| I am laughing right now at how some people, men with poor taste, can't see greatness when it stares right at them in the face. I know this meme has become meaningless in that so many people use this in anime when it should not apply.  But in this particular anime, it is appropriate. Remember when Scorsese ruffled some feathers when he judged Marvel movies as not cinema compared to some earlier movies? Having seen a few of those artistic movies, I would have to agree. It's like the big difference between something made to sell DVDs compared to something done for the sake of artistry. For people who appreciate Days with My Stepsister, I recommend reading some Thompson & Bordwell as well as some Bruce Block. This anime's sound design is great. And oh, I rate this higher than Oshi no Ko despite really liking OnK. ETA: Some are even claiming that this is 'carried over by animation.' FOR FUCK'S SAKE! I say that even if Studio DEEN gave this a so-so animation, I would have given this a high rating due to 'being carried by its writing.' The light novels are a pleasure to read, but the animation gives it a different experience. |

He picked up ham with chop sticks cause he didn't wanna get his hands greasy and dry toast can be eaten with hands easier without getting your hands dirty.
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
@Ripperdoc Except that it was an open faced sandwich...so he was still touching the ham and buttered toast Observation is actually pretty easy... |

Adverrito said: guess we'll be getting a pool scene with sexy bikinis in the next episode YES unless the show tries to be too MATURE and shows them brooding with a bunch of dialogue instead, and the gyaru covering everything up. Let's get some ECCHI and NOSEBLEED soon |

The tapes at the end??? Did Yuta have his own diary? And did Saki find it and is now listening to it? And I wonder how that girl in Yuta class that picked up whatever was on the ground gonna fit in this story. I can see her becoming Saki first real friend bc off first impression they seem to have similar personalities.
| @Zxstu I'm wondering if her declining to go and not let Yuuta go was out of consideration for the tape of Yuuta and his dad talking about their mom and the pool. It's kind of a big assumption on her part but would fit her odd behavior (besides simply being slightly jealous of his casual relationship with Shiori. |
| i like the girl is slowly starting to open up about her real feelings |
| Oh, I just realized. Saki was actually born with black hair? It seems like after she was in either junior high or high school, she changed her hair color to blonde. This episode, it becomes more apparent that Saki has feelings for Yuta, even though it seems Yuta doesn't. Just like being jealous when seeing Yuta with Shiori, so are her hand movements. In the end, Saki finally wants to join them in the pool! Is this a sign that Saki will change? Let's see! |

| Another great episode. We really struggled to convince Saki for the pool but we were successful in the end which is great. The breakfast was great. |

nothing's keeping me hooked to the story. they're talking like awkward colleagues, their conversation seems too mature (and boring) for their age, and their personalities are dull. it would be more interesting if they actually adapt into normal half siblings their age (could be close but also that kind of sibling that don't really bond), and the romance subject would be Yuta and Shiori. though the animation was so good (i like the melancholic tone), i made up my mind to drop this.
| @wilyzle Them acting mature is very much the point, they were forced to grow up quickly due to their parents' divorce |
| A little late to the party, but whatever. This is probably my favorite episode in the series due to the direction, cinematography and smart use of both limited and elaborated animation. The scene where Asamura offers to make Ayase's breakfast it's so well done with so little animation, but still looking like a AAA production. The small shot where both of them are talking face to face and the shot pans slowly towards Ayase's face, rolls down to her feet and goes back to Asamura and he finally leaves the shot looks pretty profesional without being too complex. The whole elongated cut of them passing over the butter to put on their toast and actually animating the whole process of preparing their toast was really satisfiying to watch (tons of other shows would just do a "cut to scene" and animate and upper shot from their torso upwards preparing their toasts out of frame). Tons of other shows would had been incredibly cliched with Ayase making a huge verbal overreaction about how good the toast tastes and would also exagerate her facial expressions about it. In here it looked really well animated and subtle, we could easily tell she tought the toast was pretty good without verbal confirmation nor an overreaction. Ayase and her mom's flashback actually felt relevant to the current story and Ayase's rush to growing up and being independant. Again, in some other shows flashbacks would serve as exposition and pretentious herring for a bigger event in future episodes that would inheritely fall flat anyways (looking at you Alya hides in Russian). |
