As a little sister with an older brother, I was totally against this series the moment I heard about it. Incest in general is just all sorts of wrong, wrong, WRONG. Plus, everything about this anime just screams "hentai doujinshi fodder".

Putting that aside, I gave this series a chance because I was attracted by the beautiful animation and cute character designs and I was actually pleasantly surprised.

Although there are some questionable camera shots of Kirino from Kyosuke's point of view (for the fanboys, I suppose), their overall relationship remains sibling-like and both characters are thoroughly put off by anything more than that. I'm not ... sure how this will develop in later episodes/chapters but so far it hasn't really set off any "creepy/gross!" alarms.

What I enjoyed most (besides beautiful animation) is the humor. I chuckled at several scenes (I really enjoyed Kyosuke's "Kick her off the bed!" selection in the eroge game, mostly because that's what any REAL big brother would choose).

Anyway, I can't say this is an anime for everyone, cause there really are some truly crazy creepy people out there that would read way into Kyosuke and Kirino's relationship...I would advise those people to stay away (please). Otherwise, it's a heartwarming story about a big brother protecting/supporting his little sis (and who doesn't just find that adorable, even in real life?).

When I first saw the manga art for this series, I was very very turned off. It seemed very amateur at best. Although the monster images are very detailed and gorgeous, the mangaka doesn't appear to have his human anatomy drawing skills quite down...

But then one day, just cause I was bored, I picked it up and started reading. And WOW, it's addicting. I couldn't stop. And the art, as with every other mangaka, gets better.

I'm not a typical shonen dectective type manga lover either...actually the hate the "monster of the week" type anime and manga, but I found this one to be really good.

Definitely ... give it a shot. I read this and then found myself watching the anime, which is decent, but doesn't compare to the manga.
