"Wah the reveal at the end was so shocking. I am totally speechless, woah."

7/10 for keeping me entertained by adding Ana to the cast. The rest of the crew was so-so but the blonde beauty made the series for me.
The novel sales seem to be solid which is the main purpose of adaptions (i.e. while shooting for BD sales, also supporting the initial work) but I wouldn't really consider a season two to become reality. There's many stories our there such as the one we all just finished so yeah, that's that for the series in my opinion.

The "not connected by blood siblings" makes me tired.
Anyway, enjoyed the ride :)

While there wasn't much of a plot I still enjoyed this. All of the episodes were funny and I was never reluctant to watch.

Normally I would give something like this a 7 but I think it deserves a little better. A second season would be great.

Overall 8/10

Does anyone have a stitched together version of the Alisa picture in the OP?

Also them not being blood related is such a cop out. When will there be an anime where the siblings actually ARE blood related. Ugh.

(Not necessarily supporting incest, but getting sick of the same plot tropes over and over again.)

This episode seems to be hurried too much.. I hope they got a second season.. but then again, there is not much to tell anyway. As much as I love the characters in this series, I'm quite disappointed with the story composition, lack of serious conflicts, controlled environment, I just hope they put more drama to it.

overall: 6/10

I have to agree....

I would prefer them to be related by blood, that's the "Taboo factor" that we enjoy in watching these anime.

Of course we all know that a siblings shouldn't be in that type of relationship but who cares, that's why anime is fiction!

one of the worst i've seen this year had some ok moments i'll give it that but with only like 2 likable characters and a very flat MC imo this anime falls kinda short even for a Harem.

So they aren't related by blood, and the plot thickens for the possible season 2, if one does indeed happen.

Aki Sora, Yosuga no Sora, Myself Yourself (secondary pair of characters who it seems clear have a special relationship after time-skip), and I'm sure there are others that I haven't seen yet.

You might look at this plot device as the same thing as the fine print on VN's that tells you all characters in the novel are 18--including the first year high school students--if you really want to you can probably pretend you never saw it.

There also are some shows (for example the venerable shoujo romance Marmalade Boy) in which the main characters strongly believe that they are related, but are prepared to start a relationship anyway--just not have any children to avoid negative genetic consequences.

Of course these are buried under the avalanche of "we're not blood related but we were raised together" faux incest shows like Kiss x Sis. This seems to be the sort of anime trope that really gets under the skin of foreign viewers (in terms of offending them), but judged on the persistence of the plot device (at least one or two each season) it seems to reflect something present in Japanese society and something that may have been around for quite some time (I just finished reading the Tale of Genji and the lead character's relationships with relatively close relatives and particularly his kidnapped child bride, Murasaki, would be pretty frowned upon today).

Since anime and manga are commercially driven, unless we want to descend into deep sociological and psycho-sexual analysis of Japanese society, all we can say is that the trope sells, and apparantly sells quite well, otherwise we wouldn't see so much of it. Of course another factor is that once you are allowed to get away with implied incest--noone is going to complain about panty and boob shots or other ecchi fan service, so most of the shows featuring this trope appeal to a certain demographic. Me? I never watch them myself...

This series was enjoyable, but I can't help but feel disappointed at the ending where nothing happens in the harem.

For once I'd like a protagonist that actually showed SOME interest in the girls instead of just pushing them away like they're gay or something =/

Overall, 7/10. Laughed many times and enjoyed the ecchi parts. Ana was great too.

Akito said He and Akiko is not related, so it's good chance for Akiko to get his love XD lol. Best harem anime, the design characters are very moe and freshable, can't stop watching akiko's moe face.

2ND SEASON PLS!

"Guhehehe"

I lol'ed at the "Yahoo" from Arashi when everyone else was hugging Akito out of fear. So the green lights were cats... and ghosts. Not fireflies in the dark. Open ending, yeah - but we've already been given a glimpse of that elusive harem ending.

Akito secretly pulled the "we're not related by blood" card, and implicitly revealed that he did have feelings for Akiko that he was just holding back. Bomb drop by Akito at the end. Title drop by Akiko at the end.

Well, that was an entertaining watch. When viewed from the standpoint of just a comedy show, it works. It was fun. I never really expected him to pick a girl at the end - it doesn't usually happen in shows like this.

"Life goes on" is what i thought the ending looks like, and i did liked it. But that revelation by Akito at the end kinda bugs me, hopefully a second season will fix that.

At first, i didn't quite get the story, because the girls' personalities were quite eccentric, especially the brocon, Akiko. But as i progress every episode, i became interested, and their interactions were like a breath of fresh air, keeping me comfortable, no exaggerations whatsoever. Overall very good anime.

8/10.

I'm glad Akiko got some focus at the end, giving a gracious 3/5 for the episode.

As to the series...what an utter disappointment, and the really sad thing is that considering it was an ecchi harem I had basically no expectations yet it failed even that. There were a few genuinely funny scenes, and I liked Akiko and Arashi. That's about it. Even though by the title it was supposed to center on Akiko, it was basically "How Akiko Messes Up Everything And Gets Little To No Screentime" the show. 4/10 and I was being quite generous.

No surprise there about them not being blood related. Good thing Akito kept it a secret though... can't imagine Akiko's all-out attack if she found out though I would like to see it happen if there will be a 2nd season.

Nice sleepover... Arisa could sleep with me anytime!! :D

Overall, the anime has been quite entertaining, providing a lot of funny moments especially with Ana. Though I felt that the flashbacks could be presented at the first few eps and not the last few.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

but yeah i liked the ending <3 I think there will be a season 2 :)


I actually do hope that he has feelings for her. Or why else is he writing those incestual novels? I think he is only putting some distance between himself and Akiko because he indeed loves her´ that´ way. But is too scared to confront it. But what an ending......... did they do it or not? lol

Well, it's harem you shouldn't expect any more.

Though I hope for second season also, I really like those characters, especially Ana and Ginbe. Akiko was a little bit annoying from time to time I guess.

definitely above average show, mainly because it made fun of all harems in the first place :)

It was an okay series. I felt like it was more comedic on the first few episodes and dropped but picked up again in the least few episodes. Anastasia for best girl. lol She's such a troll.

can't believe they aren't actually related lol.
