Interesting; I agree with you. I have spoken up fairly often on these boards about not being phased by the "quasi-incest" in shows like Da Capo and Onegai Twins. Perhaps the fact that I have two sisters and that the relationships portrayed didn't feel like sibling relationships to me played a part in that. In fact, when people watch those shows and can think of nothing but "ack!!!! incest!!!!" it makes me wonder if I'm watching the same show! I'm also curious about the relation between those bothered by the hints of incest in Onegai Twins and only children; it would be an interesting study!
