I love this because I'm trying to write light novels in Japanese myself and can relate to the genre and main character. I think it's so cool that at a young age he was able to write novels, his sister draw illustrations, and meet strict deadlines.
Also the fact that they lived under the same roof but didn't know that they were working together is really funny and creative.

There have been a lot of negative reviews on this, but they were probably all written by people who have no appreciation for this sort of humor and how hard it is to write light novels, overcoming ... hikikomori tendencies, and deep appreciation of the otaku culture. (really boring people tbh)

First off--this was written by the same person (tsukasa fushimi )who made Ore no imouto ga konna ni kawaii wake ga nai...so you have to understand the genre to appreciate it, living with a sister who likes ero stuff, and having an awkward relationship.The brother in this is more similar-minded (likes otaku culture from the start) and the sister is shy but still has tsundere attributes.

A lot of people complained that a 12 year old was joking about chinchin and probably most people who reviewed this dropped it at the 2nd episode...
Even 5 year olds will say the word chinchin to joke around in Japan, so what if the author made a 12 year old say that she likes chinchin. It's nothing to get offended about. I've personally met 12 year olds that were doing it when I was in middle school...and it's true for Japan too.. I'm sure it was just a joke though.
There are similar jokes in ore no imouto as well (maybe slightly different but indeed shimoneta (sexual joke)
It fits with the genre, the characters are working on ero stuff...it wouldn't make sense for them to all be boring and never use shimoneta.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes awkward but funny situations, young brilliant people (I think they are pretty amazing to get famous at their age),likes hikikomori, wants to understand Japanese shimoneta more or otaku culture.wants to see some more slice of life elements than say a fighting anime or something in a fantasy world.
I wouldn't recommend this to those who watch anime very casually or do not get a kick out of this kind of genre/dislikes shimoneta. I especially wouldn't recommend this to children because of the type of jokes and ero-based story.

Pure comedy and a smooth flow from start to end. I felt like this was a well made ova movie. The art was really good for 80's standards, loved the music,fighting scenes, and characters.
The story is kind of interesting and kept me on the edge of my chair.
It's really corny though, so if you are a really serious type of person then maybe this isn't for you.
However, if you enjoy a good laugh then give this a shot. I didn't think I would laugh this hard while watching it honestly. I would give it a 10/10 score just based on how much laughter ... I got out of this, but I still wanted more after the movie. I wish they made this into an anime series or had a lot of movies. I want to say that this anime ova movie is pretty unique overall and worth a watch.
And I'm sure you will feel for the girl in this...feel her embarrassment and want to be on her side.
Even though I personally cheered for the "evil" protagonist...speaking of which, it's really interesting how they portrayed him. I rarely come across a character like that. The other reviewers mentioned GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) and I agree that this character is also like the protagonist from that, but this one is even more of a troll. Maybe if Onizuka had super powers he would troll more, but anyhow, just check it out. ^^
