Oh Citrus. This series may be the most debated over yuri anime of all time (Candy Boy is worse but lesser known). It is known for being controversial due to it being stepsisters who have just met along with some nonconsensual advances. Not every anime series especially yuri has to have characters without flaws. I am not condoning what happens in Citrus, but any of the major criticism online stops at those points.

I think everyone approaches this with well this is not a healthy relationship or representation, the show is awful. I think people who have not read the manga and went in blind were expecting it to be a wholesome show and are upset that it is not what they wanted a yuri anime to be. Yes, the anime community is starved for girls love, but not all of it is going to be amazing, perfect love stories.

Now let's get down to the anime content and quality itself. The art and soundtrack are really stunning. They are some of the best seen from a yuri series. My main issue is with how rushed the series was. Squeezing it into twelve episodes was not beneficial. They threw in some characters in briefly that felt out of place due to the series length. There are some weird conflicts thrown in at the end that could have been fleshed out in a 24 episode season.

If you are a yuri enthusiast, sure go for it and watch it. If you have issues viewing what I talked about in the first section, skip it.
