Citrus

Cute and interesting, pretty art and good storyline. i loved this anime and it convinced me to read the manga, so i can't wait to see how they animate the next pert (hopefully season 2!)

The story is weird but standard for a Yuri anime. If you are looking for a new favorite high school anime then don't come to this anime. The animation is fine, the story is predictable but also weird at the same time. There is a lot of blatant sexual assault in the show that is in public and practically unnoticed and a lot of the plot is made under the most unrealistic circumstances in a show. The only thing that stood out for me was that the animators were able to have the main character try to stand out by completely changing her appearance from the other girls but remember that she along with everyone else in this show is very generic. 6/10 needs more cops.

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.

The story is awesome so far, I'm looking forward for the 2nd season. :c

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.
