Review of Days with My Stepsister

This is a good anime overall, but it is definitely not for everyone. First off, this anime is much more realistic in the viewpoint of a stepbrother and stepsister actually falling in love than many other anime. What this means is that the romance is a lot more slow and nuanced compared to something like "Toradora!" where there is more fast paced relationship growth and more of the typical embarrassed blushing romance that commonly happens in those animes. "Days with My Stepsister" however focuses much more on the childhood of the characters to the point of using it as an aid for backstory on the maincharacters and also using their graduation from high school as a point of decision for the teenagers with their growing up and need to find higher education for better jobs.

That isn't to say that I didn't find issues with this, actually I did. I found that this entire show moved so slowly, that it could probably be made into a compacted 6 episodes, or made into one movie. Which I believe this would've been better told as a movie, than that of a anime, but it is what it is.

If you are interested in a more realistic take on this romance, then I recommend it to you.
If you are not the type of person to sit through slow moving romance or dislike realistic relationships, then I would likely stay away.

7/10, Its good.
