I present a challenge: try watching an entire episode of this show without shuddering or saying 'ugh' in response to the hideous faces the characters make. That sounds a lot better, sort of like I've rinsed my mouth of bacteria. So, actually, in the unfortunate event that I must discuss this show again, he will remain 'the protagonist'. I don't even want to refer to the protagonist by his name since he doesn't deserve the honor of having one. Whatever.Įvery asinine, ludicrous trope a light novel adaptation could possibly have (yes, even in 2018, apparently) is present here: the obligatory beach scene (complete with lewd lotion-lathering), girls screaming at Yuu (the protagonist) for walking in on them changing clothes, an unnecessary harem, and like its mouth-breathing brother, Infinite Stratos, all members of said harem are for some reason attracted to the protagonist despite him having the same level of appeal as a cockroach. Where she even got her cosplay outfit is a mystery only the heavens can unfold, because, really, who in the hell carries around a succubus outfit for no reason? "Ah, at long last, an occasion has presented itself for me to wear this succubus outfit I've carried around all these years." Perhaps she cast some incantation to summon it from the abyss? Who knows. Oh, there is plenty more, deeply intelligent, riveting content, such as a five minute discussion on what it means to flash one's panties, the protagonist dressed in bondage clothing and whipped by his little sister until the crack of dawn, him sniffing and fondling his sister's hair during a live radio interview, or some random girl the protagonist has only known for about two days cosplaying in his bedroom to test what does and what doesn't make him pop a boner, because apparently that is relevant to writing fiction. "Isn't that obvious? I'm a huge fan of yours, Towano." "Are you even listening to me? I want your autograph!" "Hey, what do you mean, you want my autograph?" ![]() *gasps so hard he is practically dying* "I'm a huge fan! Please give me your autograph!" "Yes, I'm the up-and-coming author, Enryuu Homura!" dialogue with one of the show's finer moments: It doesn't get any uglier than this, and I do mean so literally as well as figuratively. ![]() Yes, number one, and without any hyperbole intended. That is to say, "Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja Nai" (or however the hell you are supposed to abbreviate this dumb, dumb, cretinous title) is the worst TV anime I've ever seen. Over the past 10 years of watching anime, there have been hundreds of stinkers, truly dreadful shows that have tested my tolerance to its utmost limits, but, gee, I think we've found the stinker of all stinkers with this one.
