Synopsis

Yuuta Asamura gets a new stepsister after his father remarries, Saki Ayase, who happens to be the number one beauty of the school year. They promise each other not to be too close, not to be too opposing, and to simply keep a vague and comfortable distance, having learned important values about men and women relationships from their parents' previous ones.

Saki, who has worked alone for the sake of her family, doesn't know how to properly rely on others, whereas Yuuta is unsure of how to truly treat her. Standing on fairly equal ground, these two gradually learn the comfort of living together.

Their relationship progresses from strangers to friends as the days pass. This is a story that may one day lead to love.

"Making a Miracle" aka, Souta Ueno's Gimai Seikatsu

Studio Deen isn’t exactly known for producing standout anime, right? But every now and then, with enough effort, passion, and time, miracles happen. Gimai Seikatsu is one such miracle, exceeding all expectations. The author and director worked closely together, co-writing scripts, and the director reinterpreted scenes while adding details that enhanced the story. In fact, the adaptation impressed the original author so much that they said, “This is better than my book”—which is about the highest praise any anime creator could dream of.

The pacing, storyboards, and camera angles are on par with what you'd expect from a top-tier ...

Gimai Seikatsu, or Days with my Stepsister (DWS) exactly opposes the idea of “high concept media”- it is almost impossible to imagine a story simpler and more grounded. Though low concept media is viable, and can be excellent- look no further than Hyouka- it relies heavily on tightly written characters, and peripherals of its presentation. These include stunning animation or a superb soundtrack for visual media, or elegant prose for written media. Unfortunately, the anime adaptation of Gimai Seikatsu does not carry these aspects to a consistently high enough level to ascend its simple plot.
DWS suffers from two primary ...

I'm sorry but this anime is about two robots discovering human emotions. Where normal humans will laugh and cry, these two characters open their eyes slightly wider and get misty-eyed. For an anime that's been rated 7+ here I find myself, for the first time ever, in pretty big disagreement with the overall consensus.

I felt as if i was watching a computer receive new computational input to process throughout an episode. Hell, I have a step sibling who has gone through the experience of a nasty divorce and still has a better grasp on human emotions than these tamagotchi replicants.

I gave this a ...
