Can you please tell us now because I am really on a brink of dropping this anime since it really is full of naive kids wanting their own fantasy world. Add it with some fanservice. So yeah, I need some kind of explanation about his communication disorder and how the hell can you he communicate so well like it is nothing. You can put it in a spoiler tag. So please please.... SPOILER alert! |

| my god, this anime is already ranked #156 after 1 day... i'm guessing everyone here's a gamer |

| Regarding the sibling's abilities and how they contrast, I'm assuming: Shiro (the imouto) is good at games of perfect information playing them out taking the objectively best line to victory. (Genius at numbers and calculations - intro to chess) While her brother, Sora, is good at games of imperfect information playing them out by reading tells and manipulation. (Genius at his own right - intro to poker) |

Oh and did I mention how Sora played all those 4characters with just his hands and feet? Man....we just got into one hell of a @$$!@$. GENUINE SPOILER ALERT! At least, it might reduce your enjoyment a small bit... |
| Very interesting!! Reminds me a lot of "Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?" and "D-Frag". Will continue watching this for sure! |

Vladislav_Paizis said: It was a good first episode and I loved the artstyle of it, but am I the only one who was disturbed that some scenes looked like lolicon pandering? Shiro is 11 years old and why the need for pantyshots of an 11 year old girl? I know it's an ecchi anime and I don't mind the genre (Golden Boy is one of my favourite animes), but lolicon/shotacon pandering disturbs me, IMO. Yeah, that was pretty fucking disturbing. |
| This was my pick of the season and this still blew me away, this was more than everything I wanted. From what I've watched so far this season some shows have shown potential to be great, but with these two MC's, Shiro being the best imouto I've seen and the colourful splendour that this has, I'll be shocked if this isn't great throughout. Now I worry that no one will take me seriously I think this is just so good. |
 |
| Dat opening ... And ecchi incoming |
| Even though it is rushed, this is my favorite first episode of the season. Splendid indeed. Got me wanting to read the novels... but I'll wait.. I'll wait... |
| No Loli No Life Pretty good first episode, looking forward to this |
 |
| Oh boy, that was great. Looking forward for next week's episode :D |
| Didn't expect this thing to be so fkin brilliant. 10/10 so far next episode now please. |
 |
| Potential best action anime? This is gonna be big this season along with Mahouka and Black Bullet. The art is amazing, the colors are perfect! Reminds me of SAO. Tbh I am not fond of OP main characters at all, but this might be interesting. It is good, it will be very popular too but sadly, it will never be my fav coz I dislike OP characters... And I hate cheaters even more. I don't like certain types of perverts either (Preview hints Sora to be one...) I dislike Sora already... Neutral to Shiro as I am not fond of geniuses. It's like there is no excitement when you get a cool OP character who is going to win anything. Will watch it for princess. I am honestly a bit disappointed with characters. The art and setting is amazing though... 7.5/10 for the story and its execution. 11/10 for the art (it's amazing and the main reason, I think, this is getting a high score), 5/10 for the characters (perfect siblings = the main drawback), 9/10 for sound, 7/10 for the enjoyment. 7.7/10 ~ 8/10 |

| Haha. I love this one. It rocks ! |
 - barely alive - |
| I actually really liked it, there's just one thing that I didn't like from a personal perspective and that is the colors, I really really really prefer to have my animes not in any one *shade*, It's an eyesore for me. |
| Quite a good first episode. Something about it reminds me a little of Yumekui Merry, although I'm not entirely sure what it is... The animation and music were great, though. My only complaint is that Sora seemed to adjust to the world way too quickly, but I still can't wait to see where this'll go. |

What? Do you even know the definition of the word "Hentai"? Not even close to it. i shure do know what hentai means and it means NOT „anime/manga with sex scenes“. ;p it means „weird/strange condition“ most in a sexual way and showing (especially young) girls panties IS weird and sexual stuff between a boy and his younger sister is also weird. |
| Great first episode |

Wrong. Hentai, when used by non-Japanese, is a noun referring to sexually explicit(18+) manga and anime. Hentai, when used by the Japanese, is an adjective which means abnormal or pervert. |

| I'm not sure why people are banging on about the ecchi already, apart from a set of bouncy breasts and a pantsu shot there wasn't really any - which is good. I love the art style in this, the colours are great. Hopefully it will continue to be good. |

| Oh god loved this first episode, reminded me of Mondaiji-tachi. The episode was so amusing. Completely rofl'd at him playing 4 characters at once with both hands and both feet. The sister is so friggin adorable and attached. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Ai Kayano voicing the mains too, reminds me of sakurasou duo. Oh, and the colors! So vibrant! If this show keeps up, definitely will be a favorite. |
| Great first episode :o Definitely reminds me of Mondaiji and Shiro reminds me of Touwa Erio from Denpa Onna. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| So far, I find it pretty average. The art is mediocre and none of the characters have stood out to me. The only thing going for it is it's premise. Even then, it just seems somewhat generic. I don't believe this will be a stand out anime this season for me, but I intend to keep going with it. It seems pretty hyped, and the novel has a pretty high rating, so it's still very possible that I'll be proven wrong, which I hope will be the case. |

| OMG THAT WAS SO AWSOME! I can definitely feel some Mondaiji, and The World God Only Knows. BUT THIS COULD BE BETTER. So fast paced. o: but it's all cool. Makes sense. AHHH, CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EP |

" — Aisaka Taiga and Takasu Ryuuji |
| So far, I liked it. I just randomly clicked on an anime because I haven't been following one for a long time, and I liked how colorful it was and all. I especially liked the main guy. And how he's so good at cheating and seeing when people cheat xD But I'm not such a big fan of all this fanservice... By all this, I mean "what I saw in the preview of episode 2". Naked girl and random clumsy unwanted boob touch like in , uh, HALF of the animes (okay I exaggerate but you know what I mean). I've seen that over and over ._. But except that (and no I didn't check the genre, I didn't know it was classified as "ecchi", I toldya I randomly clicked and the summary seemed good enough for me), I'm waiting for the next ep =3 |
| Now this is a good adaptation. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Well, this was surprisingly nice, the art, the main characters, premise and the story, really loved every second of it. 5/5. The only thing it has to do now is to not mess it up horribly. |
| Tet and Steph voice is not what I'm imagining but it is nice too. Looking forward to them making mundane game turn epic. Jibril is on the OP too. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Oh wow that was great! Probably my favorite first episode this season. |
| This definitely caught my attention, I really infatuated with the settings and plot. Also that Ten Commandments rule of that world simply hook the heck out of my interest. Moreover main characters of this anime is something that rarely to be seen in anime nowadays I believe, the siblings as seen in this episode shows they doing a Mary-sue like power without actually using unexplained magic, they doing that with their human capability, or at least that what I perceive for now. This is what Mondaiji should have been. Also I really liked that the original creator of this anime Kamiya Yuu is a non-native Japanese. I'm not saying this because I resent Japanese author, the reason is because the anime came from someone who were born outside Japan. |

| It was nice, It's kinda similar to Sword Art Online. I'm waiting for next episodes. |
ReasonDesu said: prensenting/looking at a young girls panties for sexual reasons ist weird. and thats hentai. loving your young sister is also weird. and thats also hentai. hentai is NOT a genre. and i do know Japan for sure, kiddo, and there those desires would be described as hen(tai). and the opinion that this hentai stuff doesnt fit this show dont mean that i hate this show. i only said, that this imho doesnt fit.Hentai is sexually explicit by definition. Just because you deem something unacceptable doesn't make it Hentai, also, welcome to Japan. Kids these days. |
| Meh, All right I guess. Too much fan-service for me but that's to be expected of an ecchi show. 6/10 . |
| I am a human. |
| Nice, going to enjoy this one, so colourful. |
| Hmmm, this looks really good. I want more :( |
 |
| So colorful, I like this show, reminds me of Mondaiji!@#$%^&*().. |
 |
| I just wish this is not an ecchi. It really has a good plot |
| El.Psy.Congroo. |
| Good stuff.... Moar Brother+Sister anime.... 4/5 |
 |
| Look at some of the LN art and preview for next episode, there going to be quite a bit of ecchi in this anime. I just hope that the ecchi and harem stuff don't get in the way of the plot and as a substitute for plot. |

Up 'till the end of the second volume, not much harem stuff, and over half of the ecchi is played for laughs... |
| This is amazing. On my favorite of the season. |
| Looks great so far, very interesting too! |
| Really cool start an very likable MCs. |
| This is quite good actually. Pretty entertaining so far, and the visual are great. My only gripe is the imouto. Hopefully, it's not going to turn into somewhat incest or loli molesting... |
