Y'know, that's actually fodder for a good opinion poll: How many Siscon fans actually have an Onee or Imou?

I think -most- of the odds are anyone who's into Siscon relationships probably doesn't have one. Then again, I could never, ever understand why a lot of guys are hung up on Nuns and Catholic School Girls; they're NEVER that attractive in real life (I studied in Xavier in my Elementary years, the ICA girls next door were hardly anything like the stereotype!)

> WOW, that's nice! Da Capo with Kotori focus? I hope it's as good as the one-shot episode of Tomoyo in Clannad.

I know…a "Kotori ending" OVA seems too good to be real, like the Anime Gods listened to what I really wanted for Christmas this year Now my mortal fear is that no one will sub it, but I'm sure there are enough Kotori fans out there that won't happen. I guess it's actually a two-part OVA, 1st part 12/25/08, 2nd part 3/26/09…definitely looking forward to it.

Hiromi is totally not sisucon, as with Mao. In both cases the couples view each other as close, but non-romantic friends at first. I would stress the term friends. That is not how you view your siblings–your sister is your sibling. It's family.

I think this is a very important distinction if you want to look at a real sisucon pairing, say, Koikaze or Kimikiss's Nana.

To split hairs, there are two very distinct types of sisucon factors. One is the taboo that someone mentioned, the other is actually the childhood friend stereotype. Of course, when the story plays with a foster setup it can get dicey, but it depends on the main character's struggle as to determine the type of relationship.

Sorry I'm late in approving the comments.

@Kabitzin
Hmmm, yup maybe I feel silly for dissing siscon just because the siscon (I mean the sister or the 'siscon path') almost always wins. Kinda shallow, but I'm also trying to make a point though about how cliche "sister" stories are in my insights. When the girl who wins always have the same story about her being the foster imouto or oneechan blah blah, I tend to cringe because it seems the same story from many other similar anime.

@IcyStorm
I only took Akasaka seriously because when it got serious on the story it finally became a good watch. The rest of the series was average IMO.

@53RG10
Well all my examples are actually non-blood-related. I mean "siscon" when the guy treats her as/like a sibling.

@suguru
WOW, that's nice! Da Capo with Kotori focus? I hope it's as good as the one-shot episode of Tomoyo in Clannad.
