Explanations
Could somebody please give explanations as to what the Yuri-Content of the mentioned series is? I mean, I consider myself a hardcore InuYasha Fan, yet I have seen nothing that even resembles Shôjo Ai here - so please help me out.
- Not a bad idea. While not being a hardcore fan of it, I have similar doubts about Love Hina : girls taking baths together shouldn't count as shoujo-ai in a culture where such a thing is commonplace, no ?
The new article
So, I completely revised the article. Honestly it was a mess of random sentences without any real coherency, consistency, or structure, which is about what you might expect given that its history consisted largely of one-line additions and edits by anonymous users. (Hmm, people don't want their names attached to an article called 'yuri'. I wonder why.)
But here, let me give an example: Counterarguments note female-female relationships are portrayed in such a manner sometimes to remove overly dismissive doubt to the nature of romantic relationships between women. What in blazes does that sentence even mean? The new version may be less right, but it's at least more readable -- which hopefully means it's easier for someone to start fixing it. --Aponar Kestrel 06:34, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)
Merge with shojo ai
If a bunch of people don't come in saying that they think of yuri and shoujo ai the same way (for either parsing of that sentence), this article should probably be merged with Shojo ai -- or, rather, shojo ai should probably be merged with this article. Then we can retitle it "Yuri and Shojo ai", set up redirects as appropriate, and get a real disambiguation page up so you don't have to come here to find Yuri (singer). --Aponar Kestrel 06:34, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)
Merged
I've included the gist of 'shoujo ai' into 'yuri', and I'll leave it to others to delete it. As mentioned, I think it'd be easier to copy over YURI's entry into SHOUJO AI with appropriate redirects, to avoid needing the yuri disambiguation page.
- Actually, Mr.-or-Ms. 138.89.139.162, you removed portions of both shoujo ai and yuri and replaced the deleted portions with largely identical inaccuracies. Of special note is that the Japanese do not use shoujo ai to mean what Anglophones do. (appropriate Google Search) (http://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&q=%22%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3%E6%84%9B%22+-%22%E5%8D%93%E7%90%83%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3%22&lr=lang_ja) Ever.
- At any rate, Siroxo has already reverted your changes to shoujo ai, and I've mirrored the reversion over here. I cede that a list of the various definitions isn't notable to anyone save either an otaku or a very dedicated or specialized linguist, and I have thus removed those. --Aponar Kestrel (talk) 03:36, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)
Shojo-ai Talk
Links
Deleted the link to Manga Bonbons' relevant page. MB being, alas, dead since 5 months, it was about time. Maybe a link to Onna! (http://www.onnafest.com/) would compensate this loss ?
Additions to shojoai list/Another idea
I added Bleach to the list, figuring Inoue x Tatsuki is pretty canon.
I also added Air Master, against my better judgement. It does contain shoujo-ai.
Also, has anyone seen this? http://www.shoujoai.com/forum/topic_show.pl?tid=29037;pg=1
Personally I think it would be a good idea to incorporate this into Wikipedia. It could be changed so that personal opiunions listed next to series were changed to more objective statements like 'contains rape' or 'contains underage sexual content'.
This would naturally be moved to its own Wikipedia page, probably 'List of Shoujoai (Lesbian-related??) anime'.
Please respond if you agree that the above is a good idea. --Zaorish 20:31, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
