Production is going so badly that there's a hidden cry for help in the ED credits of the latest episode.
| ''During the credits of the most recent My Sister, My Writer episode, which aired on Wednesday, viewers spotted an unusual name in the credits. As underlined in the above tweet, one of the animators is listed in Japanese as 正直困太, but that’s not really a name. The first two kanji characters, 正直, are actually a regular Japanese vocabulary word, read shojiki and meaning “honestly” or “truly.” The remaining kanji, 困太, aren’t a name either, nor are they a vocabulary word, but combined as they are they’d be pronounced komata, which is just a slight modification of komatta, which means “to be in a difficult situation.” In other words, the credits for My Sister, My Writer’s newest episode contain the message “We’re in serious trouble.” It’s not clear if this is purely a message to viewers, perhaps as a plea for fans’ understanding or forgiveness, or if it’s a pseudonym adopted by an animator who was brought on to pinch hit and get the episode out the door, but in order to do so had to turn in such rough artwork that he didn’t want his real name associated with it. Either way, though, it’s a sign that viewers probably shouldn’t expect any significant quality surge for My Sister, My Writer’s remaining four episodes.'' https://soranews24.com/2018/11/17/low-quality-laughing-stock-of-current-anime-season-sends-hidden-cry-for-help-in-closing-credits/ https://twitter.com/mad_yn/status/1062753312875802624 |

| That's fucking terrible. I don't think I will change my mind on the series, but I do feel empathy towards the staff making it. |
| I can't imagine how bad it is there that they have to send a SOS out in the ed. Probably a little exaggerated, but jeez. Low budget + insane amounts of work is not a good combo by any means. It's a shame really since I'm actually enjoying the show to a degree, despite the bad art and others. (Yeah yeah burn me at the stake for liking an imouto show). Of course there's a super low chance that they're trolling us for whatever reason. |

No one blaming you for watching degenerated anime because watching hentai according to morale should be worst than that. Now to point , 1. Profit, i don't see this anime profitable at all, the production value and advertising is way below average to be profitable, and they might as well go broke trying to air this thing considering all the cost to make and airs it on TV including small Advertisement. 2. Even if it has shit summary, it needs at least watchable, for every anime came out every season only less than 5% of it actually memorable. Then again this was badly foreshadowed by Oreimo and Eromanga which has far better art and animation including all other production value such as Sound(OST/OP/ED), VA etc. 3. Japanese should've realised by now that the industry should've stayed away from getting their ass on cashgrab following the trendy tittle especially for the Low budget anime. This anime is a mistake just like Marchen Madchen. Talk about Imouto stuff, Wasn't Imouto Saraeba li have that one author who's got anime adapted but badly adapted and get shitted on or laughing stocks? Now imagine it tothe same author that currently working in the Novel. Must've been a bad day. |
Liddo-kun said: I'm genuinely questioning in what aspect this could possibly be better than Eromanga-sensei. This is basically rock bottom as far as incest shows goThis is at least better than eromanga sensei... The only other incest anime I've seen which is on a similar level of terrible in my mind is an older one called Oniichan no Koto nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne, but that's a different matter altogether |

The only reason I watched eromanga is because a friend in our cosplay community asked me to watch it. |

| @Xaelath - You do know that airing it on television is basically the least important source of income for most anime, right? 1. The majority of revenue comes from DVD/Blu-ray sales. From what I've heard, pre-orders for this show are above average, so that's something. 2. Production value does not result in a better/better selling show. Take KyoAni's Nichijou from a few years back. Like all of their shows, it was very well made and this show in particular is considered pretty good. That said, it completely flopped in Japan. Compare that to something like Kemono Friends which was undeniably far below-average in the budget department, but was an instant hit anyway. It usually comes down to being entertaining or fulfilling to one's wants. Hence why Eromanga Sensei was a success. 3. In Japan, they are much more forgiving of what we would consider "trashy" anime. What we consider good is fairly different from what they consider good. In the end, I could see this show being a financial success. I can tell you it will do better than Seven Senses of the Re'Union, a show from last season, which set the record for worst-selling Vol. 1 Blu-Ray sales (50-something if I remember correctly). That show was a just a generic isekai but flopped completely. |

| well, it had to happen. Episode 7 is delayed. https://twitter.com/imoimo_anime/status/1064813852553039874 |

| I feel bad for professionals who don't deserve it. |
| Now I read the 7th episode is delayed. Just LOL |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| an angel whispered to me and said that, you fuc*ing called it out, lad! |
| Why they even force it to be released this season. This is s*ck. I mean, it's okay to force it if they have interesting story (Like what happen to 3D kanojo, some drop graphic but the story saved it), while this one is just have generic incest story. Generic incest + Drop graphic ? It's a disaster. And now they must delayed the next episode. I just hope that there's no another marchen madchen anyore. At least, bring it till the end. |
| i feel sorry for the people working on this show. some people might have potential but are stuck being payed nothing on a trashy show like this |
| It's the 2nd coming of Marchen Madchen all over again. And this was the result for this week's episode: https://soranews24.com/2018/11/21/abysmal-anime-that-told-viewers-were-in-serious-trouble-delays-new-episode-reruns-old-one/ Because honestly, anime being anime, but with animators working more and paid less, this is the direct consequence. The industry may be to blame, but honestly, putting off shows like this would be good if these people actually got their $$$'s worth. If not, who cares really? ahneeme said: you think Japan would learn a lesson by now that not all projects are worth investing time and money into yet every season it's quantity over quality Unfortunately, this has always been the case for just about every season, past and present. Hopefully future seasons will grasp this serious problem and reconsider. |

Marchen Madchen will get its last 2 episodes though...checks original air time "2018 Jan"...shieeet, they needed almost a year but it will happen in 2019 Jan XD. The worst thing about "trash" is that the chance of being able to finish it is not even 100% since it might not even actually get finished, denying you the satisfaction of suffering through it all. |

DatRandomDude said: I really hope this show doesn't have actual fans.'It’s not clear if this is purely a message to viewers, perhaps as a plea for fans’ understanding or forgiveness, Yes, it had to. Anime like this should start to fail one after the other. I don't think it's particularly healthy in the business sense that it's near impossible for a bad anime to get axed. I'm not someone who says that current anime is fundamentally worse than it used to be in "the golden age", but the past few seasons were pretty pathetic and this one seems to be the worst by far. |

franzjpm said: Liddo-kun said: I think it's close to eromanga sensei but damn they're seriously cutting it close. and I do actually like this anime, too bad that the animators are the ones taking a hit here.This is at least better than eromanga sensei... Basically some anime just had bad adaptation, rarely a bad to trainwreck source because if it did a trainwreck it wouldn't get adapted. Like that Isekai smartphone for example. Mediocre on pretty much everything. Then there's also Beatless, after seeing how amazing the LN design and some absurd cut for only the last 4 episode something does seems wrong on the first 24 episode adaptation. |
| I am unsure how this anime is sitting above an average rating of 5. I am a nice, forgiving, incest loving anime fan. The animation alone rockets it down to a 1. Anime is a visual medium, after all, and this made me go blind. I do genuinely feel pity for the animators here. I wouldn't blame them for this catastrophe off the bat. I know what hell it is to be ordered to a perform a task without the manpower, the tools, or the time to do it well. (Honestly, screw packages. We can either do our jobs, or be safe, but we cannot do either during Christmas, jesus.) Maybe in a way, the industry is heading towards its end, if not the end of the medium itself, a huge shift in the industry on how anime is produced. Remember the writers' boycott a few years ago? If people are paid essentially nothing, there's no reason for them to work the hours they do at such a point. Screw passion for the art, people have to make a sane living. |

| i'm enjoying it personally, but i wouldn't say it's anything new and the animation is fairly inconsistent. Still i like these controversial types of shows :) |
