Borror0, you're complaining that there's too much lesbians? XD we have our own preferences...
Like I said, there isn't any male character. So to whom should they show their affection/overwhelming admiration?

this is one of my fav. series. . .as you mentioned the yuri is excellent!
and the "make out" scenes. . .are GORGEOUS!
specially when yaya and hikarri . . .well when yaya rapes hikari. . .i loved it!
ever since ive had a thing looking for good yuris. . .and I havent found anything similar. . .its top notch when it comes to yuri. . .
tho im watching aoi hana ATM and it looks promising .
*opens the door*
NAGISTA!!!! AISHTERU!!!

Basically, yes. I like yuri, too, but there is a limit to how much I can turn my brain off.
A school of lesbians is just too unrealistic for me to ignore.

I don't understand your argument...
Each and every event DID contribute to the story and the development of the characters and their bonds with eachother.

Sorry, I'll try to be more specific. I guarantee nothing since I don't remember everything quite right.
(click to show/hide)The Spica storyline was, overall, unpersuasive. Hikari admires Aname and falls deeply in love with her? Aname hears her sing and falls in love with her? Maybe, that might happen although it is unlikely. After that, there is no development between the two. They don't get to learn about each other all that much but Aname's love for Hikari is enough for her to present herself as Étoile? How so? It's something that was presented as nearly impossible. She repeatedly said that she would never participate in the Étoile competition. But, all of sudden, she is fine with it? Hmmm...
Also, Hikari and Aname lack chemistry. They are pretty flavorless, one-dimensional characters (ie the shy girl and the idol) and seem only to be there to fill a gap. All in all, I view the whole arc to be a nuisance to the anime. Had the final story been Yaya-Hikari, I would probably feel different. I think Yaya could have made of Hikari a much more interesting character and less of a brainless fangirl.
Talking about those two, the whole forced kiss thing is unexploited! It should have been.
The Nagisa-Shizuma relationship was strong. They had chemistry. It's the only thing that kept me from dropping the series. But, there were very little interaction between the two for most of the anime. Nearly all the time, Nagisa was with her other friends. That's fine if it is to build the Tamao-Nagisa relationship for a better ending but that rarely, if ever, happened. I am trying to remember an instance were I can really say that it has brought them closer in any significant way but I cannot picture anything past their previous encounter. Can you?
If the author had put more emphasis on the Nagisa-Shizuma relationship, I think it would have been a far better story. The two characters were interesting. Shizuma was mysterious and deep. Nagisa was innocent but not flavorless. You could believe the romance between the two. But, when it comes to the end, it feels as if everything is rushed. That may be partly because everything before was slow paced but it just felt as if Shizuma's background was pulled out of thin air. I can see the logic behind her actions. It's not preposterous. It's simply not built up enough for an ending.
In the end, I realize that I am approaching this anime incorrectly. I was probably supposed to stop thinking and go "Moe!!^^"

I believe everything was well set, even tho they didnt spend that much time togheter, everything did have a meaning and was cooperating to the building of their relationship. . .
and the spica thing. . .well yeah. . .its like a side story and all. . .
ohh!
i love the scene when amane is about to hit on nagisa!
and then shizuma comes and COUGH!! and tells her like "back off bitch shes mine!"
