| I hoped this would be real incest romance, now I'm kinda disappointed, but fakecest is still better than nocest. |
| Hmm, it's weird that there's already a best girl for the protagonist, especially since she's admitted it herself, i.e. Kotono, a perfect match. |
| Let me just say that I despise incest, in anime and real life. To be perfectly honest, the only reason I am watching this is because someone told me it was called "Incest Family" and that made me laugh. Sadly, that is not the title, but I think it's a better title. So, this is made by the same author of Rent-a-Girlfriend, so let's just say I don't expect a lot of nauce or development in this. Anyways, as for the actual show, it's about this family of 7 who are like rich or something. On the black-haired daughter's birthday, their dad literally goes, "You're adopted btw, lmao" (again, ON HER BIRTHDAY). And now the kids are (understandably) confused as hell and don't know how to feel about it. The plot is really boring, and the dialogue feels a bit unnatural at times? Like, the MC and the white-haired brother are talking, and the white-haired brother spends like 5 minutes talking about all the sisters and their personalities, but like, he's saying this to his BROTHER. Like, he already knows all this gang, why you telling him. I feel that they could've just done a little narration thingie with a random narrator and not one of the brothers TELLING another family member, but that might just be me. Anyways, the episode ends with the black-haired sister hugging the MC from behind while naked, so we'll see what happens next week I guess. |
SAIKII KUUUSUUOO  |
| The way the sisters were treating him and how one clearly loves him felt reminiscent of Seikatsu Shuukan. Lol. But going back to the actual episode, very colorful cast of cute girls is always nice, even if they each seem rather one dimensional, which I'm sure it'll expand on. At least I hope they do. Banri being a college student wanting to be a nurse and Seiha being apparently some kind of genius, you'd assume the two would have some degree of knowledge in medical, biology and/or anatomy to put the pieces together to know they weren't related unless this is one of those cases where hair color isn't perceived and only used to distinguish characters. Curious if they did have an idea and/or if it'll be brought up. Knowing the author's previous work though, curious how out of hand it'll get. Just seeing another male character aside from the male lead interacting with one of the harem girls will trigger PTSD for some. The manga's score being as low as it is leads me to question how things will turn out. It not being completed either makes me assume nothing will be accomplished either. |

| Incest aside, Shion is best girl. Or best bro. |
  |
| Wait, this is from Rent a Girlfriend author??? LMAO that's crazy, I went in without knowing and I really liked it, but maybe I'm biased because of my love for imoutos Anyway, all the girls looks interesting. Looks like Kotono already had a crush on Arata, even if she believed they were siblings, huh. Ouka, Kotono and Seiha are my favorites for now |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| this seems to have some promise, i like all the characters so far. |
Paul said: Hair color may not tell you much anyway. Natural hair color is all over the place in my close clan and immediate family, and hair color is subject to environmental factors anyway: sun exposure, dyes, bleaches, texture changes from shampoo and conditioner affecting refraction. Eye color is also a mixed dominance genetic thing, and there are contact lenses, but do note that the two actual twins both have bright green eyes.one of those cases where hair color isn't perceived and only used to distinguish characters. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Oh my god I can’t believe it, this thread isn’t filled with the unfunny incest joke that weebs like to fall on, my good mood gets to stay good lol. Anyways, this was one of my most anticipated this season, and I say this as someone that enjoys the hell out of Rent a Girlfriend, so for another work by the same author to get an adaptation, and for it to look this damn good by the great Doga Kobo, it was pretty much guaranteed that I’d love this. And not only is this gonna be a great show on its own, it’s gonna serve as a great appetizer for RaG Season 4 coming this summer, many anime fans hate it but I am eating a scrumptious feast this year lol. And this first episode was a great one kick off the harem shenanigans, because even if everyone is denying it now, let’s face it, it’s gonna be a harem lol, all of these beautiful sisters are gonna be after our boy Arata eventually, starting with Kotono first, the signs were already there for her before the reveal that they aren’t blood related so it makes sense that she’d be the first to do something. And speaking of the sisters, quite the colorful cast, great designs all around and they all seem to have fun personalities, they pretty much have a babe for everyone, not sure if I have a favorite already or not but as I always say, the blue babes always reel me in lol, but we’ll see about that. And I like Arata as an MC already, I don’t believe in destiny myself but I thought the scenes where he was pondering on it were interesting, we’ll see if he can resist the charms of his now non-blood related sisters going forward. And wow that was a beautiful OP, great song by NACHERRY too, only other song I know by them is their OP for “Gushing Over Magical Girls” which was also really good, nice to hear them again. |
| This was somewhat entertaining even though its kinda a step down from Rent A Girlfriend. Of course the youngest sibling Kotono would have feelings for Arata as the autistic brocon. |
 |
| This was very good! It's just 1 episode and they had 7 characters to introduce. Now that's over and the fun begins! Kotono just got the best birthday present a 15 year old brocon could ask for! I totally ship them. I'm guessing I know Banri's secret? Makes sense to me, given that she was 4. Ouka seems to be the hardest hit, she really does love her twin, and now that's gone. |
| Ouka clears all of them. |
 |
| Wait, they never realized they're adopted? You'd think something like that would come up at some point, no? They didn't think it was weird that their dad would come back home with a new sibling despite their mom not being pregnant or simply not being around? I mean sure they were young but surely they would've thought that's a bit odd once they got older. Anyways, not blood-related. This is where the fun begins 😏 Kotono and Arata can hold hands now! Uh... Twins?  Also omg Banri in the OP 🤤 Overall this was okay I guess. Not that into it tbh. The next 1-2 episodes need to be real good to keep me from dropping this. |
 |
| Right from the jump, Ouka is annoying as hell. Talk about shocking news being dropped on your birthday. Solid first episode nonetheless. |
 |
| What you see is what you get with this one. Visually speaking, this looks pretty stellar. Bright color palette, some nice animation at certain points, and nice backgrounds. A few nice shots as well, like Arata falling onto his bed. Some nice character designs too, really like Banri and Minami's. The real question is, is this really a harem, or is this a romance? Clearly Ouka and Kotono are the front runners, with Ouka appearing to be the poster girl of the series. To me it seems that Banri had her suspicions, or already knew, as she didn't seem as surprised as everyone else. I'm interested to see how they handle this fairly by the numbers plot. If they can actually throw in some genuine romance/development along with decent story beats, this may be a lot more watchable. But overall this was a decent start. |
| So going by looks my ratings go Pink hair Blue hair Tomboy green 14 yo black Orange Kind of confused who were actually related to each other and not. Interesting so far. |
 |
| I must be one of the few, if not the only one, who was looking forward to this show. And well, it was worth the wait, that was pretty fun haha. I hadn't even checked out the cast, so it was great to hear Rieri, Ichinose Kana and Chika Anzai. Quite a fan of the latter since Lycoris Recoil. You'd think dropping that bomb in the middle of Kotono's birthday would be pretty thoughtless but for her it was probably the best birthday present lol. Visually it looks great, as one would expect from Doga Kobo. That sequence in the OP where Ouka goes from running to swimming... chef's kiss. Speaking of Ouka, probably my favorite girl from this first episode. Btw, that's some insane jiggle from Banri's banris in the OP goddamn. |
| The girls are so cute, especially the pink hair. As expected of Doga Kobo. Though I'm not expecting something great on the story since it was written by "that author". |
| Another piece of trash to add to my garbage pile of a watchlist (Ouka is clearly set up to win). |
| So im expecting this show to be extremely wild considering apparently this is made by the author of rent a girlfriend, That being said this was actually a very good episode which I unironically enjoyed more than all 3 seasons of rent a girlfriend combined. Crazy how that works huh.. But I think this is really good because each character is blatantly very unique and charming in their own sense including the two male leads. Going into this I already knew they weren't related but I was curious on whether any of them had some kind of relation and I suppose Minami and Shion do. I'll say this that this anime will be good if it goes a similar route to the quintessensial quintuplets and ends with Arata actually choosing one of them hell I'll settle for him choosing Shion if I have to I just want him to choose someone and not drag the harem plot out. I really hope it doesn't drag like rent a girlfriend does or doesn't overdo the fanservice Im also really curious if Shion actually has a girlfriend or not. If he does im assuming that plotlines their just to make none of the main girls fall for him and instead Arata. Hypothetically if Arata does eventually get with one of them based of the first episode I'd assume this is how likely they are to be with him by the end. 1 Kotono 2 Ouka 3 Banri 4 Seiha 5 Minami I think the only ones with a real chance are Kotono and Ouka, the rest just are too eccentric to have a chance. I understand Kotono and Arata do have a decent age gap but considering who the author is the dude who made rent a girlfriend from what I heard I seriously wouldn't put it past him I also feel like they are pushing her as the main girl. That being said that may just be because this episode was her birthday. And since this is a harem with a strong cast this is my ranking of the characters from vibes 1 Kotono 2 Arata 3 Banri 4 Seiha 5 Ouka 6 Minami 7 Shion Suprisngly good first episode overall |
| Only watched this to see how bad the VA choice for Arata is and yeah it's bad, that voice does not fit at all. And also cause I've read a bit of the manga so wanted to see how it looks animated and while the plot is... well you know. But the character designs are really good for the girls, they all look great in their own way with their own charms. And if I'd want to keep watching it, I'd be lying if I said hearing Rie wasn't the reason, cause man I love her voice, her and Kana Hanazawa. |
| It's not the first plot that's had siblings growing up together and finding out they're not actually related (hell, I just watched Hensuki a couple of weeks ago), so the only seemingly logical development is for them to grow closer romantically lol... Will always be fucking absurd to me, especially with a couple of Sisters myself, but this is why we watch anime I suppose lol. I'm surprised there isn't more anime where long lost relations come back into contact after years apart/not knowing they were related, would at least make more sense, could be a good anime if they wanted to play it straight and serious. |
| the stacked VA cast and doga kobo yet again visually treating us will keep me here every week. hoping (to no avail) for Shion endgame :> |
| Just a romcom. Should add horror, suspense, psychological to spice thing up. |
| . |
| and the slop of the year award goes to |
| My Thoughts on Mono so far: |
| Must suck ass to be told you're adopted on your birthday. Dammit pops, could've chosen the next day or any day except HER birthday. Very entertaining first episode and Douga Koubou really cooked with the animation and color design. The premise is interesting and the characters are fun to follow (though they are archetypes, basically) and it's weird to see a chad main character from Reiji's work. Definitely going to keep watching. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I'm loss for words, what the hell is this !!? Adopted ??? Could it get any more ridiculous than that ??(this is a rhetorical question, of course it can) |
| The whole plot is to make this show "not incest" 🤣 |

| Talk about a bombshell at the dinner table, getting told you're all adopted on your sister's birthday is crazy. Although it does open the door for some funny and romantic possibilities now, as we saw at the end. I feel like this will be an interesting watch, and will have a similar feel to Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister which just ended last season. (which was an amazing watch) |
 |
| As much as I hate Reiji Miyajima and his works, there's a line of respect that I have for him making some of the biggest piles of dogshit to date. I will forever clown his stories but that doesn't mean I won't watch them animated. |
 |
| Great animation and art style |
 |
| I know the author of this series is the one who made Rent-a-Girlfriend, and this series is gonna be unique among others for this season. |
| Most obvious setup of the... well, decade. Kotono got the gift of her dreams on her birthday. Just hurry up and marry your little "sister" already. |
| This is hot ass, WILL be watching |
| man, if i found that out, i'd IMMEDIATELY fuck the shit outta Banri... theyre all hot, YES, but GOD DAMN, she full on BADDIE |
