Citrus - Named as such because every episode is like trying to eat a grapefruit with a spoon and some juice squirts out and lands directly on your eyeball, only the juice is rapey yuri, but sometimes you just have an urge to eat grapefruit, you know?

(Actually yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. Wikipedia says "The yuzu's flavour is tart, closely resembling that of the grapefruit, with overtones of mandarin orange.")

It's a good mix of cute and drama.

I think it's more that it's boring, rather than that it's stupid. The first episode was okay, buoyed more by a lack of especially egregious moments more than anything but the second episode didn't do anything for me so I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna bother with a third. I do like the bit of world building it did, showing how the fashion industry had changed thanks to technology and so on and I like that it wasn't afraid to have an episode with no conflict (but I might be thinking it's more of an action show than it intends) but the main character was a wet noodle the whole episode and there wasn't anything interesting enough to keep me watching.

having pretty androids naturally cause flash mobs by walking down the street due to peculiar psychology is okay. having everyone (except the wiener mc) see androids as utterly mundane appliances is also okay. having both in one show is not okay! the setting is a mess.

Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san - This show is evil, pure unadulterated evil. I am so triggered by Nishikata's plight in the face of such overwhelming advanced teasing, I can't help but root for the poor kid.

I am kind of sucker for just how adorable this story can get.

Marchen Madchen is essentially a yuri version of one of those trashy magic school harem fanservice shows from a decade ago that were created to cash in on Zero no Tsukaima's popularity. Back right before everything switched away from 4:3 aspect ratio and when Rie Kugimiya was everywhere.

I'm not sure how you pulled that from my post, but okay. I was mostly just saying the main character was boring, not that his views on androids had anything to do with why he was boring.

Pairing down my list for this season to just Pop Team Epic, Citrus probably Darling in the FranXX, might pick up Laidback Camp and Mitsuboshi Colors tho. Weirdly A Place Further Than The Universe sounds too lowkey highkey for me if that makes sens
universe is kiiinda lokwey imo? It's mostly characters being weird teenagers at each other punctuated by bursts of comedy. Like, there's a big jokey scene of the girls freaking out at Yuzuki's mom followed by them having a lowkey conversation with Yuzuki about how they're all kind of weirdos, and then that's followed by Shirase just talking with Miyake about self-loathing, and then that's followed by scene of them freaking out about penguins. It strikes a good tonal balance imo.

i believe it's very good, but someone said that it does have sincere emotional moments and I am too wiped out 24/7 rn to process that, I just want the girls to have a fun and safe trip. I'll probably get it to before the year is up tho

I always saw people panning citrus for being melodromatic what the heck.

Unironically they should adapt Maya's Funeral Procession in the year 2018 but change the ending.

The first part of the sci-fi Godzilla anime is out on Netflix. Unfortunately the CGI and non-Godzilla monsters are pretty ugly. The only redeeming part is when the real Godzilla shows up at the very end.

An interesting concept this time around but c'mon Toho let's snap it up a little bit.

citrus is melodramatic, it's just the drama comes from people acting like jerks until they stop acting like jerks
