I mean the age of consent in Japan was 13 at the time the show aired and it's no secret incest isn't as much of a big deal in Japan as it is in the West so yeah.
>>282077154 >only she thinks they are blood-related but they actually aren't)
it was clearly a cope-out they put simply to get around the law
why else would they leave it until last 5 seconds of the final episode
was it even in the original LN?

because anime relationships are built with time that's why fucking romcoms takes a million years to progress. Guess what? Anime sisters are with their brothers since birth, make her pretty and suddenly there's your incestous relationship blooming.

Ashley sparked an imouto renaissance and is more important than kirino is to the whole brother sister relationship dynamic in media then she ever will be and the game isnt even finished yet
If anything oshi no konis the fotm than can go and replace that with kirino if you really want to

Too bad you can't get straight up incest in anime anymore due to Japan's newer stupid laws, even the new Panty & Stocking season tries to downplay the fact that the Demon Sisters were fucking one another in season one

Tokyo is a massive market so anime companies mostly kneel to them and censor their shit just so they can comply with their laws and sell their shit there
>>282092012
I'm pretty sure they can still sell, just not advertise it.
Think of all the eromanga and eroges they wouldn't be able to sell there otherwise.
