Citrus

I will say, this has came as a surprise for me. I have never heard of Yuri and didn't watch anime in general yet this grabbed me and didn't let go. I even went out and bought all the manga because I enjoy the complicated characters so much. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Give it the three episode treatment. You may just enjoy it as much as me. Cheers!

Yuzu Aihara is an easy going girl who finds her dyed blonde hair and dress sense aren't appreciated at her new school; particularly by student council president Mei Aihara. Yuzu has changed schools because her mother has remarried; she gets quite a shock when she learns that Mei is her new step-sister! To make matters worse they have to share a room. Yuzi is further shocked when Mei kisses her; she says it was just to shut her up but soon Yuzi realises she is starting to develop feelings for Mei. As the series progresses it frequently looks as if they will get together as a couple then complications arise.

This series is rather sweet; the lead characters are suitably different which creates some tension and makes one wonder how it will all work out... it isn't until the final episode that we learn if they will become a couple. The way Yuzi is tentative about telling Mei how she feels about her is very believable; she hasn't been in a relationship before and certainly never thought she might be attracted to a girl. The series manages to avoid excessive fan service; it is about their potential budding romance not what they may ultimately get up to. The character designs are good and the animation is impressive. Overall this is a charming example of the genre with enough drama and likeable protagonists; I hope there is a second series.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

While I haven't watched a ton of yuri anime, I thought this one was great in comparison to some others. I thought the plot was good and I loved all the characters, especially some of the sidekicks. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I enjoy yuri anime because it pertains to myself & I haven't been able to find a decent one, until Citrus.

Citrus is the best anime what I ever seen. I hope they do season two. When they do it, I'll be the happiest person in the world. I'm a big fan. Yuzu and Mei is very cute couple.

I really liked this anime. It's sweet, it's interesting and the art is beautiful. However, I do wish there wouldd've been more romance between Yuzu and Mei. It feels like the first season is more of a foundation for anoter one. From time to time the story does drag a bit as well. But still, I ended up liking it.
