So far life has been SUPER busy it is ridiculous. I have changed my major and I am still keeping a concentration in Journalism but I am dropping it as a minor in order to pursue a double major in Japanese and International Studies.
I am on a site known as Voice Hollywood thanks to my friend Rachelle who I've known off youtube for a good long while. Rachelle was recently declared the Singing AX Idol Winner of 2011 at this years Anime Expo Convention. She and I have decided to watch all the first episodes of the new anime season excluding sequels. So I will be updating posts on what I think of the anime from the first episode. (I am writing as I am watching) There will be spoilers below so deal.

| Yuru Yuri Characters |
Yuru Yuri
Yuru Yuri scared me a bit with how loud it is. Upon seeing the "Yuri" in the name I connected it with Yuri (girl x girl) and I was a bit hesitant. When watching the anime I was alarmed cause the blonde haired girl was obsessed with underwear and upon entering the room of Akari's sister there is definite alarm. I mean dude.... this was sketch. It was like Akari's sister is obsessed with her sister in a sexual way. HOW CREEPY! Only 4 minutes in and I'm turned off from this anime. Apparently Blonde chick's name is Kyoko, and black Haired Chick's is Yui-Chan.
Annnnd we have 3 stereotypical characters: Akari the over-hyper girl who wants something more and is impractical having to be rescued by her friends often and is super naive and innocent (as shown in this episode seriously) Kyoko- the hyperactive almost odd blonde haired chick. She reminds me of the American girl, Tina, in Ai Yori Aoshi with the odd tendency to grab people's boobs which she has just done to Yui-chan. Yui Chan- seems like Japan from Hetalia, very soft-spoken and motherly like and the most sensible one of the group. I think I like her best because I like the stereotype the best. Then we are introduced to our last protagonist: Chinatsu, a overly cute girl who has quickly captured the attention of the club and will probably lead to a weird love triangle between Kyoko and Yui. It is almost scary how alike Akari and Chinatsu is and the Anime is quick to point this out and show that for some reason our protagonist Akari has lost her spot to Chinatsu.
P.S. this was the second time writing this review.... first time firefox crashed and I blame Yuru Yuri

VERDICT: NO
I will not be watching this anime again. Rachelle can attest that my number one reaction was "wtf" this anime is all over the place seemingly trying to decide to be about Slice of Life or not and the characters are stereotypical and somewhat plain annoying. I like the animation style but overall as a show I don't like that at all. It seems like weird and off and I am sure this has been done before and done much better. The show came off as creepy and too concentrated on sexual weirdness between girls for them being in junior high with Kyoko and Akari's sister.... I really don't want to know what the heck will happen with this.P.S. this was the second time writing this review.... first time firefox crashed and I blame Yuru Yuri
