They abandoned this initially when the author stated that he wanted to leave everything up to the viewer's interpretation and not engage in debates about what is yuri and what is not.Thanks for the translation!
The image quality is...eh. There's obviously some weird upscaling (and/or smoothing) going on, but then JPEG artifacts on top? Plus artifacts on the dithering. I don't necessarily want to complain, it's just a bit sad to see.
As for the manga itself... The anime's resolution was disappointing, with no actual yuri going on there in the end; they completely dropped it. The manga won't change anything there either, right? I'm still hoping that whatever that October event is will give us something there, but I'm skeptical.
a.k.a. "the coward's way"leave everything up to the viewer's interpretation
From the point of view of yuri shippers, perhaps. But this is a new original show and the writers wanted to target a wide audience, including people with very different expectations from anime, instead of pandering to just one group of viewers.a.k.a. "the coward's way"
True -make a move to target other markets while not offending the shippers, who are like flies that make the meat stinky.From the point of view of yuri shippers, perhaps.

Assuming that yuri shippers are the only or main audience for such shows. Or that the creative vision of any author is to create yuri content. But that's not true. Creators have the right to develop their shows the way they want to the best of their ability, and it would be quite immature and selfish to declare authors "creative bankrupts" just because they are not going to give up other viewers just to satisfy the tastes of one particular audience.That's just a nice way to express pandering to the "mass market", creating a watered-down "product" without any creative vision. The ultimate creative bankruptcy.
I wouldn't be so harsh, although I have long noticed that yuri shippers tend to overestimate the appeal of an all-female show to them, expecting that any such show is or should be exclusively aimed at them in the first place. Therefore, if they do not get what they want, then in their eyes it is either due to a deliberate attempt to deceive them (because any "chemistry" is a deliberate ship bait) or due to a author's lack of courage and willpower.True -make a move to target other markets while not offending the shippers, who are like flies that make the meat stinky.
