All I remember from the 2018 seasonal thread was that the consensus was that it was creepy incest garbage. I've not seen it myself.

it's a funny show with interesting characters, i can understand finding the step sister aspect mildly weird on a personal level but the inciting moment for yuzu falling in love with mei happens before she finds out who mei is so i've never felt like that angle exists to do more than add some extra drama early on and explain why they live together. the writing outside of that is melodramatic but not really in ways that are any worse than any other romantic drama unless you think a story about lesbians exploring sexuality in weird and messy ways is just unspeakably shameful to have in a story written by a woman

i don't even care if people personally just like other yuri anime more and aren't comfortable with the weirder and heavier moments in citrus, just the pariah status as exploitative trash or w/e it's gained is bizarre for something that ends one of its first arcs with an evil gyaru-hating grandpa getting rescued from nearly dying by a gyaru and saying "hm. i have had a change of heart. maybe gyaru are actually cool"

I know that enemies ramp up in skill/power sets when they are in a group but the third athlete that Kuroko and Kagami face off against in Kuroko's Basketball seems so overpowered that I can't imagine anyone being more skilled than him.

the step-sister thing in citrus is mildly weird but everything else that happens in citrus is exactly the same as any romance shoujo made in the past 30 years and people absolutely just purity test yuri and hold it to bizarrely heavy standards.

like people are talking up horimiya right now and near as i can tell that thing is 50%

my opinion of citrus is also boosted a bit by how of the four partial adaptations of yuri manga i've watched in the past few months, citrus is the only one that has something resembling a pace and covers a significant part of the growth in the core relationship (i liked the side characters in adashima but it sure made like a single inch of progress in adachi and shimamura actually hooking up, and the other anime was sasameki koto) and doesn't make half of its core focus the most boring possible part of the story (i did not like aoi hana)

the citrus anime isnt perfect but the anime staff sure seemed to actually care about it and understood their limitations

and in terms of the source material mei is a bit of a weak read but yuzu's got enough charisma for the both of them and mei gets a bit better as it goes on

I liked Citrus fine even if it's nowhere near my favorite cause it is a little too Shoujo Romance drama but it's plot is Yuri Marmalade Boy and if you like Marmalade Boy and it's set up but have problems with Citrus' than your issue isn't with the setup

Mei's boring IMO and that one character whose sole character trait is shipping Yuzu with Harumi is completely and straightforwardly correct

citrus definitely gets better as it leans into the side cast more, and + is pretty far into that

and mei gets better in + too which helps

It's fine but intensely melodramatic.

It's core problem is the absolute least interesting characters in the entire thing are the two leads.

I liked the song for the op though.

i mean mei isn't super interesting on her own but yuzu is genuinely one of the funnier and more active yuri anime leads. it's heavily bolstered by its side cast but it doesn't have a bad lead either

I can't say its poor reputation is completely undeserved - it has some rough stretches - but I would still very much recommend it, yeah. If you're on board with its particular brand of wildness, it's very charming and thematically rich. In fact I'd say it's my second favourite Gundam after Turn A.

I'd say 50% is a rather dramatic overstatement but the spirit of that post does eventually come up in the manga.

zz gundam's humor is just the kind of humor you see tomino do in stuff like xabungle and king gainer, it's honestly genuinely hilarious. the only weird parts about it are how jarring it is to have it come in after how zeta ends, especially with how uh, extreme the shift in yazan's role is. but i watched zeta years ago so i went into zz not really having any expectations for it specifically and i've enjoyed it a lot

i also just generally like the weirdly wacky and humorous tomino gundam stuff though personally. like my favorite tomino gundams are turn-a and greco, and while f91 isn't a great movie i really like the few insane out-of-nowhere character gags in it, and i was very into how loving off the wall crossbone gets
