I will readily confess that I mostly watched this show so that I could feel justified in lambasting it. Having said that, I will give props to the two siblings for at least bringing something a little different to this tired dynamic. Akito is witty and playful, while Akiko's displays no interest whatsoever in hiding her intentions. Between the two of them there's a legitimately funny repartee. So color me impressed for that, if nothing else. The second half of the episode, however, felt about 6 hours long.
A wild harem appears... It's not very effective. |

I have to say this is about as blatant as it gets. The girls are not holding anything back here. No one is pretending they aren't after this guy. Kind of feel bad for Akiko since no one is on her side here . I'm not really, but it's just kind of funny to see her struggling on her own here.
Been a while since I saw a harem that was this direct. Of course just means the guy is going to have to be pretty cautious since otherwise the show wouldn't be clear for tv . Doing a good job trying to dodge the girls so far and being pretty witty when he has a chance to.

Hmm, it was O.K., but not overly wow for me. I mean, Green eyes was the most normal out of all of them^^;;. Blondie was like, ok I get it you're a sadist, join the clud Larxene-v-. And for the red head, hey look, Kamina and Yoko from Gurren Lagann DID have a child, and she has an eyepatch, sweet, outside of that, meh. The little sis, glad to see a female perv after that debacle of Dakara H, but it still doesn't sell me. The animation though, as expected from the Mayo Chiki people, very well made . Overall, I'll take a few more views of this show, just for the chuckles.

I like the original Light Novel and enjoyed the first episode, but does anyone else feel like the deliveries of the joke are a little off? I cannot really put my hand on what or why. Maybe the punch lines are presented a little too early or too late or without enough impact.
Other than that, the episode did a good job showing what I like about this story--it knows exactly what it is trying to do and does not shy about showing it. I'll be enjoying this show. |

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

Speaking of which, the school's name... I can't shake the feeling but to make a connection... Between the Arashi and the school's name.(For some reason.) So... Can I say harem by this show?

Didn't do a lot for me. I liked the bit of the manga I've read, but the anime was missing something, for me.
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 personally don't care how heavy the ecchi factor is, as long as the show amuses me. I expect it to get much 'worse' than this, but we'll have to wait and see, I guess...

Just watched the subbed...
Did I skip an episode in between the halves... that it seemed that her Oniichan had an "instant" harem going on already....? Now, she really admits of being a BroCom.... even a perverted brother would be shocked hearing those words coming straight from her mouth... |

Nope, but I think I know why this ep. was like this.
Honestly, I want to see more things than in the novel, and some other stuff from... Sakigake! or so Voices are well, though I never think in Akiko's voice that much. Akito is older in the illustrations, so I find him a lot younger in the anime. Just my series to watch 'cause the fan service and lulz, nothing more than that. |

I was pretty impressed by it and searched who the voice actor was, and surprised it seems to be a newcomer to the industry. Didn't know she was only 14. Been noticing a lot of debut voice actors in the last year.

Does anyone else feel compelled to stare at the little sisters super tight “U” smile when ever it appears on screen? I just can’t look away from the hypno smile
On an unrelated note, i wonder why incest harem romcoms tend to have incredibly unnecessarily long names (KissXSis doesn’t count since they're not blood related siblings in the first place, but it's still shit anyway) -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! Incest harem romcoms feel like regular romcoms except with the goal and endgame being incest and/or the main girl being the MC’s blood related sister. Those Japanese people sure have a thing with Incest romcom. |
