■Review

"I Don't Like You at All, Big Brother!!" is a romantic comedy anime that depicts the humorous and slightly erotic daily life of a brother and sister. The main character, Shusuke Takanashi, is a healthy boy who loves erotic things, and his sister, Nao Takanashi, seems to enjoy Shusuke's actions. Furthermore, Shusuke's childhood friend, Ayaka Tsuchiura, returns after 10 years and behaves abnormally, such as seducing Shusuke and observing his room with a telescope. This love triangle is joined by Shusuke's classmate, Mayuka Kondo, who loves boys' love, and a non-stop romantic comedy unfolds.

The charm of this anime is, above all, its humorous story and the individuality of its characters. There are plenty of scenes that will make you laugh, such as Shusuke's naughty behavior, Nao's reaction to it, and Ayaha's strange behavior. In addition, Kondo Mayuka's setting as a fan of boys' love also provides a new perspective to the work.

Animation studio ZEXCS paid special attention to the character designs and movements, particularly Shusuke's naughty actions and Iyaha's seduction scenes, which are depicted very realistically. Sound effects by sound director Yasunori Ebina also add to the humorous atmosphere of the work.

Music is also an important element that enhances the appeal of the work. The opening song "Taste of Paradise" features the impressive singing voice of Takanashi Nao (CV: Kitamura Eri), further enhancing the atmosphere of the work. The ending song "Ari Ari Mirai☆" is sung by three people, Takanashi Nao (CV: Kitamura Eri), Tsuchiura Ayaha (CV: Inoue Marina), and Kondo Mayuka (CV: Aranami Kazusa), and is a song that symbolizes the theme of the work.

Overall, "I Don't Like You at All, Big Brother!!" is a very enjoyable romantic comedy anime that depicts the daily lives of a humorous and slightly naughty brother and sister. There are plenty of scenes that will make you laugh out loud, especially Shusuke's naughty behavior, Nao's reaction to it, and Ayaha's strange behavior. Kondo Mayuka's character's love of boys' love also adds a new perspective to the work. The animation production, sound effects, and music also add to the appeal of the work, making it a very well-made work overall.
