Review of Kiss x Sis (TV)

I... have no words. I watched this series for two reasons: 1, based on a recommendation from TheAnimeMan, believing that even if the whole series was absolutely awful, I might get some, well, 'enjoyable' moments from it for later use. 2, I've wanted to just watch a ton of anime lately, but I've already watched a lot of big names, so I'm just going through old seasonal charts for series that look interesting, and this happened to be in the Spring of 2010. Kiss x Sis was pretty infamous back in the day, and I remember, probably with a lot of people, seeing that weird 'chocolate lipstickscene' on a youtube clip somewhere and just being like 'I hope that isn't his sister or anything'. Oh, how poor and naive I was...
The show is basically about a middle school boy (yes I said middle school) getting sexually harrased by his two older sisters, and basically falling into a Stockholm-style infatuation with them. While that might seem like a harsh description, it's pretty apt, as the real description is that his sisters 'distract him' as he's studying to enter the same high school as him. There's even a really unintentionally funny scene in the last batch of episodes where the sisters pride themselves on helping their brother study, then cutting to clips where they were intentionally using their revealed bodies to distract him from studying.
The main character I found to be surprisingly the best part about the program. While most characters of this ilk seem like pessimists who only get in the way of the show's goal of showing off their female leads for no good reason, you can tell this kid just wants to study, knowing he's not the best nor brightest. Despite that, this cavalcade of women just start going to town on him throughout the series, and while he can get horny at times, you can tell he's just trying to make the best out of an awkward situation.
The two 'sis's' on the other hand... I couldn't stand them. They're the basic, 'I want to spend every waking minute thinking about the main character's dick' kind of characters, to the point that I never even learned which sister was which. There was no point, as while they might have different characteristics, their personalities were exactly the same: I love my step-bro.
The supporting harem are also some of the worse I've seen in a series like this, including but not limited to: a loli character who's main characteristic is flashing the main character, a high school teacher who's main characteristic is being a domination-loving otaku, and a classmate of the main character who... pees a lot.
...
I wish I was making up that peeing part, too. There is one scene where the main character walks into this girl peeing in the woods during a fireworks show, and he watches it happen... for like 30 seconds. It at least felt like 30 seconds, because I was so uncomfortable watching a middle school girl peeing in the woods that I skipped forward like twice, only to realize the scene was still going on and hadn't hit its climax.
The opening and ending aren't bad, though. They're extremely generic, but at least the ending has some nice pep and catchy English lines that make it stick out against the sea of other shows just like it.
And that's a great description for the show as a whole: it stands out from the crowd... just not in the best ways possible. It's certainly something that hadn't been done much before, and something so intensely attractive to a niche audience that it would last long after.

But yeah, I could barely get hard watching this series, -1/10
