| Oof I love this show |
 |
| That look her dad gave threw me off since the manga handled it differently ....Yuzu continues to be one of my favorite leads in a romance anime.. Feel bad for her though. She's giving up her love because she thinks Mei needs more family love which is both true and false as people will see coming soon Aint nothing wrong with being a bit selfish Yuzu |
| Mei's dad looks really younger, at thay last moment I thought "well, Momokino is out of the equation... let's just add daddy, he is back and fits with the triangle". We'll see where this is going... |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
Hibikase said: Citrus thus far has been a show that fails on many fronts to say anything meaningful, even though it had many opportunities and potential themes that could've been focused on and explored to greater lengths to give this show depth. However, I can perfectly accept this show as a somewhat trashy soap-opera/popcorn entertainment that doesn't take itself too seriously. The characters dynamics are enjoyable enough to watch, and nothing plot-wise sticks out as being particularly egregious, albeit shallow. The way the show presents drama is almost comedic at times, and is probably due to how poorly it handles tone shifts. Completely agree with this, especially the last sentence. But I've never wanted to drop it, I mean, despite everything, I have fun. ^^ |
| I really like the change of tone it's taking and how Mei and Yuzu seem to understand each other a lot better now. Who even looks at their daughter like that?  He made such a creepy looking smile, I'm not even sure what it was supposed to mean. |

| Yuzu went from being really obnoxious. To rather likable. It makes the show so much better when she acts more grounded, even if she's a horn dog that wants to dildo her step-sister. This episode was really well paced with some not character development. Mei's dad scares me though. I'm sensing pedo vibes there. |
| Well i didn't like it . I had no feeling while watching this episode unlike the previous episodes looks like they put so many events in One Episode which makes it a mess |

I really don't know if it's just the animation. He's making some really weird eyes when he sees Mei too.  I feel like I need to pick the manga again now, I'm too curious about what's going on with that. >.> |
antabakax said: I got annoyed by this episode, Yuzu is thinking only about kissing & doing other stuff with Mei when what she needs is support, she doesn't want to play around I mean, did you watch the entire episode? Yuzu comes to the realization that what Mei needs is a family more than a lover, which is why she decides to behave more like an older sister, even though that's not what she herself wants. |
| I thought they were going to go all out this episode but I guess not, this was my second favorite manga chapter (Chapter 6), so it's kinda sad, but I see why they did some of the things they did. But did they have to cut out this? X_X Okay, so next episode should be the first climax, and from there, things will get bumpy in many good and weird ways. The only annoying thing will be Matsuri, I just hope they give her less screen time after her the next arc is over. Hopefully, the animation will also get a boost in the ensuing episodes because coming from the manga, quite frankly the art and animation are a bit disappointing, but I do think the sound design and composition make up for a lot of it. If not, I hope it gets fixed in blu-rays cuz I'm buying that shit when FUNimation releases it. I enjoyed the episode, even as a manga reader, I give a solid 8/10. |

| Decent episode, it was enjoyable. But I'm somehow disappointed with how they animated some of the scenes, like the train and the graveyard, which were more powerful in the manga. And as some people already pointed out, pace was really too fast for the events to have any meaningful impact. I still have a lot of expectations for "that" scene (next ep or the one after depending on the pacing) so I hope they don't mess it up... Still looking forward to next week ! |

Heh. Don't count on that. |

Yeah, he could be, but it's still really creepy to me. Well, I was making a joke, pretty sure I would stop watching if it ever took that road. |

| Legit, this episode was a bit sensual... Got me a little hot under the collar. Yuzu was on such a roll an' now she's torn between trying to love Mei's and supporting Mei because she loves her T-T T-T LEGIT, I thought somebody was gonna get murdered. |

uninstallthegame said: EcchiKingMamster said: good fucking lord this is so hot why does the score keep dropping? you picky fucks basically, 'cause it's a yurimouto and the story is lacking something, that's what i've read and heard The manga has way more impact with its plot, it is almost 100% the same, but the way it is portrayed along with the art makes the difference! Still there have been citrus episodes that surpassed the manga, like the last one, this one wasnt has good, sadly they didnt give it enough height to one of my favorite scenes (the graveward where Yuzu cries realizing Mei needs a sister and not a lover). It was too much to ask to end the episode there, it would have been better if they did but wouldnt be realistic, makes more sense they ended it with the dad showing up. But it would have been leagues better if they had add a more dramatic song to the graveward conclusion, with Yuzu crying loud and the scene fadding to black, like a moment of silence... Next episode is going to be soo freaking hot and cute towards the end, I can really see where they will end. They adapted around 50-55 pages here (1.5 chapter) and next time they will adapt more 55 pages (2 chapters, since one is really shorter). Lets hope they put proper height to that ending scene, cuz I wanna have my brain melt and have an overdose of diabetes! |

 |
| Mei's dad had a really scary look at the end. |
 |
stone616 said: I've watched all the episodes and honestly I can't really tell where she stands on her supposed step sister's lust for her. Her kissing her sister seems completely out of character for her. you what? all of the episodes? you mean 5/12 that aired so far? |
|
| This ep was pretty good, but I was a little creeped out at the end. Mei's dad comes in and is all happy and silly, but as soon as he saw Mei he got that creepy look on his face and I did not like it. |
 |
stone616 said: Yeah all the episodes so far there's been 5. To this point outside the random kisses she's shown no romantic interest in Yuzu. The show is mostly just Yuzu obsessing over Mei somewhat hot and cold treatment of her riding that treatment up and down. We're 42% done with the series and this remains the case. you know what? i can agree with you on this one, it goes 1 by 1 with manga without skipping details and it's just too much build up for 12 episodes, but i predict that the ending will fall either on a positive note, or on a cliffhanger, which will suck ass, because i don't think this will get a season 2 any time soon |
|
| Probably the best episode so far. Holy damn, Mei's lips were beautifully animated for a second during the crêpe scene, though. And looks like Mei's dad made his appearance! Although, the way he looked at her was unusual for sure, lmao. |
  |
| I lovee the series so far. It gets better with every episode. I felt a lot of character development in all of the main cast minus Harumi, and I'm so happy to see Shou come back at the end in order to the family to meet Yuzu. This episode was funny, heart warming, and sad all in the short timespan. If you hated the series up to this point, i think tink this episode will really make you understand why I love this series. Also the scene in where Shou hugged Yuzu and she mistaked it for sexual assault was hilarious OMG. It kinda reminds me of the innocence of Son Goku and when Bulma mistook some of his actions as sexual but they weren't. Oh the hilarious scenes. OMG THE GRAVEYARD SCENE MADE ME CRY AS I LOST A FAMILY MEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IT JUST CLICKED. IF I WERE TO HAVE A NEW SIBLING, I WOULD HAVE TO DO WHAT YUZU DID AS IT WOULD HELP ME WITH MY GRIEVING. I CANT BELIEVE ITS BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE THAT FAMILY MEMBER DIED. Yeah this episode felt really relatable to me. |

It's one of those turn your brain off and just watch it and don't question what you see shows. It's a chain of psychologically unhealthy people in unhealthy relationships. Mei is to me the major issue with the show. I've watched all the episodes and honestly I can't really tell where she stands on her supposed step sister's lust for her. Her kissing her sister seems completely out of character for her. Honestly if all the romance on one sides romance was removed from this show and it was just about step sisters bonding and growing closer it would be a much better show. Either that are remove the step sister aspect and have it be a pure romance show without the family concept. I have to say I completely agree. Everyone in this show is mentally unstable lmao (and I'm not saying that to be rude). |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Great episode! Seems like they were laying on the fanservice real thick the previous episodes, but it's definitely been toned down. Feels like we're slowly getting more substance with Mei x Yuzu which could never be a bad thing! Himeko was also TOLERABLE this episode, which was a welcome change. That ending as well!! Apparently Mei's Dad is fine af, which makes sense because she's a stunner. With him added to the mix, who knows what's gonna happen? I'm looking forward to the next ep! |

| Well this is the second anime that has referenced the Philippines this season (The other one being Killing Bites) This episode felt a little speedy, jumping from one scene to another, but it wasn't really a big deal. The triangle ended quickly, but it ended on a good note. Yuzu thinking for her sister and Himeko. Good Girl Yuzu. Mei's dad...based on how he looks...oh boy, please don't tell me he's that type of father who does that to his daughter... |

I thought it was written on his face but ok It doesn't look creepy tbh, this "smirk" but I see it as a smile like hey it's been a long time my daughter. I've read the manga but even if I didn't I think I will have the same conclusion, people just watch too much hentai I guess. They didn't zoom in the "smirk" nuff said |

| The end of this episode = Onichichi |
 |
| Yuzu is pretty damn selfish with everything regarding Mei, like no matter what she does she always has the angle that she wants Mei to love her in some way. I don't hate it, just pointing it out and I want to see how much her character may change from now |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I don't think these girls could ever resolve what's really wrong with each other. Especially considering Mei has some sort of shit for her dad?? Her mentally unstable ways of affection seems pretty clear that her dad or 'sensei' did some wack shit with her lol |
 |
| It's hard being Yuzu...poor girl, she is in love but she knows that right now Mei needs to get her family problems solved (like always ,anyway...), that scene in the cemetery was well done, but in the manga, since we choose the time to flip the page it was more emotional. Shou just looks like a high hippie and his purple eyes might scare some people, but don't get insane anime watchers only, he is not a bad person. |
 |
| I read the manga and didn't expect Shou to be that tan. |
