18. Happy Sugar Life

ewwwwwwwwwwww. this one. eugh. all i knew going in was that it was a psychological horror. but I dont think anything couldve prepared me for what the fuck I watched here. I mean I guess it succeeded at being a psychological horror, it messed with me good, but not in the way it wanted me to. for those who dont know. Satou, is a High schooler, and Shio, is a. younger then that. and Satou has an UNHEALTHLY Obession with Her, LEGIT KILLING MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND MANIPULATING OTHERS TO STAY AWAY FROM HER AND SHE KEEPS HER IN THE "Castle" THEY BUILT. AND THE ENDING OF THEM BOTH DECIDING TO DIE TOGETHER AND JUMPING OFF THE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY "Love eachother" OR WHATEVER IS JUST EUGHHHHHHH AND THEN SHIO HAD TO SURVIVE, SURE SHE GETS TO BE FREE BUT NOW SHE GOTTA LIVE WITH THE TRAUMA MAN. AND SHE MISSES SATOU LIKE MAN WHO MADE THIS. the two things i can say postively is like. it is sweet, i did go "aww" like 3 or 4 times but its still well... age gap. and it does succeed at being a psychological horror. but definitely not in the way it wanted. only watch this if you are genuinally curious enough. I could genuinally make a whole 30 minute video breaking down how awful this show is. And I might, who knows.

3/10.

17. Yurigami-sama Watches Over Us

this one barely even counts for this list, its literally a comic dub series on youtube, this shouldn't even count, but I figured, why not. Its about a yuri god and her devoted angel watching over and blessing yuri around the world. This would def rank higher, if it wasn't for two episodes. An episode with a.... Child and a Not Child, and Twins. Ew. Ew. Ew. Both in a row too, like genuinally what is the point of these. but besides that, its a sweet little comic dub series, you can find it for free on yt if you are curious enough.

16. Mononoke

first off, this one is pretty as fuck. I ADORE the animation and colors in this one, its a treat to the eyes. But besides that, my stupid monkey brain doesnt understand the story of this one, and considering how short it was, I couldnt really get too attached to the characters, which i didnt really a problem with before with other short ones, but I just didnt really care about anyone besides main duo of Asa and Kame somewhat. (I think that was them), everyone around them was pretty mean. I did like the Medicine seller guy, he was cool Ig. I did like the Contrast between Asa's story and the Villain's story, always love a good Parallel. If the movie visually interests you, I'd say give it a shot! but this one wasnt for me.

5/10

15. Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san

a pretty damn short one, but also kinda entertaining for what it is. Each character (besides Aki, I guess) representing a different animal, and the main two, Nekoyama liking Dogs, and acting like a cat, and Inugami liking cats, but acting like a dog is a cool parallel thats pretty fun. but this show just doesnt really have much of a well, story. its very clear its a pretty direct adaptation of its manga. but for what it is, its fine, just not enough here for me to truly care for it.

5/10

14. Revolutionary Girl Utena

the grandpappy of yuri! ...and it was just, fine. unlike Revue Starlight, I don't really see the hype behind this one. its pretty repititive, so many god awful characters (Nanami, Seonji, and ESPECIALLY Akio) there were characters I liked though (Utena, Anthe, Toga, Miki). but there's so much that either A, I'm dumb and didn't understand, or just wasn't explained well. Shows about Utena winning the Rose Bride, Anthy, and now protecting her title while trying to free Anthy from this role (i think). But overall, this show is just... fine. I way preferred the Movie, as Anthy feels WAY more like a character there, but I still dont know what was up with the car scene. If you wanna check this out, I can't stop you, but it wasnt for me.

5/10

13. Hina Logic: From Luck to Logic

apparently this one is a spinoff of another show I don't have to watch for this cause its not yuri. This is a fine show, but I don't understand quite alot of it, like theres a good ammount here that doesnt get explained at all. But I do like a good ammount of the characters, None are bad here. honestly the Intro was the most memorable thing about the show, aside from the one Kiss between Liones and Nina that doesnt really get any further development >:(. But if the show looks like it interests you, check it out IG. Girls getting cool powers and outfits from otherworldy people. Its a cute show.

6/10

12. If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die

what a show title. But this one was pretty interesting for what it ism with Eripiyo loving this Idol with Zero fans apart of this group, Maina, and since shes her only real fan, she began to crush on Eripiyo. Its a cute concept, but I feel like the anime (and this extends to what exists of the manga too) doesnt really go anywhere at all with this relationship, and they never actually make it to the budokan, false advertising. Weirdly enough, my favorite character wasnt either Eripiyo or Maina, it was Kumasa, the guy with Glasses. Dude was just a goat through the whole show and was so chill, He just wants to see his own favorite pop idol succeed, as he's been a fan of his own for years, and also helping Eripiyo a bit to support her own Journey. Dude is just a true friend. But besides that, I don't have much else to say on this one. Its just kinda fine.

11. The Vexations of a Shut In Vampire Princess

this one started out REALLY GOOD, with the first four episodes with the feud between Terakomari and her bully from school, acting SADISTIC AS FUUUUCK. But I do feel like the show kinda fell off after that. the next 4 episodes with the whole game battle and Sakuna was still pretty good, I liked that, but the final one going to the other kingdom, I just.. didn't like. it sucked IMO. kinda brought the whole show down. the idea of Terakomari getting insane fucking powers anytime she drinks blood, is good, and her not even knowing every time she does it is interesting, but I feel like this show needs a season 2 to explore its concepts more. for now, its just a decent show.

6/10

10. A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace

Newest Yuri as of writing this, and its a pretty fun one! IMO, its a slightly better New game, as I WAYY prefer the characters of this one, as I feel that one had too many, this has the exact right amount. none overstay their welcome, and each is great! I like the relationship between Futami and her Editor Shiori, let them kiss already grrrrrrr. but yea this show is fun, but it is a bit basic, so I cant really rank it higher, as its a really grounded anime, with not a whole lot goin on, its just cruisin through life, makin a manga, not really any conflict to be seen here. but its good for what it is!

7/10

9. Candy Boy: Nonchalant Talk of the Certain Twin Sisters in Daily Life

OK OK DONT SHOOT ME LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF FOR PUTTING IT THIS HIGH. i dont like family relations like this as much as the next guy, it ew. but this one was genuinally a really sweet mini series. you can really tell how much Yukino and Kanade have always cared for eachother, and its really sweet, Unlike Citrus, which was just weird with constant uncomfortable kissing scenes. this has a singular one of those. its just a sweet n wholesome show, despite what the relation is. thats why its so high. Any show topic can be good imo, as long as its done GOOD and isnt WEIRD about it. THIS is a good example of that, and stuff like Happy Sugar Life and Citrus ISNT. I can get why people wont enjoy this one, completely fair. but I liked it, so yippe yay.

8. Mayonaka Punch

youtuber gets cancelled and joins vampire youtuber group. fucking awesome as hell concept right here. This show is such a fun concept, and it absolutely does not waste its potential. Ill be honest when I say im not the biggest fan of Masaki, shes a bit of a bitch at times. Tokage and Yuki kinda fall into specific traits I dont care for, but I do like what they do with Ichiko and Fu, they have pretty good characters. and Live. OH DO I HAVE WORDS FOR LIVE. MOST OF THOSE SIMPING FOR HER SHES SO PRETTY. This is just a really fun show, and has a pretty great climax in the last few episodes, with Masaki finally showing her face on camera again, thanks to a scheme from all the vampire girls and a few others helping out, it was a really good twist I wasn't fully expecting, I expected the vampires were in on it, but not everyone. I liked this show alot though, I can pretty easily Recommend this one.

8/10

7. Kashimashi Girl meets Girl

finally, some trans yuri... hell yes... and Its kinda poly as well.... peak..... This one is fun, But i do admit it has some... weird elements about it, especially with like 70% of the side characters, but the Main trio's love triangle between Hazumu, Yasuna, and Tomari was a great dynamic. They really shouldve become Poly. This had like the 2nd best setup for it (doesnt beat watanare). The ending of the like, Christmas special kinda pissed me off though. The end of the show, its kinda implied, at least I think it does that Hazumu and Yasuna got together but then the special goes "no no, they didnt, and Hazumu gets with TOMARI in the end!" like man that really upset me, to kinda just go back and a really good thing they had there. but besides that shit special, the Main show is pretty damn good, aside from weird side characters. I liked it!

6. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury

this one had so many ups and downs oh my god. this was my first ever gundam thing ive interacted with so no clue if this is how gundam usually is. Anyways, i began with the prologue, and that fucking grabbed my intention REALLY fast, but then season 1 kinda lost me until the final episode, where it grabbed me again and I was locked in again for all of season 2. Season 1 is just kinda meh for me, I don't care for most of it, but those last 2 episodes were good, and ALL of season 2 was amazing. I could really go into depth on this one, but I'll keep it brief. I love the dynamic between Miorine and Suletta, they are adorable together. the side characters are alright too, but at times it feels like there are too many. but none are bad IMO. but yeah, I really liked this one, funny how the yuri things with political matters in them end up becoming some of the best lol.

5. This Monster Wants to Eat Me (RE-REVIEW)

I technically already reviewed this, but now thats its Finished, its time to review it properly! I Do Believe the show fully peaked in the first 4 episodes, as nothing truly compared to those IMO, but the descent down the hill was like 2 small steps down. it was barely a hill. This show is still amazing. the Backstory with how Hinako knew Shiori right before the big car crash that killed her family, and Shiori's blood inside her is why she survived the crash, and Shiori still being depressed and wanting to die because of what happened, and Shiori promising to eat her, but never actually wanting to, due to her blood being in her, she thinks she tastes awful, so she finally TRULY promises to eat her when shes happy in the last 2 episodes, was amazing. I really hope this gets a season 2, because it was really fucking good (yea yea, I can read the manga, but I'm lazy) I sadly dont think it quite reaches to 10/10 status, but its like, a 9.7.

(theres still 4 left, all 10/10. yuri is fucking awesome yall)

4. Rock Is A Lady's Modesty

MANNNN THIS WAS SO PEAK. FIRST OFF, THE ANIMATION. The 3D Animation did originally put me off, especially with how much they animated the sweat, but god by halfway through I was ENTRANCED BY THE 3D ANIMATION IT LOOKS SO GOOD, AND THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS GOD ITS EYE CANDYY. The Dynamic between Lilisa and Otaha is fuckin great, them just constantly swearing at eachother was fuckin awesome, and them half the time flipping off their competition, with all four joining in on the last one was so peak. I do feel the other two, Tina and Timaki don't get enough time to shine, but they do each get their own special moment to shine, during the times the band plays on stage. but God this show is good, love me some good ol Toxic yuri. Please check this one out, one of the best of 2025.

10/10

3. Birdie Wings: ~Golf Girls Story~

wasnt expecting this one to end up so high, but GODDD it was so good and such a tense show, with so many great characters and an amazing story that I LOVED. The Parallels between Aoi and Eve, Loving eachother's golf skills, and just wanting to play against eachother, but something always causing that to not happen. Each finding their own unique golf move, by combining their parent's own golfs, instead of just copying one, is such a good story imo. and I'm really said we never got to see them actually fight, what a punch in the face. But still, this show was beyond amazing, I could truly make a whole seperate thing about this show, and Hell, I might, but for now, take this paragraph. Please check this one out if you havent already, its amazing.

10/10

2. There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... (RE-REVIEW)

like This monster wants to eat me, I'm re-reviewing this one, as the first season has wrapped up with the release of next shine, and GOD it was great. Next Shine absolutely delivered with those final 5 episodes and then some. Its so nice getting a yuri nowadays longer then 12/13 episodes, and This absolutely deserved it. It's such an amazing anime. Poly Rep is REALLY rare, most of the time its harem, and I dont like harem. So to get a Poly show THIS GOOD, and it BEATING JJK MOVIE IN JAPAN IS INSANE. onto the actual 5 ep special though, I'm only gonna talk about that as I've already talked bout the rest of the show on my 2nd yuri ranking, but anyways, I love the focus on my favorite. Kaho, I love the lil gremlin. and FINALLY Confirming The Polycule at the end with Renako, Mai, and Ajisai, was so cool to see I was cheering in my seat during that. AND THAT CLIFFHANGER AT THE END WITH SATUKI WANTING TO JOIN THE POLYCULE I NEED MORE I GOTTA SEE WHERE THAT LEADS MAN. GIMME A SEASON 2 IT WAS REALLY SUCCESSFUL ITS GOTTA RIGHT COME ONN...... But yeah, Next Shine was an Amazing Addition to an Amazing show, Easily the Best Yuri of 2025, Not even a close Contest IMO.

`1. Princess Principal + Crown Handler Movies

This one isn't a Show, its an Experience. All the characters are Magnificent. I cant recommend this one enough. The Story of Ange and the Princess is great, and the twist, of them Switching Lives due to them wanting to live eachother's lives for a day, but that day a war broke out, so they got stuck in the roles, is so tragic, but GOD I love it so much. The action in this show is great, the setting is great, I love the steampunk look of everything, the Spy group characters are great, god this show is just amazing. The Crown handler movies are also pretty damn good, Expanding on the world, introducing a new villain, and while they arent all out (I know Crown Handler 4 just released, I still gotta watch it), What we have at the moment is amazing, that cliffhanger on 3, I GOTTA see where it leads, I cant wait to watch Crown Handler 4, and 5 and 6 when those two come out. This is one everyone should watch, its such a good damn show and Movie Series Combo. (UPDATE IVE WATCHED CROWN HANDLER 4, PEAK AS USUAL, CANT WAIT FOR 5)
