Some people are just stupid, there are five documented cases, this can happen in a set of identical boys, when one twin "drops" or "looses" a "Y" chromosome, resulting in a single chromosome, wich could mean that Sora was originally a boy, but I don't see on any place saying Sora and Haru are identical twins.

for me, 5 cases in the world is not enough to prove that they are not being totally unrealistic and stupid

It is possible, if there are certain chromosome mutation as SetsunaFromSeiei said.
When they say its identical twins of opposite sex, they do not look exactly identical due to gender differences.

So their children would have epic mutations cause of the pretty much identical chromosomes? Or did I completely forget highschool biology?

^ Higher chance for recessive homozygous alleles to bind together, which leads to mutations. Furthermore, if a particular lineage is infected with an inheritable disease/mutation, it also increases the chance of passing said disease/mutation to the offsprings. But even then, the rate doesn't go up by much thus is not as "epic" as the urban legend tends to exaggerate it; and in the end it's merely a taboo that society imposes on its citizens, or maybe some do intend for a genetic divergence of the human gene pool by imposing such restriction.... Who knows?

TL;DR: No epic mutations for YOU!!!

Here it says that they are fraternal twins. Clearly one of them is wrong but i'd be more inclined to trust the Wiki source rather than the erogereview one.

LOL!!

I love how this tread is going all scientific- I think i've just took in more science then i did in the last two years-

But really, when has anime ever NOT follow it's own laws of nature?

It's anime, last time I checked no anime has followed all the rules of science in the real world.

If so, every main male protagonist of an ecchi show would literally die in the first episode of nosebleeds, now that wouldn't be fun.

^ While they don't follow ALL the rules of science in the real world, the fact that they're made by IRL people thus be obliged to relate to a certain aspects of the real world doesn't change. Some anime/manga try to include trivial scientific knowledge and while some did a good job due to the author knowing WTF he's dealing with, others just scratch the surface of their intended subjects and PHAIL to deliver the core principle of said subjects or the author only grasps the general "rumored" knowledge and doesn't research 'nuff to know what's right and wrong then generally pick the wrong side as a result, which in turn, leads their work(s) to become an unintended laughing stock.

i think its a lost in translation type error in the west we have fraternal and identical twins, in the us we have one type of black in south america they go on to say chocolate coffee and such, there could be a third distenction in traditional japan, or only the two ignoring biology because in traditional japan twins were bad luck (double check that) my point being its japanese not american we think diffrently than they do

lol you just contradicted yourself.
i believe you intended to write "to prove that they are NOT being totally unrealistic and stupid."
although i guess the other comments in this thread have already proved otherwise.

It'd be fun to see that occur in an anime.

fixed

of course, anime, as fictional media is allowed to have it's own set of rules to follow for the story to work. but this total ignorance of logic for the sake of fanservice, if you like, just makes it cheesy and laughable

on second thought, maybe you guys are right about them two being fraternal twins. i'd also pick wiki over some blogging site even though probably neither is trustworthy. when i started this thread i just looked at the descriptions on MAL.

And therefore, they're regular siblings. It's the same as if you were fucking your 2-years-younger sister, except they happened to be born at the same time. Which makes it uncomfortable >_>
