Glorious, isn't? It's the perfect, "grab a popcorn and watch the spectacle" type of thing, but what makes this redeeming is Yuzu's character is immensely likable, and you want to see she can get closer to Mei (despite everyone else grumblings that she should go to Harumin instead, but whatever).

The good news is at least half of the lines don't sound like they come from a generic yuri raep doujin. And the characters are thicker than cardboard. Which makes it strictly above average for yuri.

The bad news is the other half.

Ah, I'll keep dreaming.

Also Yosuga no Sora director yay.

I had to stop watching through the first half multiple times after the first ten seconds. Mei is such a shoujo manga protagonist... and yet, she was actually normal, and even cute this episode, whereas Yuzu was trying way too hard. Fortunately, the second half reminds you that, dumb and horny as she can be, the fake gyaru has a good heart at the end of the day, even for a potential rival (When she turned to look at Himeko after Mei shot her down, I thought she was going to mock her), which I certainly appreciate.

That last bit... this story doesn't let you rest, huh?

There are some relaxing/heartwarming moments, but drama always inevitably comes back in the end.

And yes, Yuzu is a really great girl. Unrelated, but I'm impressed the animators kept her various hairstyles. It makes her stand out compared to the rest of the cast.

Yuzu is surprisingly deep given the character and premise. Mei on the otherhand has as much personality as a dakimakura so far. Dunno if I call it drama, more like just feeling bad for Yuzu to have to deal with all the nonsense rather then feeling anything for Mei.

No you don't understand! If Harumin becomes a open love interest then she auto-loses due to the "2nd girl" effect. However! if she stays in the background then she still has a chance if the show decides to play the joker card and make it so Yuzu and Mei end up as sisters in the end instead of lovers. Then Harumin wins.

mei having trouble opening up isn't surprising at all. given her background and upbringing, i think she's written pretty well. Yuzu is Yuzu. not much more to say than that. gotta love her personality and way of dealing with things.

Matsuri is finally here! get ready for the darkness..

also, consent? in my citrus? pff.

Yuzu-cchi, go! And its called consent, girls, you might want to give it a shot

A damn good episode and my favorite so far, with just enough drama, Harumin being an awesome friend and lots of Yuzu actually helping and not letting herself get played by Mei (I really thought she was going to let it happen at the beginning ). Loved when she took over the broadcast, I didn't see it coming at all, and of course the bike ride was a total hero moment

...oh god, I've heard things about this girl, or rather, read one sentence once, and that bit at the end confirmed it. That sure was a short break

Yuzu proved how awesome she is once again. Her relationship with Mei is finally becoming consensual, about damn time. However, Matsuri is coming, and she's obviously bad news.

I told you. Every time it looks like things are settling down, shit happens. Didn't expect Matsuri to have such a high pitched voice, by the way.

wow, the dad is shitty. literally stopped by and left in one episode.

Props to Harumin for being a friend that Yuzu needs.

I had forgotten Matsuri was this young, I thought she was only a year younger than Yuzu. Yuzu is so pure compared to her.

I can't get used to Matsuri's voice, it sounds way too low for her design.

I found it odd at first but now I think it fits her.

Glad that shitty little arc is over. And Harumin once again is thee friend that Yuzu doesn't deserve.

Nice parting words from Matsuri. I wish she had apologized properly after all the shit she pulled but asking them to invite her over for a threesome was gold.

The worst is behind us now.

No more Matsuri... (´・ω・`)
I love that type of stuff, so it's a shame her story ends here, at least for the anime. (Yes, I know she appeared in the preview, but the story is clearly going to go on to the white-hair girls)

I only now realize that the OP has been improved here and there, such as the walking, still picture -> movement, expressions...

Yep, say what you will about the writing, but at least we got a real yuri anime for the first time in a while. Last one was... Sakura Kiss? Not sure.

Like I said in my previous post here, I wouldn't hold a candle to that.
Unfortunately, I'm not seeing this story getting any more adaptations.
