Dec 25, 2014 Paulo27 Recommended **NOTE: This anime is a sequel to the LN 'Washio Sumi wa Yuusha de Aru', it's highly recommended that you do NOT read it before this, don't even look at its synopsis as it contains spoilers, it's recommended however that you read it after finishing this anime as it gives good backstory for some of the characters and works well as a tissue burner.** Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru (Yuyuyu henceforth to avoid confusion with the character) was one of the least anticipated tiles for Fall 2014, but as a fan of both the SoL and mahou shoujo genres I figured it'd be a decent ...

Nov 8, 2014 WingKing Recommended I did not know what to expect when I began watching Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero. The previews teased that it was going to be another slice-of-life series, but looks were deceptive. While it has some SOL elements, at its core it's a magical girl show, and a pretty serious one, too. Here’s my final review of the entire series, as of 12/26/2014. If you just want an overall recommendation without any other details, feel free to skip to the tl;dr section at the very bottom. The Plot In a Nutshell: Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 25, 2014 MarlyTT Not Recommended -Spoilers Ahead- The brilliant minds behind Angel Beats and Akame ga Kill joined forces in an attempt to capitalize on their respective "talents" and made what some people call "one of the most underrated masterpieces of the season" without an ounce of irony. This series is pretty much everything wrong with modern anime, and there are plenty of reasons as to why. It's just so up its own ass pretending to be not a grimdark show in a vain attempt to fake out the audience for so long that it ends up boring, and when it actually gets to the grimdark it was leading up to, ...

Dec 26, 2014 Anon028 Recommended Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru is part of a multimedia project of LN, VN, videogame, manga and anime. And despite of it, the anime is completely able to stand on its own. The story is one of the strongest points, but for you to understand this you need to watch the series from the right point of view. As a Slice of Life the story is about the characters, sure world building is important, but ultimately the story focuses on the 5 main protagonists, it makes you care about them, their lives and it gives a proper conclusion to them. The art is pretty good for ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 23, 2015 ChrissyKay Not Recommended Yuuki Yuuna is a Horribly Boring Character. She's relatively one-dimensional, oblivious, airheaded, naive and childish in her ideals, which isn't inherently boring, but the world she lives in RESPECTS that allowing her simple and repetitive nature to prevail against any and all problems to the point where you begin to wonder if there's any point in growing up at all. I, like many others, stumbled upon the show "Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero" after hearing it compared to the illustrious Madoka Magica and were drawn to it by people saying that it was "better than Madoka". As a massive fan of Madoka Magica, I was ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2014 Hawk2 Recommended Can you hold it in your heart to believe in yourself to be a hero? Can you do that while knowing that while you carry out your promise to protect the world, you have to watch as you feel like you're failing that same promise to your friends? Are you truly capable of being a hero knowing what sacrifices have to be made and what you can lose along the way? Do you have the willpower to be the spark that lights the candle of hope surround by a shroud of despair? Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru (YuYuYu for short) is an anime that ...

Dec 26, 2014 BanjoTheBear Recommended (This has been adapted from my reddit thread) When it comes to helping others, some do it for the joy it brings to others while some do so to bring happiness to oneself. It doesn't matter the reason; just being there for someone in his or her time of need makes all the difference in the world. It also doesn't matter the scope, either. Whether it's working at a soup kitchen, babysitting the neighbor's kid, or saving an animal from a burning building, it's not the grandness of the act, but the act *itself* that means everything. And more often than not, these people are bestowed with ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 29, 2014 emberreviews Mixed Feelings In an age where a single idea can be copied, transmuted, inverted, and manipulated in millions of possible ways, the phrase "That's just a rip-off of ______" has become increasingly more common. For example, I've heard many arguments that Nagi no Asukara is just a rip-off of From the New World, and while there certainly are similarities between the two, it's quiet a stretch to say that a romance drama is just a rip-off of a dystopian horror series. However, there are times where the degree to which something is copied is so severe that ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 10, 2015 Vanschia Recommended It's my first review on MAL, and I decided to give it to one of this unpopular anime.. This is the first anime that makes me scream, "OH GOD, PEOPLE SHOULD WATCH THIS!" Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, or Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero. (YuYuYu for short) Story: 8.5/10 Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 10, 2016 Haneq Recommended Hello! This is my first review (most overused excuse ever, right?). English is not my native language, so I'm sorry for mistakes. *I'll do my best not to contain any spoilers.* *Also, this review will be long because I love to write!* When I first started to watch Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru (YuYuYu) back in July 2015, I really expected it to be lighter Madoka Magica. I had heard many people talk about it and refer it as ''the most underrated anime of 2014''. When I finally got to see the first episode, I was pretty surprised to see Slice of Life-elements - I thought this ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 12, 2015 jc9622 Recommended Every time I see an anime cover with a cute magical girl/s, I always get the feeling that it's going to be similar to Madoka Magica. I tried the show out just to confirm my curiosity and what do you know, it is similar to Madoka but do not think the show is a Madoka rip-off because it's not. (There will be SPOILERS in my review) [Story]: (8.8/10) (SPOILERS) Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2014 Stark700 Recommended A show that might be overlooked for its frontal advertisement. Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha (Yuuki Yuuna is a Hero) isn’t your typical ‘cute girls doing cute things’ type of show. Well, it is for some parts or at least the first 10 or so minutes of the pilot episode. Then, we realize the show is a lot more after a strange message on a cell phone that transports the girls into a world of the unknown. If ‘magical girl’ is something you’re familiar with and find enjoyable, then this show may be a treat. To trace back a bit, the show is an original work ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 25, 2014 xBroken Recommended Who else watches pretty much anything that comes out at least ep 1 or ep 2 to see if they like it? I'm also one of those person who watches series at least 1 or 2 ep to see if I'll drop it or watch it, at first no doubt about it, the characters were so CUTE and that really helped me to watch it...then I didn't care about how cute they were now, the plot caught my eyes, and I was pretty much getting really close really really close to dropping this series, but then....oh boy I'm glad I did not drop it Yuuki Yunna ...

Dec 26, 2019 sketchesofpayne Recommended I watched this when it first aired and thought it was pretty good (especially as a mahou shoujo fan). Coming back to it years later after having seen the prequel and sequel series and watching it a couple more times I think it's excellent. I love the abstract eastern-mysticism theme. I got a better feel for the characters the second time through. The visual design is unique and appealing. The voice acting is excellent, as is the music. It's not really playing the "subversion" card, rather it's being straight-up slice of life to get the viewer attached to the characters so ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 24, 2018 Gloryas Recommended [SPOILER FREE REVIEW] I am in love with this anime. I must say that it was not what I first expected, but I am a huge fan of it now. I hope my review will be helpful to decide if it is also something for you :) What am I going to discuss in this review? Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 22, 2020 Tamaki_ki Recommended This is one of very few shows I've found myself coming back to, overall I really enjoy and love this series, but despite thinking this is a 10/10, would watch again, I wouldn't call it a perfect show. From a weebs POV, someone who rarely watches stuff anymore, this is one of few shows I have no problem coming back to. The characters are a joy to see on the screen and their interactions with each other is also very nice! Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 31, 2014 HolotheCat Recommended Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru – “You’re likely to succeed if you try” Many have claimed it is just a Madoka copy, and yes the character designs are Madoka based. That I can’t refute when Yuuki looks exactly like Madoka and Fuu looks very much like Mami. But once you start to watch the story and understand what is going on, Yuuki Yuuna is its own story, with its own characters, and its own beauty. Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 13, 2015 Psycho_Pass Recommended My thoughts after the first few episodes: “The OP and music is great, the art is clean and colorful, but it seems like a standard Magical Girl anime”. My thoughts after the last few episodes: ”Wow, that was a rollercoaster of emotions! And it actually turned out to be more like a contemporary Magical girl anime”. As of late, the Magical Girl genre has given us anime like “Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica” and the “Selector WIXOSS” series. Joining their ranks is “Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru”, an anime that shares many themes with the aforementioned ones. The primary theme, of course, is the power ...
