The story and characters in Unicorn were great, right up until the Unicorn literally handwaving a Federation armada away. The characters were all likeable, Banagher managed to be a whiny pacifist who was actually tolerable, and it had a nice thriller plot that was interesting and made sense. Just pretend the last 60 seconds of episode 7 didn't happen.

shonen/shoujo-ai: assumed romantic subtext. pretty sure everyone is gay, this does not mean people are making out all the time. this would be your yuru yuris and free. usually about other things besides the smooching.

yuri/yaoi: they are making out and the story is explicitly about how these people are getting in each other's pants. this would be maka-maka and...uh gravitation, i guess, gently caress i can't think of an obvious yaoi

Nah it's called BL.

Also that's some wired mental gymnastics to say that Yuru Yuri isn't a yuri series. I mean it's right there in the name.

Aren't they all? I think it's dumb, to fight over a word that has rolled up so many different connotations that the King of the Cosmos turned it into a star

Its silly since none of the creators or primary consumers classify yuri or BL like that.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

It's 4 episodes but I dunno if the total running length will be like the other Kono Danshi works (~30min) or if it'll be longer. 4 x 7 minutes to get a 28 min total length is probably likely but it would be cool if it had longer episodes.

The lady who directs them makes them by herself and was just 21 when she made the first one. They have a pretty unique style and have a lot of 2D elements like text effects; the animation isn't super high-quality but IMO she does well with what she's got, the art is pretty and the stories are good.

The others are
Kono Danshi, Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu. (This Boy Can Fight Aliens)
Kono Danshi, Ningyo Hiroimashita.(This Boy Caught a Merman)
Kono Danshi, Sekika ni Nayandemasu.(This Boy Suffers From Crystallization)
and there was a fourth one that's just a drama CD, don't recall what the title is.
