LOL, one misunderstanding created a wild ride in episode 3 this week.

Also, the ending..my head's telling me that we're all going to get trolled next week. Anyways, entertaining episode.

It is is too early for them to reveal the sister's identity, so it is likely a false conclusion, and that puts a lot of the other characters higher on the list as being possibles. But I am still keeping my current theory, and consider that episode 3 is early off for a double fake out.

We will probably find some stuff about him knowing some characters in the past that he had forgotten soon that should help paint a picture. They will need to explain what happened here.

BTW, that sister caller sounds uber creepy, what do you think are the chances he might end up on a nice boat ride at the end of the series.

But the series touches my fantasy loving parts, wait it is not supposed to sound that creepy, I am saying that the guy is either really lucky, or the opposite to spoiler[wake up to a naked girl one day, wake up to two girls the next, and the sleep with the girls, they were even topless. It challenges some parts of Kiss x Sis.] Bodyguard is still best character, don't know why I have been loving gay jokes so much recently, I blame those two friends of the crawling chaos.

On a personal note, I see the issue of the sibling thing to do with the inherent hardwireing of the brain that makes us reject people that we grew up with. It being wrong because that is a feeling you naturally get that rejects the idea, but the supposed genetic issues are fairly rare, and mostly come from a long line of it happening. I see no moral problem with him getting with his sister he never knew, if they are compatible, but kind of creepy with talking the normal (or even cuter way) with a brother sister relationship.

Actually this kind of reminds me of a hypothetical in Kannagi where Nagi's cover story is being a half sister, and a character thinks about them being together and shunned by society.

Yes I also think it is a false accusation as she did not say she was his sister. I don't think she heard him proclaiming her to be his sister as she was too shocked from his rejection. I don't think this anime will take the incestuous approach. She is probably an adopted daughter or something, so they would not be related by blood.

Episode 3 made this show my favorite of the season so far and it only looks like it will get even better.

I really like how Miyabi really has taken spoiler[center stage for Shogo's attention] (because I like her myself) since she was previously overshadowed by the prospect of obvious-girl-is-obvious-Konoe. Something, I can't explain what, tells me that Miyabi is spoiler[not his sister] (and I hope she's not because I seriously want to strangle psycho telemarketer girl).

Also I was Laughing Laughing Laughing when sensei showed up in his dream.

Oh, man! This is the most fun show this season!

Episode 3 was a wild hoot! I absolutely love how after every episode, all these kids on the internet are firing off silly, derisive comments like "Why doesn't he just DNA test them" or somesuch, and then in the very next episode they cover it! I also love that we've got a male main character in a shonen love comedy who's actually interested in the girls, but is being blocked because he doesn't want to do something skeevy. NICE. Finally, I love the mystery, and the way the clues are constantly sprinkled about of who is or is not the sister. Every time you think you have an idea on who the sister is, the evidence points in another direction. Hoo boy! This is sooo much stupid fun! Laughing

interesting leap in logic: has merch of a really old show that he likes, so that must mean she is the sister.

I think that logic dictates that Shougos actually the little sister... Fight Club esque split personality disorder tastic!

I came to this conclusion because he has a wound on his head. Its soooo obvious. (Maybe once he really did have a younger sister but she's probably dead... From a car accident or some random generic shit like that)

So naturally what do you do for the son that thinks he's an imouto? Send him to some trashy skank filled school in the hope that he'll realise he's actually got a dick and put all this Tyler Durden little sister bullshit behind him.

The most interesting thing going on here is Shougo is beginning to see the circumstances around him in how they relate to the industrially complex he is set up to inherit. Although it is kind of stupid to place great significance on the bathroom soap dispenser or whatever it is it does seem that a pattern is emerging. The first instance is that he was contemplating the logo on the swimsuit.

If that continues I would say that this school/harem situation is a simulation/test of some kind set up by his father's will. That's just speculation. It is just as likely that the story is nowhere near that clever.

Well, I just caught up with this after it didn't kill Bamboo in the Stream.

I think the end of episode 3 has a pretty likely explanation if you've seen enough of this kind of show. spoiler[He probably met her earlier and played Granberion to save her from some nonsense, which made her fall in love with both him and Granberion.]

Episode 4

So the little sister from the calls was just spoiler[ Konoe trolling him by pretending to be his little sister because that was her wish since she met him as a child]. Now 2 of the girls are eliminated from being his little sister, spoiler[Konoe and Miyabi.]. I still think its the bodyguard who is actually the little sister or it might even be someone who hasn't been introduced yet as the preview showed there might be 2 new girls, a purple head and a red head.

Don't count anyone out, man! We've got an amnesiac main character and a bunch of girls not being straight with us. The little sister might have just shed her tail....er, skirt.....er, something...

I'm going to call this now and hope I'm wrong:

spoiler[There is no little sister. The one calling is the maid cafe chick. She's advertising her cafe in hopes of becoming successful. Mister X is just a nut proclaiming nonsensical things to MC. Maybe all of them are involved in prank calling MC. We probably won't find out.]


Damn it, I was somewhat close. Well, at least he can spoiler[have "fun" time with the two best characters in the show. More fun than the fun they're having now.] Agh, dammit, I'm envious. Why can't I wake up next to two fine, nude ladies? Am I that repulsive? What does a man have to do to wake up next to two beautiful women?!

I guess I'll go buy body pillows now...
