The amount of ecchi anime I've seen is over 9000! Meme aside am serious when I say that I've seen a TON of ecchi anime. I can usually tell exactly how a skit in an ecchi anime will go because most ecchi anime have the same old tropes and do not innovate much if at all... But does that apply to this anime?
Recently, my sister is unusual. is not like most ecchi anime so the short answer to the above question is no, it does not. While there are a few skits you'll see and be familiar with, Recently, my sister is unusual. focuses on new and innovative ecchi skits. (Innovative in terms of how few anime use these skits if at all) Some skits are what you expect, some are what you expect but then adds its own twist to the tropey skit. Then there are skits you just rarely if ever see. Its hard to f…

I rarely see an anime this bad, supposedly to get into heaven, you have to sexually assault people, be bi-sexual, and only care for self-interest. If that's heaven, I don't want to go.
We see the typically retarded tsundere as the angel's partner in crime, who does stupid stuff, attacks her stepbrother, and when in reality, she would have been clouted back, kicked out, as usual in anime no such thing happens.
Top it off with a clueless idiot like the other main character, who somehow can see an angel to be, is clueless on women, and puts up with all the crap, it shows it is going to be a trash anime.
As you watch further, it continues unsurprisingly as trash, the story is crap, the art is bad, the sound isn't anything special, the characters are poorly developed, as you only really know…

This is a really good anime. Yes. It contains Incest (ish) story and yes, that can trigger you. But it's not a problem of the anime.
Characters
Kanzaki, Mitsuki - Story is building up around this character. Become dull due to family issues.
Kotobuki, Hiyori - Can't say much without spoiling. Cheerful and Energetic one.
Kanzaki, Yuuya - Very similar to Takasu, Ryuuji (from Toradora)
Art and Animation Impressive. No lazy animations. And more than enough details considering the plot. Also voice actors have done an amazing job. Opening and Ending is not anything special. They are okay for the most part.
Overrall
Again , if you aren't 'Hate' the concept of Inest, you will definetly enjoy the anime. It's really worth watching. So I'm giving 8/10 score.

When i started this show i was pleasantly surprised, because my expectations were extremely low. The first few episodes were really lewd, pretty funny, and the "gimmick" seemed like it could provide with some material to craft gags and possibly even *gasp* a story around. To put it simply, ImoCho is a really good terrible show.
Because it's bad, when you measure it objectively. It's just a succession of tropes and vapid unoriginal drama. However, it is a show without pretension. It knows it's terrible, it's not trying to be artsy or anything, it's just how it is. And that's refreshing when you compare it to LN adaptation trash that's just as bad as this but has the gall to try to "pretend" like it's good.
So what makes this bad show entertaining? Well for starters the lewd parts are wel…

Ok, weird anime is weird.
That´s pretty much all I can say about "Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashinda ga".
I mean, look at the plot: A girl is obligated to wear a chastity belt until she can seduce her older brother (of course, not blood related) and send her ghost friend to heaven.
It´s pretty stupid, but I always give a try to stupid looking anime, because they might actually make me laugh. And this anime...made me laugh, at least a bit.
Story: 6
Look, even though there seems to be a story, most of the anime is just fanservice, scenes where it looks like I´m watching a very softcore hentai. There´s almost no development during it´s entirety, which is usual in these kinds of adaptations. Sometimes, I really didn´t know what I was watching, and I felt like rage quiting the epis…

What a terrible piece of crap. Somehow they turned a show that could have been a hilarious, cute, silly show about a "forbidden" relationship into a total joke of a show. This could have just been Oreimo with a supernatural element, and a little more lewdness, and it would've been fine. Instead it felt like the staff didn't know what kind of show they were making, a supernatural-comedy-ecchi-incest-SoL, or a heartfelt-coming of age-incest-SoL. They failed on both accounts. Maybe it was the staffs fault, maybe the source material was already garbage and they didn't have much to work with, or maybe it's Japan's decency law's fault.
The characters are all hot garbage. Mitsuki, the main character, is a total pain in the ass from the moment you meet her. She has a terrible attitude, terrible…

This anime, unlike many other ecchi anime, has a story line that is not difficult to follow. Although, people seem to complain about not knowing the answers to questions, although they are right in front of them. For example, if you would simply watch the ending theme all the way through, you would learn all you need to know about Hiyori's past.
The art was not hard to look at, but some scenes were just a little off in appearance and the way characters bodies were drawn.
The voices were easy to listen to and matched the characters very well. I especially enjoyed the difference in Mitsuki's voice whenever Hiyori possessed her.
The character types are rather common, but that does not make them boring by any means. They are always lively and interesting.
This anime is a great combination…

Art style was great 90% of the time, although Mitsuki's face was a little off on the edges in some scenes.
Story was barely there, as it was an excuse to throw in some more ecchi, although it was the only reason for her actions.
Sounds only get a 5 from me, as her voice was sometimes that generic high pitch. Although her normal talking voice was not. That was good.
Hiyori was probably one of the characters they needed to explore most, but never did. Mitsuki and her brother are pretty generic, but hey! Still nice. They only got a 6 for that reason. Otherwise, most of theme are just fine.
Overall it is a 7. It's not too good, not too bad. I would recommend it to ecchi fans, but remember! It's not borderline hentai, you can't use this as hentai. Don't come into this expecting that. It's a…

I gave Recently, My Sister is Unusual a watch in search of outrageous, original ecchi lulz. In this I was sorely disappointed, not least by the lack of more frequently inventive use of the show's premise to create entertaining and memorable scenes.
That's not to say it was a terrible show. It cut a light-hearted dash among the rest of my queue for this season, which involved a mixture of drama, intensity, violence and plot-twisting, whereas Recently, My Sister is 90% warmly predictable high-school bread and butter, and 10% risqué scenes that range from mild to fantastic, though unfortunately the latter was pretty darn rare. I can see why some liked the characters, but for the amount of time we're spending watching them interacting each episode, I honestly think they could be far better.…

"Little sisters are difficult." - Kanzaki Yuuya.
Couldn't agree more with that.
Story : 8
Kanzaki Mitsuki is our female heroine; she's shy and cute. Her mom and Kanzaki Yuuya's father re-married. Having both their parents re-marry is obviously an awkward situation. Not to mention they're forced to live in one roof now, by themselves at that. 'Course they'd look strangers in both of their eyes. Saikin's plot is kinda original for me; it's refreshing. But the re-marrying stuff is kinda overused already. Beware on the ecchiness it contains. It does have censoring, though. Black random things devouring half of your screen, moving keyholes within Mitzuki's body. Be warned: DO NOT WATCH IT IN PUBLIC(I needed to caps it). Back on the plot; Mitzuki discovers a lost soul bound to Earth because o…

First off, this anime is more sexual than most I've seen (though it's not as bad as something that's just porn). If you don't like that at all, then this is not for you. I did, however, laugh during this anime. I even felt sad during one episode. Well it's not the kind of show that you can really recomend to anyone, I'm glad that I watched it. My 7's are probably most people's 5's or 6's, so keep that in mind while looking at my score. It's not a bad show, it just doesn't jump out as spectacularly good.

First of lets say if there is not gonna be a second season the score wont be as high. This review doesn't have any spoilers.
overall I think this story is very good, but there are some problems I have with this show. 1) they've never showed the back story or the memories of hiyori. 2) didn't have a proper conclusion to any of yuuya's relationships with any characters.
The art of this show is really good it reminds me of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai.
the sound also amazing!!! I really love the most of the songs: the opening, the ending, and some song they use during the show!!! the voice acting is as good as the sound; they suit the characters.
the character are lovable and rememberable (if that's even a word :P) and attachable, as they would make u feel happy, sad, or angry.
All of th…

Okay, plain and simple this show is bad, i myself have no clue why i stuck through the entire thing. I think i was waiting for something good to happen ;) but nope nothing. The Art is one of the worst I've seen, it looks like a "I made it in 5 minutes" type of art and it also seemed like the least amount of effort was put into the MC herself. The story is utterly pathetic, there is no real story and i feel that the main character should not have been the little sister. Imagine if "My little sister can't be this cute" was made through Kirino's (BASED KIRINO) eye's, wouldn't have been to appealing now would it. I assume that the story was supposed to funny at some points but the jokes weren't funny.
In terms of character development some may argue that MIsuki (the MC) under went some charac…

Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga, a typical, shitty romcom with the usual 'shy girl'. What to expect from this? Nothing, but pure fanservice and a shitty storyline. (Also, a horny ghost)
Story: 1/10
Story, yes there is a story, but it was horribly told. They focused more on the fanservice part, rather than the story. It was just about a shy girl (Mistuki) who was forced to love his step-brother(Yuuya) by a ghost (Hiyori). To sum it all up, Mitsuki just needs to fill out the chastity belt in order for the ghost to pass on. Yes, that's all there is to the story.
Art: 6/10
The background was alright(Didn't really matter to me). The character designs were actually good, especially with the tsundere expressions of Hiyori.
Sound: 7/10
Sounds were good, especially with the OP…

I just finished the current season of Saikin, (Recently, My Little Sister is Unusual) *THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
Here's my review
A romance comedy, a girl named Mitsuki Kanzaki lives with her step-brother Yuuya after her mother remarries. One day, Mitsuki (Yes she looks like Ruri! But I wish she had her personality) is possessed by the self-proclaimed spirit of a young girl, Hiyori Kotobuki. Hiyori (in Mitsuki's body) must fall in love with Yuuya to move toward the "Gates of Heaven" or rather, Hiyori is hoping to have relations with yuuya through Satsukis body. Attached to Hiyoris spirit possessing her, is a chastity belt, that has a gauge that feels up every time Hiyori is more and more satisfied emotionally or something, which is always on Mitsukis body instead of normal underwear and f…

Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga comes in a season without any blow-me-away hypetrain anime to compete with, an as such many people may be considering whether to give it a go while they wait for the blockbuster mega-hype that is the spring 2014 season. Don't do it.
Story:
The premise is neither particularly good nor particularly awful compared to other pieces in the ecchi genre; our dense protagonist gets a new sister, who is then possessed by a girl who claims to have known Yuuya before she passed away, and who is in love with him. If this leaves you at all curious, feel free to watch the pilot and judge it for yourself.
What is particularly bad though, is the execution. Many anime have that one 'dissapointing' episode. you know the one. You're having fun, having a bit…

Before I get to the structured part of this review, there is one major gripe about this anime I have to get off my chest. It is best captured by a classic line from Shakespeare, namely "This above all, to thine own self be true."
That may sound a bit dramatic when reviewing an anime with a strong ecchi element, but that is exactly the point: this show did not *need* to be an echhi. Nor did it need the "imouto" element, since the writer did not seem to be all that interested in wiriting about a brother-sister relationship. (In fact, the only real brother and sister characters in this show constantly bitch about each other. Which is okay, but seems more like the kind of thing you'd expect in a show that makes fun of the imouto genre). The writer simply should have told the story she wanted…

Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga (or the shorter English title "Recently, My Sister is Unusual") follows the story of a young girl and an older boy who become step-siblings due to their parents marrying each other. The setup is pretty standard, but the catch is that the younger stepsister gets possessed by a ghost who's in love with the older brother, is forced to make moves on the brother to send her new poltergeist companion to the next life, and ends up falling in love with him in the process. Mysterious missing parents and ecchi, incesty hijinks involving a chastity belt then ensue.
The thing about this series is that it does not break any new ground whatsoever. The premise has potential, but the series never builds upon it, instead relying on tired tropes: dense/stupid…

Incest is a very interesting genre in the world of anime. For some reason, the japanese love the idea of forbidden love in their animations, attempting to twist the idea so they can still have said forbidden love so it abides by the law, kind of, with well-known titles like "Oreimo" and "Onii-chan Dakedo" taking the spot as the more well-known incest related animes. Today I will be talking about one of the more recent introductions to the incest genre, Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga, or, Recently, my little sister is unusual. Let's begin.
Story (6.45/10): The story of Saikin follows the story of Mitsuki, a 15 year old girl, who gains a stepfather and a stepbrother named Yuuta as a result of her mom marrying another man. It is from this point where Mitsuki hates her new li…

"Recently, My Younger Sister Is a Little Strange" is what you get when people try too hard to make an ecchi show. First of all, why would you even make a show revolving around a high school girl wearing a chastity belt if the chastity belt has to be blatantly censored almost every time?
This is one of those shows that you know is going to be horrible right from the premise. An extremely generic and oblivious guy, Yuuya, gets a new sister, Mitsuki, after his father remarries. Mitsuki soon runs into a ghost, Hiyori, who has amnesia and can only remember that she loves Yuuya. In order for Hiyori to go to heaven, she has to get Mitsuki and Yuuya to fall in love (or at least have Mitsuki get turned on by him enough times to fill up the "special" meter in the chastity belt). I have no idea what…
