Video Essays About Yuri to Watch
Happy yuri day!! It's time for my annual round up of some of the cool yuri video's I watched this year that you should check out :0
the yuri masterpiece you haven't heard of (29m)
How Do We Relationship mention!! This is great overview of one of the best yuri's to come out in the past ten years. Definitely worth a watch, and I do mean watch because the editing is top notch.
The Danger of Beautiful Memories - Revolutionary Girl Utena (25m)
There's so much to talk about when it comes to Utena that picking just one topic is probably smart if you're not trying to make a 9 hour video. So here's a half hour look into how Utena came to be (slight Chiho Saito redemption??) and the theme of memories.
Girls’ Love, Empire, and Tragedy: The History of Doomed Yuri (24m)
Some heavier subject matter here since its laying out why so much early Class S/yuri works were tragedies, and various issues sapphic women were facing in the early 1900s, but its covered really well so definitely worth a watch.
YURI - The History of Girl's Love (32m)
A fun little look at yuri history, hits all the major beats from the 70s to now. While this is all stuff I’m aware of it’s always interesting to hear new voices talk about yuri and seeing what aspects they end up focusing on.
This Monster Wants to Eat Me: a tale of love, cannibalism, and mermaids (43m)
Yuri cannibalism mention! This is a fun mix that covers the history of mermaids and cannibalism in fiction while digging into This Monster Wants To Eat Me, and topping it off with a recipe for marshmallow mermaid pie.
The Anime Adaptation So Bad It Forced Me Out of Retirement (1h30m)
They beefed the anime adaptation of Whisper Me a Love Song real bad and this video takes you through the hows and whys of it all. This is both a love letter to the manga and letter bomb to the anime so its interesting whether or not you've watched/read the series.
