Green Yuri anime trailer debuts, Nirvana confirmed for opening

tvJul 3, 2026661,502

The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All got its first CloverWorks trailer and a January 2027 premiere on Crunchyroll, and the reveal that Nirvana's "Breed" will open the anime set the current surge of attention. The announcement was amplified by a short video of Dave Grohl meeting the mangaka and saying "Kurt would have loved this," an image people keep returning to as a surreal stamp of approval. Discussions pick up on the tonal mismatch and charm of using a 90s alt rock song for a gentle green yuri story, with some noting surprise that the adaptation will be in color rather than monochrome. Small, specific moments, library anime-club jokes about Green Day, debates over whether Kurt Cobain would actually have appreciated the series, and Grohl physically holding a copy of the manga, anchor what people are sharing about the trailer.

Green Yuri anime has a teaser! It appears they are not doing the whole thing in monochrome (understandable, would've been fun though) *and* they have done the correct thing of using an existing 90s rock song as the OP Jan 2027

The buzz is that this is getting the good production, like this will be among the fancier Yuri adaptations which doesn't surprise me much

Kids in the library's anime club (that I run) were joking that the opening should be Green Day, but getting "Breed" by Nirvana is pretty badass Alright, Green Yuri anime, you have my attention

@freakinasheet.bsky.social

From the little accompanying video that Crunchyroll put out next to the teaser trailer: Dave Grohl, of Nirvana, holding up a copy of Green Yuri in an interview with the author and literally saying "yeah, Kurt would have loved this" is a fucking all-timer of an image

The way I pre-wrote this shell this morning not guessing they'd premiere Green Yuri's trailer today.

the yuri sorcerer

@yurisorcerer.bsky.social

so the trailer for Green Yuri's anime dropped. New discourse: would Kurt Cobain have appreciated the series or would he be one of those people who thinks it's overrated?

screenshot from the trailer showing that the opening theme is fucking "Breed" by Nirvana

He'd probably appreciate the earnest adoption of music and mood to convey teen spirit, but he'd find the fan reaction lionizing it kinda weird and grating.

I think he would have appreciated teen girls fucking to his music tbh

Kurt Cobain, who admired in his journals how male seahorses are the ones who carry the young, who constantly said his peers in the riot grrrl scene in Olympia were underrated & underappreciated compared to other acts, who constantly exalted his rock & roll wife Courtney Love, would love yuri anime.
