Yuri Anime

Joann Cayanan reports that Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity to an Android? anime will have a January 9 premier, and is announcing more cast, staff OVA plans(!) and a new trailer. Based on the trailer we should not expect amazing animation from this anime, but that is not why you’re watching it, surely?

Yuri-tangential, Yamashita Tomoko’s Ikoku Nikki has a new trailer, has added more cast, OP and has a January 4 debut, also via Joana Cayanan.

Yuri Navi is interested in an upcoming Netflix original Cosmic Princess Kaguya,  a musical re-imagining of the classic Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, with two young women, and something something idol. Alex Mateo has details on ANN.

Live-Action

Fujimoto Tatsuki’s Look Back is getting a live-action adaptation, according to ANN’s Alex Mateo. I don’t think a live-action will add anything, but I guess it will get the story in front of people who don’t read manga or watch animation.

Light Novel 

Brought to our attention by Sr. YNN Correspondent and LN expert Sean Gaffney, (and confirmed by others) ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword!  Volume 5 light novel may have been translated by AI. With the anime coming out shortly, this seems like choices have been made. As you know, we do not support AI here and are hoping that this will be corrected.
