I'm very glad I was able to bring some new media to people to get interested in with my post, bcs I am also huge fan of both, the Roadside Picnic and Parties Are For Losers !

I do agree with you that every of this medias are taking The Zone concept and turning it into something their own and unique is incredibly interesting, there is something like a base, but The Zone is kinda of a sandbox, and I find it cool how differently people can interpret it based on what story they want to tell...!

Like The Zone originally created by Strugatsky brothers is dangerous, but more in the form of a natural disaster than something living or conscious. Although Zone is dangerous, even scary beyond human comprehension, it still brings people hope that the gifts of the Zone can and should be used for good.

I only recently started playing Stalker games and I enjoy them so much so far. The main difference between The Zone in Stalker and The Zone of the Strugatsky brothers is that it is Really Alive. Alive not only in the sense that it is inhabited (both living and dead, and mutants) but alive in the sense that it seems to have its own kind of Consciousness (C-Consiousness, you get it LOL), that tries to save itself at all cost.

While human mutants exist in Roadside Picnic originally, as you have noticed, Pafl takes this concept to the next level (I also really like that the Zone in Pafl is rather closer to the one of the Strugatskys, but everything mysterious and scary that is in The Zone is united in one person - Dr. Temnova), I also like how Pafl is about humans more than it is about The Zone, like the way it is in Roadside Picnic book. So yeah !

I haven't read much of the Otherside Picnic honestly, maybe I will pick up this story later, but it also makes some interesting points, like I really liked the "Otherside" kinda of pun, because unlike the other Zone takes, that "place" isn't actually some kind of anomalous zone of planet Earth, but rather something completely out of our world. That's very interesting.

These R Very Funny Tags I Got Here But Maybe Consider It As A Sign To Read Roadside Picnic!!! IT'S Very

these r very funny tags I got here but maybe consider it as a sign to read roadside picnic!!! IT'S very GOOD and is actually pretty interesting plus the writing style and narration as well as the plot in general still feels quite modern, this book is not only interesting and makes you think a lot, it is also very relatable

and well

a bit queer if you ask me

like I can see WHY otherside picnic was based on roadside picnic bcs it's gay as hell

also when you start finding references in inspired by roadside picnic medias they just become deeper and more fun IDK so yeah I recommend giving it a shot :D

finished the otherside picnic manga (what's available currently) and now forced to confront how I'll have to read the light novels if I wanna read more without waiting. How am I supposed to be normal about this series

It sounds like people like the light novels but idk if I should start from the beginning or start from where the manga leaves off if I read them.

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as of Oct 2022)

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

(For those not familiar with the term "yuri" (ē™¾åˆ), it is used to refer to anime, manga, light novels etc. which focus on the close relationships - often romantic - between female characters. However, as it is considered a genre in itself, the term is both looser and more restrictive than one might expect, e.g. a work concerned with platonic and not particularly intense relationships between female characters may still be considered "yuri" if it fits the genre tropes and/or if it is marketed as such.)

One day I thought it'd be good to have a masterlist of yuri anime which included commentary on the show, to give people a better idea of what might appeal to them (or what to be wary of). "It'll be easy," I thought. "There aren't that many specifically yuri anime out there," I thought.

Turns out, 22 series may not be a lot if you're looking at all the anime out there, but it certainly doesn't feel that way if you have to write a proper entry for each one. Here it is, a list of all the anime which are specifically marketed as being yuri (i.e. labelled as such on Anime News Network), with commentary, in no particular order.

Edit: Added links to the corresponding Anime News Network and MyAnimeList pages!

At-a-glance list:

Revolutionary Girl Utena (39 episodes + 1 movie, 1997)

Bloom into You (13 episodes, 2018)

Maria-sama ga Miteru (39 episodes, 2004)

Kase-san (58-minute OVA, 2018)

Aoi Hana (11 episodes, 2009)

Otherside Picnic (12 episodes, 2021)

Details under the cut!

1. Revolutionary Girl Utena (39 episodes + 1 movie, 1997) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Okay, so this series was not actually marketed as being yuri, but itā€™s far too ubiquitous for me not to put it in this section. When she was a child, Tenjou Utena (Kawakami Tomoko) was saved by a passerby prince, so she decided that she too wanted to become a prince as an adult. Fast forward to high school, and she hasnā€™t forgotten that conviction: Utena gets sucked into a series of duels while trying to protect her best friendā€™s honour. After winning the first duel, she becomes ā€˜engagedā€™ to the eccentric ā€œRose Brideā€ Himemiya Anthy (Fuchizaki Yuriko), and the two start living together in the same dormitory.

First things first: there are a million content warnings for this series, including implied rape, sexual assault, incest, and homophobia. Although the issues are handled well (in my opinion), it does go to very dark places, so those wanting a light, fun anime to unwind to should look elsewhere. Second, this series is very much a psychological drama utilising the episodic duels as a way of hone in on Utenaā€™s opponents and their stories, so Utena and Anthyā€™s relationship ā€“ though important ā€“ is definitely not the focus of the anime. Third, the TV series is limited to hinting at the romantic relationship between Utena and Anthy, not to mention that they spend most of the series being little more than acquaintances rather than actual friends. The movie Adolescence (which can be taken as a retelling or sequel, depending on your perspective) is much more explicit on this front, but also suffers from a significantly shorter runtime and a much more opaque approach to storytelling.

That being said! If youā€™re okay with all of the above, this series is pretty much a must-watch. The simplistic premise belies a much more complex and nuanced story about gender roles, sexuality, and human relationships and remains one of the smartest anime ever made, over twenty years on.

2. Bloom into You (13 episodes, 2018) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Probably one of the slickest-looking yuri anime out there, Bloom into You is a beautiful, polished adaptation of a manga of the same name by Nakatani Nio. Main character Koito Yuu (Kanemoto Hisako), who hasnā€™t experienced romantic love before, thinks student council senior Nanami Touko (Kotobuki Minako) is the same way until Touko suddenly confesses to her. The story follows the two girlsā€™ trials and tribulations after that confession, and in particular how Yuu grows into her romantic feelings for Touko. The story can be messy at times but itā€™s got plenty of heart, and I really really love the other explicitly queer side characters ā€“ theyā€™re so good that this series is worth watching even if you donā€™t click with the main couple IMO.

3. Maria-sama ga Miteru (39 episodes, 2004) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

A list of yuri works would be incomplete without mentioning this genre-defining juggernaut of a series created by light novel author Konno Oyuki, which is responsible for reviving the Class S genre and ensuring that yuri was for a long time ā€“ and to a large extent still is ā€“ associated with genteel all-female schools and girls calling their older targets of affection ā€œonee-samaā€. It starts with the elegant and aloof Ogasawara Sachiko (Itou Miki) inviting the main character Fukuzawa Yumi (Ueda Kana), an ordinary junior from the year below, to become her ā€œpetite sœurā€ (ā€œlittle sisterā€, essentially a mentee), but branches out into more of a slice-of-life ensemble piece looking at Yumi and her friends and the various ā€œsœurā€ pairs of the prestigious Lilian Girlsā€™ Academy. Due to the ā€œsœurā€ system, there is a whole fleet of F/F ships to pick from, but do note that only one character out of the very large cast is overtly queer.

Personally, I found the anime a bit dull, but the light novels and drama CDs were much more to my taste. Either way, anyone with an interest in the history of yuri as a genre should definitely check this series out in one way or another.

4. Kase-san and Morning Glories (58-minute OVA, 2018) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

The popular manga by Takashima Hiromi has sadly never received the full anime treatment, but at the very least thereā€™s an OVA which adapts part of the story. The OVA starts with two high school sweethearts having recently entered into a relationship together, but Yamada Yui (Takahashi Minami), the timid one of the pair, is plagued with doubts over her relationship with the sporty Kase Tomoka (the eponymous ā€œKase-sanā€; Sakura Ayane). Famous for being teeth-rottingly sweet.

5. Aoi Hana (11 episodes, 2009) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Despite the somewhat misleading OP, Aoi Hana is a character-focused slice of life show about lesbian high schooler Manjoume Fumi (Takabe Ai), her crush on the prince-like Sugimoto Yasuko (Ishimatsu Chiemi), and her coming out to her childhood best friend and first love Okudaira Akira (Gibu Yuko). You might be wary as this anime is an adaptation of a series by queen of messy LGBTQ-related manga Shimura Takako, but the story ends before it gets into the real melodrama, leaving viewers with an open but hopeful conclusion. The gentle pastels of the anime also look very nice IMO, itā€™s a great fit for Shimuraā€™s art.

6. Otherside Picnic (12 episodes, 2021) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Adapted from the ongoing light novel series by Miyazawa Iori, Otherside Picnic opens with college student (in a yuri anime! I know!) Kamikoshi Sorawo (Hanamori Yumiri) poking around in the supernatural ā€œOthersideā€ and nearly being killed by a monster for her efforts. Her rescuer is the gun-toting Nishina Toriko (Kayano Ai), a young woman who happens to attend the same university. Since Sorawo is deeply interested in urban myths and Internet creepypasta, she decides to team up with Toriko, who is trying to search her friend who went missing in the Otherside. Otherside Picnic draws on existing Japanese urban myths and the Russian SF novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, but is also, though nobody seems to mention it, very much influenced by certain parts of the massive Touhou franchise ā€“ specifically the exploits of Renko and Merry (Sorawo in particular is strongly reminiscent of Renko). Although the anime doesnā€™t adapt enough to get to the explicitly romantic aspects of their relationship and has been criticized for undermining the horror elements with cheap CG, it has been praised for its college-age leads (though you wouldnā€™t know that from the character designs) and genre fiction focus, which are unusual in yuri.

7. Simoun (26 episodes, 2006) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

In the original SF anime Simoun, viewers are introduced to the nation of Simulacrum, which is embroiled in a bitter war against two other nations. On the front lines of this conflict are the main characters, a group of under-seventeens who pair up to pilot Simulacrumā€™s mecha (the titular ā€œSimounā€). Itā€™s a bit of an interesting case because although it is known and marketed as a yuri anime, for the duration of the series, the majority of the cast are not known to be female ā€“ the pilots come from a species where they are born monogender (although the designs skew feminine, similar to the Asari in Mass Effect) and pick their preferred gender at the age of seventeen (honestly, this sounds like a very sensible system). Donā€™t worry though, since sources say that a bunch of the endgame pairs do end up being F/F. Actually Iā€™ve never watched this anime before as itā€™s known to be fanservice-heavy, but it does sound rather intriguing on paper.

8. Yuri Kuma Arashi (12 episodes, 2015) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Directed by Ikuhara Kunihiko of Sailor Moon and Utena fame and with character designs by prolific out yuri mangaka Morishima Akiko, Yuri Kuma Arashi is a surreal tale set in a world where bears can take on human form and are feared and reviled by the human population, who have constructed the ā€œWall of Severanceā€ to keep them out. Amidst this, main character Tsubaki Kureha (Yamane Nozomi) is a bear-hating human who finds out that two of her classmates ā€“ Yurishiro Ginko (Arakawa Miho) and Yurigasaki Lulu (Ikuta Yoshiko) ā€“ are actually bears in disguise. The anime is generally well-received, with critics praising its handling of homophobia, prejudice, and exclusion, but I personally felt that the series suffered from its length (it was by far the shortest of Ikuharaā€™s outings at the time) and heavy use of imagery and symbolism in place of character-building and narrative construction, so YMMV. Please also be warned of that thereā€™s some rather gratuitous fanservice, especially in the first few episodes. The three-volume manga of the same name by Morishima Akiko was good though ā€“ it uses the same premise but takes it in a very different direction!

9. Akuma no Riddle (12 episodes, 2014) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

A rare case of a yuri anime which manages to cover the entirety of the series it was based on, Akuma no Riddle is an adaptation of the manga written by Kouga Yun and drawn by Minakata Sunao. Assassin-in-training Azuma Tokaku (Suwa Ayaka) is exceedingly skilled but suffers from a career-ruining mental block: she canā€™t ever bring herself to land the killing blow, no matter how much she wants to. Tokaku is given the chance to prove herself by entering a girlsā€™ school battle royale where she is to compete with other young assassins to kill a certain target ā€“ the bafflingly ordinary-seeming Ichinose Haru (Kanemoto Hisako). On an impulse, the otherwise cold Tokaku swears to protect Haru from the others, and becomes her bodyguard. As with Maria-sama ga Miteru, the series comes with a lot of pre-packaged F/F pairs for your shipping pleasure, but only one pair is overtly romantic. (Also, I was very unlucky and latched onto a pair which happens to feature the only character who has a male love interestā€¦ RIP.) The story needed a bit more space to breathe IMO, but others have enjoyed it for the action, fun premise, and for being one of the few yuri anime that isnā€™t yet another high school coming-of-age romance.

10. Citrus (12 episodes, 2018) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

An adaptation of the hit manga by Saburouta, Citrus focuses on the tumultuous relationship between rule-breaking gyaru Aihara Yuzu (Taketatsu Ayana) and uptight student council president Aihara Mei (Tsuda Minami) ā€“ who, it turns out, is Yuzuā€™s new stepsister. It is controversial for its frequent depictions of non-consensual kissing and other physical contact, and for the generally melodramatic, titillating approach taken to the relationship between the two leads, but some queer women really love this series and Iā€™m not here to police, so here it is.

11. NTR: Netsuzou Trap (12 10-minute episodes, 2017) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

One of the most infamous yuri series out there, this is an adaptation of the manga by Kodama Naoko. Itā€™s essentially a daytime soap opera dressed up as a high school drama: Okazaki Yuma (Kakuma Ai) and Mizushina Hotaru (Igarashi Hitomi) are childhood friends who both have boyfriends but end up messing around with each other. Thereā€™s cheating, abusive boyfriends, toxic relationships, and melodrama galore ā€“ very rare for yuri anime. If you enjoy soap operas this might be just the thing, although thereā€™s probably more fanservice than normal.

12. Adachi to Shimamura (12 episodes, 2020) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Quiet slice-of-life series ā€œAdachi and Shimamuraā€ is an adaptation of an ongoing light novel series by Iruma Hitoma. The story depicts the everyday life of high school student Adachi Sakura (Kitou Akari) and her friend Shimamura Hougetsu (Itou Miku), who she has feelings for. Adachiā€™s feelings towards Shimamura are overtly romantic, but be warned that their relationship is more open-ended than in the light novels due to only the first few volumes being adapted. Received praise for its atmosphere-building, but this is tempered by there being a lot of fanservice throughout.

13. Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san (12 5-minute episodes, 2014) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

A series of vignettes adapted from the yonkoma (4-panel) manga by Kuzushiro, Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san is about the relationship between the dog-like cat-lover Inugami Yachiyo (Uesaka Sumire) and cat-like dog-lover Nekoyama Suzu (Toyama Nao). I havenā€™t seen it myself, but judging by the reception, itā€™s a good pick for those looking for a quick, fluffy watch.

14. Sasameki Koto (13 episodes, 2009) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

This adaptation of Ikeda Takashiā€™s manga follows high school student Murasame Sumika (Takagaki Ayahi), who has a crush on her female best friend Kazama Ushio (Takamoto Megumi). The twist is that she knows Ushio is into girlsā€¦ so whatā€™s the problem? Well, unfortunately for Sumika, Ushio canā€™t stop going on about how she likes very cute, ā€œfeminineā€ girls, and Sumika just doesnā€™t fit that type. And on a meta level, time is Sumikaā€™s worst enemy, because this is another case of the main couple not getting together by the end of the anime due to the limited runtime. The seriesā€™ scope extends beyond the romantic storyline, however, and touches upon homophobia and queer media (okay, yuri doujin). On the downside, a lot of the humour is dated, and a cross-dressing character is dealt with in a poor manner.

15. Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl (12 episodes, 2006) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Part of the 2006 yuri anime boom, Kashimashi is based on the manga by Akahori Satoru. The story starts with young boy Osaragi Hazumu (Ueda Kana) having a rather confusing day: after being rejected by his female classmate Kamiizumi Yasuna (Horie Yui), he is killed in a freak UFO accident, and then resurrected ā€“ albeit in a female body. The anime shows the gradual process of Hazumu coming to terms with the new body and becoming mixed up in a gentle love triangle with Yasuna and female childhood friend Kurusu Tomari (Tamura Yukari). Apparently itā€™s quite sweet despite the decidedly mid-2000ā€™s premise.

16. The Executioner and Her Way of Life (12 episodes, 2022) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

A twist on the usual isekai formula by light novel author Sato Mato, Executioner is centred on Menou (Saeki Iori), the eponymous Executioner tasked with eliminating with magically-gifted people from another world, i.e. isekai protagonists. One day, a routine job goes awry when Menou discovers that her target ā€“ a Japanese schoolgirl named Tokitou Akari (Kahara Moe) ā€“ has the ability to control time and thereby reverse her own death. Unwilling to let a person with such dangerous powers roam free, Menou joins Akari on a journey through the country, albeit one that ends before anything much happens ā€“ the anime adapts only the first two volumes of the ongoing light novel series. Also, somewhat surprisingly given the premise, the show is apparently an ensemble piece which focuses more on its world-building and action-packed plot, although Menou and Akariā€™s growing closeness does get some screen-time.

17. If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (12 episodes, 2020) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

One of only three series on this list which do not mention school at all (the others being Simoun and The Executioner and Her Way of Life, to my knowledge), OshiBudo is an adaptation of the ongoing manga by Hirao Auri where protagonist Eripiyo (Fairouz Ai) overworks herself at part-time jobs in the name of supporting her fave Ichii Maina (Tachibana Hina), the least popular member of already-unpopular local idol group ChamJam. Despite the uncomfortable implications of the initial setup, the anime dodges the most obvious pitfalls as Mainaā€™s relationship with Eripiyo is strictly that of idol and (overzealous) fan even until the end, and thereā€™s actually more of a focus on Eripiyo bonding with her idol fan friends (sadly all male). Obviously there is only subtext in this show, and not anything heavily hinted at that, but itā€™s not a bad thing in this case.

18. Kannazuki no Miko (12 episodes, 2004) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Ah, Kannazuki no Miko, adaptation of a manga by Kaishaku. Famed as a yuri classic, nobody told me that it was actually a mecha anime (!) with a third, male protagonist (!!) in which one half of the F/F couple weā€™re supposed to be rooting for rapes the other and the story just glosses over it (!!! - rage). And itā€™s a pity, because the premise is solidly of the mecha genre and therefore refreshingly different to the usual yuri fare! An ancient evil looms over Japan as the Orochi mecha pilots begin to awaken, forcing main character Kurusugawa Himeko (Shitaya Noriko) and her classmate and friend Himemiya Chikane (Kawasumi Ayako) to work together as the sun and moon priestesses to seal the threat away. Unfortunately, in practice, itā€™s mainly Himekoā€™s male childhood friend Oogami Souma (Majima Junji) doing the fighting, and the anime spends more time building up a budding (straight) romance between Himeko and Souma before the sudden pivot in the last few episodes ā€“ a pivot which is difficult to be happy about due to the sexual assault. Watch if youā€™re interested but be warned that it definitely has the problems of mid-2000ā€™s yuri and then some.

19. Strawberry Panic (26 episodes, 2006) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

An adaptation of the light novels by Kimino Sakurako, apparently this is basically Maria-sama ga Miteru done in a moe style and with fanservice. I donā€™t have any more to say as I havenā€™t watched it and the summaries donā€™t clarify much beyond it being a slice-of-life character drama set at a girlā€™s school (possibly multiple girlā€™s schools).

20. Fragtime (60-minute OVA, 2019) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

Fragtime adapts the manga by Sato about Moritani Misuzu (Itou Miku), a girl who can stop time for three minutes every day, and Murakami Haruka (Miyamoto Yume), a classmate who isnā€™t affected by Misuzuā€™s power. Audiences seem split between those who appreciated it as a slightly supernatural-driven coming-of-age romance and those who found it superficial and male-gazey (there is a very juvenile obsession with underwear).

21. Sakura Trick (12 episodes, 2014) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

This adaptation of a yonkoma manga by Tachi follows best friends Takayama Haruka (Tomatsu Haruka) and Sonoda Yuu (Iguchi Yuka) who, worried about drifting apart due to a change in the classroom seating, fall into a kissing-focused friends-with-benefits arrangement. Some find it sweet, others find it male-gazey, itā€™s a tale as old as time when it comes to yuri.

Bonus: Yuri is My Job! (upcoming anime) - Anime News Network | MyAnimeList

Yuri Anime Masterlist (as Of Oct 2022)

The recently-announced anime will adapt Mimanā€™s ongoing manga about Shirasagi Hime (Ogura Yui), a high school student who gets pressured into working at a yuri-themed cafĆ© where the waitstaff pretend to be students at a girlā€™s school who are in ambiguously gay relationships with each other. Hime is paired up with Ayanokouji Mitsuki (Uesaka Sumire), who plays the perfect onee-sama when working but hates Himeā€™s guts behind the scenes. Part human drama ā€“ like many a yuri series before it, the manga delves into the various characters inhabiting the cafĆ© rather than just Hime and Mitsuki ā€“ and part metatextual riffing on the yuri genre, this should be one to look out for.
