One dude living with 3 girls and his sister and it seems that they all went to jump his bones

sapper · 2012-10-07, 22:03

well my input on this anime is that its very interesting the whole harem is right off the bat and we all know they'll be fighting all the time which is always fun to watch but the only part i dont like is the whole sister and brother incest thing but i heard she's not the real sister but idk honestly this is one of the ones imma watch through to the end just to see the outcome

DragoonKain3 · 2012-10-08, 00:04

Well, that certainly was different. The girl is the one who has incestuous feelings, is proud of that very fact, does crazy things to try and make it happen, and the guy is the one who rebukes it? Certainly entertaining, thanks in big part to the imouto's seiyuu. She really sells all the misunderstandings caused by the brocon mindset, and the humour naturally comes after.

It's not gonna be the best series of the season, but at least it has more appeal than your typical harem anime.

Nah, it's just the current trend in LN titling, as from what I hear Japanese LN readers love to know the general idea about the novel just from the title.

That's why you have stuff like "Baka to Test to Shokanjuu", "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai", and "Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru" (yeah I already can tell that the childhood friend loses in the last one for example

). Kinda of like how a lot of movies in the 80's followed the "X no Y no Z" titling after the success of Nausicaa (Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa) in the JP box office, though I can't remember the LN that started the trend (I blame its long name

).

Wasn't a fan of this first episode. It only had one joke: the sister complaining about what the brother should have done to her and him just reacting with a deadpan expression. That one joke was the entire episode! And the other girls contributed little because they just did the same joke as well, only without the sister connotations. You can't run an entire episode, or series, on one unfunny joke.

Not really a good opener since they skipped quite a lot!!! Hopefully, by next episode they'll show us how they met...

You have a point, though I don't think that's fully explain my reaction. I do hope this will fade away. It's like swinging a pendulum slightly off the resonace frequency. A joke is getting really good but they made the tsukomi a little too fast or too late and lessen the impact.

-Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
-Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!!
-Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne!
-Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!

I've read somewhere a while back about the longest light novels titles, and I think the general theme among them is not imouto but seitokaichou.

Insane · 2012-10-08, 00:21

Hmm, my opinion about first episode of this anime adaptation:

The animation is good.
The voice actors are good.
The dialogues are being very loyal to the original.

Why in the hell don’t they have more faith in themselves?

They shouldn’t have skipped parts of the novel, it starts a little slow (if you are not into incest and you are more into the harem parts) but it starts getting better and better as the story progresses.

They easily got rid of a couple of twists and from now on everything is going to be flasbacks unless they decide to spoil things further ahead before explaining what the hell happened in the first place.

Irenicus · 2012-10-08, 00:26

Was here for wincest action. Not happy that they rushed all the other girls in without even a proper introduction and cut short the sweet "alone" time the twins had before the harem got going.

Ehhhhhhhhhh. Go away, leave the twins alone I say.

Though Akiko's VA is a pleasant surprise.

RapidPotential · 2012-10-08, 00:57

Akiko's seiyuu was pretty impressive in this one - the first major character she's had to portray, and has done enough to impress me. (She's only 14?! wat

)

The other characters were introduced like a whirlwind, but I was more fixated on their dialogues so it didn't really dawn on me until I finished watching it. I guess the pacing could use more work but it's a pretty nice start and the premise will lead to plenty of wacky antics in the future.

Lukeman1884 · 2012-10-08, 04:27

Ana is easily my favorite character right now.

Yeah, it was really weird how it when from brocon and wincest comedy to a full fledged harem one without any sort of explaination or knowledge of how they're there minus the other girls interest in the main character, much to the sister's chagrin.

I wonder if it'll be explained in the next episode or two during flashbacks why the other girls are there, considering that it felt forced and awkward that they went that route more sooner without any sort of build up into it.

I am counting on SilverLink surprises as well, particularly on the influence Oonuma Shin had these past two years, since he isn't directing this anime.

The lead girl, however.... Great voice. I can see why they gave a 14-year-old (KITO Ibuki) her own show so soon. I'm not sure about her acting, but her voice is a wonderful instrument. We're going to hear a lot of her in coming years.

I wonder where are all those feminist and child protectors, now that a real minor is involved in a morally ambiguous production... probably they care more about about fictional children than real ones.

Tsundere Louise · 2012-10-09, 11:16

So we have a perverted imouto who wished for an incest relationship with her brother, but it turned out that there are too many girls surrounding him, huh? A b-bit perverted, but I've liked the 1st episode.

Erm no, Fall season is where everybody puts on their A-game faces and brings out their best shows, arguably more so than Spring season

Though compared to last year's Fall, this one does lack a lot of the Big attention grabbing names imo...

Syokool · 2012-10-09, 17:26

Hmm, maybe I was confused all this time, and now u say that, Comiket is coming soon also.

In another note, Japanese perception is almost the same as here, and other parts of the world.
Funny thing finding there is no a general predilection about the girls.

Well, the way anime is going on sems to not be an adaptation but a complement for the LN series, so it's good (to me).

I'm here for Ana and Kaichou

Reek of Blood · 2012-10-10, 17:50

“Ok, this is funny… wait. Who are these people? Why did we just skip a WHOLE MONTH?”

Brain-dead anime needs to be more brain-dead. Stop trying to be clever, just be funny. No need for time skips in the first episode. -_-

Flower · 2012-10-10, 21:15

Hrm ... well ... the premise seemed kinda "standard" for me (for this kinda angle/concept, etc.), but somehow there was nothing "new" or "fresh" about it that jumped out at me to make me interested - to be fair these kind of shows are not my cup of tea anyway, but hey - you never know when something will surprise you.

So - dropped for now.

It's just first episode, and its main purpose just to get attentions from viewers. It's true that rushing straight to the main plot feels too painful to watch, but i suggest you to at least watch it until 3 episodes (I'm a LN reader, so you can hold my words) before you put a judgement about whether a series is total crap or masterpiece.

jeroz · 2012-10-11, 04:10

maybe i'm expecting too much, but wouldn't it be hilarious that those 3 move in not for Akito's body, but for the opportunity to tease Akiko whenever they could?

"oh she is so obsess with her brother, let's join the party and poke fun at her 24/7 by pretending that we are into him as well"

or maybe it's just another one of your usual harem set up :P
