i can't lie i had quite the fun watching Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!.
Main Characters where pretty well designed and thought through (as much as that is possible in 12 episodes).
I didn't cringe a single time either, which is rare in my eyes, especially in the romance section.
All in all, this was a very nice experience, almost rewatchable.
This is one of the few Animas where i personally wish there was at least another season, i find my self wanting to know who MC will chose as his bride. This level of investment is rather rare on my end. So you can imagine how much enjoyment i had watching.
That being said, i can't give this a 10/10, the emphasis on "who is my sister" is being pushed wayyy to much.
I mean i understand that's the name of "the game" here, but this could have do…

"NAKAIMO - My Little Sister Is Among Them!" is an imouto harem about a boy Shougo who is supposedly an only child.
But after his father's death he is mysteriously contacted by someone who claims to be his little sister.
At his new school Shougo is approached by cute girls, any one of which could be his sister. So he must try to control his desires and fight off temptation lest he ends up in a forbidden relationship with his brocon little sister.
Its an entertaining anime (if you're into brocon/siscon).
Alot of harems tend to have very dull girls but not here. The girls are written to be very entertaining. A bad tsundere can make or break a good harem but thankfully here the tsundere is done well too. So all the characters are likeable.
They also show tits 👍
There is even a reverse-t…

Recommendation: Harem garbage mixed with one of the worst mysteries you'll ever see. Don't waste your time. Some spoilers below.
Story: High school student Shogou is being set up as the heir to his father's company, but is given the instructions that he must find a wife by the end of the year to inherit it. Complicating this is the fact that he has a mysterious little sister who is attempting to be the woman he marries, so he tries to find out who the sister is before deciding on a wife because marrying his blood relative would create a scandal for the company. If this sounds like the setup for an unusually plot-heavy porn video, I can assure you that it's not written much better than one and has almost as many bare breasts. Though I won't spoil who, you do eventually get an answer to the…

Nakaimo is basically as average as you can get. So average in fact, I forgot everything about it, including having already seen it, and watched it again. I had this marked as completed on MAL for who-knows-how-long, but could recall literally nothing about it, including the answer to the titular question, “who’s the MC’s little sister?”
This is a PLOT heavy show that is heavy on actual plot. The premise is that the main character’s father has passed away, and he’s soon to become the head honcho at his dad’s company, so he’s going to attend a new, elite school, where he’ll become a refined, adult, and find a wife… but, the catch is that his little sister, the illegitimate child of his father, also goes to the school; so, he’s gotta find a wife, and not ALSO bang his sister by accident in t…

The ecchi scenes were marvellous, they were very erotic and some of them were coated with a touch of romanticism that made this anime stand out from the rest. Unfortunately all this build up gets thrown out of the window by the stereotypical "friend" or "event" that ruins the mood, nevertheless still a very enjoyable show.
The girls were really pretty and hot, I wish more anime studios weren't afraid of showing nudity as ten years ago... good old days.
Nakaimo gives you a good ending, no the best but still a good one, in my opinion you wont be disappointed considering how the plot developed and how things turned out I think that ending was the most adequate one.
Nakiamo delivers what it promises, a little sister anime with great ecchi moments. I had a great time watching it and if you…

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! (2012)
This show started off fairly well but quickly takes a steep decline especially with how obvious the story components are and how clueless characters are made to be and has an ending that doesn't have any real resolution to anything just we know who the sister is but it is easily figured out many episodes beforehand.
Grinding my gears a bit is Ikusu Mizutani is so obviously drawn female that to have everyone be so oblivious would make it seem like she is unattractive yet fawned over by so many.
Some plot devices are a bit stupid like for example in episode 5 the associated issues would be resolved by using silent on the phone and thus the episode would be basically ruined but sorted.
A big positive to look forward to in episode 6 with the Ne…

// CREWMATE // THERE IS 1 IMPOSTOR AMONG US - would be the 2. best title for the anime. # SPOOOOOOOOOOOILEEEEEEEEERS
So, its a Harem, Ecchi, fanservice, kinda detective, and amnesia anime..
The story involves around the young student Shougo Mikadono who's father passed away, basically he needs to find a wife, he said to be an only child, but sudenly he's notified that he has a half sister form an other woman. And we know what that means? Try to figure out from a couple of grills who's your blood relative, while every fn last one of them teases you with brother stuff. Yeah, that. Anyway, you can get the general idea who the sister is around the 9th part, and it is revealed.
There are a couple important characters, beware, spolers, again.

This anime is one of the worse harem anime I've seen in my life. Stuff like Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou is at least funny to laugh at... THIS anime went from "OK this is kinda decent a little cliche but hey odd premise." to- "This anime is straight up homophobic and brain dead." within 3 episodes. Doesn't help the "trap" character (Ikusu) is one of the most useless characters next to Tendou and Mei who I questioned their existence 24/7.
here is an example from episode 3: https://twitter.com/sithgem/status/1259303671331946498?s=20
I watched this with 2 other friends and dear lord- all three of us were begging for it to end by episode 7.
The story is convoluted/overstuffed, forced, awful both morally and visually, and terribly paced.
I can't believe voice actors talented like Taka…

This anime has probably been one of the strangest shows I have ever watched. I am aware of unpleasant stigma surrounding "imouto shows" and yet I found NAKAIMO to be a genuinely nice show. Regarding all the tags the show is labeled with: Comedy is only from interactions with the harem, Ecchi a very appropriate tag considering the bizarre abundance of nudity and fanservice, Harem is well self-explanatory but there are only really 3 girls so rest assured, Mystery is probably the most relevant tag since there is actually a decent amount of intrigue that is built up, Romance is honestly not really developed like in most harem anime, School is self-explanatory around 98% of the story takes place in the same city. NAKAIMO isn't a typical imouto show, it subverts those tropes rather well but fall…

It's bad. I don't normally just say that first but this one warrants it.
Bad being subjective, let me follow up with the objective good. It has a proper ending. If you were into the show, and cared, it resolves the main plot issue of the anime. The others that it hasn't really touched upon yest are left open for further development. Unfortunately I seriously didn't care so YMMV.
The series big problems ?
It's a comedy that didn't make me laugh, NOT ONCE!!!!! . It did manage to put me to sleep so it may have some value there. There were opportunities but they weren't well used. I did watch it dubbed so maybe the humor was thee in the original Japanese and didn't make it over.
It's a romance ? Nah not really. I certainly didn't feel it. Maybe it was the whole setup of having the main cha…

My sister is among them! As undoubtedly noted in synopsis, this follows a young lad slated to helm his father's company. To that end, he's transferred to a prestigious school with the goal of choosing a wife. To add a plot twist, he gets a mysterious caller who names herself his sister--and in that culture, marrying your sister is a terrible scandal!
That's most of the story. Most of bits remaining consists of Shougo's getting along (or not) with the various girls. This is a harem story and ecchi genre, so panty shots and other lewd stuff happens. The aforementioned mystery begins appearing in episode 9, but if you've read any detective or mystery stuff, you'll probably be able to guess some of it.
Overall, the story was meh. I don't mind some suspense, but had to force myself to sit thr…

If she looks like an imouto, sounds like an imouto and acts like an imouto, then she probably is an imouto.
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! also known as NakaImo or My Sister Is Among Them! So it is supposed to be mystery anime in which main character, Shougo Mikadono, is looking for his future wife, but among those girls there is also his mystery sister. OMG what a twist!
This guy doesn’t think incest is wincest, so he wants to find out who is imouto and avoid choosing her accidentally (imouto for some twisted reasons wants to be chosen though… she is one of those incest-imoutos like Kirino Kousaka from Oreimo or Akiko Himenokoji from OniAi, if that's your thing this anime is must-see I guess).
There may be some spoilers ahead. But I think I don’t even need to tell you who is imo…

Totally underrated.
The cover art, the synopsis as well as the overall ratings it was given on this website (which I personally do not agree with) might give hints that it'll be your standard cliche harem anime. I suspected as such at the beginning.
Don't judge a book by it's cover. I can't say that it's completely original but it's definitely above that your cliche harem anime. Interesting plot development, mystery and plot twist. Introducing new characters into the story is smooth, not just appearing out of nowhere and 'we have a new transfer student today' kind of thing.
It's not repetitive in how the MC approaches and deals with each character. AND most importantly, the MC is not a blockhead, he actually can use his brain for something for once.
The only drawback for me was the fa…

I'm writing this as someone who watches anime pretty exclusively to find brother/sister incest stories. I hadn't heard much about this one so I put it off for a long time, but I'm glad I finally got around to it. Although there are some stupid moments I could've done without (people pretending to be the main character's sister for no apparent reason), overall I enjoyed the show. I spoiled myself to figure out who the real sister was from the beginning so I could have more enjoyment from the start of the show (since I'm 100% not interested in the non-incest pairings), but your mileage may vary. For me though I was satisfied with the level of interactions the real sister has with her brother, and although the ending isn't totally satisfying, it's not as annoying as some.
The show suffers in…

***This is a somewhat spoiler free review. I tried my best to word things w/o spoiling anything.***
Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru! is an anime that while the initial premise really pulled me in, its inability to provide thought provoking plot twists and just a sheer amount of unnecessary content really dragged it down.
Story: 3/10
So like I stated above this show actually had a pretty interesting concept. The show revolves around Shougo who is to become the head of his deceased father’s company. In order to do so however he must complete a guideline set forth by his father. This guideline demands that Shougo must attend a certain high school, attract a mate, and marry before taking his spot as the head of the company (what an awesome dad). I didn't have a problem with this premise…

Kono Naka takes a unique approach to the problem of maintaining dramatic tension in a comedy harem anime. Most series write some kind of socially debilitating trait into either the protagonist or the girls to prevent them from resolving situations in a sane way and allowing for the escalation of increasingly improbable hijinks.
In contrast to this, in Kono Naka has comparatively sane and level characters on both sides. Instead, they build the tension through the mechanism hinted at in the story's title: one of the girls in the harem is secretly the protagonist's sister (and he knows it). Since the protagonist has to get married before graduation he's under immense pressure to find a girl he likes (and there are plenty interested in him). Over the course of the series, these two forces pus…

The premise of this show actually sounded pretty interesting. It was suggested to me by someone on reddit, and I thought y'know...why not? The idea here is that it's a typical harem setup...with a funny twist!
Story - 2 (Dreadful)
Kumagoro Mikadono, the owner of a company with his namesake(Mikadono Group), ends up dying and leaving it all to his supposed heir, the main character Shougo. However, he placed one stipulation here before the company truly gets handed over to him. He has to get married and have a wife first. This is where your typical harem type comedy comes into play. He transfers to a new school, and obviously with a last name Mikadono, the same as the company, women are throwing themselves at him left and right for various reasons. So getting women couldn't be easier! Excep…

Hey folks this will be my review for Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru. There are plenty of words to try and accurately describe how terrible this anime is, however you may feel like I'm over exaggerating. Simply put, think of a deep exasperating sigh and the feel of dragging frustration and boredom, and you will have the feeling of watching this anime.
The story starts off poorly but at least alright enough to watch. Our male MC Mikadono, Shougo is attending his fathers funeral when through the wall a female voice comes and tells him that she is his sister. His mother arrives and tells him that to inherit the company he also needs to find a woman who he truly loves and marries her. This leads to the troubling mystery premise of our show. Shougo must attempt to find a wife at his school…

I can say without a doubt that this is the worst anime I've ever seen. I have to wonder, why did I decide to watch Nakaimo in the first place? I guess because the premise seemed interesting. Sadly, it turned out to be a total waste of time.
Story:
The premise of Nakaimo is pretty simple: a standard harem with one twist. Unlike something like Oreimo (where the protagonist knows who his sister is and is fine with dating her), the protagonist of this show didn't even know he had a sister (because of some poorly explained head trauma), and is doing everything he can to not end up with her, even though the sister makes it clear that she plans on marrying him. I guess the appeal of this premise is the mystery behind who the sister is, but with one look at the poster, I guessed who it was perfec…
