GL/Yuri anime that isn’t bait (Part 1)

NOTICE: Part 2 is up now! The list finally exceeded 50 titles, and 50 is the maximum MAL will allow in one stack. I have moved some of the titles which I feel are a little less overtly “yuri” (but still worth watching!) to my second list so that I can put more straightforward yuri titles in this one as they come out. There are some new titles in part 2 as well.
I’m really happy that this genre has grown so much in the past few years since I started making this list. We’ve come a long way.

The yuri anime genre unfortunately has a reputation for creating relationships between female characters that are incredibly ambiguous. This is a list of anime in which the romantic/sexual relationship between the two girls is very clear (and not one-sided). The girls in question should be major characters and their relationship should be one of if not the biggest driving point(s) of the show.

No hentai titles, as adding even one would get the whole list marked nsfw. Some representation on this list is better than others, and I have provided an opinion under each title.

I would like to continue growing this list, so if I am missing one that you think fits the above criteria, please message me! Thank you.
