Yuki trying to carry this episode through Wincest is crazy...
Really out of pocket with the first half of the episode.

Also, the fourth wall break for fanservice is MAD, like what???
I can't tell if this self-aware nature is refreshing to see or if it's annoying, but I guess I can support the former for now (although it's really questionable).

All the characters are really likeable and I like their behaviours.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

So much fanservice, random incest things and just so many things that have nothing to do with the interesting plot it was said to have.

@Paydah14 Still think it's 'so-so'?


Regardless of what you may think, the LN isn't. And S2 will be the best romcom of whichever season it airs.

@Dr_Delicious70 Chu should keep watching. The anime will delve into the story at the latter half. But this entire season is just a prologue to the LN story. The real show starts from V4 or will start from season two.

Yuki needs to be in every episode because holy stromboli this is my new favorite episode so far lol. From the 4th wall break, to the otaku talk, the wholesome sibling stuff (and satire heheh), and even the introduction of the other student council member, I was fully engaged with the episode entirely! I liked the rock themed ending and also the underhanded teasing Alya's sister is doing (which some people might find bad but like let her have her fun too lmao). Great episode all around!

I think the incest subplot in this anime is disturbing. Let me explain why. I've seen plenty of anime with questionable themes (not exclusively), but this one feels off. Usually when incest is portrayed in anime it is done in the context of comedy, making it look foolish and unappealing in some way. However, in this case this sister even while still being presented a perv is also made to look sweet and relatable. In one scene she engages in self-care habits like hair brushing with her brother, which is in itself a pretty normal and innocent thing to do between normal siblings, but due to her unusual brocon interest it might inadvertently be normalizing her tendencies. This is because this interaction was framed as an authentic moment of intimacy between the siblings, which could be seen as pardoning incest, and it deviates from the "normal" portrayals of incest in anime (presented as unappealing and comedy). This is also psychologically inconsistent on the part of the MC's behavior. If the MC is weirded out by her then the normal thing to expect is that he also avoids her when she asks with double intent to engage in physical grooming activities like hair brushing, but he doesn't react that way.

They could have just portrayed her as a complete fool, which is a risky move for female characters (I've only seen it done properly in watamote), or omitted the subplot entirely as it doesn't contribute anything substantial to the main story.
