Oneechan ga Kita

TLDR: Cheap generic fun. An "attractive" older stepsister, Ichika, doting over her new stepbrother, Tomoya. No, it's not a hentai but it's Japanese and there is a dozen of these amusing 3-minute anime series with the same premise. I guess this is a popular trope. Basically, it is generic. The music, art, and animation quality are pretty standard. But it's not horrible and I don't get a creepy incestuous vibe. That might be the one thing that set it apart in that Ichika just wants to be a loving big sister. This almost gives "Oneechan ga Kita" a bit of wholesomeness; all be it in avery strange way. As without that little bit of context this show would quickly degenerate into something less "appropriate" for general consumption. You've spent more time watching a single episode of a bad anime, so why not to give this show a chance as this entire series is about 20 minutes.

Ever finished something and thought "wait... what did I just watch again?" . Well that's precisely the feeling this title convey. Story: 1/10 No real story to speak of. The 3 min runtime follows along the same vein of: Ichika obsesses over Tomoya, Tomoya is slightly weirded out, but he grows to like her ... rinse and repeat. I kid you not, that's it.. nothing more, nothing less. It's something that leaves no impact, as it is quickly forgotten moments after completion. Art: 2/10 No attention to detail. Everything feels like it was just copied and pasted from the countless of other generic school romps. Thecharacter design also lack originality. No sense of depth, texture, cinematics or anything that makes a decent anime experience. Sound: 2/10 There's virtually none to speak of. Just your generic "fluffy" sounds. The voice actors were fine, none leaving an impact however. Character: 2/10 They're all archetypes. With that being said you've seen this one note cast countless of times. Tomoya: the timid guy Ichika: obsessive stalker girl Kouki: the "i'm to good for you" guy and the rest follow this pattern, either existing for the sole purpose of being a comedic gag or just filing in a archetypal role. Enjoyment: 2/10 It's hard to enjoy something that you forget within the span of time it took to finish write this review. If you've seen enough of these slice of life/school setting anime then this won't bring anything new to the table. Overall: 2/10 I can't say this is a waste of time seeing that it's only slightly longer than your standard 25min episode runtime. If you have nothing else to do and have 30mins to kill then by all means knock this one out.

For those wanting a quickie review I'll Keep this short and sweat for you guys. If you are wanting a nicely styled, funny Anime, with a hilarious bro-con Sister, that you can blast through really quick while enjoying regular laughs then Onee-Chan ga Kita is perfect for you. For those wanting a bit more in depth, here you go:- Story: 7 Although i'm not a huge fan of incestuous relationships, this anime does it right by not forcing it in your face. It's kept simple and sweet. It reminded me of a short, wackier, yet less perverted version of Kiss X Sis. Art: 8 The art style is different fromyour conventional anime's, but still enjoyable none the less. Another reviewer mentioned it suits the anime well, and i have to agree, that difference in style only highlights how strange Mizuhara is (in a good way) Sound: 7 Nothing spectacular, but was enjoyable and fitted nicely with the anime Character: 10 Although all the characters have their own positive and negative aspects, Mizuhara MAKES this anime, she is a riot, she never failed to make me smile and laugh. She gives this anime it's feel. She alone makes this anime a 10/10 for characters. Overall: 9/10 I came into this anime not expecting much due to the 3 minute episode length. But after blasting through all episodes in 1 sitting i was left yearning for more. It made me laugh on a regular basis without being just another stupid anime with some laughs. It still had some lovely moments of that Sisterly love. As i mentioned at the start i recommend this anime to anyone who wants a quick light hearted funny anime. And i especially recommend it to anyone who was a fan of Kiss X Sis.
