I read Chris Tribbey's DVD review of Sister Princess:Vol 1 Oh Brother at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=12949 and thought it was worth pointing out that Sister Princess is not shoujo as the review claims. The show's original basis is a manga that ran in Dengeki G magazine, a shounen manga anthology that focues almost entirely on bishoujo (pretty girls). Also available is a romance simulator game obviously aimed at guys, where you really do "put yourself in Wataru's shoes". Essentially, this element of the series is supposed to be its main appeal - the show is based squarely in male fantasy, despite the rather prominent elements it may have that appeal to female audiences.

Thanks for the post! I'll make the correction.....looks like I'm using that term too loosely....

I just recently bought Sister Princess after reading an article about it in the NewTypeUSA magazine. It intrigued me since I had recently heard a little about this and seen some pictures at anime fan sites.

As said, all the characters are extremely adorable and cute. I envy Wataru. Of course, I can also understand why he wants to escape. Having attention is great, but too much of a good thing can be bad for you. But I'm glad he does eventually come around and learn to appreciate his sisters attentions. Anyway, a great movie with funny antics and lively as well as soothing music.

4.5 out of 5 for this reviewer.
