This show is an unbelievable waste of time. It's apparently adapted from a light novel, but it feels more like a bad visual novel adaptation, with a rotation of cute girls that each gets their "episode" and then rotates out for a new girl, with no forward plot momentum ever happening. The main character lives on an island with 12 little sisters. Though it's framed as a mystery initially, even that scrap of a plot is discarded almost immediately for mediocre slice of life time-wasting with a cast of girls that all act like they're 6 years old regardless of actual age, and imprint on their big brother the second he steps foot on the island like baby birds. There's never any explanation of how he came to have 12 sisters that he never knew about, and I don't even recall his parents being menti…

Sister Princess is surprisingly not a bad anime.
Its about a boy who finds out he has 12 younger sisters all of whom adore him. And its also hinted that they might want to be his wife. (your typical anime stuff).
Its a relaxing, stress free anime that focuses on the day to day life of these siblings. There are also some supernatural elements here and there.
Its a good anime to have as background noise. It doesn't require your focus.
The voice acting in the dub is kind of silly. With the sisters all having bizarre accents. This was done in an attempt to differentiate them.
And they are all likeable. They didnt shove an annoying tsundere in there for no reason.

Sister Princess is a weird anime, Not in a way that you think it is. Let's start with why i was supposed to not enjoy it that much in the first place, The pace is very slow and it have 26 episode so you would think watching it will feel like a drag. But no, every episode felt relaxing and it put you at ease. The pace definitely compliments the plot of the show. So, what is sister princess about anyway?, It's about a guy named Wataru Minakami leaving the busy city life to a more peaceful and quiet island. Then he met his sister and they try to get closer to him, Thats basically it, Its a slice of life what do you expect anyway?. But thats the charm of it. It take it's time to focus more on The Main character and his sister, Try to develop their relationship even more, Since most of the main…

It is a very SFW-oriented harem anime that I like when I was in middle school and was recommended by my much older cousin saying "yo, here's an anime with awesome OP and ED themes".
The whole story being somewhat incomplete in many ways completes the theme of the story. That is letting things go. The MC is definitely not the star of the show. But really and seriously. Who is the star of this anime series? My conclusion is that it is not a character in Sister Princess, but more like love, specifically about light-hearted love for others very close to you.
I personally believe it's accurate to say that the anime's plot, compare to the game's plot, emphasized the elements of criticizing the dog-eat-dog social attitudes in mid-late 1990s Japan much more than I expected. It nevertheless has a…

I have to say this right off the bat. Excellent opening and ending songs.
Despite its overall story it's a 2001 anime that kickstarted a handful of prominent voice actresses. Never underestimate the power of this anime that once contributed Japan's voice actor fandom.
The story flows slower than one can ever imagine, but I don't mind it. I definitely can relate to the slow-paced lifestyle. And yes, it's suppose to be a slice of life anime. The main theme of this anime could be "kindness among family members" and not romance per se. Obviously it's not really your typical harem genre of anime.
But just directly from the synopsis: a dozen of cute and charming girls start to flock him and claim to be his younger sisters...... Dozens? Obviously I see the funny indirect reference Jesus and hi…

If you take Sister Princess too seriously, then that's a mistake, but if you want to just chill out and watch an anime for fun, then for me this was a fun to watch series.
Some of the stories were a little too silly, and they injected some out of place fantasy episodes, but that's just part of the fun.
The sisters themselves were the best part of the series, they came from all over the world, France, Germany, and China, because Waturu's dad was an old horndog that obviously had a lot of mistresses. They were interesting and kind hearted girls. Waturu, too, is a nice guy who grew to love them all.
I just loved Aria, she dressed like a doll, and was such a lovable airhead, her speech was very simple, and she was adorable.
This wasn't meant to be a sophisticated, adult anime. Waturu left the…

I don't have the strength to write everything that's wrong with this anime. All I have the ability to say is unless you REALLY love your brother (or want to be REALLY loved by a dozen stereotypical sisters), you will most likely hate this show. My debate to watch the show was piqued further when I found people saying the show was INCREDIBLE AND MUST BE WATCHED (I've dubbed this process Bokufication) or there were questions with no responses as to how they felt or even from others who watched it. After a joke about whether this show would be a hidden gem or make me vomit a kidney, I dove in. the words onii-chan (and 11 various ways of saying onii-chan) were probably used about 150 times per episode from episode 2 on. After a kidney AND liver transplant from a local hospital, I decided to wa…

Sister Princess is a great little anime series. I was enthralled from the very start which doesn't happen often but this anime aims to deliver fantastic entertainment and deliver it does!
I was a bit sceptical at first when I picked this series up thinking it would be just another medicore harem but I warmed up to it after the first 3 episodes. It's clear to me that a lot of thought went into this series, nothing was rushed apart from one thing but I'll leave that for later.
First the characters and the story. The characters are extremely diverse and have a lot of depth, which is rare for harem-style animes. The main protagonist is a teenage boy named Wataru who lives in the urban jungle known as Tokyo. We don't really get that much information on his daily life in Tokyo or even the pla…

This was an ok show, though I did rather enjoy it. (But even then, it has major problems that have to be addressed.) It reminded me a lot of Angel Tales in how the characters act around him. The only problem is that it’s his sisters and not guardian angels but even then, I can’t take these characters as sisters. None of them really look like him at all and there seems to be a little girl that he keeps seeing in a yellow outfit that keeps talking to him in his strange dream world. They never explain who it is, they just show her.
The story line pretty much goes back and forward and most end up with Wataru and his sister of the week doing something on the island. It doesn’t even explain much about how he got his sisters, what the charm that keeps being shown is, or even why the hell we shou…

The anime is based off the popular Japanese seinen series written by Sakurako Kimino and illustrated by Naoto Tenhiro. It began as a serialized light novel series and spun into manga and a bishōjo videogame. The show is categorized as a harem (with moe elements) anime but it’s not like one guy + lots of girls = HOT SEX TIME!!!! ; considering the fact that all the girls on this show happens to be the guy’s sisters. That’s right, the main character of this show, Wataru Minakami, has 12 younger sisters (or in the anime case, 13 sisters). Imagine yourself in that position (brothers or sisters, your pick) and wonder about that.
Anyway, the synopsis of this show is when Wataru fails an entrance exam and left behind by his old friends, he is suddenly enrolled him in a school in Promised Island…

Sister Princess is quite an anomaly. It's the show that really kick-started the bishoujo trend that's so popular now. It's unpopular in the states, but in Japan it has developed a rather sizable cult following.
To many, it's very hard to see why. Sister Princess is not the world's greatest anime. The production quality is pretty low, as evidenced by the numerous animation mistakes and oddities that pop up nearly every episode. You'll definitely see them. There are times when an oddly drawn face will be on screen for upwards of five whole seconds without changing, so it's not really something you can ignore when watching. The artistic strengths of the show, however, lie in the colors and the world that they paint. It's a very bright show (especially on DVD) and the near-permanent sunny we…

I've come to the realization that pretty much everything in life is subjective ( TV, movies, food, books, music, etc.). Just because one or two people say something is crap, doesn't really mean it is crap. .
Same can be applied to anime, one person will say an anime they have seen sucks, but there might be more people who actually think it's good regardless of it's flaws and such.
A good example of this would be, of course, Sister Princess.
Plot: Wataru Minakami is a smart guy who, due to a computer glitch, failed his high school entrance exam. He soon finds out he was accepted to another school called Stargazer Hill Academy, which is located on an island called Promise Island. He then goes there ( by force ), and quickly meets 12 cute and charming girls who are his sisters!
The show i…

Sister Princess is, more than likely, aimed at a very narrow audience with it's abundance of cute younger sisters. The series itself suffers from a big lack of story structure and development, as well as a defined purpose for a majority of the events. Still, it is quite certain that a fair group of people will find enjoyment in it's episodic layout.
The story of Sister Princess is pretty shallow despite the large cast. Guy fails a school entrance exam, gets sent to a different school on an island, and meets twelve little sisters. All in all, that's about it. There's no real romance that develops with any of them nor are there any developments seen at school. Viewers will get to see the main character bond differently with each sister but, as a whole, the series is very episodic with littl…
