Isn't this subject kind of taboo?

Guess I'm unclear on things. So the poll is which little sister anime character you would want as your little sister? Or simply what is your favorite character who happens to be a little sister of another character? Also why was it mostly men that voted in that Japanese poll?

This.

They may have voted more but from the numbers I see the difference is not great, I guess because men watch anime more than women?

I have the impression most of them just voted characters of their favorite series.

I...I don't like any of the three winners. I'll vote randomly, I guess.

I just can't help but think that there is something sexual to it. When looking up the finalists....

Kobato Hasagawa (has a brother complex)



Shiro (kisses her brother who describes her as a flawless beauty in the 6th episode)



Misaka 10032 (in love with Touma, though she is a clone of a sister...don't understand)

Shiro and Sora are apparently not related by blood.
Kobato has a brother complex which happens kinda often in Anime.
Misaka 10032 is just the "little sister" of Mikoto Misaka so no problems here. Your picture shows neither Misaka Imouto nor Mikoto though. It is a spell.

Well, it's not like you're totally wrong.
It seems like that recently the brother-sister relationship has something sexual to it (did someone say Oreimo?).
But here we're voting for the very reason you said before: voting for the one who we would like to have as little sisters. :D

P.S: Akari, you fought well. T_T

Yeah, it's rare to find a sister in a anime who is not a brocon these days... it sells apparently.

There are almost always subtexts.

Still I admit that the line between sane brotherly love and the brocon one is really thin.

Still I nominated Momo from TLR, I'd like a lil sister that willingly creates a harem for me.

If I'd had a sister that was super hot with a brocon, I wouldn't be able to resist (a la Kiss x Sis).
Then again I don't have sisters, so I won't know how normal brothers feel.

I think the brocon/siscon thing is somewhat common fantasy which may be why it creeps in anime all the time. Like what if that super hot girl you like was actually your sister, looked up to you, and called you onii chan? Of course living with her you may catch her in various states of undress, and who knows what would happen? However in reality, regardless of how attractive the general public finds her, you won't ever look at your sister that way.

You would resist, and likely be disgusted. It's just the way biology works.

Must be due the anime's recent popularity, but totally deserved! She will go down as one of the best in history no doubt. :nod
