Premise: Hashima Itsuki is a light novelist obsessed with little sisters despite not having one. He often hangs out with a friend group consisting of other light novelists.

The Good: I remember thinking Nayuta was decent compared to the mediocrity of the rest of the cast. A Sisters All You Need was also at its best when the characters were sitting around playing board games, which didnt happen nearly often enough.

The Bad: This is an ecchi anime, but in my opinion it isnt a very good one. The girls get naked sometimes but only one scene felt remotely sexy. Anything about the characters being writers also felt very surface level. Like, hed say he was behind on a deadline and thered be a scene of him typing and then phew, he made it. The whole sister angle always felt tacked on, too, like the creator was grasping for something to make the premise stand out. One characters background is that he tailors his work to what people want rather than what hes passionate about. Thats exactly what this anime felt like, a soulless fill-in-the-blank story to hit various market trends.

Overall: A Sisters All You Need had some okay character interactions when the characters were just hanging out, but too often it was simply boring. Itsuki himself wasnt any fun at all, and since hes the lead that meant he dragged down everyone else by association.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
(233: Airing anime placeholder.)
M5: This movie should have stayed dead.
232: This anime wasnt a very good spy.
231: This anime tripped over the last hurdle and lost the race.

(232 was the most difficult one to do a hint for so far, I'm sorry it's so uncreative)

(I'm watching ten airing anime this season. Since they'll finish long before the ranking does, I wanted to include them. They only have placeholder spots at the moment, though. Once they finish I'll do their write-up and maybe shift them around in the ranking if needed. For now, I'll do movie write-ups in their place.)
