KissXSis - I need more Riko!

by feal8724. February 2011 21:00

Hello,

Let's explore a new manga/anime series that aired last year and got quite a nice number of followers due to his rather interesting story concept. (at least for a tv broadcasted anime) 

It's name is KissXSis (got a 12 episodes TV adaptation and a couple of OVA) and it's a work from Bow Ditama.

Let's start with the always present synopsis :

The story centers on Keita, a third-year middle school boy studying for his high school entrance exams. His older two twin stepsisters Ako and Riko Suminoe - with no blood relation to him - help him prepare for the exams, but life gets too cozy between Keita and the girls.

Well this synopsis, while short, summaries very well the focus of the series that is comedy and fanservice. (no much romance here unfortunately for us)

This is a rather effective comedy based over the various misunderstanding and provocations made by the two sisters to Keita during his test preparation period (and likely will continue also after the test period Cool)

The characters are funny and you'll end up loving each one of them, they do not have much growth through the series unfortunately as expected by a pure comedy series.

My favourite one is Riko (the younger twin) for her cute face and her blunt and explicit personality against anyone.

But let's not forget that there are other characters in the story that have some focus during the series and got quite a lot of blog talking. (Like Miharu and her antics)

The graphical department as you can see it's top notch for both characters and objects, the animation is also consistent through all the episodes with some minor screw up.

The opening and ending animation were quite funny, I loved the cg ending with the two sisters dancing on the tune of "Our steady boy" of YuiKaori!

The seiyuu in this series are not the most famous (except for the seiyuu of Azunyan), but nevertheless do a good job portraying the characters and their emotion.

I loved especially the Riko's seiyuu named Yuiko Tatsumi (the only other important role she got is as Ayame Satsuki in Seikon no Qwaser) and a bit Ako's one named Ayana Taketatsu (famous for her role of Azusa Nakano in K-ON)

KissXSis

Concluding this is a rather interesting and a suggested series if you're into comedies that shift heavily in the fanservice area while this is not a good series for someone new to anime due to massive amount of fanservice present everywhere.

That's all for today!

See you tomorrow,

Both Ako and Riko are good. Need more Mikazuki though.

Mikazuki's wallpapers are quite rare. Need to work harder next time.

I will say this now.

I tried watching the anime twice. Both times, I almost killed myself because the show was so stupid.

That being said, I am an avid fan of the manga. The manga is hilarious. HI LAR I OUS. The show though.....the animated show just blows. It's just.....idk it's more retarded in a blatant fanservice way.

The manga is way better.

Still have to get the manga, but probably will be next shipment. I liked the anime except for some dragging part, but if you say the manga is better I'm looking forward to it!!!

The manga started off kind of dull, but then it gets so ridiculous and awesome that I can't help but laugh with each chapter.

Mhn...well, I'll get all the volumes as soon as I have space in one shipment.
I heard nice reviews also by Micchi about it so yeah, this should be a good buy!!!

This anime is a little bit too ecchi for me... Not my kind of anime.

Agreed that this anime is not for everyone as there is plenty of fanservice.
