It's called "I Love My Little Sister"...

That's...

...y'know what? At this point, nothing from Japan surprises me anymore. O_o; Even if it SHOULD, it... somehow doesn't. This is just...disturbing really. This is like Koi Kaze to a whole other level...and that was pushing it. I know the subject isn't as big of a deal in Japan as it is in the West as its not really shunned over thereBut it also isnt THIS mainstream. This is just wrong, apparently it's going to be taking a more hands on and very agressive take on the subject of incest than any anime has done before. I'm really at a loss for words. What creeps me out is the way it's being handled as if it were real.

Angel Sanctuary,NGE,Tenchi, all those shows had to deal with incest in some part, but the way they did it was with heavy humor or involving some metaphysics and symbolism and religious events that kinda throws off the whole incest thing, or at least makes it seem smaller. While as this show is definetely grounded in reality in the manner it's being taken.

Also, that picture on the site scares the living crap out of me.

Ah, well. Thats just retarded. I cant read Japanese.. Though i can safely say I understand what your trying to say. There is no animewise an inner part to this. I love my little sister, i mean. The heck are they trying to set here.
Seems like another one of those, disturbing partings of Japanese times. Oh well.

o_O Eh, normally I wouldn't really care. I'd go with the ever-clichd "love is love" thing and then totter off to do something else.

But... then I saw the picutre. OMFG. She looks... what... eight years old? x_X The guy is at least 16. That is what I call wrong. >_<; If you've gotta do the incest--no, if you have to do anything regarding physical love--then I say at least make them both legal age or within the legal ages for consentual relationships.

I'm disturbed... and it takes a lot to make me disturbed. ;-;

Eh, she looks a lot younger in that picture. Anyway, regardless, the age gap is the thing that freaks me out here. o_o; Incest doesn't really squick me; but major age differences like that do. And normally it's not too bad (like in Cardcaptor Sakura like Rika and their teacher), but... teen pregnancy? That's going too far for me. :\ Blech.

Well...it started in a teenaged magazine(14) then got moved to advanced (17) then to mature (22) and right now the manga is looking for a new publisher since it kept pushing the limits O.o Having a kid at that age in Japan is usually nothing big really, but having it with your borther is pushing it, even for their standards.

Lol, well, at least they're keeping it with the age group it belongs as it progresses. o_O It must have a fairly big fan base if publishers keep willingly picking it up like that... but then, the subject likely isn't as touchy there as it is here. Ehh...

=\ I wouldn't mind reading a bit of it, just to be able to judge after seeing it rather than prematurely like this. Who knows? Maybe it's actually more tasteful than we're giving it credit for? (Though, that would seriously surprise me.)

Meh. I don't think of it as any different anymore for the Japanese anyway. For me, I just don't plain care what they throw in. Extreme loli graphical violence? Done that... Incest? Done that... Teen pregnancy and also little girls being loved? Done before...

And this one is just mixing all the old stuff up into one package, that's all. (I know, I make it sound like it's no big deal, but it's mainly due to the lack of emotional attachment that I make with some of the manga/anime anyway)... Weird.

Ah, well, you get all kinds huh? It kind of reminds me of Not Another Teen Movie, when the girl wanted to get it on with her brother~
