... It's funny how people always say "family cannot be determined by blood, but by who's their for you" until of course, the time comes when a man wants his sister.

A terrible ending to a crappy series. I had hope after the first episode, but it all went downhill from there. Maybe something good will come out of the OVA since at the end, it says Yuuhi is still going to try.

I'm totally with you on this one. I was rooting for Yuuhi the whole time, and got kinda of weirded out whenever Junichi was even considering leaning towards his sister. It just isn't right. All the incest arguing aside, I agree that there was a lack of emotion throughout the whole series. I saw a glimmer of light when Yuuhi and Junichi sort of hooked up for that one episode, but then it tanked on the very next one.

I'm not going to lie, it's definately not one of my favorite animes. Nevertheless, I will watch the OVA, seeing as to how Yuuhi might not just give in.

... I seriously have, like, no clue what just happened.
I mean... what?
So, Junichi suddenly becomes aware that he's in love with his sister.
Who may not be his sister. No one really knows. She might /not/ be his sister, but we can never really know for sure.
For all we know, she's an alien.
Or Nagomi is. *shrugs*
His parents know /something/ about Minato, but... never actually clearly say it. Great. v_v
Yuuhi totally stops caring about Junichi whatsoever... then breaks into their house and says "I'm living here to stop you two from loving each other!" >_>
Then, there's two Nagomi's.
... Umm, what?
And green-haired chick who had little importance to the show is suddenly associated with Nagomi.
... Umm, what?
And they burn this "File X"...
That Junichi's parents have a copy of anyways.
... Seriously...
What.
Just.
Happened.

I started off giving this series an 8... it had good voices, and I liked the characters... animation was decent...
Then the story started to seriously falter...
Then random BS started happening...
And nothing was explained...
And my YuuhiXJunichi was ruined by "I-i-i-i-imouto!?!?!?"
All that brings this down to about a 5 or so for me...
Pretty disappointed with the ending.
It was cool to see that the voice in Junichi's head was his previous Geno Killer self, and that scene was very well done, but the whole "You love your sister and you know it so just say it and I'll magically be happy and stop pestering you"... that was just dumb to me.

So, yeah, not too pleased.


good points raised. i was questioning it as well. does this imply that there is going to be a second season where they are going to explain the dubious parts? for one thing i think the x files is related to minato's birth.o r it could be junichi. thats why nagomi is keeping tabs on geno killer.

So last episode is as lame as rest of the series. Dumb story which doesn't make any sense, pretty much no development and... man I don't even want to list all of the flaws of this series. There were only two things helping it somehow, this little bit of fansevice (yes, I can't think about any better reason to watch it even though I'm not fan of it) and fact that Junichi didn't choose damn, annoying, clichefull
Let's prey there won't be anything more than upcoming OVA.

Well, the last episodes made this from a really bad 4 into a 5/10, but overall that was a really really bad show for a change. Normally, I am not really someone to pick on a show that way, but this deserves it. Worst show of 2008, anyone?

Only the animation was ok, everything else was total crap and not worth the time. Really happy this is over. I regret watching this.

This is no incest, since it's quite obvious that the thing his father tried to tell him was that they are not blood related siblings. Well, I don't care anyway in this anime ...

Yay for the Minato ending. Did not like Yuuhi one bit. And could really care less about Junichi to begin with.

Watch this with a grain of salt. Pretend what they said goes in one ear and out the other. period.

Seriously, this anime is like Persona 4. The main character can be associated with Izanagi, while Minato is Izanami. Then, Nagase Junichi's alter-ego Geno Killer can be considered as his persona. Near the end, his persona turned into a shadow, but it didn't go berserk. Since Nagase Junichi accepted Geno Killer, his persona did not go berserk and became a vicious shadow. Very funny..

I'd say this series is the Biggest Disappointment of the season. Mostly because the amazing cast makes people want to like it. I wouldn't say it's the worst, but then again I haven't seen everything that the season had to offer.

Overall, beginning was good, midldle (3-10) sucked, denouement was good, ending was meh. Having said all that, I'll still watch the OVA.

I also agree with everything Kvakond said.

And at least they ended with Minato like I wanted... but it lacked any meaning since it wasn't even for real incest. :P

Oh well. Its over. Another 5/10 to add to my list.

middle = went downhill :P
final episode = It picked it up but.... incest O_O
The original score would have been a 8/10... I rarely give out a 6... the -1 for incest... I don't like incest >.<
So... the series got a 7/10 from me

this ending was one of the weakest i have ever seen. granted it was too predictable(quoting someone from last ep's discussion: "three way harem!"), the ending could have still been powerful(i.e. clannad s1, or even *gasp* da capo)

plus i didnt quite get the 2 nagomis besides the fact that she might be an alien? or whatnot. in any case, i also hate incest endings(and the accompanying assurance that "we're not really blood related"). srsly how many more shows will we be seeing with that premise/ending?

And for once, a show ended with the girl I wanted it to end with. Hurray for incest! (even though they're not blood related and its a mini-harem ending.) I hope that they can show more about Nagomi in the OVA. Her twin(?) confused the hell out of me. Besides, although I actually liked the show even with all those cliches, Nagomi was the only interesting character in the anime. Still waiting for some group to pick the VN up.

Well kudos for him choosing the girl i thought was best.
Crap though that they had to bring Yuhi back in the house.
Still not rid of the tsundere biatch.

think this one is a 5/10 in the end.
First episode was best.
middle was ... bad ... do-able at best.
ending was lame because in the end they were too much of a cowards to have it end in a total Minato ending.

I...was disappointed. Though I can't say I was surprised. I loved the first two or so episodes, then it just went fail on me. Now the ending does not really explain anything, or give any REAL sense of Yuuhi losing her love to Minato. Not only that, but she comes back into the house just as freaking cheerful as ever. the pink haired girl has a twin now, and I am all jumbled up right now...thinking straight not good....ow..

anyway I want to play the VN now. random thoughts....

yuuhi was a bit extreme in beating him up
nagomi is creepy .... real creepy
those are some terrible parrents. leaving him all alone in the middle of a mountain like they left him alone as a kid
junichi used to be a bad ass. GENO KILLER RAWR
wth? the teacher is equally creepy. randomly taking his student to the beach on his bike then leaving him there? I do have to agree though how he said others would find him in an enviable position.
why are annonkouji and yuuhi in the same bed?

yeah... of course it's not really incest, was basicly confirmed by the parents at the end. at least yuuhi was somewhat less of a bitch at the end but I'm glad he didn't go with her. the others really could of used more characterization.

Look .. you're all against the incest but judging from what the father said right at the end I got the impression that minato is not really his sister. Might even be an alien because of the X files & that little hint. Hell I have no clue, but sister? probably not.
P.S
liked the ending.

Oh man, that ending made me feel good inside. Maybe because I just love Minato like crazy :P.
I knew that this ending was going to happen, but I still liked anyways. People have mixed opinions about this anime. For me, I liked it. Sure it was shallow at times, but it still gave me some laughs and the ending that i desired the most. I'm happy now :].

Can anyone explain this to me?

Well, that was an anticlimax. Especially the bathroom scene...

I was looking to this episode to reveal the true character of Junichi, which it did to a greater or lesser degree. I thought the discussion with himself following Seijirou sensei's little pep-talk was pretty inspired, but in the end he was revealed to be immature, shallow and selfish.

He decided that he can't live without his cute sister, who can cook and is sexy. Well, he can't live without her because he's completely lazy and depends on her for everything! That's not the basis for a happy relationship.

There were some really nice scenes for the supporting cast in this episode. I loved both the sleep-overs, and the parents' "flying visit". Various things said by Nagomi(s) were incredibly cute and mysterious. I adore her Choroge.

The X-files and other otherness hint at an intriguing background. I wonder if they're ever going to explain everything, or if they simply enjoy laying on the mystery to make this slightly lame series appear deeper than it is? I'm half wondering if Minato is actually a robotic maid prototype, which would explain a few things.

I'm actually looking forward to the OVA, and I'll be re-watching this series in the hope of understanding what exactly it is that the wonderful Yuuhi sees in this guy. If he is to ever develop some character, then his sister is not the one drive him. Yuuhi on the other hand seems very determined, and may be able to kick some sense into him.

I don't think he deserves any of them right now, but if Yuuhi sees his hidden potential then perhaps the OVA will be decent.

Yes in one episode Minato said to Yuuhi (I think it was while bathing?), that she may be not his true sister.. but that's because she doesn't know anything about her early childhood. Something like this was it.

In Eclipse's subs for this episode, when Junichi's parents were talking at the end, the mom says to the dad "was it really okay for you not to tell Junichi about Minato?"
I guessing that they were implying that Minato wasn't Junichi's real sister


It's a trap. Minato is really Junichi's brother XD.

In all seriousness, I agree. They dropped hints in several episodes to show that they may not be related. With that said why was the two alien girls watching over the three's relationship and why did they make it seem like the end of the world if he chose the wrong person? I'm hopping the OVA will answer some of this.

Akane was a failure. It had so much potential, but it really didn't do much. It had good animations and a wide range of amazing seiyuus, but even that couldn't save a show like this.

You know Akane was bad, when the most interesting episode was about Tsukasa's boobs.
