i did started yagate kimi ni naru now

it's a pretty good show (minus the first episode which is damn awful) but it shouldn't be compared to citrus , both are good in their own right and both are different

and if anything, citrus is more realistic/representative of the current teenager mentality

I've finished citrus manga, and i'm waiting for the next chapter in Yagate, and by far Yagate Kimi ni Naru is way better story wise and in characters.


Bloom into You plot is better, but I enjoyed the more rounded and noisy yurism in Citrus, it is also relies more on visuals and get art, so IMO still delivers alot more yuri moments I like than Bloom into You that has much slower pace.

If you dont like how showy and visualized yuri is on Citrus I could see you liking something more "conservative" and controlled that still has alot deep to it, like Bloom.

IMO the art and cast on citrus are most to the kind of "vanilla" stuff I like would to see on citrus.

Citrus was... *sigh*

Yagate is not a masterpiece but is really a good anime and of course a better one.

I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

I gave a 3/10 to citrus and I'll probably give a 8,9 or 10/10 to Yagate kimi ni naru (I hope the ending will be ok, same for the manga).

Citrus was less mature or down to earth as far as the writing goes. They might have tried also to be a comedy but it didn't work at all with me. It really became a pain to watch and to finish.

Both yuri shows but the targeted audience isn't the same in my opinion.

Since I myself am not particularly into yuri, I would recommend Yagate kim ni naru to anyone who likes good romance in general and wants to try this genre.

The only point where you can compare these 2 are, there both yuri but Citrus had a bad story most Characters where shit or only "ok" and every girl in Citrus is a lesbian (just as note i have nohting against that but that a howl school is full of lesbians is pretty dumb).Yagate Kimi ni Naru on the other hand has actually some Male Charatcers,a good story and better Characters (not Amazing but better than Citrus).

The male characters I've seen so far here in Yagate are actually decent people... the man I saw in Citrus episode 1 is a creep.

yeah, plus maki is actually depicted as aro and helps & makes yuu understand she's more or less not aro (maybe demi-ro?) and the show makes a sensible portrayal of the lesbian adult couple as well & one of them helps saeki! so bloom into you all the way for me, as an actual aro lesbian!

Yagate Kimi ni Naru has good story ?! LOL what makes it good ?! Because it has serious relationship and less fanservices makes it better ?!

Citrus was more fun to watch. Has much better looking girls (with shorter skirts). Far better kiss and more perverted girls. The story is more fun to watch.

And that means that Citrus is better

Creep males > normal males

Decent people = boring to watch

Citrus felt like it should end much faster, but they kept introducing new characters as another c.ck block, and there was also problem with misunderstandings.

What i like in Yagate, is that there is no pointless drama, if character have problem, they talk it out almost immediately, without unnecessary padding.

Yagate Kimi wins by long shot, and i would also love if they made Girl Friend into anime as well, i loved Akko and Mariko story :)

Yagate has an actual plot, no forced drama, no incest bait, so is way better than Citrus

Look at both the ratings of their Manga and Anime adaption. Citrus has an NTR driven plot which is overused (around 4 times in the manga as i remember) while YagaKimi is pure gold and the creator really takes time and putting consideration in every scene they put in that's why people like me ( who is not even a shoujo ai fan) salutes it well

and what's the plot of yagate that citrus doesn't have?

this hate towards citrus is so baseless. I finished both animes now and i have to say that citrus as a stand alone is better due to yagate's last few episodes but until the very end i actually thought that i would like yagate more but it just didn't live up. Perhaps a season 2 would fix that

Citrus gets way too much undeserved hate. Both of the animes are great and both of the animes have roots in reality. People aren't as simple as 2d characters are because even for a full season of anime it's still less than 4 hours of " screen time" (for the whole story) while a single day in real life is 24 hours so it's natural that 2d characters won't have as much depth as real people and that's not even considering that people are different

citrus was good under its own circumstances and so is yagate

do want sequels of both

Citrus wasn't awful but it doesn't mean it's any better. Citrus was a straight up yuri with a lot of fanservice. Mainly revolved around rape and stockholm syndrome. Mei is always sexually abusing her stepsister which eventually turns into something terrible and totally unrealisitc, she begins to like it and fall for it! I couldn't stand it. Where in Bloom Into You, it was a proper Shoujo-ai where it focused more on romance and character development. Citrus wasn't romantic. So it's obvious Bloom Into You is the better lesbian anime.

Watching both, I see many errors in the many criticisms of what people say.
Citrus is an anime that was biased from the start, manga readers feared that the anime adaption would be terrible.
For people who havent watched one or both of the animes, I would like to add that please do not have these ideas of criticism when watching the animes AT ALL. Watch them open minded and whole heartedly. These criticisms will make them ruin your perspective and view as you watch them. Enjoy both completely, never compare.
I can bet that many people who put their opinions in this post have 1. Not even watched Citrus completely, or 2. Watched it, but with a very biased and closed mindset, which lead to people not letting themselves like it as much as they could have.
The Citrus anime adaption is a little different from the Manga, but in my opinion is a great anime nonetheless. Bloom is a great anime also.
What people say constantly is that Citrus is garbage and that it is made for pervs and has bad animation, background, plot etc. I personally think that is all biased and unreasonable.
It is true that Citrus and Bloom is comparing apples and oranges. They should be kept separate and loved in their own respected ways.
Here are some things that I read on this post that I would like to respond to.
1. The idea that Citrus is fan service or for pervs.
Not even close. It had more of a romantic impact than a lewd one. The heated scenes (There wasn't even a lot, don't believe the people exaggerating their hatred on the anime) were to make you THINK about morality and the characters thoughts and feelings, not made to have people get viewers and all that. It shows the forces and effects of love, and questions lust. It delves deep into questioning feelings and wondering about the truth.
2. The idea that Citrus' plot was trash, was too forced. and that the characters were useless or uninteresting.
Completely false, the plot was good. What kind of plot do you expect? something fantasy and out of this world? This is a shoujo-ai, many may share the same SETTING but in the end they are all very different. The side characters make the main characters and audience feel strong emotions. They all challenged the main characters feelings and thoughts, even the side characters were very dynamic in their feelings and attitude. I think that the whole anime has a theme of "change."
3, The idea that one anime is more realistic from the other.
Absolutely disappointing. Bloom was not realistic, and nor was Citrus. They both presented the approach of "at the right place at the right time," proof is shown in the very first episode of each anime. They are both very fantastical and came on very strong. To make it simpler, expect hand grabs and pulling characters close to their faces in both of the animes.

Bloom is a beautiful anime, absolutely wondrous, romantic, and unique. But Citrus was that also, in its own style.
The hate between both is uncanny and unreasonable. They both are so great. I only focused on Citrus here since of its overwhelming backlash which in turn makes it viewed with a bias when people complain about it to people who havent seen it.
Anime watchers these days think theyre all hardcore critics. Its been proven that biased views lead to biased results. As proved by the wine tasting experiment.

People forget that anime is about how it makes you think and how it makes you feel. Stop trying to compare animes. Theyre not meant to be compared and rated, theyre meant to be watched and invoke feelings.
I made this Animelist account just to save those people who will percieve both animes with a biased view. PLEASE DO NOT WATCHED THEM WITH THESE "CRITICS" IN MIND.

Why people are comparing yagate to that shit? It isn't obvius that yagate is better at anything objective? Animation, characters, ost, direction (extremely better),story...well If the people like fanservice only, for me its the only reason to choice citrus.

I think my own posts above yours can paint a pretty good picture of what Citrus does well compared to Bloom Into You.

I rly like Citrus ,why ?Bc i read the manga.Whene I first watch Citrus i thought the same ,that is to sexual and not a good wlw representation and i was creeped out by Mai’s “flirting methods” and I prefer Bloom into you .But i recently read the manga and it quite different ,Im not saying that Mai wasn’t harassing Yuzu in any way im just saying that it wasn’t as bad as the anime made it look like, as an example their first kiss wasn’t as force at the anime made it look like it was quite short actually and everything that happen in the manga after the thing that the anime shows is just so cute like when Yuzu is insecure about homophobia around her and scared to come out or the thing with the rings and in Citrus+ when Mai lost her ring(Citrus+ is what happen after the initial manga).And the thing that there are sisters is not bothering me bc they are sisters by marriage not biologically in anyway so it fine by me,Im not saying that bloom into you is bad because I quite enjoy it i just like Citrus better.I don’t quite understand why everybody say that bloom into you has a deeper meaning I just couldn’t find a deeper meaning that everybody is talking about but i like it tho .Im gonna read Bloom into you (manga ) to see if Im gonna have a different opinion after that tho.

Citrus and bloom into you are both good but bloom into you is better.

Bloom into you has more of a beautiful touch to it and a cute relationship while citrus is just about salvation of the relationship but citrus manga ending was good.

Bloom into you has great plot, Citrus has great “plot”. can’t compare them because they both take different approaches to the theme of “forbidden love”
