"Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne" (Anime) Episode 1-2 Thoughts

Onii-chan Dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne (Holy crap that's a mouth full) is going to be that anime for this season. What do I mean by that anime? By golly its going to be our no nonsense, no plot, harem anime! -____- This is the impression the show gave me after just two episodes of watching. The anime starts off by showcasing Akiko moving in to her dorm which is now occupied by her dear brother that she loves a little too much. She most definitely has a brother complex because even though she is aware of the taboo of siblings falling in love, she pursues it to a scary level. Lucky our male lead Akito is not interested at all because if he was, I would of stopped watching the show after ten minutes. The other characters introduced so far unfortunately do not give the show its saving grace. Anastasia (who is my favorite so far from this bland cast -__-) is the typical tsundere that is very mischievous. The back and forth between her and Akito is actually somewhat entertaining to watch. Arashi is the character I despise the most at the moment because all she is showing to be is the lazy but most sexual character of the bunch. I really don't care for her at all; she brings nothing interesting to the table. Lastly we have Haruomi who at first looks like the goody goody who is the cook and caring one of the bunch. A scene in the second episode shows that she can have her buttons pushed but it seems that she and Akito have a past history.

The first and second episodes show that these four somehow make up the student council at the school...when was this established? Would of been nice to see them get appointed or something...it literally is presented as, "Oh look first day of school. OH look we are the student council here." Another thing is that the show hasn't introduced any other minor characters yet...we see the school populated by other students but they just seem like static fill ins which is very disappointing. We also have had it pointed out that all three female leads have a love interest in Akrito (OH BOY WHAT A SHOCKER).

All I can tell you is that this is going to be another generic harem anime that while looks impressive (animation), will be nothing more than a softcore anime. Lets look at the bright side though...hopefully its better than Mashiro-Iro Symphony and Campione...right? God I hope so...
