What do 你 think the difference between shoujo ai and yuri and shounen ai and 矢追 is?

A while ago, I came to understand that Shojo Ai (Girls Love) and Shounen Ai (Boys Love) were about same sex romance stories, while Yuri and 矢追 were similar but 更多 explicit and graphic in nature. But nowadays, I prefer to just drop the distinction and use the terms Yuri and 矢追 for any same-sex themed animes.

I'm noting that Media Blasters have a label called "Yuri Fan" (and might have one called 矢追 Fan). Most of these are hardly what I'd call explicit. 草莓 Panic has only a limited amount of 粉丝 service beyond an occasional kiss, for instance. And they don't have an "18+" rating. If those 日本动漫 are Yuri, I can't imagine anything "less explicit" than them yet still same sex that they would be labeled as Shojo Ai instead. So I don't think the international 日本动漫 industry is supporting the distinction between the terms. And then there's Yuru Yuri. It's got Yuri in the title, so I'm gonna call it a Yuri anime, even if it's mostly gag material and not really explicit, and even if they're just referring to "Lilly"s in the 标题 instead of Yuri's other meaning.

Maybe there's room to make a distinction between Shojo Ai/Shounen Ai and Yuri/Yaoi in the realm of manga, doujinshi, and 粉丝 art, but in the realm of anime, I don't see any need to distinguish between the two. If there was a 更多 explicit yuri 标题 than normal, I'd just call it a yuri ecchi 或者 yuri hentai.

There's probably no right 或者 wrong answer to this, as they're terms that may have different meanings 或者 connotations to different people in different contexts and evolve over time.

maybe i'm a little confused in that i've never actually seen a Shoujo Ai 标题 and all of the yuri I've seen are actually really yuri. just about any kind of perverted gag seems to be enough to count it as a yuri, even if the gags don't "cross the line". an actual shoujo ai 标题 would probably bore me. but i suppose trying to distinguish a yuri from a shoujo ai 标题 is really just as diffucult as trying to distinguish a romantic comedy from an ecchi.

I don't know about 日本动漫 and 日本漫画 for it. But for myself, I call myself a Shoujo Ai and Shounen Ai 粉丝 not a Yuri 或者 矢追 fan.

Because from what I have learned being in those fandoms. 矢追 and Yuri 粉丝 focus 更多 on the sexual side of the relationships.
Like, if an OVA doesn't have a sex scene, they aren't happy with it. Like I have seen "Awww, no sex? I want me some Yaoi!" and I'm like "You just got some 'Yaoi' this whole thing was about a homosexual relationship'. Sometimes 你 even see them complaining about doujinshis not having sexual scenes. When I'm sitting there thinking it was beautifully made and touching, I didn't even want to look at anything sexual.
或者 there are other 粉丝 who want a lot of doujinshis for their pairings and stuff. Fanart and fanfictions for example.


Shounen Ai and Shoujo Ai fans, focus 更多 on the actual relationships. The beauty of them and not the sexual part. From what I have seen, we don't care about the sexual parts. We just want to see the relationships and see the 爱情 and beauty.

你 can actually a lot of times see the different in 矢追 and Shounen Ai fanart as well. Because in Yuri/Yaoi fanart, 你 can definietly tell there is a seme/uke stereotype going on. While with Shounen ai/Shoujo Ai 你 don't really see it.

Here, this is a confession I made about it.

I would say that the genres "yuri" and "yaoi" would be considered 更多 sexual and graphic as opposed to just romance with no sex... I guess.

Honestly I wish classifications weren't so confusing,because there are times when they'll just blend together... Like if a story is pure romance but has like a couple sex scenes in it, it's automatically not considered shonen ai/ shojo ai anymore. Which i think is weird because if it's still totally romance and stuff I don't really think it should be 给 a whole new genre.

*When I mention that I like the genres of shonen ai/ 矢追 I just say I like BL cause it pretty much covers it and it's less confusing. Plus i like the way it sounds better.
