What do you guys expect of the anime adaptation of Citrus? I'm not sure how they will make it work or how it will turn out as a shoujo ai because of all of the straight up yuri. But I'm excited and I hope that Citrus is actually developed into an anime that is done properly.

the girl in the manga are hot but in the key visual given to us they look awful so this will make it less exiting to me .
so with bad visuals and the manga having a good-decent plot witch become bad after a while his anime won't be so good but the lovely characters may save it

I agree that the visual looks ugly, very sad.

I'm assuming it will be coming in fall as summer is soon approaching and there hasn't been anything new about it for some time.

About anticipation, I am quite interested in watching it, hope it will be good.

I'm excited, personally. This was my first Yuri manga and I really like it. I wouldn't take the "Shoujo Ai" tag too seriously at this point since there's no way MAL could really know with so little to go on, but I would certainly be disappointed if any of the more intimate scenes were watered down. Especially since I have high hopes for Saburouta to eventually take the relationship all the way, like Morinaga did with Girlfriends.

My friend (who has read the manga) said a lot of good things about this series, so I'm looking forward to it.

Speaking of Key Visuals, the Key Visuals or at least what we have for now don't look that bad in all honesty. Compared to what I saw from the manga which are the covers tbh, for that it looks okay.

I think differently on it. OF COURSE it could have been better but for me? It looks fine. I do get a bit for the manga art but for what it works it works I guess. Yet to see a PV or something to see through. Plus anime can't really keep much detail nowadays compared to manga art.

Citrus is my favorite manga and Aihara Mei is one of my favourite characters of all time. I have high hopes for this... It will probably be 13 episodes, however, I wish it was 26 episodes with each episode being 23 minutes long.

One month to go; I'm quite excited for this. I'm still baffled that we haven't heard anything about a Girlfriends adaptation, since it seems to me like a no-brainer from a financial perspective, but this was the other Yuri manga I was sure would get a full-length adaptation. Bloom Into You probably will as well, it's just not far enough along yet.

There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show.

I super excited for it. Citrus is one of my favorite manga, and I'm glad it's getting an anime. The animation as seen in the preview isn't great... definitely not as good as the art in the manga. But it's passable. I just hope they don't botch it. Which sadly I won't be surprised if they do. Still, I hope for the best.

It's a little disheartening when you think about what a train wreck NTR was. Seeing as how both that and Citrus were supposedly the first two "legit yuri anime" (which I'm not entirely in agreement with, but hey it's whateves.) But the NTR manga is kinda trash too, so the fact that the anime wasn't that good didn't surprise me.

Let's just hope for the best.

It's a pretty slow story imo, I doubt that they'd be able to adapt even a small part of the currently available manga in 12 episodes, the manga's pretty gucci though I'm not gonna lie

I don't get the complaint that it's slow. It's only a bad thing if there is no emotional payoff. Slow build-up is really good if it builds character and gives us a reason to care about these characters and understand their motivations and struggles.

Strawberry Panic, as weird as it is, actually developed romance and character far beyond many yuri-related anime I've seen, which is why the moment when the characters actually kiss and face their feelings is that much more rewarding.

Let's just hope they establish the characters well, tell the story in a way that makes sense, and don't screw up the romance angle of the story. Please. I need a good yuri anime for once.

I can't wait for this anime, I needed another full on Yuri anime after the brilliance of Yuri Kuma Arashi. Hopefully, it won't turn out as bad as NTR was, that thing was shit honestly, couldn't enjoy any of it.

Since it's going to cover to volume 4, I guess most of us manga readers know that there would be a good climax for the final episode. Honestly I have high hopes for this but at the same time I'm lowering my expectations.

I don't have that much of an issue with the character designs to be honest. Sure not as beautiful as in the manga, but I like it. Guess it's just another simple matter of preferences.

The only thing I am is super excited for this to come. Without a doubt the one show I'm looking forward to the most next season! Hopefully it'll turn out to be a decent adaptation as well!

To be honest, it's actually more of an in-between. It's not as "tame" as shoujo-ai, but neither does it go anything beyond kissing, holding hands and stuff. At least, so far.

shoujo ai =Romance between girls
The difference btw yuri and shoujo ai is that shoujo ai is more tame

Citrus is like the Attack on Titan of yuri. Oh boy.

I'd like to remind everyone to the fact that yuri and shoujo ai are literally the same thing, so it makes no sense to debate "which one" Citrus is going to be. "Shoujo ai" was coined by Western fans to describe yuri that isn't sexually explicit, and in Japan, the phrase "shoujo ai" is instead related to p*dophilia. Also in Japan, yuri is usually marketed as "Girls Love", and sexually explicit material simply gets the R-18 tag like any other sexually explicit anime or manga, doujin, VN etc. Wikipedia

Back to the subject at hand: I'm more interested in how the adaptation will choose to tell the same story. Will it adapt only the first four volumes? If it doesn't, how far will it go? Will the first episode set up the series in a less ham-fisted way than the manga did? How likeable or "hateable" will Mei be?

But I agree that it won't be to the anime's benefit if the intimate scenes are watered down, as they are the main selling point of the manga. Unlike most stories in the yuri genre where the emotional aspect is emphasized, Citrus is very h*rny (for better or worse) and isn't very concerned with "substance" (again, for better or worse), so I'm not sure what the point of the adaptation would be if it didn't stick close to the source in that regard. (The lack of substance of the manga isn't why I think it isn't good, but I don't want to get too off-topic.) I think a better question is how much sakuga there will be in the scenes in question.

Actually, Taketatsu Ayana is the only seiyuu that I'm fine with. I just don't know if Tsuda Minami is going to be able to do a good job as Mei and the other VAs seem like odd choices for their characters, they just don't sound right.

I mean, Ueda Kana as Yuzu and Mei's mom? Don't get me wrong, she's one of my favorite VAs and I love her voice, but she doesn't fit this kind of character. It feels like they're trying to make up for something by getting some big name VAs into the anime while disregarding the fact that they don't match the characters very well or at all.

I understand your concerns. Still, it may be bet to reserve judgment on the voices until you've seen the first episode at least. The voice actors might just surprise you yet. It's their job to adapt to a role, after all.
