Review – Stratos 4 I watched Stratos 4 a long time ago, back when I was diving into the yuri world, desperately looking for a good sapphic anime — which, let’s be honest, is hard to find. I stumbled upon this one by chance and, for some reason, thought it was yuri. It had all the signs: a group of girls living together, some tension in the air, and even a moment that almost led to a kiss... but it wasn’t what I expected.To be blunt: the anime isn’t very good. And I usually enjoy almost everything I watch. The animation is average, the pacing is slow, and the episodes feel like they go nowhere. It was hard to get through — I nearly dropped it. Things only picked up near the end, with some decent action and a plot twist that, honestly, was the one thing that saved it.

In the end, I think I would've liked it more if it was yuri. Everything was there, ready to go, but it just never delivered — and that “almost” isn't enough to carry an already lukewarm story.
