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.
