The other week I decided to watch a fairly hyped up yuri anime called Sakura Trick; a romance series set in a high school, mainly focusing on the couple of Haruka Takayama andYuu Sonoda.
Now despite this shows very pretty animation and incredibly catchy opening song there is one thing that makes me hate this show: Haruka.
Where as in episode one their initial kiss is sweet and romantic Haruka becomes a love crazed addict, and each episode deviously begs and pressures Yuu into carrying on where they left off. Her desperation shows through her near idiotic reasons to make Yuu kiss her, such as claiming she can kiss away the fear she feels during the late night episode. Now some point out that eventually Yuu begins to act first, but surely it isn't great that she has been forced into it so many times she grows to enjoy it, that thinking makes their romance a little creepy.Now there are other characters in the show, claiming the focus of a few episodes, but most aren't too outstanding for me. there were elements of humor, but most of the jokes i found to be just so-so and didn't interest me enough.
If you like Yuri anime you probably will like this on principle, however I would say to people looking for a deep love story or even an interesting slice of life show to look elsewhere
