Hmm, interesting. I never really knew that. If I had to guess, then she found a really cheap place somewhere (like, a student apartment or something).

I also believe that the reason for the overuse of missing parents is that they give a great excuse of involving the main character with a certain storyline. Most anime is about humans who are special in some way, and most of them became special because their parents were special.

I just watched all of it. It wasn’t anything super special, but it was reaaaaaally sweet. Some parts made me cry too. :]

Yes the sisters are super-clingy but that makes it even more amusing to watch. One thing I’ve always wondered, was why orphaned children living alone is such a popular theme to use. Its used so often in anime.. ( or more than you realize at least)

And how the heck does a 15 year old get an apartment like that??
Can 15 year olds really live on their own in japan??
Thats kinda amusing when you think about it, but not so much for the kid. In japan real estate is priceless.

Ah, yes. Everyone has a different taste. I’m not really fan of pure slice-of-life series, which is why I couldn’t enjoy this one. If you are fan of these series, however, I can imagine that it’ll be a great series to watch. :)

I actually watched it so many times, I got the theme song stuck in my head and can’t get it out! If I do, I start to get “Bye Nikki Bye” stuck. That’s how much I like that Binbou Shimai Monogatari theme. I don’t think that anime is boring. I think it’s actually kind of funny and sad at the same time. I laughed on some parts and cried on others. I sometimes even rewind just to see those funny parts again. I remember the fist third of the first episode.
