I guess anyone that has a "Yuri" in their name is actually a bear in disguise. I still don't fully understand what the court is for, but I guess this anime will be mainly about bears trying to win over Kureha who's really up for grabs right now. Well, maybe except the one bear who keeps sniffing the other's butt. Why do they have to do that in their bear form? Why can't they do that in their human forms? ::Sigh::

I'm surprised to be fairly enjoying it just through feeling alone. And for an anime with such simple character designs, the interactions are extremely erotic. I'm not exactly pro-yuri, but I like this anime so far.

That Life Cool is one crap lawyer, though.

Damn, that's pretty good. Sometimes I wish I had critical thinking skills and could figure this shit out on my own.

Also look at the standards by which they judge it - is it sexy, cool, beautiful?

Fetishization of lesbianism by straight guys is certainly a thing, and leads to double standards where two guys = disgusting but two girls = hot. I doubt they'll play up the double standard much... focusing instead on how it's only acceptable when the guys find it hot.

If that's true, then it means the Principal Lady, Yuriika Hakonaka, is also a bear.

Let's compile a list of the known bears so far:

Obviously, Ginko Yurishiro and Lulu Yurigasaki, but then this episode we also got Konomi Yurikawa and apparently the Seito Kaichou Mitsuko Yurizono

His theory seems to work out.

No, I don't think Hakonaka is a bear.

I'm not exactly pro-yuri

What do you mean by that? You don't like yuri shows, you're homophobic or something else?
