Oh come on, really? Incest-themed series that only exists to pander to anime and incest and eroge fans won't go where most of the people watching want it to go, and go into "real" incest?
Yeah right. Not going to happen.
I haven't seen anything from him yet, but from her as I said there've been plenty of signs of the usual she-likes-him-but-won't-admit-it-to-herself-so-she-covers-it-up-with-violence thing. Whether or not she actually loves him or not I don't know, but she obviously likes him, and honestly considering the genre I'd be pretty surprised if it's just "like". As I said, that's all I need to know how silly this is. Siblings... don't often get along well during childhood. This, as I said, is quite the opposite of that, the oddly standard anime siblings who not only don't not get along, but where at least one of them is in love with the other. This is one of those.
I mean, I'm not blaming it for being an incest show, that IS the whole reason why it exists, after all. I'm just saying that that is what it is, and I don't like that.
And I know that anime fantasy is nothing like reality, but still, anyone who has an actual sibling like I do would know how ridiculously stupid anime's obsession with incest is. I know I've said it before, but I really do think the fact that Japan's birthrate is so low has to be one reason why this is so popular now there... people with actual siblings would not often be interested in this kind of thing I think, because of how annoying siblings are. :)
I don't know if I know any siblings who actually got along well at all before their 20s...
I would never expect anime to be realistic of course, because it almost never is, but it's just that I guess harem shows like that probably make me think of my sister, which makes me think about how much we disagree about almost everything and how annoying she is. You know, normal sibling relationship stuff. My younger cousins (both boys) fought constantly, for instance, they were always fighting...
I'm sure that with more than two siblings things would be different in some way, but I'm not sure how; two is the "normal" number, anyway.
Of course there are very rare cases of siblings actually liking eachother romantically, but it's very rare, quite unlike in anime-land where it's a common everyday occurance you see all over the place.
I would say that part of it is probably cultural differences, but incest taboos are pretty general worldwide, for siblings at least, so that doesn't explain that part of it.
Of course, anime people don't act much like actual people in a whole lot of ways, so it's not like it's anything special... just one of many ways you can show that fact to be true, really. And it's fine as it is, probably, I don't really care, I'm just not going to watch shows like this.
