Welcome to a whole new year of me making videos! This year, Season 4 of Yuri Studio, we’ve got two sets of features on tap. One, we’ll be doing panels and videos featuring fans and industry and scholars of Yuri talking about various aspects of the Yuri genre and history for Yuricon 2023.
Today I am launching my first, experimental video and new feature, Erica Reacts (not really) To, in which I will be reacting to various Episode 1s of Yuri anime coming out in 2023. This was requested by my patrons and I…well, I did my best. Here’s my first attempt at a “reaction” video. Kinda. ^_^
I know it’s not really a react video. My life has blown up considerably this month and I have no real time to record myself watching something, or cutting and editing video clips. Instead, you’ve got my opinion about the episode. I’ve got some ideas for the next video, we’ll see if I have the time. ^_^
As always, I thank you for your likes, your kind comments and shares! If you have a video you’d like me to watch, I can add it to the list. ^_^
Even though I only presented A (Very Brief) History of Yuri originally in 2016, somuch has happened in the past few years that I wanted to do a quick update. Here’s a look at a few things that the last 6 years brought us in Yuri. Today I present, A Brief History of Yuri, Part 2 (or, as I was joking as I write it, An Even Briefer History of Yuri. ^_^
As always, likes, comments, subscribes and shares all make a difference. YouTube watches and judges. ^_^ Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much to all my Okazu Patrons and Supporters for making this and all of our videos possible!
Next year is the 20th anniversary of the first Yuricon event, and we got a great suggestion at the party, so Season 4 is going to be a lot of fun. If you enjoy this or any of our videos, leave us a like and a kind comment! ^_^
Thanks to my Patrons for the idea. As a final celebration of reading, watching, and writing about Yuri here on Okazu, we have a new video up on Yuri Studio: S03 E05 Top 10 Changes In Yuri From 20 Years of Okazu!
In this video I think about all the things I’ve seen change in Yuri and Yuri fandom and celebrate each and every step forward. So join me and let’s talk about some changes we’ve seen in Yuri!
Your likes and kind comments on YouTube make a huge difference to the algorithm sharing my videos and are very much appreciated! I hope you’ll subscribe and get notifications, as well, because these are things YouTube judges me on. ^_^

(Also, note the excellent new t-shirt! It’s up on the Yuricon store. ^_^ When you go to Redbubble, the image shows up blank on the page header because Redbubble won’t let me show the image with background color. Scroll down and check out the items to see the image.)
Okazu Patrons asked for more video content for the 20th anniversary of Okazu, and I am absolutely planning on something for that. In the meantime, here’s a fun, little short video that I’ve wanted to share for a while…about the times I appeared in manga!
As always, a like and kind comment on Youtube is appreciated! And please subscribe to Yuri Studio. I’m hoping to reach 2000 subscribers this year. ^_^
