Imouto sae Ireba Ii.

I wrote this review with the intent of reminding myself when I look back on this anime a few years from now. -SPOILERS ALERT- This anime has a lot of themes mixed in. I was sceptical of this anime from the first five minutes, but I'm glad that I gave this anime more time to unfold. The wait was well worth it, and it was something I can be proud to say I watched with glee. Story: 7/10 Concept is simple. A group of friends centering around the protagonist get together often and share moments of their everyday lives. In this case, the majority are in the publishing industry, and so we get a semi-deep exploration and explanation as to how their everyday schedules are like, and the troubles involved. More will be elaborated individually in the characters, as that is the main focus of this type of anime, where emphasis is placed more on the characters themselves, and the plot takes a background role. One thing I want to say is that this is not just a rom-com with randomness. I find the story to be well paced in terms of it being a 'slice-of-life', in the sense that this is not an anime where you will feel the urge to jump to the next episode (like shoujo animes, where cliffhangers are presented). There is an air of 'my pace' throughout every episode, where the characters aren't in life threatening situations, but more just struggling to live and cope with situations that nearly every adult will face. I find that fact itself calming for it fits the overall composition of the anime, where the characters themselves do not show their inner conflicts openly at first glance, but the cracks can be seen in time (much like most of society). Another interesting note is that they commonly get together and play board games. You learn a lot of fun things well visually illustrated. It's a nice side-dish to the struggles along the anime. Characters: 8/10 It was refreshing to note that every one of the characters has almost something that is relatable to the viewer watching it. As such, the audience is able to sympathize, or perhaps even empathise with the character when moments arise. Part of making a memorable animation i would imagine is linking the characters or situations to an emotional attachment the viewer has. Many animes have done that better, but nevertheless, this anime also does it quite well. If you intend to continue reading past this, be warned for semi heavy spoilers. "What you want, someone else always has. And usually, it means nothing to the person who actually has it". For a conversational based anime to work, I usually find the the following elements recurrent: The idea-presenter/money sponsor, the silly billy /teaser, the straight man, the innocent one, the one who goes along with anything. This is all apparent, yet tastefully done. The main protagonist is a siscon, and my words do understatement to his devotion. As a light novelist, his works, lifestyle, fantasies, all revolve around that fact. His personality can be at first impressions be a typical cranky adult, but as the story unfolds, it is revealed why his circumstances are as they are, and how the group got together around him. Lazy, delirious, kind, yet sometimes sarcastic, some can label his type as the classic comfortable friend you can cut loose with. His best friend is the total opposite. Organized, neat to a fault, and well composed at all times, their common lines of work allow them to banter with a level of genuineness one can only experience after years of friendship. However, despite his systamatic approach of viewing his job, lifestyle and mindset giving him a higher edge that most in his line of profession, he isn't happy. They are of a stark contrast to the protagonist, and it is this polarity that attracts him, in search of his own'uniqueness'. The college girl is a typical early student who doesn't know where her future might lead, what her interests are, and what she should be looking towards. She desires to 'grow up', hoping that with age, comes wisdom and maturity in her sense of direction. She is drawn to the protagonist because of his clarity in what he wants. Innocent, scared of the possibilities, she hopes that sticking close to him will shed light upon where she should put her efforts in. Along with time, familiarity leads to deeper feelings. The step-brother is the perfect sibling we all know. Adept at cooking, cleaning, patient enough to wait upon your needs at any moment, and cares for the family, whilst still having enough time to visit the protagonist nearly everyday to cook his meals, and attend school ontop. Seemingly contented just to spend time with the protagonist, he desires more, but as we all know in sibling / old friends scenarios, his inability to reveal his feelings out of concern for the other party limits his choices. The last (main) character is the genius upcoming novelist. Bullied and harassed to the point of quitting school, she is saved by the protagonist's words in his light novels, one day while reading inside her room. Out of sheer passion, she starts writing her own novels, meeting him along the way. Convinced that his words were the saving grace of her life, she devotes her entire feelings to him wholeheartedly. Any deeper explanation would ruin the point of watching the anime itself imo. I would say that this anime is rather.. cruel. Each of the characters each has unexpressed opinions or desires, but are unable to reveal them. It is this sense of harbouring that makes the characters memorable. Music: 8/10 The OP/ED were both soothing. Choucho always delivers. Background music for situations were fitting, but not memorable. I wouldn't say generic either. The point is, there won't be a time you think : "why is this music here". I find the songs presented at key moments very well placed. Occasional shivers. Art: 9/10 Cute and fuzzy. Not totoro fuzzy, but along the lines of oreimo, where it is easy on the eyes, and not excessively moe to the point of umaru/hinako note at times. Enjoyment: 8/10 The humour feels forced at times, but thankfully it isn't often enough for it to be a concern. The ratio of good moments far outweigh the cons. Partial nudity is a correct way to put it. You will see shapes and outlines, but not clear views. If you ever feel like you are being swept away by the tide of the world, just sit back and enjoy this anime. Give it some time to unveil.

At first this anime appeared as a story about a incest loving brother, but it turned to be better than that because it turned a whole 180, and became a story about a authors amitions to adopt his work into a manga and a anime. The characters had so much life put into them and it almost made them feel real in some parts. What else I could say more the sound design was amazing especially the ending song for the anime. I hate people who just over analyze this anime as being seen as a incest crazed main character, but I can’t rag on this anime at all So overall I’ll give it a 9.5, even though you’ll see a 10 as the overall.

I don't come across story like this, It's premise is not to complex, it's about a 20 year old college dropout Light novel author Itsuki and his group of friends friends, hanging out and growing as characters, nothing mind blowing but Its in the execution of these ideas where the story truly shines. I didn't find myself attracted any one character but rather awed in admiration of their relationships as the show slowly unravels it. I have decided to read the Light novel to know the full story but as for just the anime it's probably not getting a S2, so where the anime ends lot of plot points are not addressed but it still gives a satisfying conclusion to the relationships of the characters. Not a master piece but still a show which I thing changed me for better ;) overall 8/10 very good

Oh boy an anime about a guy who has a little sister fetish. Oh god what do I say. It was actually pretty good. The characters were interesting the story was fun the humor was really funny. Also the main heroine's dub voice actress was Rias So I may be a little biased. It follows a group of drop out college kids who are LN writers. As you can guess the MC writes stories where the heroine is the little sister. Funny enough his love interest isn’t a little sister so I am ok with it (its not like that one anime where the siblings end up together the one where they both have grey hair. Yaa I know we know which one I am talking about). Its really sad that this anime never got a second season they were really hyping up the end of the first season like there was going to be a second. The mc just got news that his LN turned manga is turning into an anime. So big stuff is happening. But averall a good time 8/10

First season came out in 2017 and the second season has unfortunately been canceled for a while. You'll have to read the light novels (or manga, if they exist, I don't know). 'A Sister's All You Need' starts out as a full blown ecchi siscon anime and about halfway through turns into a board game advertisement show with slice of life elements and occasional ecchi moments, which vary from light perverse humor to a full on yuri groping session. Despite what the title promises, there is no little sister, only a protagonist who is obsessed with his ideal fantasies of them. Hashima Itsuki is a young 20-something year old established light novel writer working on his career from his one room apartment. He is friends with a couple of other authors whom he hangs out with, along with a friend from high school and his step brother who visits frequently and helps cook and clean. Itsuki is an unapologetic siscon who obsesses over the concept of the perfect little sister and tries to implement it into his writing. Meanwhile people of the fairer sex have their eye on him. There are references to other sister related entertainment such as Oreimo and Eromanga Sensei, though this title is written by a different author. The progression of the story is odd. It starts out hard with a very spicy opening scene of a naked little sister straddling her brother, which of course turns out to be an imagining of a story Itsuki has written, and then turns into a slice of life show about Itsuki and his friends and how they experience starting from light novel authors and moving up on to manga and anime based on their novels. This part of the show is actually pretty interesting, even if it's mostly skin deep and glosses over almost all the detail. There's a half-way harem theme going on but the show never really goes anywhere with it, as this season is largely a setup for another. Curiously the show turns into a board game advertisement across multiple episodes and I have to wonder if this was a requirement for the anime to be made. By the last episode this content has definitely overstayed its welcome, but all the games are interesting and related to the anime, in the form of story telling and being in the industry. The main cast is interesting, you have the head-over-heels girl Nayuta who is overtly in love with Itsuki, who keeps trying despite his initial rejection, who also happens to be a top selling author. Then you have Itsuki's friend Miyaki from highschool who hangs with the group as the 'straight woman' character with her own doubts and wishes. The other male character Fuwa is another author who is in between Itsuki and Nayuta in terms of success who struggles with his own brand of writing and disappointing successes, obsessing over how his works are perceived. Finally there's Itsuki's step brother who there is absolutely nothing suspicious about. All of them have their stories and are focused on well enough. It's a light hearted show with practically no drama or misunderstandings which is to the show's benefit. It's a decent comedy/slice of life/ecchi show with some genuinely funny moments. It's not a big production, but it does have a nice outro :)

I watched Imouto sae Ireba Ii, also known as A Sister is All You Need. Here are my thoughts: Wow this is complete trash. It was a mistake to feel the slightest flicker of optimism for anything created by the same guy who wrote Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. Despite being about the manga/LN industry and having characters who are slightly older and 'more adult' than your average anime, this show is surprisingly juvenile. The author really channelled their inner 14-year-old boy into this. There is a ton of sexual humour in this and most of it is utterly moronic, even by anime standards. Furthermore, the amount of time that gets spent on it is ridiculous; it's not just a line or two here and there – they spend entire scenes just for some idiotic gradeschool-tier sexual joke that makes me feel like I'm being lobotomized. The comedy is unfunny in general, but all the sexual jokes are especially atrocious and just so excessive and ever-present. This show often feels like a 14-year-old boy with an awful sense of humour wrote it with his dick in his hand. I'm not even prude or anything, it's just the constant sexual humour was absolutely eyeroll-inducing and none of it was clever at all. Literally it feels like most of this show's script was written by a dumb hormonal teenage boy. The 'siscon' schtick (recall the title of the anime) also wore out its welcome very fast, and the ways it was used were surprisingly uncreative, especially considering how frequently it was invoked. The MC was such an annoying little pervy worm; I wanted to beat him up, steal his lunch money, and hang his sneakers from the power lines. He was an insufferable little dweeb with zero redeeming qualities. What an awful MC – probably made to resemble the mouthbreather mental-teenager author himself. In fact I disliked the entire cast; all of the primary characters were annoying in some way. For a show clearly made to appeal to young men, the two female leads both had surprisingly off-putting personalities. Later in the series there is some character drama involving the main members of the cast in some kind of convoluted love-polygon situation, with a cup of jealousy and inferiority complex thrown in. This drama felt even more juvenile than all the sexual humour. It was really stupid and just unpleasant and groan-inducing to watch. I must admit, the skits with the accountant were actually funny. Same goes for the tabletop-RPG episode – that one was sorta funny and relatable too (although still plagued by excessive unfunny sexual humour). As far as the publishing industry theme of this show goes, they did make some effort to demonstrate the emotional experiences of authors. However, although the concept is promising, I was still disappointed by this aspect of the show – I thought it could have been handled better but also that it deserved greater focus. The screentime of this anime is dominated by all the sexual comedy, and this promising aspect of the show is neglected as a result. Also, the childishness of the writing and characters themselves neutered a lot of the potential this dimension of the show had. It's hard to relate to this awful cast of characters, even if some of their experiences resemble those that real-life writers commonly encounter. I thought the OST was bad. If I have to hear one more generic saxophone-heavy 'lewd atmosphere' track I am going to flip a table. Of course this kind of music plays frequently due to the prominence of sexual comedy in this show, and it does not enhance the humour at all. Even outside these scenes, the OST never once enhanced my enjoyment of the show. The voice acting for the entire cast was mediocre as well, with the exception of Nayuta – her VA did a good job and sounded cute, although I disliked her character. As for visuals, they were adequate but mediocre. I didn't like the bolt-on-torpedo-tits character designs of the females, and all the males looked dweebish and unattractive. There is no discernable art style and the visuals were never a source of enjoyment for me. Also they could have had way more fun with the character outfits, considering they're all adults in an informal creative industry, but instead the outfits are boring, uncreative, and rarely change. I appreciated the craft beer 'food fanservice' in the show. Delicious craft beer doesn't get nearly enough culinary attention in anime, haha. My overall rating: 3/10 This anime in one sentence: a bunch of unlikable characters (mostly LN authors) hang out together and there is a lot of excessive unfunny sexual humour, and then during the later episodes there's some eyeroll-inducing crummy immature character drama about people you don't care about. The end. This show is quite juvenile and a teenage boy would likely enjoy it far more than I did. Anybody who wants to enjoy this needs to put themselves in a juvenile state of mind and get in touch with their inner teenage boy. If you, like me, tend to dislike sexual humour (especially in excess) then I would suggest avoiding this anime. Were it not for the (underexplored) publishing industry theme, I would have dropped this very quickly.

I like Hashima, Itsuki even though he is sister complex I can understand his personality he can also understand his situation about making relationship and except to his family and i can't imagine that no one can drags him down his still standing and keep moving forward. I rate this anime: story - 10 Not because i like the story but a good recommendation anime i guess. Tehee >.< art - 10 Even though i cant art make an art like anime i guess 10 is enough. sound - 10 I like the opening and also end that's why i rate it 10. character - 10 If the protagonist low his mental health I believe that his friend will comfort him. enjoyment - 10 I rate it 10 because I'm looking forward it the season 2 of this anime. overall - 10 and that's all. I admire the protagonist even though he's life is rough he still moving forward and achieve his goal I'm looking forward it the season of this anime.

Many potential viewers might have looked the other way because of the title. It is misleading because most of the story is about light novel industry. But personally, i enjoyed it a lot. You can see some, actually many, echhi scenes as well and don't worry, NO incest. It actually features a pretty good story about the light novel, manga and anime industry as well. I've read the light novels of the title as well. I just wanted to know what happens in the story next. So, u can imagine that the story is that much interesting. The later anime episodes are somewhat different than mentioned in light novels, but it won't affect the overall anime story. And I really hope they release a second season In summary, if you wanna know more about light novel, manga and anime industry in an entertaining and funny (and sexy) way, you should give this a try..

Excellent Visuals and Sound but lacking in Story and Character Development. Overall enjoyment is great as the show kept me wanting for more at the end of every episode. Story wise, there is not much coverage on how the protagonist ended up in his present day situation and flashbacks were all over the place without proper flow. The show is pretty much an Episodic, Situational Comedy, Slice of Life about the average life of Novelists with nothing special or exciting to look forward to in the next episode. Character Development wise, there is not much of a development in terms of ability from the beginning to the end and the relationships between various characters appear to remain status quo even after 12 episodes.

tl;dr: A series with an amazing set of characters that has surprisingly good but pretty explicit comedy. Imouto sae Ireba Ii is a pretty strange work in that it's trying to be both incredibly intelligently written and deep while also being pretty low brow simultaneously, and it manages to pull it off incredibly well. The core of the anime is it's characters, and what a set of characters it is. Overall they're a very strange bunch, and each has a very strong personality that lends them to being immensely interesting and often very likable. There's no overarching plot, but rather the overarching story is centered around individual character arcs and the arcs of character's relationships. There are of course various plot events that occur throughout the anime, but the purpose of these is clearly to push progress in regards to character and relationship development. In that regard, it does quite well despite there not being that many significant events because each event still does have a noticeable impact and purpose. With that said, this also isn't a story where characters or relationships go through major growth and development very quickly as is often the case in anime. Rather, in a way that feels more realistic, the growth that occurs is pretty slow and steady, and ultimately there isn't a lot of growth in most aspects. Most of the time that this is the case for anime's focused around the characters and their relationships, it often feels like the pacing is too slow. However, this manages to get around that and keep very solid pacing throughout for two reasons. The first is that independent of their growth and development, the anime focuses quite a bit on showing the characters as they are and how they got there, quite a bit beyond what is generally standard for an introduction to a cast of characters at the beginning of such works and approaching the level of a series of character studies. This never feels like a waste even if it isn't explicitly showing progress because it's written well enough that it makes the characters easier to be invested in and gives the development that does occur significantly more weight. Though on the flip side, while that does result in good pacing for the anime, it results in the lack of progress by the ending hitting quite a bit harder in that it really makes me want to know how characters grow and progress beyond the ending. The other reason the anime feels so well paced, is that while all this is going on, there's also a lot of unique and very well done comedy. The uniqueness comes from two traits. The first is how raunchy it is. There are a lot of anime that have more dirty comedy in terms of quantity, but none that I have seen that felt as if they had as much in terms of extremeness. One of the core reasons behind that is that despite it being so explicit, it treats the subject matter as if its completely normal. This is also the first anime I've seen that has such an immediate and extreme normie filter, wherein the first minute and half have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of show, while also clearly setting the tone for it very well. The other cause of its uniqueness is that there was a lot of what felt like creative aspects to it. Most of the cast are authors or other creators, and hence have a creative bend. This manifests quite often in the comedy. Of especial note are the various board games and such that they play, most involving some aspect of story telling or such, which hence makes full use of the uniqueness of the characters personalities in order to tell bizarre but hilarious stories that are both disconnected from everything in reality, while also allowing the characters themselves to shine through quite well. It also often results in very bizarre satire of other series, mainly Attack on Titan. Beyond that though, it was also simply interesting seeing the exaggerated view on the world of light novel authors that the world creates, one that is pretty brutal in a lot of ways, but also quite cozy. The specials were also amusing, being short and sweet and focused around the various characters. The art and animation were really solid with the art style making very good use of characters. The various diagrams and such used for games and random information tidbits were done well. The OP and ED both fit well and were reasonably solid in terms of audio and visuals. The soundtrack was okay.

I watched Imouto Sae Ireba Ii in about 3 days time. Story: This show is very mundane in the sense that a majority of it takes place in Itsuki's room. Regardless, Silver Link makes up for it with exciting side characters, as well as great chemistry between the main cast. The show's plot isn't really a progression style plot, it's more of a 'today's shenanigans' type of thing. Not a bad thing, but it is something to note. There really isn't a 'story' per se. Which, I won't lie, kind of bums me out, considering how great the characters are and the potential that was wasted. But there's plenty of comedy, and even if it may be over the top sometimes, it gets the job done. Art: There's some excessive softcore fanservice, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. But the actual animation itself is pretty bland. Again, not much to see when most of the show takes place in someone's room. Sound: Although the OST is a bit bland, I very much enjoyed the OP and ED. That's something I don't find in a lot of shows. Character: The characters carry this show 100 percent. Each and everyone of them, including the side characters, are flavorful and interesting in their own way, making sure there's almost never a dull moment when you're watching. The main cast presents the audience with internal conflicts that we can all relate to, making them more likable overall. Enjoyment: It's a fun show to watch. It'll make you smile and laugh all the way through. Sad moments. Wholesome moments. Funny moments. Questionable moments. ENDING: It's a read-the-manga ending, unfortunately. Such is the way of slice-of-life. Many of the things I wanted to see develop simply weren't resolved or touched on ever again by the end of the last episode. Bad end. Overall: Imouto Sae Ireba Ii is an anime worth watching for more reasons than one. It's not an anime that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. It's simply a show where you get laugh and see lovable characters live their lives as adults. I'd recommend it any day. Unless you don't like a lot of fanservice or if you particularly hate unfulfilling endings.

I'm sure a lot of people out there have already dropped this show within the first few episodes, and i don't blame them. This show started off so terrible it was ridiculous. However, despite the horrid start this show really came through. Around episode 4 or 5 was where this show just kicked off and became really enjoyable. Each episode suddenly became really enjoyable and the once irritating characters redeemed themselves throughout the rest of the episodes. You know when people tell you to keep watching a show because it will get better, and you just don't want to because it sucks. This show is exactly that, i recommend trying it out. Drop it if you want but believe me when i say it will get so much better than you think it will.

Being passionate about what you love is important, but what if you take it to far? Our hardcore-imouto lover Itsuki thinks nothing else other than imoutos, everything he does and thinks about is related to little sisters characters and he passionate work hard to feature them in his ongoing light novel serie. But keeping track of deadlines and finding ideaś is challenging at time, luckily he has his four friends which two of them also work as authors. Together they take trips to the zoo, amusement park, trips to Hokkaido etc to find inspiration for his fantasy novel. The anime uses a wide mix of different narratives element, such as direct continuation from one of their trips to one of Itsuk fantasy books. As an example Itsuki and his friend wanted to go to a mixed open bath hoping to find cute girlz~ but rather than cute girlz~ they notice its only old hagz there ---> which Itsuki uses as inspiration for his upcoming fantasy novel where the the hagz are dangerous enemy trying to kill the main character. The anime is mostly lighthearted slice of life comedy with some touch of romance, it still touch upon some harder aspect of being an individual with their own struggles in life. Such as tough deadlines, things not turning out what you expected or being bullied at school. The anime is thus rather dynamic and have a good pacing, as each EP was fun to watch and stood out from the rest while still leaning back to having dinner, drinking and having fun as friends. Another big theme was playing board games and during one episode it was all reenacted the whole role playing part in a fantasy setting where they fight a evil villain. My favorite episode might be where Itsuki have a blond~loli~ accouter smugly asking him about very deep personal life~ questions! Such as forcing him to explain each eroge-games so she can write them off as "work-related items". In general I liked all of the five main character but my favorite was without the cute but incredible perverse Nayuta who wants to marry, fuck, bear Itsukis children. She has to write naked to get inspiration and needs real b00bz to write better and her own isn't good enough. It was way-way-way~ more ecchi than I thought it would be and it was all thanks to Nayuta! x3 This anime wasn't to outstanding while I did enjoy watching it~! I do like the settings and the characters but I hoped for a far more otaku-related conversations about anime or videogames such as Genshiken, but rather it was more into board-games / foodporn as it's fallback theme.

I came for incestuous garbage instead I just got regular garbage. I hate to admit this but this show made me laugh... A lot. It's got an incredibly perverted sense of humour with a few characters in particular saying some variation of "I want to suck your dick", it's not afraid to cross the line in the slightest which plays into the humour nicely and makes it unironically funny. The characters were all boring, I liked the blonde haired girl because I find sadistic anime characters entertaining and funny; and the silver haired girl was the main source of raunchy humour so I couldn't hate her too much, but other than that they all were pretty boring. Plot is also boring on paper, however I enjoyed the character interactions and scenes when they're not just sitting in the guy's room were fun to an extent. Overall this show is really funny when it wants to be, but when it's not you can feel the boredom setting in fortunately it's funny a lot of the time so that's good. Edit: Also the first scene made me cry

The Anime follows Hashima, Itsuki, a 20 year old full time Light Novel author who is absolutely obsessed with little sisters and wishes he had one himself. That's also the reason why he only writes about little Sisters and why the main girl of his Series is the protagonists little Sister. When he's not writing he often hangs out with his friends Fuwa, Haruto a Light Novel author who debuted around the same time as Itsuki, Kani, Nayuta a light novel author that is madly in love with Itsuki and Shirakawa, Miyako a university student. She met Itsuki at University before he dropped out to become an author. There is also Itsuki's little stepbrother Chihiro (who pretty much acts exactly like Itsuki wants a little sister to act) that takes care of him. He makes him dinner, cleans his apartment and is often there when Itsuki meets withe his friends. The main focus of the anime is the comedy aspect. Most of the time the friend group spends in Itsuki's apartment playing board games or just talking about stuff. Nayuta the lewd girl always says how she wants to bang Itsuki, Miyako the innocent girl is often embarassed by that and Haruto the mature guy pretty much ignores it and plays it down cool. This may sound dull but every one of the characters is still outstanding enough to make them likable. While some of the interactions may be a bit ridiculous all of them of them are entertaining and the characters really look like close friends that understand each other. While the main focus of this anime may be the main characters hanging out it also shows the problems and struggles of being an author. Sometimes this is done in comedic way and sometimes in a really serious tone. This switch of moods is another thing I liked about this show. The show can switch from a lighthearted mood to being serious in a very short time without making anything or any interaction between characters seem unnatural. Those different moods also give the characters more dephts. They don't have just one trait that solely exists to make the viewer laugh. They have problems like everyone has. Those problems also don't seem out of character for them, which makes them seem more realistic. Every episode of "A Sister Is All You Need" is good and fun to watch. In some episodes it's because of the comedy and in some other ones it's because of what the characters do, what struggles they go through or what they think about. Some of them are more gripping than others but in the end it makes a show that, despite what the title made you think, is actually good.

A lot of people say that the first 5 minutes of the show is not indicative of the full show and while that's mostly true in regards to directness of the content, the MC still fetishizes little sisters throughout the entire show, so you have to be prepared for that regardless of those first 5 minutes. For that reason, I have mixed feelings. As a story about the LN authors and the world they live in, the show is fun and interesting. But the little sister stuff doesn't work for me, as well as the relationship between MC and the girl that loves him. They have a rather contrived relationship that doesn't make much sense and doesn't get much development. It gets an explanation by the end for why things don't progress, but it's not really a satisfactory one, and honestly just feels like a hand-waved excuse from the writer to further drag it along. Overall, I think it's ok. I was recommended it as a workplace comedy-romance story, but I don't think it met the mark I looking for and overly illogical ecchi moments didn't work for me.

Aka the board game playing anime I have to give this credit in the scope that it did mature as the season went on. There's just not much else that happen, including the title. The characters are consistent as are their portrayals and the voice acting. It's regrettable that the one big secret to all of the characters but obvious to the viewers (or seemingly obvious) was left hanging, although there is an implication that it would be resolved. There is a level of fan service there, however it's not offensively in your face, which is nice because most shows that have fan service just throw it right at you without restraint. I wouldn't rush out and watch this, but if you're looking for something very light and easy, this would be a good break in between more intense or in depth shows.

Horuto is easily one of my favorite characters! Even through is trials he’s still looking up trying to reach for the stars in my opinion. Episode 11 proved to me why he’s my favorite character. He’s always there for itsuki and its the same right back. “I see what you mean” he said, I know its very short quote, but if you gives this anime a chance, I highly recommend it. I felt the characters and I got absorbed into. Watched all of it in 2 days. I also like the fact it’s mature rated so they could go full out. Jokes were pretty damn funny too. The animation wasn’t pure gold but its was good for the studio who made it 9/10-animation 10/10-for everything else.

One day, you see the title of the anime. You think to yourself, "Damn another incest anime." As such, I wish to nominate the series for most misleading title and most misleading first minute of the anime to this anime. True, this anime isn't for everyone and especially not for childrens. It has over-the-top sexual and fetish jokes. It's there, but it's not the main point of the series. I wouldn't watch this anime for the story, this is anime you'd watch for the characters. If you don't enjoy the characters, then you won't enjoy this anime Maybe you have realised since the first 5 minutes of the show, but this is a weird show. This weird show is equipped with equally weird characters. The protagonist is very unique and he likes little sisters a bit too much. Nayuta is very pervy. Miyako seems to just go along with them. Haruto seems a bit normal compared to the rest. And lastly Chihiro, "he" is the little brother of the protagonist and a very caring character. Don't forget about the side characters though, they also come with their share of quirky personalities. So as I said, you watch this anime for the characters. As for the actual story..... The main point of this series is to see the life of an author. This series describes the up and downs of the author's life, but it also brings comedy into play. The comedy is not for everyone, but I enjoy it. I'm a fan of fanservice, but I didn't really enjoy the excessive fanservice the series has. I did enjoy the games though. This series is actually deeper than it seems. It has character developments and doesn't just mess around for 12 episodes. I am also a sucker for cute characters. I would recommend to give it at least a try. Anyway, another thing to point out is. There are some differences between the source material (light novel) and the anime. The anime also left the ending at a very awkward spot. Since Season 2 is unlikely, it's just gonna stay awkward. So I recommend you to read the novels instead. It's illustrated by Kantoku and it's great. (Also, this has a catchy opening. I like it.)
