Imouto sae Ireba Ii.

Itsuki Hashima is a light novelist obsessed with little sisters, strictly focusing on them when he writes his stories. Despite his personality, he is surrounded by a tight circle of friends: Nayuta Kani, a genius yet perverted novelist who is in love with him; Haruto Fuwa, a fellow male author whose work has seen considerable success; Miyako Shirakawa, a good friend that he met in college; and Chihiro, his perfect younger step-brother who takes care of the housework and cooking.

Together, they play strange games, go on spontaneous journeys, crack silly jokes, and celebrate each other's successes. However, each individual must also deal with their own issues, whether it is struggling to meet a deadline or coming to terms with traumatic events buried in their past.

This is my favorite anime of all time(as of writing this review), so I am super biased in this review and most people probably won't like it as much as me, so take the review with a grain of salt.

A sister's all you need is a well written story with interesting characters, that also touches on serious stuff if you look past the surface.

If you have a problem with fan service then you shouldn't be looking at an anime with the ecchi tag.

I wouldn't recommend this to someone who doesn't like dirty humor, because there is quite a bit of it.

If you ... have a normal amount of a problem with incest than this show is fine, but if you have a severe problem with it than you probably shouldn't watch this.

If none of the above apply to you then I would recommend this show. The first few minutes are not the actual story so don't drop this because of what happens in the very beginning.

I give this a 10/10 because I liked it from a few minutes into the first episode, and for some unexplainable reason it is my favorite.

If you liked the anime read the light novels

Mixed Feelings

Overall, a fun and humorous show that talks about the creative and narrative process. The little sister trope is a bit overplayed for me, but I think it lands fine. I liked the characters but that’s the issue I didn’t love anything. Honestly, the character I felt for the most was the editor because is job is very demanding. I just think the show had more potential instead of a group of friends all liking each other. Each one has a in depth backstory, but we barely scratch the surface for them. When we get character development it is focused as a reveal to the ... audience but instead it should be for the characters. I have not read the light novels or the manga, and I could see where this could excel in a second season. Yet, it had the room and time to do it earlier and in fails in that. If you want a laugh and a bunch of nudity, then this is the show for you. I just wish the plot and characters had more depth and time dedicated to explore that.

The show had potential with some of the deeper content but it felt like panning through mud for gold and only coming up with a few specs that aren't even worth anything. The characters are not good. Most of them are creepy or downright criminal, with several of them being guilty of SA, which just gets brushed off as if it's normal to strip strangers clothes off on the street because you want to see their naked body, or downright R-ping other characters to get them to agree with you. These examples sound extreme but they are things that actually happened in the show. There ... are some more meaningful moments, but they're completely overshadowed by the unending torrent of s*x crimes. Even when it comes to the positives of this show, the unfortunate truth is that this show is designed to appeal to people who have ego problems, as the overarching themes include feeling worthless, reckless spending, violating the rights of others, and trying to be the "main character". It might seem like the show gets better as it goes, but it actually just gets worse. I'm sorry, but the only thing this show did for me was inflict psychic damage to myself. I regret watching this show and I wish I spent my time doing something better like kicking broken glass or flossing with human hair.

This show would have been fantastic if they just boiled it down to 4 episodes and cut out all the creepy and degenerate garbage, but they didn't.
