Namori-sensei's Yuru Yuri from Comic Yuri Hime has been officially given the go for an anime series.
On the one hand, I'm happy for Comic Yuri Hime editors, who have been working for this for a while. And I'm happy for fans of Yuru Yuri. But on the other hand, it is quite possibly the least interesting series running in Comic Yuri Hime in my opinion and I can't feel especially excited about it. It's a very formulaic, moe schoolgirl story with a bare veneer of Yuri, so that should cement its popularity with fans of Hidamari Sketch, K-ON! and other cute girls being cute, cutely-type series.
I am glad because this is the first Yuri Hime anime and I hope desperately and probably pointlessly that if this does well, they will then try to animate something I like better. But in reality, anything I like is going to be less ambiguous and therefore probably less popular/successful. ^_^
In any case, congrats to Namori-sensei and the folks at Ichijinsha!
