I still don’t really understand why I enjoyed this as much as I did.
Citrus was my first Yuri. Not only that, but it was also my first exposure to Ecchi anime. It’s revolutionary in a way. This was literally my intro to Yuri. Now, yuri is a cornerstone of my life. I really didn’t care much about two girls mingling with each other until I saw this. In a way. It opened my eyes to a whole new world. And I’m in love with this new landscape.
Citrus was also the third anime I ever watched. Right after AOT of course. Even though the show has its.. sexually active scenes and hot lesbian mingling. I didn’t really drool much at it. Yeah, at first, when I was watching the first couple of ep’s I did droop for them. But little by little. I grew an attachment to the two protagonists. Honestly, I rooted for their ship to sail in calm waters.
It may have been my lack of exposure to the medium that made me think so highly of the anime. I’m human as well you know, I’ve got my biases. Even then, I loved the show unconditionally. From its eerie rape like scene to that WTF parasite character. It all just fit into place within my mind.
Found it through a kissing clip compilation on the hub back in 2020-08-21. Don’t think posting that link here is appropriate so just go with your imagination.
