Passione did a pretty good job on Citrus honestly (save for a couple of scenes in the early episodes).
Tbh, Passione's adaptation of Citrus was pretty bad. Not even talking about the writing, just the visuals alone. The background designs were horrendous and characters and objects didn't even look like they belonged on there, just really bad compositing. Characters were off model quite often, too. It was good for laughs, but I wouldn't want YagaKimi to get the same production quality.
But since Wit studio has been polishing their romance chops this season with Magus' Bride and After the Rain, they might be a good option. Or KyoAni, as someone else mentionned here.
KyoAni's a safe bet and I really hope for them, but it's so unlikely that I wouldn't count on it happening too much. A seasoned and decent studio with a good director who can capture the visual storytelling in the manga would probably make for a decent adaptation. Wit & J.C.Staff are cool.
People keep gushing over having KyoAni as the studio they want to adapt their series. Thing is while they have good detailed artwork they also significantly rewrite source material for their adaptations plus have a strong aversion to showing kissing in their anime what is a big part of this series. Do people really want to see Yagate completely rewritten and all the kissing scenes eliminated in a anime adaption of the series?
I think J.C.Staff would be best as long as they give it their A game kind of like how they did on Flying Witch and Toradora. Maybe Bones who did akagami no shirayuki or possibly Wit from recent showings. I think thee was one other studio that might be good but the name escapes me.
Production I.G could be another one.
