2. The list includes most non-otome and non-hentai VN adaptations. You could just check AniDB and see yourself 3. I can't judge about animes I didn't see so of cause I exclude them. Someone else could add them to the list so we could saw more proper statistics Quote:
2. I said "could count" not "should" or "must" 3. For me sister is equal to osananajimi cause the case in relationships are the same. Protag and her know each other since childhood or for a long time which affect the relationship |

So that's why i am not counting Mifuyu out yet. Quote:
They don't have the same pupose for the story. The sister is more used to create an awkward/taboo relationship, while the childhood friend is more a natural type of relationship |

2. Yes you are right abiout purpose of adding a sister heroine. Bun, unfortunatly, there are a lot of cases there this fact don't mean much. The just got typical "they are not blood-related" event and all the drama ends(there even could be none of it). For example Hinata's route in Wind VN or Koharu's route in Hinatabokko. I promised this to myself couple of times already. But still watching them Last edited by relentlessflame; 2012-08-26 at 19:16. Reason: merge double-posts again |

Both are however similar as in they are already close to the protagonist with less need of a romantic development than the regular classmate, senpai and kouhai. 1. I have no ide what you are implying with that question. 2. While i haven't seen the anime adaptations nor read the 2 (older) titles , but i have read many games that that the (non)blood-relationship issue is causing atleast some drama and in some games it's even the main focus of the story. |

Ok i watched episode 7 and what we saw in begining is more clear now... For me its obviously that he want to be with Chisato, but he is afraid to make next step... Thats why he dont want to touch her... What important now its why he is afraid... They are few possible solutions-
-afraid to lost bond he have with her till now (like always in relationship with childhood friends); - Chisato younger brother and chocolate case... Anyway we will know answer soon... Nachtwandler for you osananajima and imouto/oneessan are same, but for most people there are two different archetypes... Anyway since there are some differences thats why they are two different archetypes...

2. Yeah there are enough cases than it plays large or at least descent role but there are enough than not. Sister heroine not always mean "incest drama" unfortunaty sio sometimes they are just the same as osananajimi |

Nachtwandler because its only VN, fictional stories for boys- brother/sister relationship can evolve into love... But in begining of story usually bond and relations between them is different then bond and relations with osananajimi.
Anyway we should focus more on relations between characters in this anime then how it usually end in other ones...

Nachtwandler i check some of titles on your list and you need to remember about one thing:
there is difference between childhood friend/osananajimi who live with MC or close to him all her life and between them who met only in childhood and separate for 5,10 and more years... Bond between them is different... If girl spend her life separately and they grown up apart then she is childhood friend only in name. In reality she isnt any different from others girls who try to seduce MC... Yes girls like this wins often, only childhood friend who live with MC all her life rarely wins...

First- there are two childhood friends in IS, second- they both was separated from him for few years and grow up apart, third- Ichika actually made some progress with Houki and even take initiative trying to kiss her... That was really suprising, because dumb guys like him make progress like this usually close to end of anime/LN, but thats just first season... And its big sing of his real feelings...
But thats not discussion for this thread...

Basically, the rule for Visual Novel adaptations is that the character most central to the plot premise (and thus closest to the protagonist) will tend to be the final romantic partner, unless the show wants to make heartbreak a central element of the story (in which case a secondary character will usurp the first as closest to the protagonist, resulting in heartbreak both for that character and for the viewers that were cheering for her romance).
In this case, it was pretty telling to me that they chose a scriptwriter who is most famous for writing for writing romantic stories with lots of dramatic elements (ef, KgNE, the "famous" episodes of Shuffle, etc.). So, based on this and on what we've seen so far in the anime, my prediction is that the anime will go for a dramatic finale. I suspect that will include heartbreak as a central element. But, of course, as we already see, there are already a bunch of different angles they could play on, even if they do want to include this element. We'll see what they do...

Spoiler:
I think what's ironic is that while the focus on the election keeps its core focus pretty well intact, it also weakens the strength of the other elements oddly enough. |
