Review of Kiss x Sis (TV)

What Kiss x Sis tries to be is a love/romcom story; what it really is: just another harem show with softcore sexless hentai, and "incest". I don't actually buy step-sibling romance as being incest, it's just people being oversensitive and overjudgmental with terms they don't even try to understand; the practice of incest is prohibited in most countries in real life for the risk of malformed children born of inbreeding, while two step-siblings don't share DNA, and thus can conceive a healthy child. It's just some borders put by society out of its need to expand their prejudice. Of course a review on Kiss xSis must also contain an opinion on incest, but moving on... While I'm fine with step-siblings romance, this show has found the worst way of portraying it.

This story revolves around Keita Suminoe, whose goal is to enter the same high school as his step-sisters, Ako and Riko, and of course, live a normal life. However, Ako and Riko are in love with him, in quite a yandere fashion, going as far as to becoming infamous in Keita's middle school, for constantly coming to confess their feelings. Over and over. To make the harem picture complete are: Miharu Mikuni, a... meek girl introduced only for fanservice (in lack of better terms); Yuzuki Kiryu, Ako and Riko's young homeroom teacher, who is desperately trying to keep the step-siblings from getting together due to her belief that they are blood siblings, but later founds herself smitten with him; and Mikazuki Kiryu, Yuzuki's younger sister and Keita's underclassmen, cause there has to be a loli character for an anime harem.

Basically, everything about this anime is Ako and Riko trying to get in Keita's pants a little harder than the other girls. This, to the point flashing their lingerie or even bare breasts in front of their younger stepbrother comes as the most natural thing to do, and would sometimes try to engage in sexual intercourse too. This can't even be labeled as a comedy, despite all the embarrassing situations in which our characters find ourselves into, for they are mostly sexual. And frankly, at one point, the sister's desperate attempts at their brother become annoying in time.

If I was reviewing a hentai, I would have given it 10. But, as an anime, Kiss x Sis provided me little to no enjoyment, so I'm giving it a 2.
