And the simple reason for that is that it's not even "so bad it's good".
It's boring.
What I hated the most wasn't the whole incest plotline or even how sexualized these 12-14 -year old characters were. What I absolutely despised was how it was claiming so hard to be a portrayal of a writer and an artist and failing so utterly badly at what it set out to do with that setup. The so called "writer's everyday" in the anime is shown as unrealistically as it could have been - Masamune has an all-nighter writing his novel and the next morning he's cooking breakfast for his sister and walking to school as chipper as always, after... what was it, just one energy drink?
I call bullshit.
Same goes for Sagiri and her art. The anime does little to get into the progress of her craft, only using it as a reason for a gag or two every now and then.
My only question here is: why would this anime build a setup of a writer and an artist as the basis of it if they were not going to do anything at all with it?
There was a damn tournament arc set up on one episode and I got excited because maybe they would FINALLY shed some light into what writing is like as a creative process, perhaps show Elf and Masamune bouncing ideas off of each other and working together to better their writings.
The tournament arc was barely an episode long because eh, who cares about that.
I would have far more respect for this anime as a whole if it didn't try to be anything else than what it is - an incest fanservice loli romcom. But it claims to be deeper or more meaningful by tackling the subject of being an artist without actually ever tackling it and it pisses me off.
