This anime should have an award for such a deceptive title. I mean it is accurate, but most people reading the title would get the impression that it's just another horndog Ecchi anime. But it's not. I mean there are moments that some ecchi things happen, but they're mostly comedic. But honestly it's more than that, it has that ample amount of awkward romance and wholesomeness that it just works. I don't think it's something really deep or whatnot, it's got a few cliches. But the thing about cliches is, they exist because they work. While normally it'd feel corny to even me, somehow this thing in this particular story works for me. I love it. Also can't forget about the characters, so relatable to me as an avid book reader. Specially my man Mizuto, when he says, "The world of fiction was r…

tl;dr: A messy but interesting anime about a very messy but interesting relationship.
“Looking back, I can only describe it as a youthful indiscretion, but from my second to third year of middle school, I had what you might call a girlfriend. We can’t go back to how things were. We can’t bring back the happiness we felt back then. And yet… my feeling from that time are still etched into my soul. For now I’m okay with that. We still haven’t fully moved on. But it’s fine. Because I… No, we… have a chance to weave a new tale.”
This anime is the very strange tale of Mizuto and Yume, who went out during middle school but broke up at the end of it, only to discover not long after that their respective single parents were getting remarried to each other. Seeing as both of them are good kids tha…

Starts off pretty good.
Irido and Yume are exes. However one day they find out that their single parents are getting married to each other.
So now Irido and Yume are stepsiblings living in the same house.
Irido is the emotionless one, he loves reading books, keeps to himself, and doesnt stress about most things. A really great character.
Yume is a former nerd aiming to reinvent herself as the class princess.
The two have a love hate relationship but must try to be on their best behavior to keep their parents happy. But at the same time trying to control the fact that the feelings they had for each other is resurfacing.
Like i said it starts off pretty strong. But then devolves into boring, dragged-out garbage.
Mainly because Yume is such an unlikeable character (◔_◔) And the second ha…

I have a bad habit of seeing a fucked up or retarded premise or title, saying “what the fuck is this?” and then clicking on it. And then at that point I’m enthralled and interested saying “ok what the fuck, where the hell is this going” and when that happens, I’m past the point of no return. I don’t know why I do that but I do it every time making me put shit like this on the list for the whole world to see. I could just leave it off the list, no one will know. In all honesty I’m tempted. But no. I need you to know that shit like this actually gets made. It gets funded and people like it. I mean I watched it so I guess I’m part of the problem but whatever. So, what is my genuine opinion? Not as bad as I thought it would be. Better than Domestic Girlfriend because at least this one doesn't…

One of my favorite Manga to ever exist is Domestic na Kanojo (Domestic Girlfriend). Which had a very similar concept to this anime here, that being former lovers becoming step siblings, the only difference conceptually here there's only one stepsister. Which can be seen as an up or downgrade. My Stepmom's Daughter is my Ex takes this award-winning concept that has for some reason been used twice and offers a much more lighthearted and wholesome story than that of its counterpart. Which at the risk of sounding perverted, I would say is not as good of a way of writing this dynamic.
The reason being, at its core, this still absolutely only exists because of an author's sick fantasy. It's quite hard to sell this as some cutesy wholesome relationship dynamic. It's much more of a comedy as wel…

Looking back, I can only describe it as youthful indiscretion. But the summer between undegrad and grad school, I watched what you might call a dumpster fire.
Every few months, I get an urge to randomly select and then watch a show that I am squarely outside of the target audience for and that I don't particularly expect to enjoy. I like to think that it's a good way to keep my finger on the pulse of artistic movements outside of my otherwise-narrow bubble and, in all honesty, I sometimes come away quite surprised. There are three or four shows like this that I've seen this year alone that really blew me away; these positive experiences always end up leaving me encouraged to keep expanding my taste and trying new things. They push me to keep doing what I'm doing!

One of the best romance anime I've watched, right below kaguya sama and bunnygirl senpai.
The reason the rating is low is because of the title.( My stepmoms daughter is my ex) note: it doesn't have to do with the stepmom and step sister things you all watched on PH. In fact it doesn't have as much fan service as some other romance anime.
The story which is basically the title is a 7/10 for its originality.
The character development is a basic key in a romance story so its guaranteed to be good.
And once again if it wasn't for all the internet clowns hating on everything and the countless memes the ratings would have been a lot higher.

I love anime, the title didn't set any bad expectations even though the premise might already be done to death. If you love these types of anime, this one will not disappoint, the interaction between the two main character is lovable, it has heart, and will stay with you for a while. The pacing is consistent and the show remains fully committed to it's main theme and premise. The couple have great dialogue between each other, a mixture of one-liners, comedy and just general love struck interactions mixed in with tsundere, and you can see their relationship strengthen as each episode goes by. It also made me purchase the LN, which expands more on the story and has more flavor. Season 2 needs to be made.

If you are interested in this anime because you are expecting spicy hot domestic girlfriend 2.0 dumpster fire you would be wrong. The step-sibling troupe in this anime was only used as the premise for two ex-couple who have broken up to start learning about each other and themselves and to come to terms with what had happened.
If you had been in a relationship before or were close to someone and ended up having a fallout. This anime really makes you look back on the mistakes you may have made, such as a lack of communication or a lack of general sense to understand the other person. It might make you reflect back perhaps you should have been more forgiving or listened to the other person more. This is what I think is the true beauty of this show.
Throughout the series, this anime bomb y…

This anime is a mess. The title is absolutely degenerative and give the anime community a bad rep. These kind of animes only get attention because of how ridiculous and shitty it is. However to my surprise, this anime was oddly entertaining.
Story, Characters: 5 ; Art and Sound:6
This story is as generic as it gets. Probably the most tropey shit I've seen in a while. It has everything you expect. Lewd circumstances, weird coincidences, bad jokes, all the female characters have big boobs, an introverted male lead and forbidden love. MSDIME is not special, it doesn't even try to.
Enjoyment: 7.5
Despite all the shit I threw at the anime, it is still so damn entertaining. I can't pinpoint what exactly made my watching experience so enjoyable. Was it the because MSDIME embraced its degenerate…

I found this anime quite relatable. I don't like books as much as Mizuto does but I do watch a lot of education video form content such as Kurzgesagt and VSauce which are pretty comparable in my opinion. Quite frankly the story reminds me of the complicated relationship with my sister. refreshing to see something like that portrayed with all of its intricacies and not just "sweet home Alabama". I guess you could call it youthful indiscretion, but from the ages of 12-17 I had daily sex with my sister. yes I felt bad doing it. yes I knew it was "wrong" according to "society", but it also felt good. part of me knew we had to stop but it was the only time I felt safe from my abusive family. My parents themselves are actually cousins, which I sort of projected onto the show even though they exp…

My stepmoms daughter is my ex is absolute cheeks and I feel sad to say I watched this show over 12 weeks on discord with my friends.
This show was terrible. I felt like nothing happened the entire time. The characters had no strengths and were all flawed and stupid.
The characters are bland as fuck. Random flashbacks and much ado about nothing. They try to make this show deep and meaningful, but it goes way over the top. With a title like this, I was expecting comedy and fun stuff to happen. Instead, I got an overly serious story that tries way too hard to be serious.
The only good things were the green haired girl and all the Tim Nook cameos.
Don't watch it unless you like Animal Crossing references and 0 plot.

"To me, you felt more real than anyone I'd ever met."
Looking back, I can only describe it as youthful indiscretion, but from summer of 2022, I watched what you may call a beautiful anime, with a simple but engaging plot, realistic characters and interactions, and a touching story. With confidence, I can say that "My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex", also known as Tsurekano, was an anime I enjoyed from start to finish, an anime that never felt like a chore to watch, and most importantly, an anime that connected to me.
Now look, I get why many people dislike this anime. I'm not here to debunk on your reasons to dislike it. Instead, I'm here to tell you why I love Tsurekano.
First of all, the story. Let's all be real here; the story is nothing special. We've seen many animes already about s…

Domestic Girlfriend part two came out(Only Joking). My Stepmom’s Daughter is my Ex had a weird premise to get behind, I won't lie, and although I could see why a lot of people would have a hard time watching this, it genuinely had its own little charm as both MCs have they’re own issues and are not over the past relationship that they had, and this anime does a good enough job at explaining their backstory with each other and their own personal flaws. However, unlike its similar counterpart Domestic Girlfriend, this anime didn’t really suffer from moments that were really hard to watch, but it was more that it suffered from genuinely really boring and uninteresting stretches.
Art: 7
The art is good for the type of show this is. The animation isn’t anything special, and to be honest, I’ve…

Tsurekano is this season’s generic romcom and doesn’t really do anything to distinguish itself from any of the others that came before it. Nothing in the series is original or refreshing, it’s a stale/bland copy pasta of anime tropes.
When the previews came out, I distinctly remember people talking about how the show would be wholesome and cute, and while I will certainly agree that the show is not nearly as degenerate as the title would have you think and there are occasional cute moments, it’s still just another mediocre rom com that introduces a best girl only for her to lose. The MC and his step-sister/ex gf’s relationship makes absolutely zero progress over the course of 12 weeks and the best moments of the show are when she’s not around. Yume is such a painfully boring and one dimen…

–Spoiler Free Compact Review–
We’ve hit a new low. Mamahaha no Tsurego is a rip-off of the infamous show “Domestic girlfriend”- but worse. For those who don’t know this story is about how ex couples become siblings. As bad as it sounds there are some aspects which I enjoyed, and some I didn't.
Story 4/10: The story is bland and quite shallow. The comedy is underwhelming and cringe. This show lacks any form of storytelling and substance. If I had to say one good aspect of this show it would be that it's an easy bingley show late at night due to its second rate nature. It does have its moments here and there.
Art/Music 5/10: It is certainly Average. It has a forgettable intro and art style along with the fact that the entire thing just seems flat. It just seems so ordinary, I can’t disl…

My Stepmom's Daughter is my Ex has aroused some intriguing things in the community. People cite it as one of the well-written fiction while others are disgusted by the content it dishes out. With the premise being similar to Domestic Girlfriend, the characters don't go over the line and spark controversy this time.
What's the story? It goes around the new life of middle school exes who cannot get away from each other, thanks to the parents being irrelevant with their only purpose being a plot device. So, prepare yourself for a ton of incest fanservice, along with their teenage bickering. Eventually, they go to high school together and what do you know? Have friends, trying to know each other by non-standard means (such as stalking, gossiping, etc.), being clueless about each other's feeli…

Total score 7/10
Teenage is the wildest and most vulnerable phase any human has to go through, It is portrayed in anime mainly in the two extremes some have the time of their lives finding the love of their life after an arduous but fulfilling journey, and others go through horrible situations and/or are led to the wrong path only for the Nakama power to save them much later.
This show really went like this for me “ holy shit they are so immature …. I was too … *sob sob*
The scale is balanced just right, the characters are SADLY very relatable even though the setting of the anime can easily set off the trash alert of any audience…. Even the ecchi enthusiasts.

This show can be summarized as follows: Ex-lovers obsessed with one another who later became siblings and are still obsessed and in love with one another in the present. The show is either a hit or a miss for most people, as there is no middle ground. Watch the first three episodes and decide whether it is worth continuing to watch. Even from just watching the trailer, you'd already know what to expect from the show, including the art and sound quality.
Yume and Irido's chemistry isn't all that great to begin with, and from a logical standpoint, their relationship appears forced with little to no chemistry. To be honest, I'd like to speak for the majority when I say that the Mizuto and Isana pairing would have easily outperformed the ship the show is aiming for. With the exception of Akat…

Watching My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex reminds me of the time when I was forced to stay for detention because I made a mistake in class. The real question to ask is if My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex is a mistake. Yes, it damn right it is.
Based on the novels of the same name, you don't need a vivid imagination to see how our two main characters used to have a history together. It's simple as it gets: they used to be a couple. As fate would have it, Mizuto and Yume would reunite again due to their parents' martial status. The show sets up the two to see who can be the more dominant of the pair. Some people may compare this to Kaguya-sama, a successful franchise that masterfully crafted its rom-com elements. Unfortunately, that is not the case for My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex.
