Lol, Mahiro trying to try herself to be more fit physically is amusing. Gotta admire her effort at least.

This episode also had a lot of fan service with the bath scenes. Hope Mahiro can get used to her new lifestyle lol

I begin to hate this "because you are physically a girl you cannot behave like a man anymore". "You must turn into a beautiful flower and you can't be attracted to girls". This feels overall like a bad lesson to men and women alike.

1. The most outragous thing about this anime is not the loli fanservice but Crunchyroll's censorship is which can ruin the artstyle.
2. Pretty good second episode, the humor of this show works very well so far but my favorite part was when Mahiro says he doesn't care about his sister's naked body, so the show tells the viewers that isn't gonna end up as a degenerate incest comedy.
3. Mahiro and Mihari had quality time and did girly stuff they have great chemistry as well. Mahiro also had his first period which can be shocking for a person who was born a boy, the scene wasn't great, it took too much time ro realize what's going on but it still made me laugh.
4. I may review Onimai next week as a preliminary review because I know that some oversensitive bastards (who are actually insensitive to others) will trash on this unfairly underrated series.

Seems like the period scene was adapted faithfully compared to what most pre-air watchers thought when they saw the PVs lol

The bathhouse scene was something alright, I can already imagine the censored minute-long static images on the first part of the episode.

This is something Matt Walsh would say, yet Twitter somehow sees "trans representation" in this.

Kinda refreshing that they took it there and discussed/experienced menstruation, as embarrassing as it was for them, it was an unexpectedly tender moment between siblings dealing with real world, very normal stuff which is typically universally avoided. Bravo.

I watched the uncensored version and the fan service wasn't too crazy. This one kind of had a chill SOL vibe, almost peacefully settling into their new normal.

Well, Mahiro is technically a transgender right now

But this episode was quite the opposite, it literally made jokes about expectations towards men in modern society.

He was born as a male and still identifies as a male, because his memories and identity remained unaffected.
I'm not gonna overanalyze this completely unrealistic scenario, but it's pretty clear, that forcing someone to conform to their biological sex is not really a proper message to send.
So far as we know his sister caused him very severe Gender Dysphoria.

Knowing these bastards, I was convinced that they'd show the blood. Kinda disappointed, but also relieved that they didn't.


One thing I like about this anime, is how many weird angles they "film" at. Especially compared to the somewhat bland presentation of the manga.

You're completely overthinking it. I also don't think this anime is actually has trans representation at all. This is a bizarre comedy with a magical sex shift theme(not biological sex and gender identity shift). This anime's about a weird (but also relatable) brother-sister (or maybe sister-sister) relationship between a shut-in and a genius. Both sides are wrong about this anime and see in it more than it actually offers. But we've only seen 2 episodes yet, it's easier to discuss this topic after the whole series aired.

Was pretty cute Mahiro and Mihari switching roles washing eachother’s hair and in the end how Mahiro offered to take care of Mihari in return for what she did.

And @Piromysl
I’m not really getting that as a message. It’s just how the characters are. To me it just comes off more like what is masculine and feminine are just perceptions that get influenced by how someone looks and their bodily limitations and people often get hung up how they are seen by others from expectations. For example the “sitting like a girl” thing, Japanese girls often sit like that because they have wider hips but some guys also do sit that way if their anatomy allows it. It’s a comfy position for girls but most guys are uncomfortable in it.

Hilarious review. Periods is a cliche for any story of a guy turning into a girl that lasts for more than a month. It was comedic and pretty simple.

5/5 Fun episode.

That's not what the episode says, Mahiro was forcing himself to be masculine, Mihari never protested against that, she just ended up telling Mahiro that taking care of your own health is more important than worrying about something silly as how one masculine is.

Thats the way japanese think i guess.
Honestly i can bear that thinking "Mahiro is a girl and subconsciously conforms to gender stereotypes"
so she adjusts to what society thinks a woman is.
This is my favorite manga.

Apparently a whole month went by already. Mahiro is now very very girly, though only a bit more. Still at this rate, mahiro will probably be full blown girly in another ep or two.

That being said. (Episode title jebait aside)

We have (albeit a pretty brief) public bath/shower scene, while it is nice it does feel a bit frontloaded so to speak, though I guess they do need to get the conversation about the hair out of the way.

It does bring up the point as to whether/if, since eventually I'm assuming there's going to be more public scenes since they can't possibly have the entire anime in their house right? Either way its still strange though, but for now its kind of endearing and it would sound weird. Hmm.

The ep as a whole is still quite cute though, although it feels as though things sure happened really quickly yet not much happened.
I wonder if mahiro's hair is going to be a recurring trend.

The relationship between mahiro and mihari is still quite interesting, cant wait to see more. None of the other supporting characters have shown up yet, though for now its probably still fine to just have the two main characters.

I really wonder whats going to happen, would be both a big deal if no other male characters did or did not show up. Still seems like it would be weird.

It is rather interesting though, since both of them are cute but still have their own quirks/flaws.

The fanservice scene in the middle of the ep was uh, something, sure wasnt expecting mahiro to do her own hair like that.
Its also funny how they actually talked about how mihari always wears the same thing.

(I also find it funny that, apparently mahiro never knew about the period. Anyway hopefully we're done with all the drama stuff.)

Ideally there would be less censorship related stuff in the next few eps but uh hmm.

I'm still vaguely curious as to how old mahiro and mihari are supposed to be and other stuff, but I'm assuming more stuff will be happening in the upcoming episodes so I guess it can wait.


[Off topic but still somewhat relevant: Does anyone else feel that there's some sound balancing issue with this anime? The difference between the quiet and the loud scenes/voices seems really drastic. Mahiro screaming is one thing but even the other lines have a big difference.

Most of the scenes are also really bright, but while there arent that many in contrast with the dark scenes its quite drastic as well.]

Mahiro wearing cat ears and saying "Nya"......

.....this show knows where my weak points are, huh? X3

Once again, this was another amusing episode with plenty of fanservice that I'm sure others will like. Mahrio and Mihari's trip to the local bath house had some nice fanservice angles, but it was also a nice time for the two of them to bond together more now that Mahiro is a girl.

One thing that did take me by surprise was Mahiro having his first period/menstruation. Looking at the above posts, it seems like this whole thing is a sensitive topic, but I think the series handled it rather well as it still had its funny moments during the serious subject at hand.

On another note, Mahiro was also playing Guilty Gear. I only ever played it at a friend of mine a few times, but it was pretty fun to play, so seeing it make a cameo here does make me smile. =)
