My Review: TOO many complexes in the anime?! Actually its annoying enough to do review from this point when it comes to this type of anime *sigh*


Art Style and Visual Effects:

Honestly its hard to find an example picture to give a brief opinion on the art style of the anime. Majority of it artwork is close to fanservice and ecchi scenes.....well not ecchi but its just borderline. Ill try to avoid the fanservice type of artwork but lets just continue how the character's look.

 The Artwork for the characters aren't that bad for example Akiko. The character designers really know how to portray her personality when it comes to her brother complex. However, it does kinda get creepy when they show how much affection she has with her brother in certain scenes.

I would like to review more onto the art work to be honest but lets just sum up majority of the pictures i can use that are "not ecchi/fanservice" are very limited. Let alone most of them are just funny reactions. Artworks is good but not great.

Story Setting: 

 When I started reading Light Novels I was attracted to reading "Sayonara Piano Sonata" which is being translated by C.E. Light Novels check out their site if you want to read this anime's light novel. Anyways continuing on: When I compare the Light Novel and the Anime how they start... it is not what i expected in reality but then again Anime studios go their own pace and choose how far they want the story to go in. Pretty much if i were to compare the light novel and anime how it starts the studio did only one part of the Volume 1 and then jumped toward probably near end Volume 2 for the first episode. However at this point i can't really compare since i skimmed Volume 2 which i need to read myself. This is just my opinion how i don't like new animes should start but hardly doubt that since its only 12 episodes long and it basically comedy.

Continuing on about the Story Setting: The setting about a Brother and sister reuniting after being apart for so long. The sister grows a brother complex being apart for so long while the brother has a grows a secret sister complex due to being a author of a book that involves incest. At the school the student council decide to take action breaking the complex by taking Akito turning Akiko's actions into comedy. The Student council president..... the student council vice president, the childhood friend/account, the sister/secretary. Pretty much sums up a harem which has no end.

Voice Acting / Music:

Ibuki Kido as Akiko Himenokōji Ryota Ohsaka as Akito Himenokōji Asami Shimoda as Haruomi Ginbei Sawatari Eri Kitamura as Arashi Nikaido Megumi Takamoto as Kaoruko Jinno Minori Chihara as Anastasia Nasuhara Sumire Morohoshi as Arisa Takanomiya

Dunno how i can review this really besides go by how the actors during anime i guess. Actually i can't do a review on this based on my opinion ><;  Besides finding that character Akiko "guhuehue" sound creepy

The music.... beware don't leave the anime episode running constantly or you'll get annoyed with the OP/ED music. I'm not saying its bad.... its just i found it annoying enough i didn't pause the video and left it run to let me burst with madness.

Game, Manga, Light Novel: 

Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3

Manga

The Light Novel seeing as its the source and basically the main story to be used in the anime it is really recommended to read. I can't give much details about the light novel without spoiling it....though i spoiled it for myself skipping Volume 2 and jumping to Volume 3 ..... last chapter..... now i am dealing with a cliffhanger awaiting the next Volume.

The manga if you want pictures involve its pretty good to get a glimpse of it but i don't really like some of the pictures drawn if you do read it you'll understand what i mean. Its not a bad manga just gives you the "shrug" feel.

 

Exactly......

Rating: 8.5/10

Personal Opinion:

The anime adaptation might have some potential for awhile though its has only been 4 episodes so its only 1/4 of the way before the series or season ends. But its a Bro/Sis type of anime that will probably involve incest in some way.... except i can't really spoil it.... unless you want go read Volume 3 last chapter of the light novel for the cliffhanger. However giving this hint might spark curiosity or a hint. Well who cares if you choose to glimpse it...its your problem meh. Its not bad of an anime though more like i chose to watch this to kill time =p
