The fight scene with the chocolate monster is so epic!

I haven't decide who my favorite character is yet though.

This anime is so random and weird. But I like it, it's unique. Finally a unique anime that has something different to offer. Definitely won't drop this.
So many reference, the most noticeable one is the hare hare yukai dance, lol.
Can't wait to see what more surprise and random things this anime would give us XD

Ha I see its one of those WTF anime, I will most likely watch it because I haven't seen anything like this in some time. Sometimes its fun to watch something like this.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Weird shit.


- Disgusting siscon onii-chan with oji-san's voice, it's a first for me to feel disgusted by a siscon in anime..

- Dafuq with the sudden action? They're trying to hard to make it weird, hoping that it would be as popular as Bakemonogatari(?) Boobs missile can go to the rubbish bin, it's ot funny, not interesting, prefer breast acid so much more from that one ecchi anime.

- Why is it that the teacher, froggy girl, and the lil sis seem to like this creepy dude? I totally freaked out when he was asked to help her in the bathroom, and her daily activities like changing clothes, brush teeth, and etc.. That was creepy and disgusting as hell..

I didn't know what to expect (didn't read anything about this; just dl'd the BD) ...

Screamed SHAFT from the start. As a SHAFT fan boy, I screamed.

Turns out it is indeed SHAFT.

Da faq did I watch? Doesn't matter; SHAFT.

Oh yeahh SHAFT.. amazing art and animation.
I love the characters and soundtracks are really well done too.

When chocolates starts taking over.. I only had "What the hell am I watching?" in my mind.
Another unique anime I'm going to enjoy watching.

Worst first episode of any anime I've seen. What was the point of that chocolate battle anyway, besides riding the coattails of Madoka Magica? Other than the siscon brother, I like every character, especially Sasami. So I'll continue to watch, hope it gets better.

OP: Animation - I still need to re-watch/5, Song - 2.9/5

As expected of Shaft, its really creative!!

I really like the character art, background art and color balancing.

I dont see any romance element in this show though.

Action scene is pretty good too.

ED: Animation - ??/5, Song - waiting for next epi/5

Episode: 3.7/5

Exactly that. The first ep deconstructs (if I'm using the secondary meaning correctly) various anime (and visual novel) cliches-slash-tropes, albeit rather unsubtly. Hopefully, there will be more story or other substance to the series, though.

Brother's face being hidden is a reference to visual novel games, where you typically don't see the face of the male protagonist (ie. player). This allows the player to project himself onto the character to better immerse himself in the game. But the anime subverts this by showing how ridiculous it looks to hide a character's face, and makes the brother anything *but* a figure the watcher, presumably a male otaku who plays these visual novels, would want to project himself or otherwise identify himself as. It's also possible that they took an older male voice actor to point out that not all siscons are teenagers. Note that brother's last lines are "My love transcends age, gender, and blood".

Brother himself may represent the all-powerful otaku, who, effectively, controls what is seen in anime.

ED dialog points out that often the VA of a character in the series sings the ED or OP, but sings it not as the character, but as a singer.

At first i was like , oh shes a hikikomori having chuny things

But the opening and somd others things started to be strange

Now i think sasami is a god , a pure god that cant resist the "poison" from outside , shes trying to go out to see if its now manageable to its not

The 3 sisters might just be yokai in training , while big brother would be the previous yokai or the one that will take care of the god health (sasami health)

The chocolate would be i guess desire emotion from humains that turn into that chocolate invasion , i guess theres some invisible monster or uncreated monster uqing humains emotions to materialize themself

However i dont get the siscon/brocon part , maybe gods must do incest things

Same for the brother hiding his face , does he have something to hide , or its to protect her from something that could reach her , or its like ppl using mask to prevent virus in both way
Or its just a game thing where the MC have no face since you cant see him , but it doesnt fit with everything else

Asumi kana and shaft , my 2 favorite seeyuu and studio , 9/10 for now

If the ending part didn't happen it wouldn't really seem that far out there. The slight artsy look of this alone was making me think its either going to be boring and never really go anywhere or not male hardly any sense. One or both of those may or may not be a thing to describe this
