Loved it, was actually far better then I had expected, kinda sad that it was so short though, I would watch more but I'm not one for live action :P Mainly because live action is seen as people, as where *and I know this is strange* I wake up and I see everything hand-drawn and everything is like an anime, Just... not as interesting, or me thinking to tell everyone "The days plot" :P but anyways, Great anime, Hope, pray, that they do something more then the OVA or OAV or whatever it is, really want to see more.

First impression... Yori's sick! But you got to appreciate his efforts of distancing himself from his sister... 5/10

I watched this day before yesterday I really liked it once u get past the incest aspect of the series it isn't all that bad. I personally would never have sex with a family member but to each there own.

Aside from the incest it wasn't like I had ever seen anything like that. So for me it was like a ehh to the storyline because it didn't really make me go like WTF because I have known people like that. As wrong as it sounds.

I gave an 8/10 because it was a touching story and the ending wasn't all that bad.

So sad and dramatic. I wish they made an actual, longer anime adaptation (like, 6 episodes) which would have shown all the story, this is more like a teaser for the manga (which I can't wait to finish).
Still, I didn't expect it to be this good. I think it's actually better than the manga, in a way. Maybe because the art is somehow nicer, maybe because the voice actors were not bad, I don't know, but for a single-episode OAV, it was well-done. I've seen much worse stuff which has a way higher rating.
Also, the ending song was pretty good, and the lyrics were very appropriate.

And yes, incest is wincest desu.

This gave me such a headache. For a few minutes I had to stop myself from going into, "EW INBREEDING" mode and distance myself from the taboo. Once I did that, I was still confused. Just...this struck me as a really unhealthy relationship. Iku just kind of moved with the flow. She showed no signs of loving her brother up until she thought she would lose him. Just, I don't know. It didn't feel very romantic but it was tragic.

Also when Yori randomly told his friend about him and Iku I just went, "WHAT!?" So much for protecting her. It's like he tells someone and then leaves. What happens if Yano decides to spill the beans to someone? It's not like Iku can conveniently escape those kinds of rumors.

On the other hand I was so enchanted by that puppy. It made me happy.

I can't believe how shamelessly they ripped off Angel Sanctuary. The personalities were xerox copies from Setsuna, Sara, Ruri and Kira (Kira's copy even looked like him!) And everything was there. "God is watching", the Ring that broke, one of the siblings moving to another school so they'd be apart, sentimental airport scene...

The only thing they changed was their parents still lived together and that their feelings were a LOT more shallow.

And it wasn't even good enough to warrant a proper comparison to the amazing manga that was AS.

i liked this anime but there was not as much of a build up to the love story aspect. the reason i say that compared to another anime that also has sibling love in it( Koi Kaze) there was not much of a story line farther than he used there friend to try and forget about his sister and the friend did not want to give yori up. well in the end it was a grait anime that i give a 10/10.

I was impressed by how absorbing it was, as well as believable, considering its MAL rating and 50 minute length. Koi Kaze is a great incest/romance with a realistic edge, too, but the age difference between the siblings made it difficult to get TOO involved. But with the siblings in Boku wa being twins, that wasn't a problem. I'll definitely be following it up by reading the manga; my only disappointment being how it ended without any form of ending - highlighting that it's more of a trailer than an adaptation.

I liked that the lead didn't just give into his emotions, or force himself on his sister; instead opting to distance himself from the problem. That was brave (as was him moving away AFTER sleeping with her, in order to create a future for the two together.) And I also liked how his sister didn't instantly accept her brother's love, only realizing her feelings after starting to view him as a man for the first time.

Firstly I thought: Sick! D:

Secondly I got really interested

Thirdly I started to replay some scenes

Finally I loved this anime!

When it ended I was like WTF did I watch now? D: but I loved it! Guilty pleasure D:... Really emotional anime, covering very complicated and taboo-like topic. Anyway I give it 9/10. I really did enjoy it!

thought this exactly as well!

i mean, im sure we ALL knew what we were getting into, given the title name - but this was done very well.

its strange, alot of the wincest series'es ive watched were top notch. Yosuga no sora, koi kaze (a masterpiece) and this was very solid as well. much better than the harem romcoms out there...but maybe its because of the taboo topic that allows for a great story

9/10!!!

I think this anime really defines the words "True Love"

I remember screaming "Now thats true love" on the really caring scenes,like when Yori put the blanket on Iku because she hesitant and definitely when he started praying for her to not be punished for taboo love.

This Anime really touched my heart. 8/10

Well, what can I say about this OVA?

It's a bit emotional especially involving the whole forbidden love story. Right in the beginning, there's a love triangle and then an affair.

Why does this remind of Rumbling Hearts?

Well, I'll probably check out the manga as this OVA wasn't too much what I expected.

How can you guys like this anime?
I think Yori was the biggest douche. Cold, rough, pushy and needy.
And how he slept with his classmate only to ditch her afterwards...

The anime failed to show much likable about him. Well, the characters weren't very well developed anyway.

even though i've seen Yosuga no sora i still cannot wrap my head around how these anime present incest in such normal light. it's damn creepy :s
i couldn't even enjoy the romantic bits because a tiny voice in my head kept saying "she is his precious little sister" nyyyeeaaahhh

I wished we got to see a bit more character development but overall it was great. I thought it would be another cliche little sister anime but it proved me wrong. Yori is sure strong to leave Iku despite his feelings for her. As for Iku she devoted her heart to Yori so seeing him leave really hurt her a lot. When they had sex at the hotel I could tell is was pure love because he said he waited 15 years to finally release his emotions and same with Iku, they loved each other so when they had sex it's as if the bottled up feelings for one another blossomed into that passionate night. My only worry was if he used protection because if she got pregnant her parents would be mad at her and would ask her who she had sex with. The guy is safe to say is not those type of guys who would spill the beans. When Yori told him that they had sex and he loved her he understood how he felt because after all it was pure love. I'm actually glad the ending train scene didn't make Iku and Yori kiss lips but instead a kiss on the cheek which symbolized that Yori was talking to her as a big brother and not a lover.

I'm hearing Morikubo Showtaro's voice everywhere lately.

Overall I have to say that this turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I think the story was well put together considering the time constraints and it was able to convey the themes of their forbidden love. The ending was bittersweet but very realistic considering that their relationship would have never worked out even if Yori stayed and it was but a fleeting moment of happiness for them to share together. Although Yori does hint at the idea of moving far away with her one day, so who knows.

I really liked that bit about the Clover/"She-Lover" and thought that was clever. I also really liked Yori's idea at the end by hugging all of his family members, embracing Iku one more time. Although I felt bad for all of Tomoka's NTR moments, I thought they did a good job at portraying how Yori was always out of her reach. Especially that end hug scene as well as the railroad crossing.

A bit reminiscent to Koi Kaze and I like how this handled incest with a thought provoking story rather than using it simply to service. 7.5/10

And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

I don't really understand incest like if you think about it, we just tell ourselves that it's bad and a sin, kinda like lgbt+ relationships before it was acceptable.

Incest is fine (consensual obviously). I like how some idiots are saying it was good if you take away the main point of the show...You take that away and there is no show to begin with...lol. People need to get over their social justice tendencies and stop trying to force their ridiculous unsupported morals on everyone...

A bit too short for me to adore, but touching nonetheless; has a sort of Koi Kaze feel to it. Maybe it's the animation? They way the two fell in love was a bit random, to say the least. Not as good as Koi Kaze, still worth a 7/10. Incest isn't as disgusting as I thought it would be. In anime, that is.
I still feel mostly neutral/indifferent to it...for now.

I'm quite surprised that I enjoyed it, maybe because it's quite realistic? Like, something like this is possible to happen in real life. The story is so sad and tragic but has its own "sweet" side even though it hurts. Whatever the end is for Yori and Iku, I wish them all the best.

I had to watch this with high quality since people told me this is a consensual incest story and it's apparently a forbidden love story lmaoo. Yori was one of the characters that I can hate and thus why I want to stay single for the rest of my life because he had a fucking affair with someone but tbf having a sibling x sibling relationship is almost difficult to wrap up so it's kinda strange don't ya think seeing these relationship publicly at first sight yeah? As long as it's consensual then sure why not. Iku struggles too when confronting her love to Yori because God is watching them, like God is watching us everywhere too. The plot overall had me kind of fall asleep when both of them were talking because it wasn't that engaging but nonetheless glad they were able to sort things out when Yori was about to depart and maybe live a happily ever after together.
