Afterellen.com Streams Aoi Hana from Crunchyroll
posted on 2009-07-15 00:45 EDT
Afterellen.com, a website for the lesbian community that boasts 700,000 readers a month, began streaming the Aoi Hana: Sweet Blue Flowers yuri anime series off the Crunchyroll website on Friday evening. Crunchyroll has been streaming this adaptation of Takako Shimura's yuri manga since July 1, but it is the first anime presented by Afterellen.com. The website's name is inspired by actress Ellen DeGeneres' 1997 coming-out and the societal and cultural changes since then. Yuricon founder and ALC Publishing President Erica Friedman contributed a review of the anime to the website to mark its streaming.
Thank you to Erica Friedman for the news tip.

The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
Alita is back and even more powerful than ever, but aside from a couple of fantastic scenes the story progression lacks the sense of excitement and anticipation commonly seen earlier in the series. Seeing one of the all-
