Yuri Anime

If you missed popular Yuri anime Strawberry Panic when it was released by Media Blasters, or would like to revisit it anytime, look no further than Viewster, a new, legal free anime streaming provider who happens to have it! Check the service out and subscribe if it has stuff you like, or order up their “omakase” (chef’s choice) service. Viewster also has Aoi Hana/Sweet Blue Flowers and other Yuri anime (and some lesbian-themed live-action drama from the looks of it.)
