This is gonna be my first review. It can contain some spoilers.
You know these Latin American soap operas? They just have one objective: to entertain people with a shoddy plot. Well, citrus did exactly the same.
Citrus was entertaining but a garbage too. It had the stupidest and cringiest scenes I’ve ever seen in anime.
The story was an average “oh I have a new member in my family and I’m already sexual attracted to it”. But i agree that a repetitive plot can be certainly good, but in case if Citrus it was a wasted potential. None of the characters helped in making this interesting, it was all a meaningless drama accompanied by a lot of fan service.
The characters were fake, boring and you weren’t able to feel empathy for them. Sometimes they were very cringy, specially during love confessions. For example, the part that make me want to rip my balls off the most was in episode 11 where the purple haired girl felt in love with Mei and referred her as her destiny, all that in 5 hours! So lack of sense!
The animation was ok, i don't have issues with it. The opening and ending songs were very nice.
So, if you want to see a fully japanese animated soap opera, Citrus is your best option!
