Title: The Incest Genre in Anime...
Post by: Dys on July 12, 2011, 09:15:31 am
There's been quite a few of these pop up over the last year or two, in varying degrees.

I'm curious to know as to what our members or our downloaders think in general about the genre.

The explicitness has been gauged by a lot of different anime.

KissXSis - Extremely ecchi but not blood related.

Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai - Very innocuous, usually carrying hints at best, but revolving around blood relation.

Onii-chan no koto nanka zenzen suki janain dakara ne!! - Very ecchi again, along the same lines as KissXSis, but less sisters.

Yosuga no Sora - While a lot of the series revolved around relationships with other girls, the final arc dealt directly, and in a very explicit fashion, with blood related incest between siblings.

Aki-Sora - Trying to be serious, failing, basically hentai but without the genitalia.

I, myself, am a huge fan of Ore no Imouto, I'm also quite fond of KissXSis and Onii-chan no koto. I find the way that the genre is presented in ones like YnS and Aki-Sora to be far too over the top and in your face.

Your thoughts?

Agree with Akashic, but imo as long as the anime is good I don't really care about incest or not lol

@Akashic of the ones you mentioned, OreImo is also my favorite.

With all the different spins on the subject it seems like everybody wanted to cash in on the genre in the same year. It was a little too much at once for my liking. By the time Onii-chan no Koto came around, I was tired of the theme.

An older series Koi Kaze (2004) was interesting in how seriously it took the matter. It had a lot more drama than the lighthearted recent examples of the genre.

I found KissXsis, Onii-chan and Yosuga No Sora all very entertaining, because i've honestly had such thoughts myself. (I don't have a sister, but i honestly wish i did, could never follow through with incest though.) Can you guys also explain what happened at the end of YnS? I thought they died in the lake..

Apparently Sora managed to get them to shore, which is where Haru wakes up, after that it cuts to the rest meeting on way to school talking.

Turns out Haru and Sora went somewhere else to start over a new life together.

I like that ending better than them dying.. Still not as good as him and Nao though.

i do agree that an ending with nao would be better, but  when you think about it the ending with him and Sora seems more suiting, considering the anime starts with them,it seems only fitting for it to end with them :)

I think the part that bugged me about the ending for YnS is it felt like it was even MORE sexual than with any of the other girls, which I find odd, considering that, of all the girls, you would have thought it would have been more about romantic love.

yeah, compared to the other girls, there relationship was waaaay more sexual, I actually would have preferred if it was less sexual, but what can you do XD

I think Yosuga no Sora is the "hardcore" among on the anime on the list of Incest anime...

You ought to watch Aki-Sora. I can assure you, it's even more "hardcore".

Incest.
Wincest.
Twincest.

I'm completely okay with the genre of incest... But when I think about it in real life... *shivers*

lol, there's a lot of things that people like in anime that they might not like in real life.

loli, for instance.

In good anime, it is not called 'Incest'.

It's WINCEST.

I couldn't help it.

I do wonder why no one said Angel Sanctuary though. The epic mix of Shojo/Shounen should appeal to most, but I feel that the idea of incest in that story is driving them away. Not going to do much of a spoiler but I feel that the ending to that manga was the best I've seen in years.

Just saying. If it was mentioned, I apologize.

Angel Sanctuary is one of my first touches to incest as a theme in a story. The manga, while I haven't finished it, is still one of my top favourites. Rather than driving me away, the theme made me more interested, since it's such a strong taboo. Yosuga no Sora is another story where I find that incest as a theme is well handled and interesting, though I've only seen the 3 first episodes. At that point I decided to stall it and some day watch it all at once, since I like those opening episodes so much.

There was this one VN that had incest. A young man's younger sister was dying of disease and so he spends as much time with her as possible. It's a hentai (I believe). The story was pretty good until the end.

My only funk with it can be found in the spoiler (As it's the end.)

Koi Kaze, to my knowledge, remains still the best and the most serious in talking about that subject.

InfinityStream, I believe you're referring to Kana - Little Sister (http://www.peachprincess.com/kana-little-sister-7.html). I've been meaning to check it out, despite my dislike for tragedy, since it's received quite a lot of praise.

I'd forgotten the name for some time.

Thanks for reminding me.

Yeah there are many incest animes at the moment, some which was fine watching like Onii Chan and KissxSis,
Yosuga no Sora was... different, but could still be worse..

and then there are those which overall sucked (IMO)
Aki Sora
Aki Sora Yume no Naka
Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru (I love my younger sister) <--- was even worse than Aki Sora..

some other titles (haven't watched) goes all the way back to 2000-2003, so its not only in the newer times:
Koi Kaze
Candy Boy
Please Twins (Onegai Twins)
Angel Sanctuary

If its a fair amount of incest, then nothings wrong, but some are crossing the line..

Long live incest, wincest, twincest and any genre of immoral relationships between close relatives depicted in animé.

On that note, I must reiterate that Yosuga no Sora is THE BEST ANIMÉ OF ALL TIME.

Onii-chan no Koto... is ugly.
Yosuga no Sora is good.
KissXSis is great -- though I think some people don't consider this as wincest.
Another mild one that I liked is Ore no Imouto.

Kiss X Sis was not that great... But the OVAs were  ;D

Post by: Kuroneko on July 23, 2013, 10:51:43 am
Right i agree Kiss X Sis was not that too revealing but the OVA's were
Like too much RoMantism if there were such a word.

But What i like most of all is Yosuga no sora Ecchi but has a good story
that touches your heart
