Summary: >

Wataru recently got accepted to a high school, although he had never heard of it. Wataru almost changed his mind once he saw the giant monkey statue watching over the remote island where he would attend school. Yet somehow he ended up going anyway. After a few happenings Wataru finally ended up in a very large house. For a loner like Wataru it was all a bit strange... especially since it turns out that he would end up living with his 12 little sisters that he never knew about.

Sister Princess is more or less based off of a game of the same name which gathered popularity due to the adorable girl characters (I won't even go into the age thing...) How would I sum up this anime? I'd put it like this: "BLEAAAH". You might as well totally write off the first two episodes. They have no direction or point to them - their only purpose is to dump Wataru into the same house with the girls. From there each episode tends to sort of feature a different girl. Each episode tends to basically pander to the audience more than trying to accomplish anything. Don't get me wrong, the girls are cute and all (although I was very unimpressed with the animation), but the stories were very dull. So basically if you just want to gawk at cute (very) young anime girls (6-16), that's about all this title has to offer. And if that's what you want to do, you'd be much better off getting the game which has superior artwork. In defense of this anime, I will point out that it has a humorous moment every now and then, but certainly not enough to pull this title from my sleeping pill alternative list (that reads as BORING).

So it may seem unfair to say all of this despite the fact that I never got past the first volume (episodes 1-4). You know what? Screw you - I ain't watching any more of this! =P I think I'm almost open minded, and I have forced myself to watch bad anime just so I could say I didn't like it for a reason. However I just can't bring myself to watch any more of this title. I can't! I paid my dues in the anime trenches. I watched all the episodes of Hand Maid May for Gods sake, and let me tell you some of my buddies didn't make it out and I just don't want to talk about it. Just DON'T make me watch any more Sister Princess. Yeah maybe it got better like I've said to myself like a million times when an anime starts out weak, and this title has no where to go but up; but I've had my fill of this title, now I just need to go puke it up somewhere.
