Citrus

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.

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.

Citrus was a very average anime for me, which means I overall enjoyed it and wouldn't mind watching it again in the future. The show does a good job with the main character, making it easy to follow and root for her. The same cannot be said for her sister; however, as I found her character and motivations to be inconsistent and extremely hard to follow. Its almost like she has two different personas that pop in and out at random times, and it made it difficult for me to get behind her character. The show also throws in quite a bit of story tropes that you would typically find in this genre. Luckily, the strong character moments really help out here and make it so I can give the tropes a pass for the most part. I think you would likely have a good time watching Citrus, but I would also say there's no rush to check it out.

Rating: 6.0

Is it yuri bait? Yes. Is it entertaining most of the time? Yes. Are the yuri elements forced? Yes. Does it have much substance? No. All in all, this show is just good looking yuri bait, that's it. The actual plot is just there to put the characters into more yuri scenes.

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