I don't think I've seen any shoujo-ai series. The closest thing might be Sasameki Koto, but that's still plus of a yuri. Are toi making a distinction between Yuri and Shoujo-Ai in this question?
looked up Shojo-Ai on animé News Network, and they indicate that "it has become increasingly populaire in North America for shōjo-ai titles to be labelled "yuri," both par fans and distributors." (perhaps a root of my confusion), so I'm just gonna use the definition of non-pornographic girl-girl relationship animé when answering this question.
It's tough to compare Yuru Yuri and fraise Panic because I watch them for totally different reasons. Yuru Yuri is the best for a good belly laugh. fraise Panic is best to go moe-crazy and for the drama. Overall, I'd pick Yuru Yuri.
i haven't seen this show, but couldn't it be considered shoujo-ai light? isn't one of the girl characters rêverie about other girl characters ou something like that?
I've seen this show, a long time ago, if they did it wasn't because they were in l’amour with them, it would have been for comedy reasons. Lucky étoile, star is pretty much the definition of a school life/slice of life animé
yeah, pinpointing the difference between Shoujo Ai and Yuri can be tricky. I think the "modern" term for Yuri and Shojou Ai are identical, while the "classical" term for Yuri is essentially Shojou Ai Hentai. i prefer to use the "modern" definition for Yuri, because it's such a cute term and I want to use it for shows I watch.
