| Even if there was no actual cliffhanger at the end, the fact that they said how their relationship as stepsisters was just the beginning and how they said that they dont know what the future might hold with school and family makes me so pumped up for season 2!!! |
 |
| Woooow, the dialogues between characters who met for like, maybe two hours in total? Dated for one? were really so deep. So impactful. Jokes aside the character relationships were a joke in this show. I mean they just kept presenting characters and pretending they could actually form meaningful bonds in five minutes. And honestly I was a bit pissed at everyone being like "Mei is so mature omg" when she basically always goes back to "ok but will this one next person need me" as soon as she even thinks about taking step one. It wasn't even hot because it felt ridiculous when they tried to deepen anything. I mean deepen what? There was nothing there! I watched all of the episodes because I was hoping it'd get better, and it didn't. Someday I might just try the manga instead. |
| There was an overload of contrivances and melodrama, but at least it had a pleasant ending. Episode: 5/5 Overall: 5/10 |
| Yuzu chasing Mei couldn't be more dramatic. I'm so glad it's finally over, really. I sincerely enjoyed reading the manga, yet the adaptation is so hollow and bland. Moreover, I still can't get over the ever changing animation: close-ups and important scenes were so beautifully drawn, whereas the rest was often disturbingly lousy, not to mention the apparent CGI appearing here and there. When it comes to characters, Harumin was the only sensible one. God bless. I naively hoped that this series could be something worth watching. In the end I have to rate it 6/10, even though I considered dropping it several times. |

| I will miss Harumin :( 6/10 to 7/10 just because of Harumin lol |

| Great finale, and I absolutely loved the moment at the shrine. Thoroughly enjoyed this, what is in my opinion, a pretty faithful adaptation. 16 chapters adapted, except for the final parts of chapter 16. Direction could've used some work at parts, but I'm not complaining. Art wasn't as breathtaking as Saburouta's art as well unfortunately, but it definitely wasn't bad either and it was decently animated. 10/10. |

| The second half of the Anime was really shit with all the forced drama. Worst moment definitly Mei's "relationship" with the white haired girl she knows for 2 days, nearly made me dump this shitfest on the last meters. |
| Meh. I would have liked this series much more if it was focused more on the incest taboo drama. But sadly, it was barely mentioned throughout this entire season. Instead, I just got a bunch of generic romance drama with predictable outcomes. Mei is such a flat and boring character. And best girl Harumin didn't get enough screentime. |
| Seems like they wrapped it up on the basis that there won't be a second season. So as it was the ending was fine There was a lot of melodrama throughout and a lot of going round in circles, but that's unfortunately a pretty realistic representation of how relationships are, people not really knowing or accepting what they want causes drama, trust issues cause drama, trying to put someone else first, or yourself first rather than thinking about things from mutual perspective causes drama, worrying about social perception and acceptance - more drama etc etc I know a few couples who've broken up and got back together several times, and it took me two years of going round in circles to properly split from my ex wife. It's not easy to know exactly what you want and how long that desire will last if/when you have it, or how you'll feel if you'll lose it, and people who've been let down and hurt in the past really don't want to let their guard down to risk being messed around and have it happen again. Overall I think it was frustrating and melodramatic enough to actually be quite accurate |
| That was probably the most pathetic, cliche and forced shoujo-ai anime I've seen lately. Most of the characters were annoying as hell. Glad it's finally over. Now back to playing heavenly Sono Hanabira series. 4/10 |
| great ending for a crappy series |
| Well... that was vapid. |
| Although the finale presented some excitable moments, it's still felt anti-climactic for the best part of the episode. Obviously, romance themed anime in general tread a very bumpy road, it's Yuri equivalent fared no better and largely remained with those cringy awkward scenes where you question the likelihood of it actually happening in reality. Not the greatest anime, and I'd be lying if I said there was no part of me here for the exaggerated Yuri tropes. However, I do see it slated for a second season. Recently there's been a movie release dates Love, Simon which explores homsexuality; I haven't watched it but what I've heard and from the clips I've seen is that of the closet mentality typical of people of that orientation and how to come to terms with it. This anime does not cover ihomosexuality from this perspective, which let me down; it's built a setting where towards those people around you it is a taboo,but when leaving that crowd it is a social norm i.e. the kisses that took place in public locations. Now, this isn't homophobia, but at this moment of time even though strides have been made in equality for different orientations it has not compleely integrated with society yet; which is a shame. Moving onto Japan, I've read up on Japan time and time again for various things (because of my interest in japan); historically, lords were allowed young boys (before maturity) as servants with which they could have intercourse with -however further research is pending, so don't take my word for it- what im getting at is this suggests sexual tolerance, but recent reports have suggested that there is a number of homosexuals in Japan who get into heterosexual relationships out of fear/humiliation/embarrassment. In any case, such symptoms are naturally more severe in younger individuals, particularly because of expectations from parents, guardians, elders etc. So yeah, whilst it may be a harmless anime, it had the potential of helping homosexuals adjust and empower them by going through the same circumstances -of which it failed to do. P.S. I should make this into a review. |

| The only good thing about this show is the fact that it ended this week. |
 |
| Wholesome Harumin best girl Matsuri second best girl for suggesting threesome nice finale, beginning with the bridge scene Show tried to move between titillation, realistic drama and soap opera drama and it ends up kinda meh LF2005 said: well, without does spice scenes I think I would had dropped it long ago, there where parts I found myself wishing it to slip in to hentai. Same here |
| Did they really just forget about what happened with Mei and sensei making out earlier in the story? I think they're testing the waters on this one. They really pushing on which grey lines that they can cross and get away with this anime. I think more studio are going to push it more if this become somewhat of a success. Lets be real now. Harumin is the best girl |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| I maintain my position that this Anime ran out of steam around 5/6 episodes in, was really enjoying it, but ended up downgrading from an solid 8 to a generous 7. Still, worth watching, god knows it has filled some time in the vacuum of space time that is waiting for Boku No Hero Acadamia season 3 to come out :p With the best of this Anime at the beginning and some at the end, perhaps Citrus would have been better as a film rather than a series :thinking: |
| I would just like to point out that everyone in the station was looking at them: A bit of a slow start for this episode, but it was sweet the rest of the way. Citrus: I wouldn't call it an optimal anime, but it had its fun moments. The art was great for the first episode, but the quality began to drop for the later episodes including the last episode. I really liked Yuzu a lot. Harumin was also great but didn't have as much screen time as others had hoped for. Momokino is probably the next best relevant character. Matsuri...well she had a change of heart, but she didn't really have enough time to flesh out as a character. Sara and Nina were eh. And Mei? Well she didn't really get much, but if a second season does happen, I think that's where she'll really shine. Not bad for a Shoujo Ai...but we're going to need something better. Final Verdict: Gay/10 |

| As a huge fan of the manga I can't give it anything less then a 9. It was a good adaptation (for what it covered) and it brought it to life well. I'm pretty content with how this ended too, but I can see how people could be disappointed. As an anime alone i can see the low ratings, but having read the manga really helps bring enjoyment up, and lets you see it as a nice treat, but not a independent piece of media. |
| As much as last week ticked me off, this week brought me back. I'd rather leave this show on good terms and *not* have a second season. I'm running out of tables to flip. :p |

| Gonna wait it out and hope it gets a second season. If not, I'll just read the manga I guess |
| Nice ending and probably my favorite arc of the show. Sara was a really lovely character who brought something good to the relationship between Yuzu and Mei, and Nina was nice too. Now about the series in general, I found it disappointingly entertaining. People hyped this series a lot and yes, I had a good time, and it definitely entertained me but I didn't like the drama. They went one step forward and then two steps back and so on in all the arcs going in circles. Yuzu was very likeable and Harumin, needed more Harumin. HARUMIN BEST GIRLl!!! |

|
| Overall, I liked it. It's a shame though that the anime adaption didn't get to the best parts and ended with one of the less memorable arcs. Here's hoping to a Season 2 so the other parts of the manga can be faithfully adapted. To be fair though, the anime adapted the manga very well and in that regard it was great. Very solid 7/10. |

Kittens-kun said: Basically me exact thoughts. 5/10Really mixed on this series, leaning more towards the bad side of the spectrum. I thought it had potential in the beginning, and I obviously liked the yuri scenes, but it's ultimately held back by the useless drama, and characters that just aren't capable of making up their god damn minds. Remove all the bs with Matsuri and the twins (still can't believe there were THREE meddling type characters back-to-back), have Mei and Yuzu actually talk sooner so we get rid of the indecisiveness, and the show would have been way better off. 5/10 |
| Damn... i've read the manga and watching this i didn't know it was this bad. Why whenever they want to do a more serious slice-of-life and romantic yuri they fail so hard? This was a painful to watch. =/ Always adding out of the blue new characters to keep up the stupid melodrama *sigh* Yuzu and Harumi was the only worth characters. The rest.... MEI: "Now i'll give what YOU want.." - for always supporting me, here, take my body, it's what you want, so I'll be paying off my debts from you- Basically it sounded like that. I love yuri, but I'm still not a fanboy... and this was... >< So unfair with Girl Friends. The best yuri manga I've ever read not getting an anime. 3-4/10 Mich666 said: That was probably the most pathetic, cliche and forced shoujo-ai anime I've seen lately.

| Animation, Script, Music - This is a good show. No doubt about that. Not sure why but I'm not satisfied with the whole thing. Final arc's kinda weak. I hope that there will be a continuation. |
  |
| Good series overall. It had its issues with some of the characters, inconsistent pace and tone. But I suppose the relationship ended up being handled quite well, and certain moments were engaging and enjoyable. I think a low 7/10 seems fair. I don't really want a season 2. It doesn't particularly need one because this open-canon ending worked quite well. If they went for a season 2 they'd probably just over-complicate things and fail to get new progression for the relationship. |
| Glad this one's over, the series starting out with some promise but I feel the characters became so under developed that I began to dislike them, specially Mei. Yuzu was a good character but the romance just seemed forced for the sake of the plot. Plus, none of the scenes in the intro happened which was a let down. |
 |
| I felt this series was just average. The characters just seems plain and dont stand out as much than what you would find in a typical slice of life or just making out friend kiss. |

| Well, I enjoyed it. It was overall a pretty faithful adaptation of the manga and the changes it did were good. Not a big fan of the art, though. And I hate to be that one person, but I thought many things felt sillier or more shallow on the anime...? I dunno. But still, good adaptation. Too bad it ended on the worst arc. But the anime handled it a bit better than the manga, I guess. 6/10 or 7/10. |
 |
| It was nice, way better than the manga readers keep complaining about these 2 arcs. 9/10, that male teacher was unnecessary and yuzu relapsing on why she loves mei was bad too. |
 |
| Who else really liked the two bridge scenes? Them being apart, dawn time  Them being together, night time  |
