This is tough because I want to like Yuragisou no Yuunasan. I started reading the manga earlier last year I think and I remember finding it while not a materpiece enjoyable enough. A light ecchi story with a bit of heart and comedy. This OVA or at least the first part released ahead of the anime itself is a departure from what I believe made the series enjoyable the comedy and doubled down on ecchi. The first episode covers two separate storylines. The first is a gettoknowthecast story and the second is a bit from the manga. Both exist solely to show the viewer dem anime tiddies. If that is all you want from this then make hay however the barebone plot coupled with the poor animation quality mediumdistance scenes have the detail of longdistance in most other shows there is not real detailing in the faces in close ups resulting in a very flatfeeling composition make this OVA a turnoff to the series to the uninitiated. I know this series is better but why would someone who has no contact with this series want to keep watching it based on this uninspired mess? Maybe though Im wrong and the manga is bad too. To be fair the manga I was reading was censored. So everything happened behind steam. I believe in the complied releases of the manga this was removed in favor of a more explicit rendering. Losing that varnish of mystique going from censored manga to this just leaves the series feeling crass and leaves a less familiarized viewer with anime tropes writ large feeling gross for watching it the loliinappearance owner being visibly naked could be considered galling. I must acknowledge that this is supposed to be a releasedwiththemanga product so it makes sense that it is light on everything except fanservice but it doesnt function as a hattip to the faithful reader. It presents itself as an introduction piece to the fulllength anime upcoming and on those merits it fails. There is nothing enticing about this except for the fanservice something I believe will be steamier in the broadcast show so if youre onboard for that only expect to be disappointed. Perhaps I am being to harsh to what is ostensibly a little bonus piece of content but it is so comically uninspired and so tactically being billeted right before the anime airs that harsh feels warranted. This is supposed to be the thing that gets you to tune in or buy the next thing. Instead it is hapless predictable and woefully hollow. Just meeting this character? Youre about to see her boobs. A lot. If you like that give it a watch though Id recommend if that is your goal that you skip around and avoid having to watch the weak connective tissue pulling you from scene to scene. Should My Sister Watch This Anime? No. I dont even want her to know I watched it.
