Impressions:

Well, this is a disaster, but enough of a disaster that it was kind of fascinating to watch in progress. Let me just summarize the high points of the episode and see where you tap out. Haru and Sora transfer in, and every single girl he meets immediately falls in love with him and starts blushing. Then Sora has a flashback to playing with him (her twin brother mind you), ending with them kissing. The next day at school, everybody is too flustered to function and blushes at the thought of having Haru in their class. Haru then goes home where Sora fantasizes about jamming her tongue down his throat, but holds back the urge… until he’s asleep, when she wakes him up and strips in front of him. The episode then ‘ends’ and it continues with a four minute parody ‘episode’ where the maid suddenly begins masturbating.

So. Yeah. Forget undertones here. They couldn’t be more upfront about selling sex and the incest fetish angle unless they had Sora mount Haru herself. I will admit that the music is rather nice and outside of every single girl having their panties turn moist at Haru’s appearance, wasn’t too bad for the first half, aside from being unabasedly porn game. The art was pretty decent for awhile too, and Sora was kind of cute, in that sex-crazed psychopath / angry drunk kind of way. I have no idea what the post ED sequence was though, and honestly, it was more entertaining than the episode itself. I cannot imagine watching this for any reason than to see exactly what insanity they’re going to pull next. Don’t get me wrong, like I’ve said with Bakuman, I think it’s better to be notably awful than to be boringly dull, but good lord, if you watch this, it better be to make fun of it.

Apparently Haru was… unsatisfying.
