This Week in Anime - What the Hell is Happening in My Sister, My Writer?

Exactly the same reason why things like reality shows and slasher movies exist,there are a audience for that, with the difference that are no real people/actors/contestants in anime/novels.

In case of incest fiction, its been around for thousents of years, since ancient Greece.

Did you, uh, not read the rest of my post? I fully understand why porn exists. I don't understand why fourth-rate not-porn with no payoff exists.

I just...fundamentally do not understand why shows/novels like this even exist in the first place.

Oreimo was pretty good until politics of that time get involved and made the author change the ending to become less explicit (the ending is more explicit in the LN). Nowdays he would be able do to the ending the way he wanted.

Eromanga Sensei is one of the best imouto LN and the world of LNs is one of the best things about Eromanga.

Imouto Sae Ireba Ii Is a joke. Is a very fun joke but can't be take seriously.

Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja nai I heard god reviews from Japan about the LN and the manga but the anime is a complete disaster and i don't know what Kadokawa was thinking choosing this new studio or not giving the enough time to develop before releasing the anime. It was better to delay for a another season and give a better anime to audience. It is a failed promotion. Is better they think about it for the next LN promotion animes.

Also is a wake up call about foreign outsourcing of anime. Is better to spend a little more money and use Japanese manpower/studios/companies for anime than outsourcing to less than good foreigner companies.

I just...fundamentally do not understand why shows/novels like this even exist in the first place. Like, let's work with the reasonable assumption that the endgame for this particular genre is to be fap-bait. If that's the case, then there's literally an entire universe of doujin out there catering to every depraved sub-fetish imaginable. Some of them even have really good art! And they're pretty much guaranteed to, er, get the job done far more efficiently. So if that's the case, why would anyone subject themselves to episodes' worth of horrific writing, garbage animation, and ear-grating "onii-chaaaaannnn~"s for what amounts to zero payoff? That's the weirdest part to me about shows like this: they manage to be both really creepy AND shockingly chaste. They straddle this seemingly-pointless middle ground of not-legitimate-storytelling, but also not-porn. Why bother?

(A friend of mine made a spectacular analogy: there's a good reason why Hooters is going under, while both fine dining establishments and strip clubs are seemingly doing just fine.)
