This season of anime was one to look forward to, with popular series like Umaru and Gintama gaining new additions to their story. However there were a couple of new additions that have stood out as well (namely Blend S and Mahoutsukai no Yome). That being said Imouto sae ireba is my pick of this season. The reason simply being because its good at its genre. Compared to Blend S forgetting about the settings of their MC (I can only assume it has something to do with wanting the audience to actually like her) and Mahoutsukai no yome merely touching upon dependence rather than love, ...

Y'know, the realization of writing reviews on this site for four years comes with some vague existentialism of wondering if anyone actually reads the things that I write, or if I've actually improved cause these things are just sort of self-proofread without my outside opinion. Bah, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just get into this thing.

Story:

First off, ignore the first five minutes. As a writer, Hashima Itsuki is peculiar. After getting an earful from his editor for the umpteenth time, he goes off on his usual schpeel about the greatness that is the 'imouto', before being promptly told to take ...

First and foremost, people need to stop judging this anime without actually watching it. So many of the reviews I see here are completely inaccurate, and it's pissing me off. Please? Actually watch the anime? Thank you?

Now, getting into the meat of my review; this anime is not your run of the mill generic imouto anime. I actually can't stand that genre, and always drop it. In fact, I have refused to even touch Oreimo. HOWEVER, this has almost no focus on little sisters at all plot wise. The main character himself is obsessed with little sisters, but spoilers, doesn't actually obsess over a real ...

Do you like little sisters? Good, because our protagonist Itsuki loves them probably more than you do. I give this anime an overall score of 6, but that does not mean I think it is distasteful. In fact I think that some people will give this anime a 8 or 9, maybe even a 10. This review is a spoiler-free review by the way, but it would not hurt for people who have watched this anime already to read this review too.

Story:

I acknowledge how the story may seem non linear at times, but I assure you that this anime actually has an excellent narrative. ...

but believe me when i say the story take on different direction of what typical anime LN takes .. as this anime
unravel reality on these LN writer. such as tax evasion (i love the tax baba she cute). or how the editor somehow lock the
author to force them to write.

the seggs related joke are many but well at this point, only veteran would watch this..
the character is well writen. the plot is well directed. not too good and not too bad.

Many people will probably dismiss Imouto sae Ireba Ii. as another Eromanga-Sensei, or straightly drop the show after seeing the first minutes of Episode 1. People can’t blame them since the first episode was a giant normie filter.

Nevertheless, you shouldn’t judge it based on just the first impression.

If you’re someone who’s new to watching anime, or someone who’s not comfortable watching 'unconventional' scenes, then this anime will probably throw you off. There’s a huge amount of sexual comments even in the first episode. The show doesn’t hold back when it comes to fan service. It’s a giant normie barrier.

Your normie friend will go ...

If this anime didn’t have the slightest mention of sisters, it would be a pretty solid anime. It was actually pretty enjoyable and quite nice when the main character wasn’t talking about his dark twisted fantasies. How is the MC not in jail? Like, this anime had some SERIOUS potential considering it had a semi decent story and message, but it was completely ruined by fan service that was uncalled for. The FBI could be at my very door step… wait… I GOTTA RUN ITS ALL THIS SHOWS FAULT!!!! DON’T WATCH!!!

Seeing the MC suffer was a highlight

Lets see here, what is the most memorable feelings i have after watching 11 episodes...

0) The reason i started watching its because the art is GREAT! sadly, that's about it.

1) Imouto is just thrown in there to bait people, the story is nothing at all about little sisters.

2) Most of the story is spent trying to show the things that a writer supposedly does to get inspiration, which turns out to be pretty boring to be honest. getting in an airplane and traveling to different places in a day like nothing seems unbelievable.

3) by episode 6, i still wasn't sure what the anime ...

The show had potential with some of the deeper content but it felt like panning through mud for gold and only coming up with a few specs that aren't even worth anything. The characters are not good. Most of them are creepy or downright criminal, with several of them being guilty of SA, which just gets brushed off as if it's normal to strip strangers clothes off on the street because you want to see their naked body, or downright R-ping other characters to get them to agree with you. These examples sound extreme but they are things that actually happened in the show. There ...

I wanna have sex with my sister.........Right..................in your dreams , Itsuki, so another harem with a mangaka author in the helm has ended which pretty much has a similarity from "Eromanga sensei" so, my thoughts on this:

Mediocre 5, story:

Pretty much the same setting and plot, except what we see here was more like a relationship of a group of authors as they discuss things relating to their works and things that occur in everyday life, like deadlines, games, taxes, slump and nosing at some else's life. And there is that, main guy who has this fetish of having a sister, or wanting to be ...

in the 1st episode. you 'll got some weird scene in first minute. but i think its not the reason for somebody go jump here and give its low rate ?

Most, not all, that give this show a low rating are people that haven't watched more than 1 minute of the first episode. The first two minutes are COMPLETELY different from the rest of the show and is only there for comedic effect (something it overdoes actually.)

This show is definitely brilliant if you give it a chance, that being said it's not for every anime watcher. For a nice comedic and a little bit of a slice of life anime I highly recommend this.

Do note that some of the humour is aimed at an older audience and some humour might be too sexual for younger ...

At first, going into this anime, the first impression gave you of it is simple and filled with fanservice. However, it ends only there; it will just be another one of those all so famous Imouto anime you see nowadays. However, that's quite the false alarm, because, for me, I was pleasantly surprised to find out what this anime is actually like.

It's nothing like what you might think at first glance; it's a lot more and to put it easy, its delightful, quirky romance with a dash of a slice of life added in the mix. I won't deny you will see fanservice now ...

Okay got to lay out some speculations-

Dropping the first episode is a mistake actually, i know the first impression was totally offbrand or i don't know.
I recommend that do not drop it because the Story and Comedy is good ( put some romance as well )

So some of my words here have spoilers ( not that big deal )

In the first episode was off, i know some of you knows, because it shocked me as well but getting through that is exciting and entertained me by what this anime showed, it is not a generic INCEST or some sh*t, i promise this anime is worth ...

Think about it, how hard being a novelist or mangaka? Just because people like watching anime, or reading manga or novel they can know how the writer feel.
- Story -
I like the story, it seems to be comedy, romance but somehow it shows appeal of each character. For each character, they have problem that show in certain episode, and it show how each character solved their problem.
- Character -
Itsuki, has serious side that show him how he loves little sister. This character show their other side in story. Kani, she fall in love with itsuki because itsuki help solving her problem in past. ...

Now, I'm going to be quite simple here. I'm seeing that a lot of people dropped this anime early on/gave it a fairly low score. Please, DO NOT drop this anime. The first 6 episodes were essentially just memes, dick jokes and character introductions/getting us used to the dynamic of the characters. However, episode 8 brought a fairly interesting turn. I noticed early on, that the Romance in this Anime was kinda lacking. But, episode 8 changed that. After seeing episode 8, I can confirm that there is still hope left, and that this could potentially end pretty well. I won't spoil anything, but if ...

This wasn't orignally something that I've planned to watch in the beginning, having read the other comments beforehand. However one day, as I stumbled across it, I found that this anime is actually better than what most of us redeems it to be.

Just to clarify, I only watched the anime, so this review is written with regards to the current episodes alone (5 ep up to now) without any insights from the original novel.

Imouto sae Ireba Ii, an anime about a novelist and his friends, started off like any other daily-life animes. Compared to the others, one may think that the story is lacking in ...

ImoSae was just as if not shittier than Eromanga.
The only reason I didn't drop it was because I always pick a show every season and watch it precisely because it's terrible to make me feel thankful for the existence of actual good shows.( Previous season it was "in another world with my smartphone". God damn it was bad lol ).

The show tried to force kanikou down my throat and into my heart and it failed miserably.
They went for the trope of the girl who's very "lewd" and always aggressively coming onto the MC but blushes and shuts down when he "unintentionally" comes onto her. ...

The award for the most misleading title goes to…!
Probably not A Sister’s All You Need but it’s a pretty damn misleading name.

It’s definitely caused a bit of confusion for people deciding whether to watch it or avoid it like the plague, so before I start the review I feel like it’s necessary to say what this show is and what it isn’t.

This show isn’t...
-A little sister romance.
-A rip off of Eromanga-sensei.
-Ecchi, but there are few over-the-top lengthy fanservice scenes.
-A kids' show, despite how the characters appear.
