The music is the high point of this series. IF CENSORSHIP TURNS YOU OFF, THEN AVOID THIS SERIES ALTOGETHER unless you can get your hands on the Blu-ray version. One caveat, though: this is another one of those shows that censored its contents for the TV broadcast to bait gullible otaku into buying Blu-rays to see naughty bits, so keep that in mind. The animation is simple but is sufficient in a fanservice show such as this. It's not an action series, so there weren't any impressive feats either. The characters look cute and appealing, the backgrounds are nice and detailed. The animation and character designs do their job. Overall, nothing too interesting about the story. This is second season baiting in its finest. All the plot points that get brought up along the way - why the ghost had to possess the sister, why the ghost loves the older brother, why the childhood friend came back and is hinted to be able to see the ghost, why the silent girl seems to know everything that's going on, etc. What results is a bland, tired, and frankly boring-to-watch incest fanservice show that is entirely forgettable. Instead, it's used simply as a device to make sure the "fanservice quota" for each episode is fulfilled. The aspect that could have been unique and set the series apart - the part about the ghost - is never fully explored. The premise has potential, but the series never builds upon it, instead relying on tired tropes: dense/stupid main character (the brother), tsundere (the little sister), a childhood friend whose main features are her big breasts, a perverted best friend, an annoying ghost, a silent book-reading girl, etc., etc. The thing about this series is that it does not break any new ground whatsoever. Mysterious missing parents and ecchi, incesty hijinks involving a chastity belt then The setup is pretty standard, but the catch is that the younger stepsister gets possessed by a ghost who's in love with the older brother, is forced to make moves on the brother to send her new poltergeist companion to the next life, and ends up falling in love with him in the process. Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga (or the shorter English title "Recently, My Sister is Unusual") follows the story of a young girl and an older boy who become step-siblings due to their parents marrying each other. Overall, this anime was a good watch, and I would gladly suggest it to all of my friends. Though I would mostly recommend this to ecchi fans, it's still incredibly funny and can be enjoyed by many more. This anime is a great combination of genres, and you will definitely enjoy its constant bursts of humor. The character types are rather common, but that does not make them boring by any means. I especially enjoyed the difference in Mitsuki's The voices were easy to listen to and matched the characters very well. The art was not hard to look at, but some scenes were just a little off in appearance and the way characters bodies were drawn. For example, if you would simply watch the ending theme all the way through, you would learn all you need to know about Hiyori's past. Although, people seem to complain about not knowing the answers to questions, although they are right in front of them. This anime, unlike many other ecchi anime, has a story line that is not difficult to follow.
