| Okay, I lovelovelove the Citrus manga. The manga, while starting rocky, turned into something incredibly beautiful. BTW, This aired on my 17th birthday! It was meant to be! I've been following this manga since I picked up the first volume at my local bookstore. I see the potential for the Citrus anime to do that, too. However, the whole butt-groping part was drawn out way too long for my taste. The OST so far is incredible. nano.RIPE does an amazing opening theme as always, and I don't know about you, but I'm such a sucker for symphonic and orchestral OSTs. The animation could be better for the characters themselves, but the art in the background is stunning. Not to mention that Tsuda Minami, who voiced my first "waifu" (Funami Yui, in my pfp and always has been) back in the days when I was in middle school, is voicing Mei and doing an incredible job. Taketatsu Ayana is also doing a great job as Yuzu. Harumin is great, haven't heard much of Himeko but because it's Shikaco voicing her (voice of Hanayo from LoveLive!, my greatest weakness) I'm looking forward to it! I really can't wait to see what comes out of this show. Hoping it isn't as mediocre as this episode. Then again, it followed the manga almost exactly, so if all goes as planned, we'll have a great show in our midst. |
| lovelive is relevant and the rest is garbage it's joke |
| Wait, I wasn't prepared at all ;_; what the hell happened |
 |
| This looks pretty interesting, and surprisingly adorable. I think I will enjoy this. |
 |
| I must say this adaptation surprised me in some ways, while disappointed me in others. First off, the color scheme is lacking. Not only in vibrance, but in appropriate contrast and direction to achieve a particular tone or presentation. It's especially a detriment to the kissing scene with the teacher. Seriously, look at how pale those mother fuckers are. What's worse is that you'd think given how private that affair is, they wouldn't do that in such a brightly lit area. I really have to wonder if any thought whatsoever was put into this department, because the way the colors are used is quite boring and fails to surprise. On the flipside, the character designs are very true to the manga, which is obviously a very good thing. In a way, it compensates for this studio's shortcomings with animation quality. Although the eyes at times could have used darker colors. On another note, the quality of directing itself isn't bad. But it really blows some scenes to high heaven. An example being when Mei kisses Yuzu at the end. That in itself is already a surprising moment, so if they did away with much of the hamfisted bullshit such as the zoom-out, it would have sold the scene better without the need to rub it in our faces. The comedic moments are very well done for the most part. They're well-animated and are sold very effectively. The transitions and everything are quite good. I'm genuinely impressed by the soundtrack. Not only is it good, it's also well implemented. So those are my impressions as of now. Let's hope this continues to impress along the way. |

| 1 episode in and i already hate it with a burning passion |
| I love it. I love Mei grabbing Yuzu's ass early in the episode. I love the drama with Mei kissing Amamiya-sensei in the middle of the episode. I love Mei aggressively kissing Yuzu at the end of the episode. I preemptively gave this a 10 when it started airing without watching episode 1 until today. On principle I'm never lowering it because suck it, haters. |
 |
| Makeup and fashion are a gyaru girl's life. I met a group of gyarus who said they rather die than walk out of the house without makeup on. Poor Yuzu can't do no on fleek makeup looks with her lil sis forcing her to take it off. DAT ASS! DAT ASS GRAB! I hated the kiss between the sensei and Mei. It looked like he was forcing hinself on her. I think that's why she forced herself on Yuzu to make her feel the pain and embarrassment she felt. Why so many yaoi and yuri so rapey? |
| 臭い- |
| "That's what kisses are like" No, kisses aren't an attempt of assassination lol That girl almost passed out for being suffocated lol |
 |
I have only one thing to say about this. Not a very great first episode. Let's see how it goes in the next one. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| As I'm not bothered by all the sexual assault here. I'll say it's not terrible or as bad as I thought. Those CGI crowd shots made me cringe hard. At least the art style is nicely adapted but it's a weak introduction. |
 |
| These dumb bitches make all-girls schools no fun. When that one girl said "Your hair color is in violation of our school dress code" I screeched "WHAT?" out. They expect her to dye her fucking hair some bland, dark color to fit into this trash heap? Why would you marry a guy who's immediately heading to the other end of the world, and leaves you with his bitchy teenage daughter? And we end our first episode with stepsister-on-stepsister sexual assault. This is my type of teen drama. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Oh damn, that kiss was so intense... |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| Mamma Mia! Talk about escalation! What to even say...I mean, I do like how awkward & spunky Yuzu is. She certainly knows how to stand out. |
 |
| This was something new for me ;d but I think I will see how this goes. The animation was good and this studio art is better suited for this kind of shows and not highschool DxD ;/ I like the OP also. This Mei is kinda crazy |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
Vi- said: "That's what kisses are like" No, kisses aren't an attempt of assassination lol That girl almost passed out for being suffocated lol reminds me of strawberrypanic, main girl getting sexually assulted first day by second main girl 😂😂😂 this started with a bang 😂 her body search in the beginning i was like wtf she really is doingbit on purpose 😁 |

| It was good until the butt groping started 7 minutes in. 1/5 |

| good start for the GL anime!!! |
 |
| kay this is too creepy for me... forced kissing on the ground and it sounded like restraint... really disturbing. i also hate this shit in BL so :/// |
| That is the most extra way to basically pick pocket someone’s phone; hot dam I’m hard I can already see through all the layers that we have yet another dose of trash on our hands. Is this going to delve in deeper into the mature themes of sexual assault and in so doing have something just shy of a work or art on our hands? Or is it just gratuitous female on female French kiss action... cause either way sounds fire to me. But is the hot sexy action enough to carry it through if it is the trash that I fear it to be... |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| That kiss was really creepy. Dropped 3/10 |
| Good anime hmm yes. Seriously tho I am liking this so far. Mei low-key feels like this kiss freak so I really want to see how she develops. |
| I pretty much knew what was coming, but this was even worse than I expected. I mean, my biggest problem was that kiss scene between Amamiya and Mei. Also, I don't really like Yuzu's character. Oh well. Let's see what's next. Hopefully the next episode will be better. |

| Holy shit Yuzu is absolutely adorable. |
| well this is just ridiculous. yuzu is cool but mie isn't |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Great intro to the series. I'm pretty excited for what is going to happen between these two stepsisters now that they are living together. |
| Oh... already with the MC getting gro-I mean, "frisked". And already, they're steppies... yikes. Nipple-hair principal is certainly a character that exists... oh boy, why did I start watching this again? At least I'm not super-repulsed like I was with Ojou to Banken-kun, because that one rea- Oh... the end of the episode... no... that's not okay. Fuckin'... no... there's nothing romantic about that. That's straight-up assault. This might be GL, but this ain't love. |
