This one aside, the season's looking a little more evenly distributed across the week this year, at least to me, and Crunchyroll still hasn't announced its 5 mystery picks or their time slots yet.
For example, Monday has Sword of the Demon Hunter, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes and Summer Pockets which I have some hopes for. Tuesday has Catch Me at the Ballpark and, umm... Anyway, Wednesday has Your Forma, The Beginning After the End, and Please Put Them On Takamine-San which I'll try out because (Koff) I'm fascinated by Time Travel paradoxes.... Thursday has Windbreaker which I'm excited about enough that I don't need The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows to be a keeper, which is probably a good thing... |

Is there some secret I don't know about as to why tuesday always has to be the calm day of the week?

I have no idea but I do appreciate a bit of breathing room in the schedule.

Yup, the first episode is very much in line with what you would expect reading the plot summary. We have the (not) sisters all being a specific type including a tsundere with an attack dog and Arata being the clumsy protagonist. Given how the episode went it will turn into a (not) incest war with all the (not) sisters going after Arata sooner or later.
That premise is not for me and there is not really anything else of note for me stick around for either. |

Well a series that seemed like a typical incest show, but the twist that is not really. Though still kind feels like it.

Surprised this one didn't make the cut.

Episode 4
So far nothing has happened that significantly contradicts your prediction. |

So how does this differ from the Quentessential Quintuplets, because I fell like I am watching the same series here.
Granted there are enough differences, obviously they are not Quintuplets, the girls are different ages, the guy is more of a gym rat than an intelligent. But still I see enough similarities here, the girls being raised by a single father with a dead mom. The personalities of the girls. I guess you sub out the guy having a little sister with a slightly younger brother, and doesn't have his own family separate from the girls. I feel like is the same show. I am not saying that in a bad way, and I am still going to watch.Just pointing that out. Anyone else feels the same way as I do? |

@zfunk you know the answer, it is the incest yet not incest that is the selling point of the show.
@Piglet I expected as much, from what I have heard others recently say it is very much a run of the mill romance anime with incest yet not incest added to spice things up. |

What you don't agree with my Quentessional Quintuplets comparison, I could take each sister in this show and compare them to one QQ sister, you even have the shy sister be the first one to admit feelings for the main character.

I agree actually and the comparison fits, I consider QQ to be a fair bit better though. That said I might be a bit biased against Shiunji due to the premise.
