Shiunji-ke no Kodomotachi

(16+) Very good series but is basically a retelling of an anime trope that has been done many times before. What sets this series apart is that the animation is brilliant, and the story itself has some extremely good episodes. Unlike many of these types of tales, it makes sense why the male protagonist is in such demand... he is a genuinely nice, moral, strong, and upstanding character with no real flaws. Lots on innuendo but no action makes this a sneaky type of sexy comedy romance, and while he definitely ends up with someone (and no one knows who yet) I'm terrified it might be with one of two I couldn't see him having ANY spark with! (The Quintessential Quintuplets come to mind and that train wreck of a coupling at the end that came out of nowhere. Ugh!). I hope this series doesn't follow the same path as that one because there is a clear winner for the M. P. in my mind, with two others very close seconds (which I could totally understand) along with two "no ways". Please, not another anime that ends with a "No Way!" Great series, though, and a good watch!

This anime gives off Hentai anime vibes at first, but over time it's good to watch. However, to be very honest, sexualizing and exploiting the pure bond between a brother and sister is cheap and awful. The best part, which should be appreciated, is the animation; it was really good. I'm not rating this anime because I have very mixed reactions to it, and I think there should be a lot of improvement in Season 2. The storyline was not upto the mark, and there were many parts where improvement is needed. I'm hoping that Season 2 will be a huge success and that the creators will focus on improving character development rather than sexualizing the characters.
