The List - 7 Brother-Sister Romances That Went Too Far

Uhhh, that Yosuga no Sora summary is pretty inaccurate since the story does the multi-verse route approach, so the "incest" arc doesn't involve him screwing every other girl beforehand.

Oh thanks goodness I was scared for a moment I was the only person who noticed this, which I'm not sure what it would have said about me.

Or: talking about "what about the healthy relationships" is like talking about "but some people *want* to be killed: we should have a more nuanced view on 'murder' rather than this blanket condemnation".

They make it VERY clear that BOTH Manami & Kirino feel that the other one has been "in their way" for a very long time.

I would argue that Manami does EVERYTHING possible, including spoiler[trying to help ANY other option] to prevent the incest route simply because she knows how difficult that will be for Kyosuke and cares for him enough that she doesn't want him to go through that. (even if he's not with her)

What it says about you is that you watch anime for enjoyment rather than as part of your job, so that you actually pay attention to what's going on.

I almost feel sorry for ANN reviewers sometimes, when it's clear they're having to review shows that they obviously abhor.

In all fairness, your summary implies that Haruka's aware of these previous routes, hence the "loaded" decision he makes to pursue his sister. When the reality is it's one of many independent possibilities. If you wanted to make it clear that the viewer has seen this play out, you could've reworded it as "This becomes troublesome for Haruka, who we've already seen sleep with all the other girls in the series in the previous routes." It's not the biggest deal in the world, but anyone who might be interested in watching any of these series might be expecting a School Days when Haruka's not that kind of character. Thank you for the clarification, all the same.

Readers don't always react positively towards my occasional editorial commentary, especially when it sounds like I'm ribbing something at its expense instead of writing a 100% super-nuanced plot synopsis. The same thing often happens when I leave out spoilers I have knowledge of but would require me to write an additional 400+ words for one entry. I leave it out and inevitably someone comes into the forum to tell me how well actually it's this.

Koi Kaze is in great need of a license rescue; it is as measured and delicate as its reputation would suggest. Sadly it may never receive one due to its subject matter—it works so deftly to explore and ultimately justify its objectionable premise, though it still has to overcome people's hesitation to view it on that very basis.

Sisters banging brothers, sons banging mothers, daughters banging fathers. What a happy world. People who accept and condone incest wether it's real or fiction are sick.

In a philosophy essay, you would've already failed. The use of strawman arguments, plus insults, plus no proper argument for your case, equals: An emotional mess of no worth whatsoever. If you have a view, voice it. Voice it at will, but keep it articulate, inteligent and civilized, in order to be taken seriously. This would sound like a Trump argument, were it not for his unhealthy obssession over Ivanka

I think some people here would find some CLAMP works, like say X/1999, shocking.

Another anime that skirts around the incest taboo is "World Break". Satsuki lusts after the lead guy Moreha but those too were romantic siblings in a past life.
