Yuri Anime
Sabagebu! anime is upon us and Crunchyroll News has the previews and some cast updates and is streaming the anime for your viewing pleasure. The anime is only remotely like the shoujo manga I read, so I assume it’s closer to the spinoff version running in Morning magazine. It’s still fun and Sentai Filmworks announced the license for the series at Anime Expo.
We’ve got some of the staff information on Psycho-Pass 2, now, but I still say that we really shouldn’t expect a lot on the Yuri side without Fukami Makoto on board.
