This is one of my favorite short episode comedy series and that mainly comes down to the easygoing, slice of life vibes and the likable core cast. The humorously violent dynamic between dumbass Shi Fen and his violent younger sister Shi Miao is fun from the start but gains additional layers when a love triangle evolves between her, Shi Fen's even dumber (and oblivious) best friend Kai Xin, and the also dumb rich transfer student masquerading as a "poor" person, Wan Sui. Expect a lot of comedic misunderstandings, general foolishness, sister-on-brother beatdowns, sweaty attempts at hiding one's wealth, and some occasional earnest displays of heart.
Across all seasons of this web manhua adaptation (which I believe is still ongoing as of the writing of this review, though mostly un-translated…

It's a very simple anime. Since each episode has 3 minutes, it's quick to watch and even better to pass time, it has lots of funny parts so there's no reason to not enjoy a show like this.
The characters are unique and they are written quite well, especially since it's a comedy. Every interaction is funny and the development over the episodes only adds to it.
The art style it's cute and has exaggerated reactions, which also helps with the funny parts.
Overall, it's not the most amazing comedy anime ever, but it's also not the worst. It doesn't have much to it, but everything that proposes it's done nicely and it's a good show if you just want to watch anything funny.

Easy to binge, each three minute episode is comedy filled.
Siblings being siblings, with the younger sister being more violent than most are. The opening is made up of fading, weirdly paced scenes from the episodes, so the opening is skippable and short. It's music isn't really a redeeming factor either.
The art style fits the short, quick paced tone of the episodes, the characters are well done for such a show, and it's not painful to watch!
I watched this in the japanese dub, and the voice acting was great.
Overall, there isn't much to say about this show, it's just hilarious and easy to watch, especially during office breaks.

Coming out of the pencil of the twins You.Ling, 快把我哥带走 or Take my brother away is the animated adaptation (with different entities involved) of a famous ongoing and hilarious web manhua that greatly reproduces the structure of what in Japan is the 4-koma, 4 funny panels that end with a joke.
Our twins, do not use four panels but a few more to tell the story of Shi Fen (時分) and Shi Miao (時秒), brother and sister extremely different.
Generally, the adaptations from the 4-koma are complex to be managed especially if they go to base themselves on fast jokes. Luckily for this short anime (just under four minutes per episode, including the intro and outro), we have Rarecho (ラレコ) charismatic director behind the iconic Aggretsuko.
His direction is brilliant and fast, does not let breath and makes…

It was so funny, I was giggling throughout the whole thing and I'm so happy there's other seasons.
The anime is really entertaining, and it makes me wish I could also have the same obnoxious sibling relationship... There are no boring parts in my opinion, and some shows being "boring" is a big reason as to why people dislike some series, so there's none of those here lol.
The art is really cute in my opinion, it doesn't really give off the sort of Japanese anime feel and it still keeps it's own donghua aesthetic to it. The characters aren't all that special looking, but they still have their charm and I think Shi Fen is really cute.
If you want something to laugh at this should be your go-to, because I was pissing myself throughout the entirety of the episodes.
The opening is done by B…

(TLDR at the bottom)
I watched this some time ago but never wrote anything for it at the time due to planning to release reviews for all 4 seasons that currently exist all at once, but that might be very troublesome knowing how fast I get with anime. Oh well, here's a short review.
It's an episodic SoL that features siblings behaving in the way siblings would usually behave. Being annoying, terrible communication, getting at each other and all the rest of it. It's something that anime is seemingly incapable of doing from time to time, so I guess we just leave that to donghua.
Everything here makes sense. From the time at school to time at home to just about anything really, the two come across as real people all in all. I suppose it is a little more exaggerated with Shi Miao being the…

Really liked the animation style, very good expressions. They are cute short stories and I enjoyed it more than other anime I have watched with 3-ish minute episodes because the story is continued over multiple episodes rather than random shorts. Of course, there are random cuts in the story but it is still enjoyable.
I'm sure this would be a relatable relationship to people with siblings. There were a few scenes that actually made me laugh, the story isn't deep or anything, its all very light-hearted fun which was nice to watch for a few minutes out of the day.

This anime is really funnyy to watch.
It's some short stories (around 3 minutes each) about a teenage girl and her older brother. They're both in highschool. Their relationship is really interesting. She likes to hit him a lot. However we can sense that they love each other in their own special way.
The art and animation are average but it didn't have an impact on the enjoyment I had.
There is a really short opening which is nice.
If you don't have a lot of time, this is the perfect anime for you.
I really enjoyed it and it made me smile a lot.

This is the type of sibling dynamic I wanna see! Not those uncomfortable forced ones we always see in other anime.
I'd like to keep this review nice and short. I have an older brother that's 9 years older than me and we often have fights. But I love him regardless. This show is so, as much as I hate this word, relatable. It perfectly describes my dynamic with my brother.
Another show with a nice dynamic is Umaru-chan, because I'm that perfect younger sister who's amazing outside, but inside the house, I'm a filthy degenerate that stays up late and lazes around. The older brother puts up with his sister's shit, and does everything. Well, I'm not that lazy anymore, but my brother said he dropped the show because Umaru reminded him too much of me.
I appreciate this show a lot. It's nice…

Hey, an anime where the younger sister isn't romantically interested in the aloof big brother...what is this...
A Chinese Cart-
Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai! is an anime short adapted from a Chinese web manga just with Japanese voice actors and to say that this anime short was bite-sized comedy with a "bit" of plotline featuring the two siblings. So the two siblings, they are Shi Fen voiced by Yuuichi Nakamura, the aloof big brother who mostly gets violently "handled" by his younger sister Shi Mao voiced by Sora Amamiya, who has a crush on Shi Fen....'s friend Kai Xin voiced by Kensho Ono, who is much like Shi Fen is aloof but he's waaay more ditzier than Shi Fen is. But mostly Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!'s comedy comes from Shi fen's aloofness and Shi Mao beating the shit out of him w…

An Anime/Manhwa about "Actual" Sibling relationship without any "Romantic Feelings" between them. Very surprising right in this world of animes? and not only that, You actually can relate if you have a sibling and a similar type of friends in this story.
It's pretty amusing about their relationship, especially both of them grown up and not very distance age. the brother quite troublesome while the sister try her best to eat ton of bs action from her brother decision. they fight here and there just like any siblings, but they will end up like it's nothing in the next day! (even though a new problem will arise each day)
Enough said, go check it out and stop reading reviews!

this show was so relatable. it was comedic and accurately showed sibling relationships (taking just one huge bite). the characters are teenagers and act, well like teens. there's no extremely deep moments or the kids being wise beyond their years, its just kids being kids and being stupid (basically the same thing). I found myself in tears after each episode because I found it so funny.
the art style was actually something i loved. it was different but it worked. it looked cute and it just added to the whole mood.
the episodes are 3 mins long each so you could watch the entire show in an hour. I liked that because then the show didnt drag on and it was like snapshots of their life, building up to a plot. I love how dumb fen is but he tries his best!
overall its a funny, realistic anime…

ani ni tsukeru is a great uncompromising anime to watch on a tedious afternoon
story: 7/10: the story is simple but very interesting, very original and delicious to watch
art: 9/10: a beautiful animation, very similar to American cartoons and with a standard anime, the mixture of the two styles was beautiful and different
sound: 6/10: nothing much here, the opening has a cool song and the ending follows in the same style, undoubtedly the weakest thing of the anime
character: 9/10: great characters and very charismatic, everyone is very different from each other and the way of interaction is also very interesting
enjoyment: 7/10: nothing too much trouble here but the end of a good hook for a 2 season.
Overall: 8/10: An extremely entertaining anime, with great production and characters, the…

Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai! (Take my Brother away)
Good animation for an Anime with episodes that last 3 minutes each.
Enjoyable comedy.
No plot, just plain comedy, but funny.
I have seen this on other reviews, and i agree, the color scheme was kind of boring.
Overall 8/10
I give it that because for such a short anime that this is i enjoyed watching it, it was funny and it didn't take a lot of time to finish. Short and simple, if you are looking for a short enjoyable, funny Anime to watch, you should watch Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!

In this anime, you'll find siblings relationship that you can actually relate to, instead of the "imouto" type of characters that go ultra-moe around their "onii-chan". And that isn't the only thing this short anime offers.
PLUS:
- Good comedy.
- The art and animation look fair enough for a short anime. And interesting character designs.
- Nakamura Yuichi and Amamiya Sora as two MCs. More than enough for a comedy show.
MINUS:
- The color scheme is kinda plain. Make it looks like it's some kind of a flash-animation.
- This thing is for fun only so there are no plot to be expected. And here're some wisdom:
"What is more important, pride or food!?"
"Food!!"
My, I'm gonna live by those words.

A final review of Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!
(It may contain some spoilers, so be aware of it):
================================
"Siblings are the people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring, quite often the hard way." - Pamela Dugdale
Some people would say that 'the more you are fighting with each other, the more you are in a close relationship'. In a good way, that's quite true. It is because it serves as 'awkward-like' indirect communication to show some intimacy interactions to other people, just like a fight between siblings. Well, some of it might misinterpret that kind of fighting between siblings... Maybe you know what I meant here...
Based from a Chinese manhua, 'Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai!' is a short anime show…

As someone who had read the original manhua before watching the anime, I want to explain to someone saying that the summary is "misleading" -- It's not, the summary is for the freaking manhua, jerk.In the manhua, Shi Fen/Minuto is a little more mature because there are touching scenes like when he had to borrow money to compensate as Secondra accidentally hit a kid, or when their parents got divorced and he comforted her saying he would not leave her alone. Also, although Secondra is a strong girl, she also wanted to play princess but she had no friend at the time, so Minuto also acted like a prince for his sister.

I didn't mind the artstyle and especially because it's a short anime. I actually liked it a bit. I love the voice actors of the two main characters (the voice of Tatsuya from Mahouka and Aqua from Konosuba), but the synopsis was misleading. The brother doesn't have redeeming qualities and the violent is a bit overboard. If I were to send myself a message before watching the show it'd be (skip episodes 2-5).
I may be nitpicking but it's my own review and in all my review I make it clear that it's a subjective review not an objective one. Anime should be enjoyable and I didn't enjoy this anime much, but I can see how others would.
It's better to watch episodes 1-3 (total of 10 minutes) and judge if you'll continue or not

I thank whatever superior entities exist in this universe for bestowing upon me the good luck of stumbling upon "Take my Brother Away".
My score: 9/10
What it deserves: 7/10
Why the high score?
This is a very short series, each episode lasting 3 minutes. Altogether, this comes to a slightly longer regular episode length. So one can think of it as an OVA.
It is so rare these days to find a show based on siblings without there being any semblance of some sort of romantic interest in one another. In other words, siblings being SIBLINGS. It was extremely refreshing.
The characters themselves each have their innate personalities, which show up time and again, but not without exceptions, where any change makes perfect sense. Having siblings myself, the dynamics between the two I find quite a…

Please Take my Brother Away is a classic sibling war between an annoying older brother and violent little sister - a simple concept well executed in the form of top notch comedic timing, funny character interactions and relatable humor that any sibling themselves can enjoy. To me at least, this is the best comedy of the Spring season and is worth checking out for the concept and low time commitment alone.
"Hidden gem" is a term thrown around too loosely these days, but with less than 10k total members for the funniest anime of the season, it certainly applies here. My only real issue is the lack of additional episodes to explore the concept even further, but if more people watch the anime and support the source material then that problem should take care of itself.
