The first ep didn't sell me, but the second ep did. Hilarious. Endearing. Fairly smart, for all its cliches. And fanservice galore. Gu-he-he.... I guessed who the author was, but rejected the idea as too over-the-top, lol.
Kito Ibuki may only be 14, but she's got talent and force. In a cast interview on the official site she says she has an elder brother herself, but he's not as gentle and protective as Akito. She introduces herself by saying she's in third-year middle-school and gives her age, then Ousaka Ryouta (Akito) does the same (he's 26). Then Kitamura Eri (Arashi) chimes in: "What's with this trend?" And she doesn't give her age (which is 25). I think she may have been protecting Chihara Minori (Anastasia) who is 32. In the interview, Kito-san says that Akiko's lines have a lot of energy and roll quickly from high to low spirits, and says she hasn't quite got it yet, but will work hard to get better. Actually, I think she has got it, and just needs to work on giving her words clearer definition as they roll along. Here's the (too small) pic accompanying the interview: front (l-r): Ousaka Ryouta, Kito Ibuki. rear: Shimoda Asami (Gin), Chihara Minori, KitaEri. The "special" page of the official site also announces that the Cure Maid Cafe in Tokyo will be running a "Little Sister Cafe" based on the show 2-11 November. There is also a series of "slide-puzzles" using pics of the female stars on this page. And there are some free Twitter icons on this page. The short form of the show's title is "Oniai," which I think has some funny associations: niai can mean "suit each other," and oni-ai could mean "demon love." I'm not usually a big fan of Chihara Minori, but I thought she was particularly good here. So were they all, really. And Minorin's OP was excellent.

Well, I like Akiko more in the anime than the LN, and her voice is just too perfect. Graphically is a candy eye, and since it's not an adaptation, things could be better the next episodes. I only want more fan service with Kaichou-san (dang, she said se-dorei, right?). |

I would love to see how that plays out in the end But no I don't think he had that kind of idea- perhaps it didn't start out that way and the script was changed at the behest of the editor to make it an incestuous story... But as it turns out he was surprising good at it

Wow, great second episode.
We got to see how each character acts in front of Akiko, Akiho is simply brocon all along, Anastasia and her jokes of him calling her Ana that has the same pronouce as "hole", Gin and her best friend act, Kaichou and her amazing antics(sex-slave was amazing!). And we can't forget his editor Ginno-san. |

Sheesh that OP, it may as well say,
Subtlety? What's that? The part about Akito being the author of the book was rather funny, he undoubtedly uses his sister's antics for inspiration. He can certainly never let her find out, she'll undoubtedly triple her attacks on him. |

I honestly clicked on this thread by accident, and the first post I see is mangatron quoting EroKing's pictures, causing me to click on the Arashi tab, resulting in my curiousity being VERY piqued. In conclusion, I am now checking out this show...who knows? Maybe I've found my guilty pleasure show for this season?

You know, it's not following the LN at all, or at least only following it loosely, and unlike Campione, I'm completely fine with it. Though since they didn't introduce when the other girls showed up, I'm somewhat worried that some of the best starting moments for me would be left out...
