Thank you for clearing that up; I honestly had no idea what you tried to say, and why you've quoted me. English is not my native language, so there's moments when I struggle with understanding and/or getting my point across.
Oh, and I envy you so much, that you do not get ear-cancer when you listen at those voices. Really, I'll have a hard time trying to get used to those.
Well, here's to (hopefully) one good Yuri-Anime! I hope someday, there's one good Yaoi-Anime too, but I guess Free is as far as we can get with that, huh?
Ikuhara said in one interview, that he wants to set new standards for Yuri Anime. And if somebody can do that, then Ikuhara.

Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And there I thought, he couldn't deliver anything even sappier. Maybe he's working on a full-fledged soap-opera?
He added that he wants to make a work that is more enjoyable, more beautiful, and more further beyond any work he has made so far.

No.
Jun Maeda is a writer/composer, best known for his magnum opus Clannad/Clannad: After Story.
He helped write the scenarios for a bunch of Visual Novels in the beginning of the 00s, which ended up with their own anime adaptations: Kanon, Air, Clannad, and Clannad: After Story, although he did the vast majority of the writing for the Clannad franchise.
Clannad is very much recommended by most people, with its sequel series, After Story, being almost required viewing if you're into anime (it's currently ranked at #4 all-time in My Anime List). It's basically a slice-of-life anime for people who don't particularly care for slice-of-life anime. After being wowed by those two, I checked out Kanon, but clocked out at around the 11th episode because it just got overly emotionally manipulative and uguuu to justify continuing.
His works are generally known to run the gamut of emotions; from light and funny, to sad and depressing. The thing is, when his shows are funny, they're fucking hilarious. When they're sad, they're fucking soul-crushing.
Basically, the dude is a drug dealer for Feels 'r Us.

That doesn't sound like shit lol. Yea Clanned is on my to watch list.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever
There's nothing wrong with that. ANN dominates English language anime news coverage almost like monolithic public broadcasting company dominated news in USSR. There are some other decent and semi-decent anime sites like Japanator (which I stopped visiting about 2 years ago after hideous site redesigns) but they're in no way superior to ANN in news coverage nor are they anywhere near as extensive. These days I only browse Shitkaku on the side for lowbrow yellow pages sensationalism and other pseudo-news that don't warrant attention of actually "serious" news site.
Of course I could always link news to any number of Japanese news matome sites I browse semi-regularly or yaraon which I browse regularly but why bother in 99% of cases when ANN will be on the case typically within couple of hours and will do your work for you? Most users here can't read moon.
I'm pretty sure gentlemen don't lick dripping honey from flowers in vulgar fashion. Nor do they lust after 2D girls because they're "antiseptic". (I love the new story PV for Yuri Kuma Arashi nevertheless. GAU GAU NISHISHISHI seiyuu in particular is hilarious.)
Easy test for this feature without seeing a single frame. Is it under hour long? It'll be good beyond wallpapers. Is it longer than hour? Snapshot some wallpapers for yourself and do your best to forget everything else.

You know you can appreciate yuri without it being sexual right? in fact unlike yaoi its more 60/40 on non-sexual to sexual in terms of content.
But that is a discussion for elsewhere plus whenever i talk about anything with you arguments start so i'll leave it at that.

Uhh, that comment was about wonderful flamboyant guy named Kunihiko Ikuhara. Ikuhara is many things and there's no denying he's fond of fem-fem romances for variety of reasons but CAP's suggestion Ikuni somehow stands back chastely in contrast to otaku animator wankers who do "yuri" shit only for their own boners is idealized to say the least.
Also there's no way in hell Yuri Kuma Arashi won't be forcefully sexualized which should be clear from the newest trailer at latest with innuendo less subtle than Freud holding a cigar and asking if it reminds you of anything. Even aside sexualized closeups of girls licking lily (yuri) the narration about "delicious girls to eat" is hardly subtle as far as haw haw I see what you did there Ikuni tier double entendres go.
Of course being at all familiar with official art released so far makes the idea this series is going to be some sort of Victorian high-brow gentlemanly take on "love that dares not speak its name" truly hilarious. Ikuni has always been something of a pervert (the ridiculous antisepticness comment comes from discussion with Anno from late 90s) and if anything he's revving up the motor now that he's getting older.
Well you do seem fond off reading into my posts ideas I didn't actually express more often than not. This though is innocious misunderstanding and I think above should make it clear I'm talking about Ikuni/YuriKuma specifically here. Certainly you can do lesbian romances in anime in quite few ways - though use of word yuri instead of shoujo ai or more formally Class S fiction does imply pretty strong openly sexual component just like yaoi technically speaking is term for straightforward male-male pornography instead of catch all word for gay intimations in anime.

OK no, shoujo-ai is a made up word that americans decided to create because "herp-derp shounen-ai is a thing so shoujo-ai must be a thing too!", a literal translation has something to do with loli love, yuri is the umbrella term regardless of NSFW or not, i wish people would stop getting that wrong.
As for the official art...........that's just morishima being morishima, she likes to draw ecchi situations a lot.
Yeah the fact that its endorsed might play a factor but you don't know this artist, i actually do and based on previous experiences she is just doing it because she can, she would have drawn this regardless of an official endorsement or not.

Looking at Japanese wiki you're right. I stand corrected. (Remembering "Yuru Yuri" should've been enough of a clue, gehh ).
Speaking of KyoAni they're premiering magnificent Brass-On!! next spring.
