I liked Strawberry Panic! a lot. Also, you don't have Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~ on your list. Also, this may be considered a request thread. Just to let you know, this might be shut down in the near future. Personally, I don't see much wrong with it, if it's like a listing of different shoujo-ai you like. But, just don't be surprised if it suddenly poofs out of existence.

Also, unless you mean you like nudity in your anime, you'd probably be better off using the term, "shoujo-ai" instead of "yuri". Yuri implies more adult (sometimes hentai-esque) content, whereas shoujo-ai merely means, "love between girls".

Welcome to the forums by the way.

That is not entirely true, actually. You may want to consider reading What is Yuri by Erica Friedman regarding the origins of both terms. Using yuri is perfectly acceptable in this situation (although the ANN lexicon suggests otherwise...)

Yes, those titles you cannot consider Yuri, here is the lexicon entry for the term Yuri, and here is the lexicon entry for shoujo-ai. You can also look up various anime titles within the ANN Encyclopedia.

And just in case you were asking for recommendations, you would want to go here.

Some people differentiate between 'yuri' and 'shoujo ai', but many of us just use yuri to refer to girl x girl in general regardless of how explicit it is.

Yes, it's less confusing that way. At least for me anyway.

I'm wondering what people do with the term "yaoi"? I use the term in the explicit sense, with the shonen-ai in the other more mutual sense.

I use "yaoi" as a blanket term along with "yuri," and I'm sure many others do as well.

Geh, a yaoi fan berated me a few years ago for using "shounen-ai" the way you are. Apparently, the "correct" term for pictures of men in love with each other but not having explicit sex is BL. But who can really tell it all apart? I use yaoi as a blanket term now.

Yes indeed, this isn't much more than a listing / recommendation thread, so I have to shut it down. You might also try checking here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28animation%29

There's a pretty good list of series on that page.
