I noticed that some people compare this show with Citrus, so I think that this is good moment to see which show is better and how much similar / different they really are  |
| I mean Citrus was shit, but still better cause of the thirst of girls. Oh right and there was no character like Seiji Maki, the "nice guy". |
 |
| Why is it being compared to Citrus? Wasn't Citrus pretty much only rape? I really hope this won't be like that. |
| Obviously 1 is for a good story and the other is for jerking off. |
| Looks nothing like Citrus to me bro. Citrus was trash though. Felt like it was too sexualized. It creeped me out (and I'm a girl who likes girls) It felt like it was using lesbianism as a fetish or some shit. And the plot was shit. Nothing happened. I don't like romance animes that focus on the romance. It should have another plot that is not just about romance. |
| How was Citrus trash? Sure, it (by far) wasn't the best anime, but it definitely wasn't "trash". All these people exaggerating ... Not everything is either Black or White! |

| Making this in the Yagate topic. I'm sure this won't be one sided or anything. Anyways, I said it in the first episode discussion but I preferred the more aggressive girl on girl relationships like Citrus and I like the leads of it far more. Yagate is good for those who it appeals to but its been pretty boring when it isn't focusing on the two girls' relationship, even if not doing the lewds. I think I would have enjoyed it more if they just cut out the entire student council stuff. I'm sure it's just building up character and story but that can't mean I can't find that aspect of the show boring. But as long as it's not doing the 'random new character trying to get in-between the relationship' cliche, I'll give it props for that, that is assuming it doesn't. |
| Yagakimi is focused a lot more on character exploration and has quite a well-written and grounded plotline. Citrus is a melodramatic Yuri soap opera, but that's kind of the point as it excels at being one. It's like comparing apples and oranges (heh), they're both fruits, but also incredibly different. The anime at this stage has just aired two episodes as well, so it will obviously be hard for people to see what it's able to offer. |
| Citrus approach regarding girls love was a different one, which had it good aspects too, but I still prefer Yagate Kimi ni Naru so far. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| kinda had a fast pace in this anime, citrus has better pace i would say |
| Citrus was way more fun to watch that this one This one makes you want to sleep when you watch it while citrus is opposite, more entertaining and fun UglyBarnacle said: Obviously 1 is for a good story and the other is for jerking off. I don't see any good story in Yagate Kimi ni Naru. What exactly good about it ?! |
| If you like just seeing two hot girls making out, and can ignore or don't care about all the bs melodrama in between, Citrus is better. If you're looking for an actual story with characters that don't make you want to blow your brains out, then Yagate is better. For me personally, I think Citrus is trash while Yagate is decent. |

It was enjoyable ride, until they introduce that annoying retard with pink hair  I would also add that Citrus have better ost, op / ed included |
| I love both. You can find more sexual tension scene in Citrus, and more protray of relationship between each character in Yagakimi, neither of them can replace each other. |
| I'm still not seeing how you'd get off to Citrus, let alone see it as fetishized. And I see MAL still has yet to grow out of using words like "melodrama" as a legit criticism. Anyway, I'm not too caught up on Yagate Kimi ni Naru, although they don't seem to be all that similar outside of being yuri. |
Yangbojian said: Citrus has way too much forced, cliche and cheap melodrama that completely ruins any chance of meaningful interactions. YagaKimi has genuine character drama that evolves naturally out of the personalities and is infinitely more emotionally mature and intelligent. You can find more smut scene in Citrus, and a realistic protrayal of relationship between each character in Yagakimi, you honestly can't compare them to eachother.I love both. You can find more sexual tension scene in Citrus, and more protray of relationship between each character in Yagakimi, neither of them can replace each other. |

| Yagate by a mile, Citrus felt more like a guilty pleasure, but so far Yagate seems like a legit good show and romance. |

| Citrus was horrendous. And not just because of the sexual aspects either. Yuzu and her friend were literally the only compelling and dynamic characters in that series with any redeemability. |

It can be handled well and badly just like everything else in a show. Because it holds about as much weight as "this is episodic." Wasshio said: Citrus has no actual progress or near to nothing because of the characters getting in the middle of the progression Good post overall, but you're wrong here. The main leads do change in ways that can be directly observed, leading to those various road bumps. It's also worth mentioning that Mei doesn't actually develop romantic feelings for Yuzu until episode 7. |
| Citrus is getting destroyed lmao Citrus is the show you watch because you know it's thrashy, but Yagate is for dem feelz. Depends on what you prefer |
  Don't worry about being lame now, you were always lame anyway!  |

It's also worth mentioning that Mei doesn't actually develop romantic feelings for Yuzu until episode 7. You have a decent point there. I guess the main dealio with Citrus is that these types of changes get blocked tho because of the other characters getting involved and just ruining the sense of change. Which can kinda affect the development or said change. But I do understand ya on that front. I'm...not really seeing where you're coming from there. The side characters have no adverse effects on the leads' development. If anything, they enhance it. Himeko and Matsuri played essential roles in the plots of their respective arcs, which governed the development of Yuzu and Mei. The Tachibana sisters were arguably the most unnecessary addition to the cast, but their absence wouldn't have made the primary conflict go any smoother. Mei was bitter towards Yuzu for rejecting her that night; the sisters had no part in that. Again, the sisters are a problem with the writing only because they were unnecessary, not because they "blocked" any of the leads' development. Unless of course, you're talking about the characters being a distraction to the viewer, thus taking the focus away and making the payoff less satisfying. In the case of the Tachibana sisters I can sgree with you, though not at all with Himeko and Matsuri. |
| Oh man I understand that adaptation of Citrus sucked, but this force is already beginning to bother. Yagate Kimi ni Naru is a pretty good title so you don’t have to constantly compare it with Citrus to prove its advantages. |

| Citrus is extremely overrated (manga) and that's coming from someone who have finished the manga, I kinda like the anime tho, anyway Citrus was my kind of yuri but the author fucked it up not even passed half way the series Yagate I haven't read the manga, couldn't get passed chapter 2 coz it's boring but it's really interesting so far in the anime, might continue reading the manga after the anime end Voted for Yagate, bcoz it has romantic build up, the romance ain't shallow, no autistic love interest, not episodic, no rinse and repeat shallow drama, not a tease galore. Basically, it has everything that Citrus doesn't have and doesn't have what Citrus shouldn't have |
| So I'm 9 chapters into Yagete Kimi ni Naru, and it's good. But so far I'm not seeing what makes this much better than Citrus, let alone comparable. It's got mildly interesting characters and interactions undermined by tedious talk of the council business and whatnot. It's progression is rather standard and linear with not much drama or dynamics to spice things up. As far as I'm concerned it's no more focused on character exploration than Citrus was; it just so happens that neither of these characters were in a strict and oppressive upbringing that made Mei the way she was in Citrus. But of course, I'm probably just not at the point where YagaKimi's quality really shines. If I'm basing my stance on this too prematurely, please let me know. |

You are literally one chapter too early for drama. So I've noticed. Things sure got interesting there. As it turns out, Citrus and YagaKimi really are very similar in plenty of ways. We have a student council president who overexerts herself, is pressured by her peers, and is determined to fill the role of someone absent. There also the friend who is very close to her (Sayaka from YagaKimi; Himeko from Citrus) who understands her better than the MC does. There's plenty of parallels here in terms of setting. The main appraisal I'll give YagaKimi is that it doesn't play with fire too much, whereas Citrus tends to entangle itself in certain plot points like Mei's grandfather and the Tachibana sisters which makes for some contrived directions. Citrus is also more melodramatic (which people vapidly cite as a criticism by itself) while YagaKimi decides to keep things down to Earth. Aside from that however, I don't find the execution in YagaKimi to be that much better, if at all. I find myself less connected with Yuu than I am with Yuzu, who has far more personality, often acting reckless yet possessing a sharp mind when feeling the need to. As for Touko I can only hope her character and background get explored to the extent of Mei's, whose actions and mental processes can be observed and elaborated like the enigma she is. Sure, I get that the relationship in YagaKimi is more conventional and healthy, but that doesn't necessarily make for a better story. P.S., obligatory reminder to people here that sexual assault is not romanticized or applauded in Citrus. Depiction is not endorsement. |
| 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. |

| Alright so...the plot of Citrus was its weakest aspect for the fact that it relied on contrivances too much, and suffered all the more with its breakneck pacing. YagaKimi thus far has the opposite problem; its plot is safe, but incredibly barebones. It seems to want to act like a character study of sorts when these characters have barely any involvement with the plot to flesh out their traits. These are interesting characters that just don't have enough depth to keep my interest the way Citrus or Octave did, or even Aoi Hana. The way I see it, while Citrus is very rough around the edges, flawed in many ways, I still feel like it accomplishes more with its characters than YagaKimi. YagaKimi thus far feels like a very milquetoast kind of story, despite having better pacing. It's perfectly competent, but nothing exceptional. Touko is perhaps the most interesting character on offer, so I wish for her to get more focus rather than sidelining her in favor other, far less interesting characters whose conflicts get uplifted in few pages time. That would be ideal, just as long as interactions with her don't just consist of "you called me by my first name" and whatnot. |

P.S., obligatory reminder to people here that sexual assault is not romanticized or applauded in Citrus. Depiction is not endorsement. Let me start off by saying I'm not exactly a big fan of melodrama in general, so I will be somewhat biased in my take. I feel like Yagakimi could easily be boiled down to just another conventional yuri story, and to be honest, it probably is. With that said, I'm a big fan of it character execution-wise. For me, the emotional disconnection from these characters feel natural, since neither of the main characters really is a "complete" package of a character. The lack of a distinct personality makes me perceive them more as a human being, as I am almost never able to describe anyone I know in less than a paragraph, their outward-personality and reactions change drastically in different situations. The two leads are as confused and clueless about themselves as we are, and the main plot revolves around the characters' explorations with themselves and their partner, which is probably why it feels like a character study. Despite being in a relationship whose odds of existing in real life is extremely low, the characters still somehow feel genuine and realistic, and that gets me a lot more invested in the characters themselves. Citrus has great characters with strong personalities, but I feel like the main problem comes with the plot. Repetitive and awkwardly-inserted conflicts often leave the characters feeling a bit repetitive, too, as a result. Like, I know this is how they react to situations, but I did not need to see this five times in a row. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I do think the main flaw of Citrus' characters come from the flaws of the plot itself. |
| both at various times made me think "Why am I watching this?" so idk fam. both? neither? why am i watching animay lasbeins? |

I don't like romance animes that focus on the romance. It should have another plot that is not just about romance. And Citrus was a manga made by a woman for a magazine like Comic Yuri Hime which is also focused on woman and have the majority of it's public like 70% made by women. It's not because it has sexual scenes that it's focused on woman. The majority of Citrus public in Japan was made by girls and women, not by guys. |
| idk why people are comparing just because both are yuri. that said, Bloom Into You doesnt have the MC saying her love interest's name every 3 seconds...so Bloom wins |
| I don't dislike Citrus, but it can't even begin to compare to Bloom Into You. |
| [/quote] citrus was far more frustrating imo, yagate kimi ni naru is somewhat more laid back and less sexual than citrus. As they say everybody likes something else.[/quote] I think the drama made it more exciting to watch and (SPOILER) ...there still is a happy ending. So it's not like you're watching a tragedy (e.g. White Album 2, School Days etc.) That happy ending (the manga ending is even better, highly recommend you read that if you like yuri-romance manga (start with ~chapter 15 to skip the scenes that were in the anime already)) is the reason why I think it's not frustrating to watch. But ultimately, I certainly agree with "As they say everybody likes something else." If you like Yagate Kimi nu Naru (which I think is, so far, way too eventless) then that's totally fine. |

| Easy vote for Yagate Kimi ni Naru Dropped Citrus on episode 1, just can't stand it. Yagate has been entertaining from the start up to the latest episode. |
Kawaritai said: Why is it being compared to Citrus? Wasn't Citrus pretty much only rape? I really hope this won't be like that. lol what rape was there in citrus? people's complaints about citrus are a fucking joke, at least say something reasonable even if it's negative but don't make some ludicrous claims that are completely untrue and are baseless as fuck i haven't started this anime yet but i will when it's about to end and i hope it's anything LIKE citrus but considering this anime seems to have the favor of the masses the chances are that it'll be absolute garbage cause so far gintama and one piece are the only favorite by masses animes that aren't horrible, pretty much everything else is flawed and bad in so many ways from all the popular animes just look at the bunny senpai anime that;s airing right now - complete garbage yet it's the second coming of jesus in anime |
lots of music -  |
