Both take place at strict girls only schools. The main characters in both shows fall for a girl who are emotionally unavailable due to their past. The MCs are similar but Yuzu in Citrus is a lot more outspoken and assertive. Their love interests both have a facade towards people. Both shows have layered and well-balanced characters (Citrus a bit more so). They deal with problematic relationship dynamics in a good way. They both turn out really heartwarming and enlightening as we get further into the series. If you like one of these two - definitely give the other one a shot!
If you liked Citrus, but maybe need a bit more of a slow build and deeper characterization, look to Strawberry Panic. The beautiful Etoile in this anime is beyond words, with a tear-jerking backstory, we learn there is a lot more to Shizuma than meets the eye. A bit like Mei in Citrus.
Strawberry Panic is, like Citrus, based in an all-girls school, with a new transfer student, Nagisa, looking to make friends in the most wholesome way. Amongst finding new friends, Nagisa meets Shizuma, and the question of will they, won't they, begins from the very first episode. Not only does this anime feature

If you love Yuri anime like Citrus I recommend Strawberry Panic. The released date was April 3, 2006, the anime is about a group of teenage girls attending three affiliated all-girl schools on Astraea Hill. A common theme throughout the stories is the intimate lesbian relationships between the characters.
The story is about a young girl named Nagisa Aoi entering her fourth year at St. Miator after being transferred from another school. On first entering the campus grounds, she is overcome with joy by the overall appearance of the surrounding area, but her joy is soon turned to sorrow as she accidentally stumbles down a hill,

Both shows are yuri/shoujo ai set at strict all girls schools. They're both full of drama and are pretty depressing at times. They feature the protaginists Nagisa and Yuzu trying to get with thier love intrests Shizuma and Mei. There are a lot of roadblocks as well as other people who have feelings for the main pairs, such as Tamao and Chiyo in Strawberry Panic and Matsuri and Momokino in Citrus.
First is the obvious, they're both lesbian anime. Then there's the fact that these relationships aren't exactly the healthiest (In the citrus manga it's alright, but the anime is fuxked). There's also the casual use of sexual abuse with seemingly no consequences (unless it's useful for the plot) which made me very uncomfortable.
Finally what you should really take into account is that they're both fairly dark and VERY melodramatic yuri anime which I know some people will enjoy and others won't. nonetheless they are similar for way more reasons than just being gay.
