This also?

What's up with 2012 and all the awesome LN adaptations?

The majority of anime adaptations news comes from LN stuff, and I don't know why they adapt it so much due to fans' rage like "I grow tired of incest romcoms" or "What the hell Japan don't stop making such LN adaptations !?". :confused:

I support LN adaptations.

I support it too. :) Hope the anime industry might recover from Japanese financial crisis.

WHAT?! ANOTHER possibly incestuous romcom?! Come on!! We've had enough of this stuff!! MOVE ON ALREADY!!!:mad:

Sorry, just had to get this out.

Never. We need more of this. MORE MORE MORE!

Besides, almost all other LNs are crap anyway.

I'm not a fan of incest romcoms (I liked Yosuga no Sora), but I rather want to watch LN-based action harem animes over this.

I'm placing my bet on it turning out that one of them was switched at birth.

You heard it here first.

Now who would voice the imouto? That is what I am looking forward too.

Think of Ai Kayano or Aki Toyosaki voicing Akiko. Or Eri Kitamura and Yoshino Nanjou. :D

Well, I like the light novel series of these two siblings, and I want to see more anime based in LN.

Then again, 2012 is giving me so many gifts: Oreimo 2dn season, Monogatari series will be adapted to anime, Oreimo 2 for PSP, all the awesome anime this season, etc, etc.

I won't dismiss this out of hand, but it sort of depresses me that anime/manga/LN seems to offer so few good series about normal sibling relationships, yet endless ones with incest overtones.

So a twincest series?

I am in favour of Yoshino Nanjou (heh, heh, Oni gokko fandisc...:D)

Aki Toyosaki.....voice doesn't fit my image
Ai Kayano....to me, Ana fits her more.
Eri Kitamura......student council president.

And we need one for Gin. Maybe Kaori Ishihara (from Rinne)?

I feel sad for ToyoAki not being here in the cast. If it wasn't for her, I would still enjoy, but I have high hopes when she's here (she is one of my favorite seiyuus after all).

Agreed more wincest.

Not all Light Novels are bad. It's just that some of the good ones are hard to find than others.

Preferably blood related wincest. xD

I prefer that too. wincest in any form is quite epic win in any form.

Not exactly a huge surprises anyway...the bigger surprise is the fact Nakaimo got animated first before this...(Same publisher, both imouto title, but this sells 2x better than Nakaimo...)

Won't comment too much since I never read this one, though...

As for who'll voiced the imouto, I'm going with Ayana Taketatsu (Running)

P.S. What's left in terms of LN I know...Hentai Ouji is I think getting animated (don't remember whether it's ever confirm), and the only other one from the top of my head is Mahouka Kouko no Rettosei...

It seems this anime will be relevant to my interests.

Endless "Perks" Soul

I wouldn't count on Ayana-san because she has that "tsun" feel when it comes to Imouto characters, and Akiko (the lead Imouto character) isn't tsun at all. I could be wrong but that's just me.

I think Kana Ueda, Kanae Itou or Ai Nonaka are my best bets.

Would it kill them to animate something that hasn't been done a million times before? :heh: Someone brought up Hentai Ouji earlier, why couldn't they animate THAT?

Same.
I prefer this LN much more than Nakaimo so I'm glad that this also got animated :D

Kirino's one of her most famous roles but really she isn't limited to tsun characters at all.

The Plot Summary in the OP is kind of bare so here's the one from mangaupdates:

After being separated from each other for 6 years since the death of their parents, fraternal twins Akito Himonokouji (brother) and Akiko Himonokouji (sister) had finally reunited together again during the holidays thanks to some planning from Akito, despite objections from both of their adoption families. Being happy that Akito had fulfilled his promise to be with her again, Akiko confessed readily that she had incestuous love in Akito, and will not hesitate to do anything to win the love of Akito. Akito however does not harbor the same feeling for Akiko, and as a result has a headache with Akiko's actions. Despite all these, he still loves Akiko as a sister, and finds her adorable and cute, especially when he had not seen her since she was 10 years old.

I'm looking forward to it, seeing Akiko's antics animated should be a good laugh.

IMO...the only reason why I bring up Ayana is only b/c of the fact that she voiced the imouto that starts the floodgate (somewhat) of imouto LNs...

Personally I think they're "saving" it as a "secret" weapon...

Personally, I think there was a LOT of imouto LNs before Oreimo became hot.

Finally I can see Anastasia in her full glory. Yay!

Now we just have to wait for the info about which studio doing this ..

Btw, considering this was announced in summer .. the airing date would be .. winter 2013?

I'm going to bet on Zexcs, just for the fun of it.

What's with this correlation of incest-themed anime with horrifically long titles?

Maybe to catch the eyes of the Imouto/wincest lovers more easily? "Shrugs shoulders":heh:

LNs these days, regardless of the themes, have insanely long titles. Don't ask me why, it's the current trend.

^ Long titles for light novels are more often seen in slice-of-life novels, though. Fantasy or Sci-Fi light novels often have straight-to-the-point titles like Sword Art Online and High School DxD.

I'm not saying that they don't exist before Oreimo. But how many of them even sale over 10k or is well known? Alternatively, if you can even name a few...

On a side note, while this will be on my "to watch" list (So is Nakaimo), last I check the review of this series and Nakaimo on Amazon are not exactly the best...

Hmm... noticed its written by the same person who wrote Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun, admittedly one of my guilty pleasures when the anime aired. Looking at what little info is there on the web about it (unfortunately my Japanese friends didn't like it as they think its an Oreimo ripoff so no info from them), it doesn't seem like there's a childhood friend this time around though. :(

C'mon Suzuki-sensei, maybe make blonde girl the forgotten osananajimi? (after all there were 2 in Ninomiya-kun) Heck, I'd be happy if Imouto-san is merely just not blood-related lol :heh:

I think it's quite different from Oreimo .. Akiko & Kirino are way too different if you ask me, personality-wise and whatnot.

You should read the LN if you want to know .. OR you can just wait for the anime, and find out about it.

i still dunno why i m attracted to a series that has oniichan/imouto labeled onto them.....

If this is anything like that other show that started with 'Oniichan...', I'm in.

I was enlightened. I was corrupted by Micchi.
