Which yuri anime is better and why?
Which yuri anime is better and why?
If i'd had to choose between them, i'd say Bloom Into You, since i like the Opportunist Seme Touko and the Clueless Uke Yuu combination rather than the Serious Seme Mei and the Tsundere Yuzu combination, Bloom Into You displays a softer couple than Citrus, and that's what i prefer in my opinion.
I prefer Bloom Into You. The couple is just a lot cuter and I love Yuu and Touko's dynamic. I found the one sided nature of it to be really interesting and different. The side characters were also interesting and I'm glad that Saeki wasn't there solely to make things complicated for Yuu and Touko. She was actually an interesting character with proper motivations. I felt bad for her situation.
As for Citrus, I really don't like the pseudo-incest. Whenever the incestous aspect of their relationship was focused on, it just made me uncomfortable. I never ended up fully reading the manga due to the pseudo-incest pushing me away, as those themes got stronger further in. The side characters were also not as memorable as those in Bloom Into You. To me, Matsuri was some shameless twat who was only there to screw up and complicate Mei and Yuzu's relationship. She literally blackmails people.
@RachelleDraws I agree with you! Citrus is really just a fanservice yuri anime made for those into seme/uke dominance. Yuzu was too innocent for the world of Citrus. She deserved so much better than Mei. I really didn't like how she fell in love with Mei after she basically rape-kissed the poor girl and continued to sexually assault her. And I also agree about Matsuri. She had no proper motive or characteristic other than to be the bitchy antagonist towards Mei and Yuzu's relationship.
What do you think?
