Anime: Momoiro Sisters

Realistic ecchi from a woman's point of view.

Momoiro Sisters' animation is not the best out there. Easy animation, not too detailed and primarily focused on the comedy, they don't pay too much attention to the details. Still, although the only available fansubs are of poor quality, the animation isn't that bad at all and it does fit the style of the series.
There are no reused frames and they don't have recaps, which makes this series a nice watch at least.

The voiceactors might sound a bit odd or poorly casted at first, but they are actually pretty well cast and they do a good job on the characters as soon as you've watched a few episodes and learn to appreciate the characters.
The SFX are done nicely, in a comical way, but the OP (note that AC stripped the OP from the first 7 or so episodes) is pretty addictive. Margaret is nice, fast and pretty well done, with even fitting lyrics for the series itself - if you bother reading them while humming along.

The story is not much of a story, but instead are mainly focused on the comedy part of the two sisters living in the same house. This results in a bunch of episodes from the point of view from both sisters of different age; the main characters. Momoko does it from her highschool (16) point of view, which is mostly about her ideas/problems with the first time, boyfriends, kissing and shaving 'down there', while onee-san Sakura (20-something) as an office-lady is working hard on problems like dieting, regular sex, babies, relationships with colleagues and marriage.
The fun part here is that both Sakura and Momoko are both realistic in terms of being woman themselves and their (im)mature desire for sex and talks about issues which men usually can't even imagine, but they're also the stereotype of women where even men can laugh about, giving this series a nice audience.
Don't expect a story on itself; all episodes are mostly standalones in which they tackle a certain problem where either Sakura or Momoko is coping with. But there are also issues which play over several episodes, not as a main focus, but rather as a sidefocus. And there are just silly episodes, like the jungle-episode, in which nothing makes sense except for the silly verbal ecchiness.
Momoiro Sisters doesn't lower itself to the point where they become hentai in animation - actually, they don't even come close to it, but the main focus of Momoiro Sisters is the verbal comedy. So don't expect any ecchi or hentai scenes; instead, expect some ecchi and very daring conversations or talks about stuff where we usually don't talk about - or only in very selective groups.

While Momoko is the rather innocent, but interested type of girl, her sister is the adult version of her. This results often in teasing over and over about Momoko being a virgin and Sakura not being able to get a steady boyfriend or husband. But both of them do have a fun personality to watch and also the other characters, although flat, are fun to have around. Don't expect much development, but instead watch them for their specific characteristics to make this show fun.

The value isn't much after the first time, but it's still possible to enjoy it - even though you already know all the jokes. Especially with company laughing out loud this series becomes pretty fun again.

I have to admit that the first time I didn't like the humor that much, so I discarded it pretty early on. But after getting into a mood where I could appreciate it more, I also realized that this series was very fun to watch - if you're in the right mood.

this anime is quite hentai. people who are easily offended or affected in anyway by this stuff will find the anime to be a bother. the drawings aren't bad but i've seen better =).

the sound isn't anything special.. its not bad either.. i just don't remember much about it =P

the story.. there isn't much of a story once you get towards the end.. =/.. you can start in the middle of the anime without getting majorly confused i think.. i think its quite creative though, using sisters of two different ages and in different environment everyday. its quite a realistic story to some people actually..

the characters are ones many people can relate to, today. i guess. a lot of them are quite sexual actually.. lol somewhat i find the elder sister disturbing for gaining the joy out of squeezing other female's breasts but maybe that's just me.

momoiro sisters isn't a waste of time, its short and before you know it, its over. its funny, makes you giggle here and there but people that are completely against dirty stuff might find it lame.

Cute, interesting, but not very unique.

I picked this one up mostly because it had short episodes that were "easy-watch." I notice that many of these mini-episode series tend to either be works of art, or average junk that gives nothing but a few laughs. Momoiro Sisters stands somewhere in between those two categories, so I suppose these sorts of series can have exceptions as well.

Love, sex, and *ahem* proctology...

Momoko and her sister live together. The days in high school and the days in the office seem to be filled with new experiences, from running into yaoi manga readers to getting lost at sea. Strangely enough, these are things that can happen in life, with all of the dirty joking to go along with them.

The humor in this series stays clear of the Green Green TV category in animation, but it gets almost as repulsive in dialogue. I like it, but many people may just find it stupid or silly stuff to make them feel dumb. The first 5 episodes are an introduction to the girls and their lives, followed by story arcs of their developing relationships. There is no real meaning in this show, but its charm and comedy are its strongest appeals as a whole.

For 24 five-minute episodes it takes roughly 2-3 hours to watch on a spree. Watching it over a long time would be pretty pointless, since the story doesn't develop enough. I found it difficult keeping any lasting memory of what happened in the previous episode.
Rewatchability: Low. It's funny at first, but gets drier later on, so it's not worth watching again.

Characters, animation, and sounds.

The characters are this anime's greatest strength. The personalities are thin, but manage to be both cute and easy to relate to. In particular, they seem to mirror the sexual behavior of adults.

The minor cast is so minor that it's not even worth mentioning. As for the vocals, everyone voice acts very well throughout the series. I don't believe there were any annoying seiyuu, or at least there aren't any I can think of as of now.
Dull background music. Couldn't find anything worth listening to, although it's hard to believe there could be a well developed OST for a series as small as this one anyways. Actually the music is fair enough that it doesn't really need anymore. The only things I'd definitely keep are the OP and ED, which seem like fun songs to hear.

Okay animation, and an okay anime.

Well it also is the encodes I got, but the difference between the opening animation and the actual animation is incredible. The opening has clear distinct lines and vivid colors, versus the somewhat desaturated and dull-looking animation. The flow of it looks good, and the character designs are nice. They get a little out of hand like Kare Kano, but not quite that crazy even then.

Also, the ending is completely broken off from the rest of the story. Not only does the ending of the original story suck, but the following episode is even weaker.

Recommendation: Well, anyone who likes ecchi can enjoy this. Anyone who likes dirty comedy can enjoy this, too. Otherwise, click animelist and start looking for other titles.

I have to warn you, Momoiro Sisters is probably not suitable for the younger audience and immature adults. Momoiro Sisters has a lot of fun to offer if you're not too sensitive and if you're not a native English speaker it will probably also enrich your vocabulary.

While the animation isn’t spectacular it does exactly what it should, it's not good or bad just fitting. The OP song is nice and the voice acting is great as usual in anime.

Momoiro Sisters doesn't really have a story. The story rather follows the sisters and their friends’ desires in the finding a boyfriend department and all that come with having a boyfriend. The elder Momoiro sister has a great ability to associate from a tiny kiss all the way to the big act and then beyond, she also doesn't have a boyfriend and is starting to get too old (erm). The younger sister is worried because she hasn't done it yet but most of her classmates have. Then there’s the workmate with large breasts who has a problem with men not seeing past those very breasts. Etcetera!

Momoiro sisters lose some of the fun toward the end but the first two thirds are easily worth a 10 in enjoyment.

You'll laugh your ass off seeing Momoiro Sisters. There lots of dirty jokes and the characters abilities to associate are simply fascinating.
