, so I would like to hear your opinion.
    And sorry if I ask this in the wrong place, but I couldn’t find a review about this yo yeah…

    • Overlord-G says:

      Stay tuned near the end of this season for there will be some updates.

      I do have plans to take a look at Maria Holic someday but I do not know when. From what I’ve heard, the opinion is mixed. Some, like you, do not mind the show’s humor, while others consider it to be disgraceful and homophobic.

    a mighty fine list you have there.
