Anything can happen. It's a dream. One minute you're on a date, the next you're in some type of fairy tale world.
The concept of 18if is interesting. People are stuck in their dreams and the main character, Haruto Tsukishiro, has to find a way to help them. In a way, the dreams are sort of like delusions. The "witches" - who are the people stuck in those dreams - only want to see what they want to see and it prevents them from seeing the way things are. (Up until the main character shows up anyway) But the show also makes you wonder, "What's the
...
difference between right and wrong? Who decides what choice you make is the right one?" It's hard to say how often this happens in the show but it's a bit self-aware. The way each episode comes to a conclusion feels weird at times. Some where you'd expect a bit more defiance instead of acceptance and others are just regular responses. I'd also like to point out that it goes by the villain of the week format which, personally, feels mundane.
At times, the story doesn't feel concise making you wonder if the story made any progress or if it was some dream that didn't have an effect on the overall story because it's a dream - anything could've happened and dreams aren't supposed to make sense sometimes right?
Furthermore, the show has presentation issues. As I said before, it's hard to tell what matters and what doesn't. It has some type of conceptual, philosophical idealism, and social commentary included with this which is awesome but it's hard to resonate when it tries to include so much topics that the show loses a sense of direction throwing you off course on what the hell you're watching. Point is, it tries to be everything. Not that it's a bad thing but it's hard to tell on how I should feel about an anime when there's already enough going on.
With a show like this, it's hard not to talk about the way it looks. Take it in a positive or negative way, but almost every episode looks different. It turned weird, it turned funky, it turned ugly, and it became gory at times. Personally, it became a bit of a turn off but you can't judge a book by its cover all the time.
Overall, to reiterate what I said, the show's concept was interesting but there was something about it that was not drawing me in. That being the one dimensional way of storyline and characters - how things were written off - and a lack of emotional investment. If I can't tell how I should feel, I wouldn't say the show did a good job in making me feel invested due to too much happening and not being concise enough. It's a very unconventional anime and an okay story. I enjoyed the show for what it is.

Hey guys, do you like video games? Are you a gamer? Are you alone? Are you an awkward individual? Are you also an otaku? If you checked off more than one of the options I listed, I got the show just for you! It's "Gamers!" The show where all of your characters are nothing more than a bunch of awkward teenagers trying to connect with each other.
You can't help but cover your eyes hoping it doesn't get any cringier. Seeing this makes me want to bawl my eyes out as the characters fail to interact with each other like regular human beings. It's a mixture
...
of cringe, frustration, and stupid fun rolled into one. First and foremost, I'd like to say, the show is a comedy. Personally, if a show has made me laugh countless times, I'd say it did its job correctly. I'm sure it is also safe to say that the show is one giant ball of confusion. At a certain point, you would hope that the confusions would be solved A.S.A.P. right and everything would be fine and dandy? WRONG! The confusion just keeps going on and on and quite frankly, it feels mundane.
I would also like to mention the casual and competitive gaming portion of the anime. Personally, I was hoping there would be more emphasis on the difference between those two as the anime is titled "Gamers!" but it seems to be more focused on the relationships between the confusion of the character's romances.
The anime opening and ending theme songs aren't special in any type of way either except that it sounds video game-y and the art is art.
To sum this whole show up, there's a love/hate feeling with this anime. I had a good time laughing but also a good considerable amount of time cringing at everything that happened out of pure stupidity from the characters. To a certain extent, what they do is reasonable like being jealous and worrying about their partner cheating but the misunderstandings are just irritating. I had expectations that it was going to be a typical, otaku, video game club anime where the main character is a wuss which is kind of true but there were times when the characters stood up for themselves and I, personally, found that admirable in its own way. There could've been multiple ways where "Gamers!" could've been better but what I got were headaches and laughable cringe. Keep your dreams to yourself. The show is a slap to your face for having expectations.

This is that show that you stumble upon at 3 A.M. when you're really bored and have nothing to do. Personally, I found the jokes to be predictable in the sense of it trying to be "random" but I won't say that I didn't get a kick out of it because I did. The show has its merits at times where it'll catch you off guard and make you think, "what am I doing here? Why am I watching this? Why am I still here? There are certainly better things I could be doing with my life." I'd say it's not the worst thing ever
...
but it's incoherently watchable.

When thinking about superheroes, the phrase, “larger than life” might come to the mind. With the rise of superhero-themed movies and T.V. shows, it would be an understatement to say that stories about superheroes hasn’t influenced pop culture. Inspired from Marvel and DC Comics, Horikoushi Kouhei presents Boku no Hero Academia.
Boku no Hero Academia is a play by play anime that derives its story and artwork from the source material. Meaning that the visuals and story is almost equivalent to the manga. The story of Boku no Hero Academia is about a powerless middle schooler aspiring to become something bigger than he can possibly
...
imagine – a superhero. The show follows our main character, Izuku Midoriya, and his journey to become the greatest hero the world has ever seen. To describe this story in other words, this is a coming of age anime.
With that being said, this type of story couldn’t happen without its characters. There are two types of people in the world of Boku no Hero Academia. Those who have "quirks" and those who don’t. Unfortunately, for our main character, Izuku Midoriya, doesn’t have “quirks”. Personally, it’s quite interesting to see the people around him try to bring him down and help him grow. In a way, one might say, Katsuki Bakugou, his classmate, is his rival since he’s this intimidating person who sees Izuku Midoriya as this pathetic kid and is absolutely disgusted on how he aspires to become a hero despite being “quirkless”. As for the rest of the characters, even though there are a lot of them being present in the opening theme song of the anime, rest assured, they play a useful role that gives them time to shine. However, with well story and character development comes pacing issues. The anime is paced at a very slow rate – making this the show’s downfall – in killing the vibe of those who want the gratification of seeing action.
It is clear that the overall design of the show as well as the designs of the characters were inspired by American superhero comics. Boku no Hero Academia is filled with bright and warm vibrant colors that give it a comic-like effect.
The opening theme song, “The Day” by Porno Graffitti, is a J-Rock track that tries to pump up the viewer’s blood for the show. The ending theme song, “HEROES” by Brian the Sun, on the other hand, is – sadly – a forgettable J-Rock track. However, after some episodes, the ending theme song feels like it fits the show.
Boku no Hero Academia is a thrilling coming of age storyline about a boy, who is powerless, aspiring to become a superhero. Those expecting a lot of fast, intense, and action packed episodes might not entirely be satisfied with the way the show progresses due to the pacing. However, it sticks true to the original manga leaving viewers – who have read it – to know what to expect.

Capturing the attention of the audience is quite difficult when creating an animation short. There are a few things to consider such as an original concept, strong script, appealing characters, well executed comedy, and visual allure. Needless to say, Uchuu Patrol Luluco executes these concepts quite well. Furthermore, the repertoire of the creator, Hiroyuki Imaishi, has worked on a considerable amount of anime throughout his career that many anime fans may give him credit to where it’s due. From the person who has worked on titles such as “Kill la Kill”, “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”, “Nihon Animator Mihonichi”, “FLCL”, “Neon Genesis Evangelion”, and “Panty &
...
Stocking with Garterbelt”, Hiroyuki Imaishi presents a 7 minute animation short called “Uchuu Patrol Luluco” (also known as “Space Patrol Luluco”).
The story of Uchuu Patrol Luluco is quite simplistic. Uchuu Patrol Luluco is about a middle school girl, living in a co-existing planet with aliens, who wants to live a “normal” life. However, all of that changes after her dad, who is a part of the Space Patrol, is frozen solid after eating a dangerous capsule leaving Luluco to go to his office for help. Little did she know, her “normal” life is changed forever after the chief, Over Justice, makes her a part of the Space Patrol. With that being said, even though it’s straightforward, it’s not as predictable as viewers may thought of it to be – surprising viewers with awe-struck moments and intense animation. To describe the story in further detail, Uchuu Patrol Luluco is like sweet and sour sauce. Part of the anime is innocent and charming while the other half is intense and wild. The story combines these two elements making the overall show not too boring and overly exaggerated. By the end of each episode, the story will resolve, but also introduce something new, leaving viewers to anticipate what is to happen in the forth-coming episode.
A small cast isn’t bad as long as the creators know how to utilize them correctly. Needless to say, Uchuu Patrol Luluco features a small cast of characters that have enough air time for the viewers to care about them. Each character plays a role that adds something towards the anime. Furthermore, the characters act their age when there is interaction between them and it is shown throughout the dialogue. For example, when one of the characters, Midori, goes on a rocket ship with Alpha Omega Nova to stop a massive meteorite from crashing into Ogikubo. Midori starts taunting Luluco by making her jealous, forcing her to go onboard with them. This creates a love triangle between the characters. However, it’s not affection what Midori is yearning for, it’s wanting what someone else wants.
One thing that should be noted is the unique art style that is done throughout this anime. The atmosphere consists of a cool color scheme that gives the anime an overall relaxing vibe. The artists has also intentionally used a warm color palette – in certain scenes – to make things stand out.
Another thing that should be noted are the character designs. Some of the character designs resemble previous material that Imaishi has worked on such as such as “Nihon Animator Mihonichi”, “Kill la Kill”, “Inferno Cop”, and “Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann”. It’s quite clear that these had some type of influence in the development of the show. Besides the influenced character designs, backgrounds of the show appear to be real life photos. With this in mind, it’s clear that Uchuu Patrol Luluco is set on a fixed budget. However, it’s not noticeable enough to break story immersion.
The opening intro track, “CRY Max Do-Heijitsu by Fujirokkyuu (Kari)”, is this energetic, wacky, and action packed song that fits this bizarre show. For those familiar with the artist, Teddyloid, fans may notice some of the tracks he has done such as “MEMEME!”, “D City Rock”, and “Fly Away” from “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt”. Bonjour Suzuki, on the other hand, is an up and coming dream pop artist that has worked on a few new anime, but hasn’t done any major titles. With Teddyloid’s track composition and Bonjour Suzuki’s voice, the ending theme, “Pipo Password,” is this soft, melodic, upbeat song that fits with the tone of the show.
To reiterate, Uchuu Patrol Luluco strays away from being a run-of-the-mill short animation. Uchuu Patrol Luluco is this short, sweet, sincere, and action packed adventure of an anime that’s full of surprises. Ride along the – not so normal – journey of a “normal” middle schooler and witness the experiences she has as she is forced to become a part of the Space Patrol.

Considering the title of this anime, one might assume it's about a girl who has magical prism powers. Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s no supernatural powers here. For a 12 minute OVA, Nijiiro Prism Girl is very fast paced. Without a doubt, this anime expects you to adapt to the world and characters that are presented to you. I, myself, love a good flushed out romance story, but this cuts straight into the climactic events in a short amount of time without the extra buildup. In the 12 minute time frame they had, the series provided a quick backstory for each character that was
...
encountered. With that being said, the anime managed to keep me somewhat attached to the story while keeping me “in the moment."
However, Nijiiro Prism Girl entertaining me as a comedy, failed to do so. Nijiiro Prism Girl’s comedy is based on the main character’s ability to improv in an unexpected situation. There were a few scenes that made me a smirk, but overall, it couldn’t bring me to enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Another flaw that Nijiiro Prism Girl has is its generic art style. Characters that are presented don’t have distinctive looks that make them stand out. Of course, you’d expect an anime to have an opening and ending theme song. In Nijiiro Prism Girl, there’s only an ending theme song which isn’t very remarkable at the slightest bit.
Unfortunately, this show suffers from being just another anime due to its generic art style, forgettable two-dimensional characters, and uninspiring score. I won’t say that I didn’t enjoy this, which I did, but if you have time to kill and want to see a few suspenseful romantic interactions between characters, feel free to watch this. Other than that, I don’t think I’ll be watching this again.

I seriously did not know there was a third season for Miss Monochrome: The Animation, but after I saw the listings of anime for Fall 2015, I knew I had to watch it. I know I am pretty late to review it since it’s 2016 but who knew it would come out so soon after the second season?
Anyway, Miss Monochrome: The Animation 3’s storyline takes place right after the second season. In this season, Miss Monochrome’s album has finally been released and she is now preparing her tour to become more famous. From my point of view, it seems as if this season
...
was similar to the first one. Miss Monochrome: The Animation 3 brings that over-the-top comedy back with a new reference in each episode. I was really surprised to see that they brought this element back but in the back of my mind, knowing how each episode was set up made it feel repetitive. With that being said, the story may not feel like it progresses, but it does. Speaking about references, Miss Monochrome: The Animation 3 references events that happened in the first and second season. If you haven’t seen the first and second season, I advise you to do so.
There’s not a lot to say about the characters. There’s no major addition or anything of the sort. Yayoi is still the same overambitious klutz, Maneo is still trying to do whatever he can to help, Miss Monochrome is still trying to become famous, and Ruu-chan is being Ruu-chan. Mana and Kikuko make an appearance from time to time but not as often as before. The backup idol group for Miss Monochrome, Caramel, gets a little more air time though.
Needless to say, the art style of Miss Monochrome was enhanced. The character designs look more detailed and the environment is a little more vivid as well. The 3D CGI for Miss Monochrome has improved dramatically such as the lighting and detail. If you were tired of seeing the same old outfit Miss Monochrome had on, do not worry. Miss Monochrome has a different outfit in the new ending which makes it refreshing to see.
Something that should be noted is that there are two opening and ending theme songs now. The first opening and ending theme songs are “Black or White” and “Step by Step”. Both first OP and ED theme songs were the same from the second season, but had a few new animations included. On the other hand, from episode 10 and on, the opening and ending theme songs are “Miss Monochrome Taiso” and “Kimi to Boku”. I really wished that they changed the opening and ending theme songs in the beginning. To me, it didn’t make sense that they would put a good theme song near the end of an anime; I found it to be very disappointing since I was only going to hear it for three episodes.
There’s no doubt that I enjoyed Miss Monochrome: The Animation 3. There was always something to look forward to in every episode. Be it a random promotion for a game or subtle fan service, it was all fun to watch. However, I disliked how this season didn’t show some characters in the previous seasons and incorporate them into the story. I was really hoping to see Akiko, the famous guitarist, to make an appearance, but she didn’t sadly. We got to see more of the story side in the second season, however in this, it’s very similar to the first. A lot of random references that incorporate into the story that just so happens to make a plot. To me, it felt repetitive, the randomness was cool and all, but like I said, I knew how each episode were set up.
Overall, this season seemed to be better than the second but not as much as the first. Maybe we’ll get to see a season 4? I don’t think that this is the end of Miss Monochrome’s journey to idol hood, but who knows what Miss Monochrome will do next?

I was certainly glad to hear that there was a second season coming out for Miss Monochrome. Now that I have watched it, I must say that I am somewhat disappointed.
For those who don’t know the story of Miss Monochrome, Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 is a continuation of the first season, Miss Monochrome: The Animation. Our main character, Miss Monochrome, wants to stand out and become a famous idol. Although she has taken a few steps to become one, she doesn’t know what else to do from there. As a result, she decides to make her first album and go on tour.
The
...
pacing in this anime is somewhat slow as the episodes carry on with its story. With that being said, the story progresses much more. Something that should be noted, before you watch this, is that it builds its suspense off of the first season. If you watch this alone, you might not feel the same suspense as for the people who watched the first one. I advise that you watch the first season before you watch this. The thing that interested me the most about Miss Monochrome was its ridiculous, over-the-top comedy. While Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 pertains some of that over-the-top comedy, it doesn’t hold that same amount as the first season.
Needless to say, the art style of Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 is very reminiscent of the first one. The atmosphere is upbeat, light, and the character designs are unique as always. However, the upbeat atmosphere sort of counteracts with Miss Monochrome’s sense of humor making the anime seem a bit of a mess. There is also a bit of 3D CGI included, but only at the ending theme song like the first season.
Moreover, the characters are the same except that Miss Monochrome has developed a sense of humor and a bit of a selfish personality. For example, she is more sarcastic in this than the first season. Being the android that Miss Monochrome is, she doesn’t know when to use sarcasm properly. While some may find this humorous, others may find this to be off-putting as the same jokes are repetitively used. Speaking of sarcasm, when Yayoi Konno, a new character that wasn’t seen before in the first season, takes what Miss Monochrome says to heart, she creates a larger than life situation which usually results for the worse. Expanding on a few characters I mentioned, some additions include Akiko, a talented guitarists who is conveniently an employee at the store where the main characters work at, Yayoi Konno, Miss Monochrome’s promoter who is a bit of a klutz and overambitious about the work she does, and there’s an idol group called Caramel, but I won’t go into too much detail about them.
Surprisingly, all of the voice actors and actresses have returned except with a few new additions. If you didn’t know, Ruu-chan has gotten a voice actor. Unfortunately, he doesn’t speak as much as I hoped for, but nonetheless, he was still fun to hear. Akiko and Yayoi were also fun to hear, I thought they were a great addition to the show as they seem to create fun moments. For those who wanted an opening in the first season, Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 has added a theme song called Black or White which is about one minute long. Also, the ending theme song is called Step by Step which is about two minutes long and mocapped with a 3D CGI version of Miss Monochrome which is similar to the first season’s ending. Both songs are sung by Miss Monochrome; if you’re a fan of VOCALOID, you might like the way she sounds. To me, the opening and ending theme songs sounded all right, I did not hate it nor did I like it.
Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2 does make references to other shows here and there, incorporating it into the story which indeed make it funnier. It also references jokes back to the first season. However, the only issue I had with this anime was that it didn’t seem to have the same amount of humor like the first season. Some episodes were funnier than the others and other episodes felt stale. Like I said before, it felt like it was more plot driven and climactic.
If you want to get a better understanding of the comedy and story, it is advised to watch the first season. On the other hand, if you want to understand the references they make, note that this is not required to make it more enjoyable but you might want to check out a few other animes such as Initial D, Golden Time, and Wooser no Sono Higurashi. Miss Monochrome: The Animation 2’s humor pertains some of its unexpected funny moments, however, it is not as random as it was in the first season. Unfortunately, the show sets up for a third season. Hopefully, we will see Miss Monochrome become a popular idol. I look forward to watching the third season.

If I had to describe this anime, it would be weird and random, but funny at the same time. I have no idea what I just watched, but I like it! For a 4 minute show, Miss Monochrome will definitely leave you saying, “what just happened” by the end of each episode. If you didn’t know already, Miss Monochrome is a slice of life anime.
Story: (8/10)
The story begins with our main character, Miss Monochrome, aspiring to become a popular idol like Kikuko on T.V. and her caretaker, Mana, asks to be her manager. She becomes her manager and requests 19.3 billion yen as the
...
first thing to do as an idol. Our poor main character, Miss Monochrome, believes her and gives her all her money, leaving her broke, homeless, and stranded out on the streets to search for a new manager. Upon hoping to find one, a person named Maneo, who is surprisingly a manager, appears out of nowhere, but is not the manager you’d expect him to be. Little did you know, he’s actually a manager for a convenience store. Maneo becomes her manager and decides to help Miss Monochrome try to become a popular idol that she had always dreamed about. There’s not that much to say about the story, because the anime is so short, but what makes this so compelling is that you don’t know what to expect. What you just read, was an example of one of them. Majority of the episodes you watch are unexpected and randomly funny and by the end of each episode, it leaves you wondering if you’ll ever see Miss Monochrome become an idol. The only drawback I found within the story is that it perceives to be linear by the way the writer had set it up. You may not think the story leads anywhere, but it all comes together in the end.
Characters: (10/10)
This anime couldn’t be done well without its characters. Our main character, Miss Monochrome, may seem like a vocaloid by appearance, but in actuality, she’s an android. Her inability to feel emotions and take things literally enhances the show’s comedy. Another thing this anime does well is that the characters feel like a comedy routine. Maneo, being the one to find jobs for Miss Monochrome, sets up the joke and Miss Monochrome, the android who can’t differentiate between a joke and a serious answer, is the punchline. Mana, the con artist, sets up the tragedy for the main character and Kikuko, the popular idol, being the main goal. Of course you couldn’t forget about Miss Monochrome’s trusty pet, Ruu-chan, to add character depth towards her. Each character in this anime serves a purpose and executes it well.
Art: (8/10)
The artwork was produced by Liden Films who also made Yamada-Kun and the Seven Witches, Terraformars, and Senyuu. The artwork for this anime wasn’t that bad. The 3D CGI character of Miss Monochrome in the end credits were well done. However, the overall environment and the design for some of the characters looked generic.
Sound: (9/10)
There’s no opening theme for this anime, only an ending. However, only taking up the last minute of the show, it sounds good. I was surprised how well the English dub vocal crew were compared to the Japanese one. The main character for Miss Monochrome sounds very similar to the Japanese vocal actress which I liked very much. The rest of the English dub voice actors seemed to have fit the role just as the Japanese ones as well.
Enjoyment: (8/10)
Since Miss Monochrome is 4 minutes long, I expected it to become another generic anime and something linear, but it seemed to have proved me wrong. This anime made me go on an unexpected feels trip. I never knew something that seemed so upbeat, lighthearted, and innocent be so tragic at the same time. Another thing I liked about this show, was how it referenced some real life people, anime, and merchandise. I mean, who doesn’t like a bit of references right? An anime can throw around a few references, but when it’s done right, it can become a masterpiece. In Miss Monochrome, the references aren’t just some subtle hint hoping to give you a little chuckle, it actually adds toward the story and the comedy which, surprisingly, impressed me.
Overall: (8/10)
Overall, Miss Monochrome is a short, enjoyable, slice of life anime that will make you laugh and feel good after watching it. You can kind of expect what’s going to happen in the end, but the random journeys you go on with Miss Monochrome makes up for it. Miss Monochrome’s stale but optimistic view on becoming an idol has certainly put a smile on my face. This underrated anime deserves a little more attention and I hope you give it a chance too.

Have you ever watched something so ridiculous you couldn’t have enough of it? That’s what this is. Kiss x Sis is so ridiculous, you just can’t stop watching it. This anime is like a box of assorted candy, you don’t know what you’re going to expect. The genre’s for this anime are harem, ecchi, romance, school, and comedy.
Story: (6/10)
The story’s setting is like any other school based anime you watch. You see the typical track field, the school classroom, and the typical festival. The story itself, however, is something you don’t usually see in an anime. The main character, Keita, has to choose between one
...
of his two sisters, Ako and Riko, who aren’t related to him by blood, to marry as he tries to enter the same school as them. Unfortunately, you don’t get to see who he marries in the end, which I was disappointed by, but you do see the female characters try to get the upper advantage over each other to win Keita’s affection which I found to be quite interesting. As you may have expected, Kiss x Sis is sexual in a lot of ways. From using objects as a way to show affection to almost having sex with your sister, if I can say one thing about this, it’s borderline from becoming a hentai. Well of course you couldn’t have an ecchi and harem anime without its clichés. You’ll see many clichés throughout this anime such as nose bleeds, boob grabbing, and panty shots. You’d expect these clichés to be dumb, but for some odd reason Kiss x Sis does it in a funny way in which you will forgive it.
Art: (8/10)
The animation for this anime was produced by a company called Feel. If you haven’t heard or don’t know the animation company, Feel, they’re the ones who produced Mayo Chiki!, Yosuga no Sora, Outbreak Company, and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO. The art style and environment to this anime looks typical. I’m not saying that’s bad, but nothing really stood out to me.
Sound: (8/10)
The opening and ending theme songs sound J-popish, which I don’t really mind, but I didn’t find them to be memorable at all. The same goes for the background music, but it seemed to match each scene, which is fine in my book. The voice actors and actress did a fine job too, I couldn’t really complain.
Characters: (7/10)
What’s an anime without its characters? The characters itself are pretty generic, but have a clear distinction between them. There are some clichéd side characters such as the loli and big breasted female character. For the rest, there’s actually some uniqueness to them. For example, one of the characters is bad at cooking, while the other is not. Using the character’s uniqueness, the writers use the character’s characteristics to make each character seem like the best fit for the main character to date. All the characters certainly elevate our main character by giving his harem role.
Enjoyment: (8/10)
The reason why I gave this an 8 out of 10 is because I felt awkward and uncomfortable at times. There’s this one character, in the show, who is your essential loli. One of the many things I did not like about her is that she’s flashes her panties at Keita, which feels really weird and awkward considering she is in middle school, but hey, I give props to the creator for writing something that we usually don’t see. The thing I like about Kiss x Sis is that it tops the last perverted thing they did. If you’re going to make a harem and ecchi based anime, at least make it outrageous enough for you to like it and kiss x sis exactly does that.
Overall: (7/10)
Overall, I enjoyed this anime, but I felt empty after watching this. It felt like something was missing. I enjoyed the show, but I didn’t feel hooked with the overall storyline. After I finished, I asked myself, “Was that it? Is there any more?” I wasn’t satisfied with the story and I certainly wasn’t satisfied with the ecchi. It felt like it needed more. Kiss x Sis will certainly entertain you with outrageous sexual acts, but it lacks meaningful story that I can’t really connect.
