question for those watching it: has a girl and her guard dogs quality majorly dropped since the first episode? the last episode was really bad for it (her outfit changed in the middle of a scene, the glasses on her face were there before she was supposed to have put glasses on, in one scene he isnt talking, but his mouth is moving, in another scene her neck was colored in wrong and just matched her hair... the list goes on and on). it makes me sad because i like the source material (as bad as the story would be if it was real life, but it isn't, so we can ignore that), but the studio is really ruining the show. my boyfriend was willing to ignore the fact that the plot is controversial since it looked amazing, but he is considering dropping it due to all of the issues with the animation.

this also comes from the same studio that did higehiro (another controversial one), angel next door, my tiny senpai (didn't watch that one but it didn't look bad quality wise), and many other shows. if this was their first few it would be fine, but it's not.

long post to ask a question, but yeah. anyone else feel that way?

REVIEW | "My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex" - B3 | Boston Bastard Brigade

There is no storytelling premise far more dangerous to showcase than step-siblings that fall in love with one another. Such a tale is like walking on a tightrope over a pool of man-eating sharks, with Bugs Bunny on the other side lighting said rope on fire. I’ve experienced watching a few shows with this concept, with Citrus weakly attempting a yuri romance and Eromanga Sensei going the ole Oreimo route. But My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Exfeels different from those, mainly because said romance already came and went.

Perhaps that’s what makes this comedy feel slightly different from those cringey will they/won’t they step-sibling couplings. But does My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex execute its narrative in a way that helps make it stand apart from the rest of the pack? Sometimes, the answer is yes; other times, well, it’s complicated.

Based on Kyosuke Kamishiro’s light novel series, My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex follows Mizuto (Hiro Shimono) and Yume (Rina Hidaka). In middle school, the two dated for a year, before breaking up due to irreconcilable differences. But the world seemed to want to keep the two together, as Mizuto’s father (Kazuyuki Okitsu) and Yume’s mother (Ai Kayano) decide to wed. Thus the two former lovebirds find themselves living under the same roof, and dealing with their past feelings in a way that’d make the gods laugh at them.

At first, the story treads into old sitcom-y tropes, ranging from attempting to avoid sharing space to not talking to one another at school. But because they need to get along for their parents’ sake, they decide to grin and bear their current situation. It leads them to even play games of chicken, as Mizuto and Yume attempt to falsely woo one another for the sake of — as it’s called in Our Flag Means Death — the art of fuckery. Of course, being a rom-com, these games always blow up in each other’s faces.
