Ugh! I just can't get this series out of my head! So wrong and twisted, but at the same time, brilliant. *shiver*

You think Makoto's dad having sex with his great-great-great-granddaughter (and the women of five previous generations in that family) can ever make sense?


hah we have another fan of overflow/stack visual novels here.

I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I thought the show was crap. While the twisted ending was... okay I guess, the whole of the show just had me frustrated and angry. Not because Makoto is an asshole, but because all the women in this show have zero self-steem and seem to have a serious retardation. Even after spoiler[Makoto cheated on them multiple times, both Kotonoha and Sekai insisted that he was a wonderful, gentle and very nice guy and were crazy about trying to get back with him.] It just kept pissing me off, I mean, evenspoiler[ Setsuna, knowing what he had done to Sekai and the kind of person he was, still slept with him god knows why]

Maybe I missed the deep brilliant meaning on this, I just kept seeing retarded girls everywhere who kept deluding themselves into thinking that asshole was a knight in shining armor or something, even if they knew he was an asshole

Maybe.. but knowing how stupid teenagers are when it comes to love/sex this series did show the end result of mess around with to many lovers at the same time.

it doesn't matter. 99% of time, you won't get kill. Even if you sleep with the crazy one.

In US, more people die because they went to the schools with connection to crazy people than sleeping with crazy girls.

Not, really. Just someone who's read the family tree. I've seen it on /a/ multiple times. Loved the anime though.

A real letdown.It started very good.You know,your typical Romance Story.It added some +18 parts during the middle episodes,but that's when it started to go downhill.The Characters were very unlikable especially Makoto.Protagonists are supposed to be liked.The Ending wasn't that traumatizing by the way.

It's horrible and dark, but why is it so well known despite it being terrible? Is it because of the ending?
