Green Yuri anime trailer debuts, Nirvana confirmed for opening

tvJul 3, 202640939

The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All got its first anime trailer from CloverWorks, teasing a January 2027 premiere and surprising fans by using Nirvana's song Breed as the opening. Dave Grohl appears in the accompanying video holding a copy of Sumiko Arai's work and saying Kurt Cobain would have loved the series, a moment people are replaying as an emphatic endorsement. The teaser also undercuts the webcomic's signature green monochrome look by showing the adaptation in full color, which has become a running point in fan reactions and speculation about how long the anime will cover the characters' college years.

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

Nirvana is the perfect level of "highschool japanese person thinks this is obscure".

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

Kurt being a trans lesbian has been the most open "secret" in all of music history and I don't know why people keep pretending otherwise.

RIP, Kurt Cobain, vc teria amado yuri

Breed being the Opening of a girl’s love anime is possibly one of the most Kurt Cobain things I can think of

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.

@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.
