Watch Episode 12 Oniichan no Koto nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!!

Anime based on Kōichi Kusano's online manga to premiere next month

Starchild Records, the anime label of the music company King Records, began streaming a television commercial for the Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne—!! anime series on Tuesday. http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/oniichan/

The anime adapts Kōichi Kusano's online manga of the same name, which centers around the "slightly dangerous relationship" between Shūsuke (Toshiyuki Toyonaga), a boy who likes risque books and DVDs, and Nao (Eri Kitamura), Shūsuke's younger sister. The anime will premiere in Japan next month.

ADV's English interpretation is thoroughly professional, but just slightly uninspired. The script sticks close to the subtitles, with just enough looseness to make delivery acceptably smooth, and to allow the actors to have a little fun (including a female clerk that I could swear is a man). Hikari's dual personality comes across well, and the other roles are appropriately cast, if not stellarly acted. Overall the dub lacks the color of the original Japanese, perhaps because it is a little too underplayed for its own good.
Note to those who haven't watched the Japanese version: Yes, the opening narration is just as hideously annoying in the Japanese.
