Synopsis:
When Konoe Moyako and her little brother, Akira, were young, he said he wanted to marry her. Naturally, Moyako decided that her little brother was a complete pervert who was obsessed with her. Now that they're both teenagers, Moyako is convinced she needs to "rehabilitate" him. However, it seems that the "perversion" is entirely in her imagination, and she can't seem to help turning completely innocent situations into creepy ones in her mind! (Source:MAL)

Short Review:
The story begins with older sister Moyako believing her younger brother Akira is pervert who loves her, such as believing that her brother asking for shampoo so she sees him naked now imagine this situation and multiply it by nine, that the show in a nut shell.


Overall I found the setting to be an interesting idea since the monologues Mayako thinks up are so strange they become unbelievable at times such as having a secret language around a ‘soccer’ game to talk about perverted things, ideas like this are what keep this short series fun to watch. However these situations can get progressively repetitive if you watch the series back to back, since nothing else happens within the show to keep it interesting, there’s no character development or strange plot twists due to the nature of the series as well as the length being only three episodes that leads to no ending with no sequel attached.

Though speaking of character development, I found the character do be one of the better aspects of the show as they are well thought-out characters that keep the series from being in the pit of mediocrity thanks to well written dialogue and fun personalities from a half Japanese girl obsessed with Japanese culture, to the childhood friend playing the straight man. Even though this do sound like plain archetypes they really add to the series effectively. However this can’t be said for the character designs which are plain at best, using designs we’ve all seen before, this could also be said about the animation as well, being decent at best.

The art on another note was a nice change from a standard style, being slightly different enough that it gels with the overall tone of the show, which can also be said for the soundtrack that helps carry the overall tone of the show well enough.

In conclusion I can recommend this to anyone looking for a good laugh and any who are interested in a different and fun setting. 

Final Scores:
Setting/Story: 6.7
Characters: 6.7
Animation/Art: 6.4 
Sound: 6.2

Final Verdict: 6.5/10
