Can we have a thread about older yuri anime?
No one ever talks about anime like pic related which is my absolute favorite.

All new anime is 100% moe, where did the hot blooded girl-kissers and lesbian rapists go?

What do you mean by 100 percent moe? That recent anime about lesbian magical girls is literally hard-core bdsm wtf?

I'd argue that MahoAko is moe. They purpose contrast the moe with the BDSM

Moe has basically always been the keyword for "dislike" since the logic is if you like it it's not Moe and if you don't like it it's Moe, look at Touhou fans as an example of that.

I will to this day defend this mess of an everything. This scene blew me away when I was a child.

I get why people like Utena (no idea what people like about Anthy) but really all I want is for Juri to rape Shiori into submission.

There's already a thread that basically serves this function >>4368270 but I appreciate Simoun on the catalog
To this day Simoun is one of the strangest and most depressing things I've ever seen in any medium

A genuine difference between them aesthetically is that Simoun has more genuinely shoujo-esque flourishes to its designs (which makes sense since it got a Yuri Hime manga when the audience was overwhelmingly female) but both are very neotenous & fall into "otaku moe" territory; hell there's even loli in Simoun. But OP said
>where did the hot blooded girl-kissers and lesbian rapists go?
so they were clearly referring to a sliding scale of "badass" to "infantilized cuteness" and MahoAko is definitely not a very "uguu" series. Yeah it has cute big-eyed designs but I saw someone make the point, and agreed, that MahoAko has Futaro Yamada novels in its historical DNA - specifically the "erotic ninja" elements that influenced people like Toshio Maeda. At one point this tradition leaked into magical girls with stuff like Twin Angels (sharing staff members with La Blue Girl and citing Maeda as an influence). Might sound far-fetched but you'll notice this with MahoAko's very seinen approach to non-consensual sadomasochism mixed with magical powers. Yeah the author's a yuri & magical girl otaku but only focusing on that misses one significant piece of the puzzle that's also part of what makes it not feel excessively "moeblobby" & also "edgier".

Older shows have been discussed to death since before you were born. And we in fact still get discussion every now and then when someone decides to watch them.

She's a bad bitch underneath her meek exterior. See: everything she did to Nanami.

She's a terrible person who slept through half the cast, including and especially her brother, because he told her to.

Simoun was 100% moe designs what are you talking about

Also everyone was watching Strawberry Panic at the time and nobody cared about Simoun, partially because Simoun subs were weeks behind.

I eventually marathoned it and it was okay. Some cool ideas but poor execution that just leaves you not feeling whatever the writer intended. Like whatsherface's "funeral" in the flower field, like they really wanted you to care but it was kind just "eh okay that's nice for her I guess"

Maybe the designs were not "gritty" but suicide bombings and war crimes aren't moe.

Moe is not a thematic, is an artstyle (or character archetype if you go back far enough).

That's why I said this before: >>4384222

People are just using Moe in a derogatory way for series they don't like or some similar nonsense (like saying that YuruCamp or Bocchi the rock are not "moe") always making excuses to justify their own tastes.
