Gimai Seikatsu - A romance anime which is different from another romance anime But why is it so? That's what I am gonna tell you.

This series is about the relationship between a boy and a girl who become step-siblings because their parents decide to marry each other. Pretty normal, isn't? The thing is that the word ' stepsister ' is enough for people to get a wrong idea, but this anime tries it best to divert the minds of people from that idea and think about the whole relationship between step-siblings once more with deep thoughts.
The anime is pretty slow-paced but if you think about ... it, it seems logical as the kind of relationship they wanna show is something that may become weird and gross in a split second if not handled properly. As for the animation, it isn't as good as I expected it to be or maybe you can say that it is pretty average but the creative handling of it is something that is appreciable. The way the past is shown like a footage tape is really good to watch.
Now the most important question which I mentioned in the starting : How is it different from other romance anime ?
Gimai Seikatsu starts with a very serious tone and a serious quote and this was enough to make it stand out from others. The sries is slow paced to make it feel as natural as possible and raises some thought provoking questions as to what is right and what is wrong. It doesn't rely on the cute expressions and blushing moments like other anime, rather it explores the relationship of the recently established step-siblings.
This is enough for it to be different from others.
I think this is more than enough to create an image of the anime, see the rest for yourselves.
Thank you for reading!
