Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone

I love 'Yosuga no Sora'. Be it the soft-hentai or if its the story itself. Many people cannot get over the fact that there is lack of character development and class and as such. But, I don't think that is the main point of 'Yosuga no Sora'. Its last episode especially. It lets an individual judge what is 'Right' and what is 'Wrong'. To be judged by others that it is 'Wrong' or to stay true to yourself.After all, it is 'Incest'. Not every individual is able to adapt to the idea itself. But, the irony comes in whereby, "Is it wrong to stay true to whom you love?" Or is it 'Right' to lie to yourself and be judged 'Correctly' by society itself. Not everyone is capable of answering the above question or even comfortable with it. That's where the anime also comes in, as it refines and indicates your own views on that is 'Right' and what is 'Wrong' to you. On a side note, I am very open-minded. And I welcome all kinds of 'Love' and am not affected by the very society I live, if not, we live in. I can answer the question easily. I rather stay true to whom I love than lie to myself. Even if its Incest.

First of all, lets make things clear. THERE ARE SEX SCENES WITHIN THIS SERIES!! and this component usually makes people want to simply watch this series as a hentai. If you are planning on doing so, you will be trading a GREAT anime with a HORRIBLE hentai because those scenes are short and not very exciting. Instead, the sex scenes create an unique mood for the story development. Story 9/10 Yosuga no sora was originally a PC visual novel, this means that the story cannot possibly lack content. The story is very unique, instead of having a million girls liking the main character at the sametime, the story focuses on one heroine for a few episodes then goes back to a "save point" and starts a new story with the next one. I have to split the art part into two. General art (how the characters look) 8/10 Mood art (what makes the current situation or story more interesting)10/10 The art of this anime is capable of completely expressing the character's feelings. The artist is not simply making the characters blush and changing the eyes and eyebrows to express a character's emotions. Instead, the artist uses the body language of the characters. ( the way a character is standing, sitting, lying down, getting f**ked) Sound 9/10 The voice acting for most characters is very satisfying. The background music and sounds were generally good. ( with a few scenes that have great background music and sounds) The opening is one of my favorite anime openings. The op song beautifully expresses the general feeling of this anime. Character 10/10 In general (because I might flood the review with my own opinions and lower the quality since i have too much to say）The character portrayal is great, partially thanks to the art; each character has a very unique and attractive personality which also makes the individuality of the characters extremely strong. Enjoyment 9/10 The only thing holding me back from giving this series a 10/10 for enjoyment is the intense conflicts made one episode seem very long and made me want to take a break. Which is also the reason this anime is enjoyable. Overall 9/10 I would suggest this series to everyone, especially people who likes interesting conflicts and romance. PS: The visual novel is still much better so why not give the VN a chance while you're at it. Both the art and music are amazing and the stories are more developed in the VN :D

Normally I don't review series, even if I really love them, but one very negative review on this series that I bumped into prompted me to want to give it as much credit as possible. I am a 18 year old girl. I love anime, but I'm not anti-social or any other stereotype that really fits otaku. I have plenty of friends who think anime in general is weird. And I, possibly the most 'normal' out of all my otaku friends, LOVED this anime. The art is amazing. especially when contrasted with the characters. I adored how they made the lead male a bishi without havinghis character be a total soft-hearted pussy, like they do in almost every harem anime I've ever seen! That being said, normally I don't even go for harem anime, but this one was very... sincere? I think that's a good way to put it. It really made the best of each arch, so that I felt good and satisfied when the happy ending was reached for each pairing. Even the twincest arch, which I'd never have pinned myself as being a particular fan of. On top of all this, the voice acting is very high quality. A lot of the time, what I find in more obscure anime, especially ones like this, is that they supplement their budget by having crappy voice actors. Not Yosuga no Sora. The voice acting was actually very noticeably better than even some mainstream stuff out there. Overall, I'd say the rating should depend on what you're looking for. When I try to rate anime, I do it based on how someone looking for that genre would rate it. Like, I wouldn't grade Code Geass by the same criteria I would grade Princess Princess. So, that being taken into account, this is an awesome series for those who can go into it with an open mind, and look at the good qualities. The soft-core porn is just a bonus XP

I am at lost for words for this anime.. Hmm.. Give me a moment. Ok now, I was expecting this to be a harem themed anime but unfortunately, the whole "Give each girl a seperate arc" theme that Amagami SS brought in ruined the whole harem genre. However, at least this new style killed many "THIS IS GOING TO END LIKE SCHOOL DAYS!" trolls along with it. Story 6/10 Believe it or not this actually have a story to it! And a pretty decent one too! However if you're a pacifist then Im sure you'll enjoy it because it deals with a lot of negative emotionssurrounding the characters. And did I mention Incest? Yes, like many Autumn line up this year, this one is incest themed, but only for the final arc. Most probably if you read the other reviews, they would have given a low rating due to "promoting incestuous relationship" Hey, Im ok with incest, Im ok with homosexuality, but I am definetely not ok with Incestuous homosexuals! (Luckily for me, this anime has none) Back to the story, every important girl in this anime is given the arc, even the maid in her little amusing chibi skit. (Except for the class president. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LIKE HER!) And in each arc, Haru here, a.k.a Mr I Dont Know How To Lock Doors When Having Sex, will get down (No not that geddan spastic dance) with each girl. I think that's another reason why most people (including me) gave it a bad review. The sex scene was so unexpected an really... REALLY.. not needed. But does make up for a good fanservice and I know a lot of you pervert out there ain't complaining. Art 7/10 Like any visual novel adapted into an anime, art is one important aspect. Basically, I would even watch an anime with cruddy story plot if the art is outstanding (Which reminds me of Shukufu no Campbella) Nevertheless, the art is one of the positive side about this anime. It is exceptionally well done. Sound 7/10 Besides the sound of girls moaning and Haru having sex, the choice of BGM for each scene is quite melancholic. I definitely would be adding this anime OST to my list. Character Like every harem, each girl has their own unique set of.. Urmm.. racks... Forget about that. Each girl portrays one of the many fetishes modern day otakus have. There's a gothic like lolicon. There's a cheerful miko. There's a glasses girl (Seriously, glasses? I still dont understand the sexual attraction on this one) There's a high class lady girl, and there;s even a maid! (Sorry but no props to the class president) And the head of all this girls is the harem boss himself, Haru a.k.a "He Who Definitely Never Watched Porn Before In His Life Thus He Doesnt Know How To Lock Doors But How Come He Knows All Those Sex Positions!" Wow thats a mouthful. Haru as all male harem leads is a kind boy who haven't seen his sister for a very long time and thus use that an excuse to have incestuous relationship with her. Damn, that was genius, I wish I would have known that excuse a long time ago! Enjoyment 6/10 Sorry but I would have given a higher rating if it weren't for all those sex scene that ruined the rewatch value. Trust me, if you wanna fap I suggest you do it with REAL hentai, not this anime. Its ECCHI but not HENTAI Overall 6/10 I dont think any of the female anime viewers would enjoy watching this anime. Even some male viewers are dissing it. I mean c'mon. Tachibana from Amagami SS needed 4 episodes to even kiss a girl (Well some are slightly earlier) but Haru here just needs 1 episode to get laid with her? Anyways Im not here to judge on your anime preference. If you like fanservice, then by all mean GO WATCH IT! If you love loli figures, then by all mean ONLY WATCH SORA'S ARC But if you wanna touch yourself at night, go grab a decent hentai, will you? Haremu Kingu, Signing off!
