| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mei's dad showing up...well this got awkward. However, this episode felt important as it gave more characterization to Mei. Her personality showed more this epsiode especially with Yuzu since she claims to need Yuzu now. However, it's nice to see Yuzu helping her out when she needed the most. |
 |
| This was my favorite episode from this series so far. Mei's Dad seems like a nice person, I liked him. Yuzu is such a sweetheart worrying about and trying her best to look out for Mei. Pretty bold of her to make that announcement but it worked out well enough. Loved the soundtrack for the bicycle riding scene. Glad Mei and her Dad were finally able to make up and that Mei was finally able to move forward with her own decisions. We got some good yuri scenes this week. XD New character appearance next episode. Wonder what he relation to Yuzu is. Also, Harumin was the true MVP of the episode. Nothing would've worked if she wasn't there to help Yuzu out. :3 |

| So this is Mei and Yuzu's father. The father is the type that will keep looking forward without being burdened by the past huh. Having a childhood image of someone conflict with reality and then trying to defend his place at the school must have been tough. Seizing the broadcast room to make that announcement was certainly bold but just like Yuzu. It's nice that they were able to see their father off and it looks like Mei was able to make peace with her burden. The new girl though looks to be a complex character. |

| I'm really happy with how this episode turned out, it adaptated the manga well and the pacing was better than last ep. Mei's finally begun to let her feelings show, that kiss scene was really cute. I wish everything will go smoothly after this... but we all know that more drama is coming. Matsuri was finally introduced, I'm really looking forward to next week ! |
| The papa was such a nice guy. It's a shame he left so soon. It was nice of Yuzu take Mei to him to say goodbye. Harumin was quite helpful. |
 |
| The true best girl arrives Imho, its perfect, her voice is cute and fits her slightly small figure and the way she delivers her line is mature so I don't get why people hate it |

| Yo... Matsuri's my favorite, but I had forgotten about that drama CD preview thing they did for the manga. Her voice is way too high pitched to me, but hopefully I'll get used to it. Poor wording. More specifically, her voice is too high pitched in relation to the one I have in my brain when reading the manga. If I was just watching this on its own and hadn't read beforehand, I most likely wouldn't care. |

| Hey...that episode was actually pretty good! Probably the best episode thus far imo, even though I felt like the events like happened was a little too jam-packed... maybe spreading it through 2 eps would've been a better idea. This episode was also better for its overall variety of visual presentation and fitting background music to match the more emotional scenes. Most importantly, it had nice consistent tone, with nothing too jarring interrupting the overall investment in what was going on. This episode also reinforced my opinion that Harumin is best girl, and that Yuzu should just ditch Mei for her. The show also used fan-service was less excessive and had a purpose outside of simply pandering by giving us more insight to the characters and their struggles. Overall, this episode was definitely a step up because of the development and depth we see our characters. The show is by no means perfect, and I still felt like some of the drama was a little misplaced/shallow at times, but this one episode gives me more hope that future episodes will be just as good. Also, the new pink-haired girl looks interesting, but her voice is a little high/squeaky in spite of the initial impression she gave off. I wonder how she will play a role in the future. |

| Ah, Matsuri arrives... She really was horrible at this point of the story. Can't say the voice fits her at all, though. |
 |
| if Harumin isn't the MVP and best gril then who the fuck is? Gaichi said: Hmm, more problems coming :/ lol, i can already see how the future threads are boiling with hatred >;) |

CompletelySFW said: I think this was the best episode thus far. The animation for the second kiss scene was kind of weird though, but I'm enjoying Mei's character development and that the anime is staying true to the manga. And oh gawd Matsuri's voice is completely off from what I've always thought she'd sound like when I read the manga. I don't think I'll ever get used to her voice, i'll just stick to my own for the manga. Her anime voice is -this- close to ruining her as my best girl. I gave a 4/5 i liked how the departure scene was a bit different from the manga. she actually approached him instead of shouting. indeed her voice is not the best, even though she's 15 it sounds too young for her |
|
| Not liking Matsuri's voice, expected a more tomboyish voice, not a squeaky one. Oh well, not like I can do anything but complain on these forums. |
| Mei's dad doesn't really come off as a bad guy even though he left his family behind to see the world. And Mei was totally fine seeing him off again even though he had just arrived, but she was satisfied with some closure/understanding of her fathers perspective and such. Still begs the question of why/how the hell did Ume get married to someone who is never home. Anyway, not sure what's up with the pink haired girl. Seems she'll be antagonistic. Also, Harumi best girl. |
| I totally agree with you guys, Matsuri's voice is way too high. I imagined it to be in the same category as Yuzu's. |

| well, I like this so far, but can see it hardly entering my collection, especially because I expect this to dont have an ending. finally they had their 1st consensual kiss, hope that that marks the chainge in their dinamics but I wouldn't care to much if it continued with the same dinamics. |
 |
| Wondering how many of the folks that saw this episode switched after it to some “more visually stimulating” stuff.. Probably a lot. Usually I hate short hair, but Matsuri is just God tier next to Rikka from Chuunibyou. Hope she’s kinky 3.3 |
 |
| Adaptation was great. Kisses were fine as well. If there's any complaint I have, It's Matsuri's voice. Definitely not what I imagined xd |

| Well, Citrus is becoming my favorite anime of this season! |

Well. The manga has yet to end, and it has 35+ chapters. So no, you will not see an ending, as the main "problem" Yuzu and Mei have to overcome has yet to be solved even in the manga. But you can bet that it will have a second season soon enough, as both the manga and anime are doing great. I think Citrus is the most popular yuri manga out there think the source is a LN and not a manga ? eitheir way LN/manga/ect. rates mean nothing to the anime, it is true they wanna ride that popularity but they will continue only if they feel they did it and that they can make more. I see really low chances of an s2 |

| Just drop the Mei crush already and fall in love with the best girl already! I'm referring to Harumin of course. Who else could it be? |

| I really liked the episode, maybe my favorite so far. I was worried about what Mei's dad would be like but he turned out to be a good guy and I'm glad he went off on good terms with her. Harumin's too good, she deserves more. And of course we need a new drama, I like the look of the new girl but I will have to get used to her voice. |

| Meis dad is really a nice guy. And wow,first real kiss in this show which wasn't full of rapeyness. Here comes another childhood friend. Liked that episode overall. |

| Matsuri...what have they done to you! Why ditch the drama CD va if they were going to direct a squeaky voice anyway?! Did Saburouta really have this in mind? *gloom |

| Good development of Mei's character. We got to see some yuri scenes in this ep although I expected more at this point of the story. Overall it was a really nice episode. I'm curious to see what happens with Matsuri. |
| Best episode so far. I'm also very amused by certain comments of anime-only watchers. |
| That last kiss was the first real one that both sides gave. Mei starting to love yuzu more and looks like the issue with her father got solved. New girl looks like she will be a pain in the butt, cant wait for next week! |
| Good episode. Mei rekindles her relationship with her dad, seemingly parting on a good note as he leaves again. Also the yuri scene were very nice as well. Was hoping for Mei to actually finger Yuzu but i guess that was too much to ask. Am looking forward to the next episode. |

| Ugh, I did not enjoy this episode. Mei's dad is a cool guy and all but Mei's development felt forced for some reason. Yuzu is just straight up annoying and tries way too hard for someone who doesn't even remotely care for her, that was shown in the scene in which Yuzu slapped Mei in. I just think that this is a bad series, not because of them being lesbians but because of its characters and their development. I don't see the same Yuzu that we saw in ep 1 anywhere and she was kinda interesting. |

 |
Obviously, but I rarely drop a series. I stick around to the end so that I can form a complete opinion on something |
|
| that scene when mei is running to her "papa" at the station must be the cringiest thing i've seen recently |
| Some good development on Mei's character this episode, that kiss at the end is a sign she really does have feelings for Yuzu. I wonder what will happen next. Harumin always there to help Yuzu, if she wasn't around, Mei and Yuzu wouldn't have been able to see their dad off. Overall, great episode! |
