anime
Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury are some very good shows with explicit yuri elements, and Revolutionary Girl Utena is my favourite show, period.
I entirely owe my teenage years to yuri-bait anime and games like Love Live!, Hibike! Euphonium, Bang Dream, and their fanworks (these two amvs went hard). Recently Bang Dream: It's MYGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica have taken the crown for greatest rhythm game yuri anime of all time.
