Truly one of the most blatant use of yuri ever. Well, to be fair at least they don't shy away from the kisses unlike say Vividred Operation.

Still skeptical as heck.

That's some of the hottest yuri I've seen, this is what Senran Kagura should've had. I say yes to the anime, yes to the console game (if not a VN, Valkyrie Drive can make a great action game), and no to the mobile cash grab, Takaki or not I don't want to spend any money on F2P mobile games.

My penis tells me to watch it when it airs. And why shouldn't I listen to my penis? (Arms also has a good track record of penis pleasing, so this should be good for what I want)

First thing I see is girl with giant gauntlets. I'm sold beyond belief. Female pugilists are awesome as hell. Not too set on yurism but giant gauntlets will balance that out, imo.


Enormous breasts producer: Kenichirō Takaki

So, just found a title that I want on my resume badly.. bravo, just bravo.

No.
Just no. Anime hyper

Cross Ange is trashy in places, but it's actually pretty tasteful.

Senran Kagura creator Kenichirō Takaki and Hiraku Kaneko (Maken-Ki! Battling Venus 2, The Qwaser of Stigmata, Manyū Hiken-chō) are helming the project.

ANN wrote:
Kaneko is directing and designing characters for the Valkyrie Drive -Mermaid- television anime at the studio ARMS.

Boy, oh boy. I can feel the Yuri Ecchi genres oozing outta this one. ("Director! We've lost Plot Engine #3", "I see... Increase Boob Juggle to level 4 for 22 minutes and add Panty Shot to the fuel injection. We WILL reach new heights", "YES SIR!").

When I saw the PV, I thought of Yuri Kuma Arashi; Yuri scenes aside, they both have girls transforming to other things (in Yuri it is to bears, in here it is to a weapon), and this ->
ANN's short description about the game's story wrote:
In the game's story, female characters run across the mysterious artificial island Siren. The girls utilize their unique abilities and fight against fate to maintain their way of life.

Of course, expecting a Ikuhara Kunihiko level of symbolism and storytelling is most likely a fallacy, so the similarities to Yuri Kuma Arashi end here.
