Is K-On a yuri anime?

I think yes, because in this serie there are only girls, the school is for girls only, Mio fan club has only girls, who also have a sickly obsession with her, the main characters never fall in love with a man and they only think in each other.
Besides the group is very intimate, they're always hounding Asuza-chan, using bizarre outfits, touching each other, this show is itself feminist and the men seem forbbiden.

I never saw a man in this show(except the Ritsu's brother who doesn't look like man).

What do you think? Is K-On a yuri anime?

K-On has Shoujo Ai undertones, it in itself is not Yuri.

Uhhh no.

You want yuri, go watch Strawberry Panic or Love Lab (first episode's out! give it a shot!).

There's subtext, but that's about it.

It's not yuri. Manga readers already confirmed that.

Unless you're sarcastic, my answer is "no".

Trying to cater to the Fujoshis have always been a dumb thing to do anyway, only fools would pretend to understand how they work. If anything Attack on Titan appeals to them a lot more than F**** will, looking at all the Attack on Titan Yaoi that's popping up.

No, not really. There wouldn't even be undertones if not for Mugi and her Yuri vision.

And groups of girls are like that. They're more, let's say intimate with each other. -> Experience.

The story takes place in an all-girl school. It's weird if we can see a boy there.

I wouldn't say so. Even Yuru Yuri, which is a step up from K-On I wouldn't consider to be Yuri.

Well... no, not really. Shoujo-ai, if even.
Sometimes we can see characters touching or saying flirty stuff to each other, but that looks more if they were just joking.
I would say Yuruyuri would be barely considered shoujo-ai.
K-on is like 1\10 of yuruyuri, if not even less.

I still think K-On is Yuri, therefore K-On is Yuri.

No. There are also NO UNDERTONES OR SUBTEXT of any kind relating to it.

Anyone claiming such is simply putting it in in their mind - just like shipping bullshit. There is no factual, no canonical, no hinted at, implied, or joked about lesbianism in this show outside of about 2 jokes relating to Mugi in season 1. Never comes up again, never happens from any other characters.

Saying K-ON has yuri or shoujo-ai undertones/subtext is like saying Azumanga Daioh (kaorin excluded) has them.

Ok. Whatever! That was your perception we have nothing to do with that.

Yuri? Definitely not
Shoujo-Ai? Closer, but I'd still say no

It's generally just girls being cuddly and friendly with eachother, there's never any signs of actual romance in between them (other than Asuza mistakingly believing Yui likes her at some points)

Imo it is

I think Yui is a lesbian and that she in love with Azusa. She even tries to kiss her in one episode but get pushed away

But I prefer stronger Yuri where the romance between the females get in the spotlight

And Yuri doesn't mean sex between females like someone claims. Yuri translate into Lily in Japanese and are a term they use when they portrays lesbians or strong spiritual relationship between females in manga or anime

don't you think of every anime with girls in it to be Yuri lmao, legit see your everywhere claiming every girl is a lesbian even though they aren't. You also rank your shows based on if they have Yuri, lmao saw what happened with you and Shadow's House
