| I think this episode was so much better than the first! Certainly more comfortable at least XD Really looking forward to seeing the characters open up more and to see what they're really thinking. If every episode after is like this then I think this could be pretty good... Also who else thought Yuzu was awesome this week? |
| I hope it gets better. For now it's almost painful to watch. Don't really get where the supposed feelings came from, seems too forced. And Mei is so aggressive for no particular reason. |
  |
| i feel like its going really nice. i didn't read the manga so i don't know how good its actually going but i'm enjoying it and i hope it gets even better. the one thing i didn't like is that it seemed a bit rushed i mean only two episodes were completed and she already thinks that she's in love(well..there are animes where they take tooo long to realize). it would have been better if it happened in episode 3 or 4. that's all . nice episode |

TheSupremeXtream said: 3DPD said: Are you trying to troll me? It's obvious that Yuzu does not mind the attention. In fact, by seeking out Mei after she is taken from home, she is inviting that sort of sexual contact. So you're victim blaming? Idk man, I don't think anyone should have to be thwarted from going to someone's house under risk of being Sexually Assaulted. Besides she was going there to return her suitcase in this Adaptation (unlike in the Manga where she followed her, and maybe then you can make a case). Either way you're logic is retarded! I can't be victim blaming if there is no victim. Yuzu enjoyed every moment of it and, therefore, Mei did nothing wrong. Also *your. Mamumba_Mobono said: 3DPD said: Even if it were possible for Mei to be a rapist, it's obvious that Yuzu is not being raped because her attempts at "fighting back" are very feeble. She clearly wants what is happening to her or else she would be making real attempts to stop Mei's advances. She would also be trying to distance herself from Mei in social situations which, judging by the latest episode, is the opposite of what's Yuzu wants. "It's not rape because your attempts at defense are too half-assed" is I think the single most disgusting rape apolgetics I've heard in my entire life :v It's actually quite irrelevant whether Yuzu wants it or not (I posit that you have very little reason to think she genuinely does beyond a surprisingly rapid Stockholm syndrome), what matters are Mei's intentions and the anime makes no attempts to present her as anything but malicious. For all we know her ONLY goal is to hurt Yuzu. Everything else is sheer rationalization on your part. You can SAY her reasons are more complicated, but you're literally contradicting the show. Stop twisting what you're being shown to have your juvenile fantasy and just take the story at face value. I can't be rape apologizing if there was no rape. Yuzu was actively seeking out Mei. She enjoyed her sexual interactions with her imouto so much that she wanted more. If she were truly raped then there would be no way that she would try her best to not only talk to Mei, but also to make sure that she stayed in the same home. I am taking the story at face value. And, no, this is not a "juvenile fantasy". Wanting to see two women hold hands, fall in love, and grow old together is a very mature and worldly viewpoint. Just because you're homophobic and want to portray lesbians as insane rapists (a horrendous and widespread trope) does not mean that your radical beliefs match up with reality. |

Yep! To add to that, Harumin is a great supporting character. For a while during this ep I wanted her to be the a 2nd MC since she's way more fun than Mei who's pretty bland so far but then again, there wouldn't be much of an anime if that contrast wasn't there. |
| That old man is a handful! why not just let his grand daughter have som lesbo action huh? if you're lucky you might even get a chance to join in! |
 |
| I'm surprised the Grandpa hasn't divorced the mom already lol. Not even a marriage if he isn't with his wife ever. |

| does anyone have the picture where she told her "do you show other people that look" without subs? it looks great tbh. |

| >Sexual assault AGAIN How was the grandpa even able to take Mei away like that? Don't they have laws against that kind of shit in Japan? Yuzu is still hilarious |

| The pacing suddenly ramped up... and that's all I can say about this episode, lol. Although honestly, that chairman grandpa is such a #$?!. How dare he try to stop the yuri romance! |
| Well, that escaleted quickly. I wonder how dumb she can even be? To be expelled from the school so quickly and to ofend not only the director but her would be grandad, that's gotta take some guts and no brain. She didn't even realize she is making problems to her mother with her actions as her step-father would probably have to deal with it at some time too (his grandad won't be happy with his step-grandchild behavior). Really don't know the way out of this mess... other than she would apologize and start wearing her clothes properly. I know she thinks she's fighting the system but isn't her behavior even worse? |
| An appropriate level of conflict that will be difficult to overcome. |
 |
| When Mei trying to tear up Yuzu’s cloth, here comes the that BGM again... |

Just because you're homophobic and want to portray lesbians as insane rapists (a horrendous and widespread trope) does not mean that your radical beliefs match up with reality. Well, of course she acts towards her this way, because author made her do it, despite the way Mei goes about that is rapey as fuck. The 'horrendous trope' is being spread by works like that, what are you even on about. I've seen a handful of yuri and it's so common that one is being forceful and creepy af, from what I've heard it's often the same in yaoi. People are very apolegtic about that, I wonder if they would still refuse to call it assault if it was a man forcing himself on a woman he barely knows, trying to tear up her clothes when she's trying to break free and saying stop, stop. This is a horrible portrayal of romance. |

| @Imaishi To you and anyone else who is considering dropping this anime, I would ask you to please consider reading the manga instead of just being done with the story outright. It seems like the anime adaptation is trying to be more explicit than the manga. For instance, the first time that Mei kissed Yuzu, she was much more forceful in the anime. In the manga, it looks like Mei just surprised Yuzu and kissed her unexpectedly, then pulled away. It didn't show Yuzu struggling and kicking her makeup box over like it does in the anime. There are several more scenes like that, just in these first two episodes. It looks to me like the manga will be the superior version, especially if the anime continues with the alternate interpretations that make the scenes more sensationalist. |
MarioCrashFan110 said: Yeah, it is a shame where people just drop it already because they don't give it a chance to see why this is really happening. This series is really good. I'm enjoying it so far. Indeed, well I'm glad you and many others are still enjoying the show. I think the dropping is mostly just because of unwarranted expectations. Nobody who read Citrus ever said it would be a typical, drama-free, family-friendly "romance". Quite the opposite, but that's why I like it :) For those still complaining, I would like to direct you to the summary on MAL: "So instead of a sweet high-school romance, she (Yuzu) butts heads with the stern student council president Mei—who turns out to be her new stepsister. And she has to learn that hate and attraction are often not that far apart." So if you have complaints about this series because it's not the fluffy romance expected, you have none to blame but yourself, because this is how it was written and intended. Verily. Off you go now, and if you are still interested in Yuri but not Citrus, I recommend Sakura Trick and Candy Boy for all of your fluffy Yuri needs. |

| Girl gets sexually assaulted but it's ok because she actually likes it the animation. I'm still watching this and enjoying it? okay. |
| Hmmm, Oniisama E is that you??? |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| To be honest, I really ship Yuzu and Harumi. Mhhhh, just the beauty. |

| Good job adapting this part, that's so sad, mei putting her frustrated feelings through sexual assault on yuzu, showing how broken she is, granpa's expectationds plus no father on her side. Glad that Yuzu now is there for her. Looking forwad to next week's episode. |
 |
| I can't stop giggling during meodramatic moments it just feels reaply weird and unnatural lol and the plot kinda reminds me of Domestic na Kanojo I hope this melodrama b/w the two ends quickly and focus more on their relationship. Love me some yuri though |
| Hmm their first foray as a new family huh. Yuzu looked terrified of Mei after her first kiss. Mei's behaviour really is unpredictable though. Yuzu's plan sure backfired. So the teacher is the one that is engaged to Mei and is in fact only taking advantage of her. Looks like Mei really misses her father though. Yuzu's speech sure was bold though. So the consequence of Yuzu's stunt was Mei being taken away then. Yuzu is surprisingly perceptive though at times though. Looks like Mei's situation is more complex than Yuzu thought. |

| im sorry but why r their reviews already? i mean there's only 2 episodes...there's 10 more to go bruhhh |
 |
| That grandpa looks like Miyazaki XD Yuzu reking the male teacher out of his job and she fell in love with mei way too fast. Mei doing the rapey assaults as a way to show her feelings of sadness or something but yuzu is there for her now :'( |
 |
| I felt like they're rushing Yuzu to declare her feelings. And Mei is just too generic. Hopefully the story gets better. I liked the first episode...hoping for a good 3rd episode. |
| I've haven't seen much yuri or shoujo ai, nor have i read the manga of Citrus, But so far the anime is Okay. But its like Mei's answer to everything is sexual assault ;-; |
 |
| This episode was a bit rushed feeling...so many things happened. Episode 2 and Yuzu is expelled already!? Harumin has good fashion sense! and she's hot as well! Looks like our girl is in-love... but already? or she's just exploring? 4/5. |
 |
| Lmao. When Yuzu exposed the teacher. Hahaha. Nice. He's an asshole and his ass deserved it. That chairman was an asshole, too, though. Why is every male in this show an asshole? Pfffft. I feel bad for Mei. She's going through a lot. Wanna know more about her, tbh. Not as good as the first, but it's okay. 4/5. |

| "It's not rape if we both are crying" |
| What normal human beings would do when they get in a troubled situation: 1: Talking to the person who is bothering them, telling them not to butt in their affairs because they don't know well about it 2:Throwing whatever is nearby at her and telling her to SHUT UP 3:(Most Extreme) forcibly shoving her out of the room Mei: I MUST RAPE YUZU |
| Beautiful when she spook with the teacher!!! |
| It was an OK episode. The main thing that ticked me off was that Yuzu is already in love? What? The girl needs to slow down a bit. I will probably stick to this a bit more since I want to learn more about Mei and what she is going through. |
 |
| Things are getting more interesting. The part with Yuzu already having feelings for Mei was rushed for me as well. I know from reading the manga it's gonna get better and they actually have chemistry together after all this forced kissing phase passes. |
| I'm really loving this anime a lot |
