This is my first Yuri anime. I am a straight female that enjoys all kinds of romance. I've watched countless of romance animes and bl, but I always found it hard to get into Yuri because most of them were weird, like incest, hentai, etc. My friend told me about this anime and I was so surpised on how good it turned out. I'm still only on episode 6, but I've already scored it 8/10. If anyone has any more suggestions for shows like this, I'd like to know.

Citrus. Absolutely gorgeous. More intense than this show, but slightly better in my opinion. They’re different kinds of shows, so it’s hard to compare them, but still.

this is arguably the best of the 4 true yuri adaptations.

as others have mentioned theres this, citrus, adashima, and netsuzou trap (these are the “true” adaptations as they are full length series, not movies/ovas/onas,etc.).

heres my personal opinions on them

you started at a good place, biy is in my opinion the best yuri adaptation. the endings kinda abrupt, but its really good. would suggest the manga as well

citrus is a litttleeee more extreme, theres some pseudo-incest. in my opinion its anime, so you should understand that you shouldnt do that in real life, and if you dont, you probably shouldnt be watching anime. if you dont want to watch it due to this, its fine, you do you. i actually love citrus, but the animes a slander to the manga. overuse of ok-ish cg, some of the questionable scenes are adapted to look even more questionable, in turn pushing even more people away, and the fact that this show adapts the worst volumes (theyre not bad, decent actually, but out of all of the volumes the worst). the anime adapted them badly. the first 4 volumes are actually decent, from then on it starts to lose its drama and becomes wholesome. id recommend the manga, probably not the anime (i read the manga after the anime due to me actually paying attention and seeing the underlying meanings and understanding that it is just anime).

adachi to shimamura to me is decent. the anime is a very calm slice of life kinda yuri. to be honest nothing really happens. character buildup is incredibly important for a good story, so they could have been going for a steins gate-esk approach here. buttttt i doubt its gonna get a second season so in reality its just a chill cute yuri in my opinion. due to this its also really slow. i have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the lns are better.

netsuzou trap. the abbreviation is literally ntr. no. just no. i will be the guy who says i think ntrs obviously bad, but interesting when done right/realistically (i loved kuzu no honkai). this show does not do that. they are 9 minute episodes with full ops and eds, so in reality, 5 minutes of content. SLIGHT SPOILERS. basically theres two couples. both girls do sexual stuff every episode basically. one of the guys knows and commits some domestic violence, other dudes a good guy and just suffers the whole time unknowingly. op songs good tho.

for non full adaptations i hear asagao to kase san (as everyone else mentioned) is good. id encourage you to look for manga/lns as theres obviously not a lot of yuri adaptations due to it being a niche genre.

it has sexual assault in it.

....strawberry panic is a full adaptation lol...

kinusaka said:


isnt strawberry panic more of a shoujo ai than a yuri?

momentie said:


How are we defining 'yuri' ? It centres on a central premise of two females in love, the plot revolves around mylitple other couples etc. Seems pretty Yuri. I'm no expert so my apologies if shoujo ai is exempt from being seen as Yuri?😶😶

kinusaka said:


yuri is technically a romance between two girls (as you stated) but is focused towards the sexual side of things. not necessarily sex, but sexual feelings and thoughts as well. yuris typically have a good amount of focus on these sexual and physical relationships as well as the romantic ones.

shoujos ais typically are more emotionally driven and more pure romance between the girls. this is more of a pure romance, where as yuri will typically delve into the sexual and physical things that are going on, shoujos ais specifically focus on the actual romance and not really that psychological/deeper side.

momentie said:


I see, seems a little redonedent to differentiate between those two seeing as it's already a sub-genre of romance (like having an isekai sub-sub-genre for fantasy[I.e.Smartphone] or video game fantasy[I.e.SAO]😅😅) but I guess that's hardly your fault.

I think for the purposes of the top comment, he probably just meant Yuri informally like I thougth of it, thought I could be wrong.

Sorry about the mis-undersatnding, didn't know it was so complex, I really should watch more Yuri to fill in my knowledge gap I guess😂😂👍👍.

kinusaka said:


youre probably right about what op meant lol. i like to think of yuri as the seinen while shoujo ais the shounen (except i like shoujo ai, and nearly hate shounen). also dont worry abt it. end of the day it doesnt matter that much lmao

I agree with you. Citrus was really brilliant, especially the ending had me on the edge of my seat. I don't know why it gets so much of unnecessary hate and absurd criticism, but for me it was a really delightful show. I would say Citrus is one of those anime, where how much you like the show may be directly proportional to how much of an attachment you've forged with the main girl by the end of the show. As for me I liked Yuzu Aihara a lot.
