Sisters in anime Anonymous 03/09/2023 (Thu) 02:39:53 No. 2815

I was recently watching a shitty jewtube video about this (it was filled with shit opinions), and it made me think about how it feels pretty uncommon to have actually good sister characters in anime. Or at least, its not the first thing that comes to mind for a lot of people. I can think of good bro and brother characters easily, but good sister characters is a bit more uncommon and unusual. I'm not talking about sisters who are merely just attractive, as any red-blooded man in Japan is capable of creating a great waifu regardless if they're a sister or not (though being attractive definitely doesn't hurt). Usually the relationships are a bit harder to do well I feel like, and they're a bit odd. One example of a good sister I thought of was Sanji's sister Reiju from One Piece. I liked her a lot and I felt the way Oda portrayed her was excellent and fitting. She wasn't just >good brother but genderbent It was more like she was genuinely kind and had a feminine perspective, and did her best for him despite the tough situation she was in, and all the pressure she was under to be someone horrible, and instead she ended up being great for what she did. **Yes I know that the image doesn't really spotlight her as much as it does Sanji's mom, sue me; Nobody does good fanart). Kill la Kill didn't have a mind-blowingly amazing one with Satsuki and Ryuko, but it was good enough. I liked the ending since it felt impactful and proper, though I felt like Mako was more of a sister to Ryuko throughout the series than Satsuki was if I'm being honest so I'd rather give more credit to her personally. I think Shiro from No Game No Life is excellent, personally. She and Sora work so well together, it just fits, plus they love each other and its cute, funny and sweet how they handle such things. Great dynamic portrayed well imo, they have their own talents and abilities and kinda fight each other playfully for dominance. Plus she's adorable. What do you think of sisters in anime? What are your favorites? Could be blood-related or friendships and relationships that feel close to them being sisters to someone. One can fairly argue someone like Winry from FMA as akin to a sister to the protagonists for example (or at least Hughes' daughter), but I feel that it might get complicated. Can be for any reason, not just the ones I stated. Like simpler, shallow and perverted reasons work too for personal preference of course. I was just trying to think of ones I consider actually good sisters I suppose. I have no idea about Karen Araragi but she has a good design so I'm curious about her personally when I get around to finally watching her series, kek.

>>2815 Reiju's situation is tough since Sanji is tormented yet she can't do much to help else risk becoming another target. It's also weird since Sanji is more caring and nurturing than the sister character with the "feminine perspective" since Judge tried to strip his children of emotion, yet Reiju still seems to have emotions to an extent but is forced to hide them. For examples of good siblings do you think Sakura and Touya Kinomoto are a good template? They still have the typical sibling teasing, yet are very protective. On the topic of sisters, most recently in the Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card manga the "villain" made Akiho into Sakura's sister by rewriting history with time magic and Sakura's own Clear Cards so Akiho could escape her fate and be protected by the Kinomoto family. So the writers are literally ADDING sisters to that franchise far into it. They already re-wrote the thing with the teddy bears to give it more significance so I guess they can't help themselves. Akiho is cute, but she's yet to establish herself as a good sister.

>>2821 >It's also weird since Sanji is more caring and nurturing than the sister character with the "feminine perspective" since Judge tried to strip his children of emotion, yet Reiju still seems to have emotions to an extent but is forced to hide them. Well, Sanji was able to get away from his father and that awful environment so that was likely a big help, that and his mother of course. Reiju was stuck there in that shitheap of a home the whole time while Sanji got to experience the kindness and love of others in the world. Reiju deserves a lot of credit for that. Plus, Sanji learning how awful things could get in his life also helped him understand and ensure that others don't go through such horrible things. In all honesty, Sanji is a contender for the kindest character on the show and that's one of the big reasons he's one of my favorites from the show too >Cardcaptor Sakura I like their relationship from what I remember, but its been so long since I saw it. The last time I really saw it was as a kid. Maybe I need to rewatch it again. >They still have the typical sibling teasing, yet are very protective. From what I remember, that's a good sign at least.
