Yay, Kitamura! I also haven't seen Chihara in a while and it's always good to see an iM@S VA (who isn't Imai Asami ) get roles. Shimoda is definitely underrated among the iM@S VAs as well. Even if she isn't my personal favorite, I'm glad it's her since she has a lot of talent.

So it's SILVER LINK .. their artworks are usually good so I guess it's fine .

I was expecting the character design to be worked by someone else other than the one who did Mayo Chiki!, since I don't like Mayo Chiki!'s anime adaptation artworks, I'm way prefer the LN one ..

So we got Nagato Yuki(Chihara Minori) as Anastasia, well, they're both emotionless ..

Wait, what? 6th volume out May 25th? o_O ..

super on watchlist. Is the picture used on the website the official animation that will be used by silver link? I have no problem on silver links works and if that picture is a preview on what the looks on anime will be taking then its a good sign.

I was kind of hoping that Eri Kitamura would voice Akiko considering that she previous voiced imouto characters before. Oh well, I think the character designs look colorful and neat and the voice cast is looking superb so I can't really complain.

Hah! I was right in Eri Kitamura being the president!! xD

[DragoonKain3]

Wow, Fleur is Imouto? Considering how much Fleur grew on me (admittedly mainly because I liked her voice), that just skyrocketed how much I'm anticipating this show.

Well, you have Kirika from Cube and Makoto from Xenoglossia, I'd say they are pretty deep.

It's funny to see that people first rage thinking it's just another copy of some boring anime when they first announce it but then it starts to get shape, (summaries, VA list, visual keys, etc.) people will want to actually watch it or at least give it a chance. The same thing'd happened in the ANN forums too.

The non-blood related setting just sucks though. Then again it's not my place to say things about what other people like or not.

Some people are tired of this type of anime, I guess. I personally think the amount of imouto anime is generally exaggerated. At the very least, I feel like there aren't really a lot, maybe because I enjoy them .

I don't think there's an announced date yet.

Edit: I'm dumb. Never mind.

But they still watch them eagerly which I find a bit amusing.

Yeah I really enjoy them as well and I also think they are scarce... I kinda hope there will be an anime season where most of them (expect for one or two shows) have imoutos as their main heroine. It would be really awesome.

It's probably because of the "lack of creativity" in thinking of a title for the series. Oreimo pretty much proved that adaptations of light novels with a long name and a story about the relationship between siblings can be successful, and I don't think it's farfetched to assume that "it's the same as Oreimo" given the lack of information.

But now that more details have been given, then the real interest begins to sprout.

[GenjiChan]

Wow, another imouto? and its ecchi!!! Damn... this season never fails me, BANZAi!!!!

Well, the guy who translated the first three volumes decided to focus on other series because, "Onii-ai vol 4 is still no where in sight, though it does not really matter to me, because it is just one of the many slapstick harem series out there."

[DRAGUN H.E.X.]

WHAT!? another oniichan/imouto series!? this is madness!! *insert Leonidas here* oh wow!! & my list is already freaking full!!

[tsunade666]

don't worry, a cute imouto series can always find time in everyone's watch list

[Syokool]

While wasting time in Intenet, I've found this:

Rankings for May 21st - 27th.
Light Novels
*1, 64,344 *64,344 Hidan no Aria vol.12
*2, 30,529 *30,529 Seireitsukai no Blade Dance vol.7
*3, 29,787 *29,787 Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai! vol.10
*4, 27,647 *27,647 Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne vol.6
*5, 20,375 *20,375 Tsukitsuki! vol.7
*6, 20,143 *34,954 Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? vol.10
*7, 17,008 *17,008 Campione! vol.12
*8, 16,364 *16,364 Shurabara! vol.5
*9, 15,805 *28,535 Seitokai no Ichizon Fanbook
10, 14,998 100,212 Durarara!! vol.11

From Myanimelist's forum.

I think this justifies this series getting anime. Personally, I'm a big fan of Monogatari series, but OniAi is also one of my favorites among the other "Ore no..." or "Onii-chan..." titles.

By now, it's a little interesting to see how the rash opinions about this series are changing gradually
