The Shiunji Family Children
Oshimeter
Synopsis
As the sole brother in a wealthy family of seven siblings, Arata Shiunji is constantly reminded by his sisters that he's hopeless with romance. Pretty standard older-brother-gets-roasted energy, until their father drops a bombshell at the youngest sister's birthday party: none of them are actually related by blood. Every single one of the seven was adopted. They all agree nothing has to change. they're still family, right? Yeah, that lasts about five minutes before the sisters start looking at Arata a little differently. This is a 12-episode TV series from Doga Kobo, the studio that consistently nails expressive character animation, and it shows. The girls each have distinct personalities and their own reasons for gravitating toward Arata, so the dynamic doesn't just feel like a generic lineup. The comedy hits well, and there's a genuine thread about what family actually means when biology is off the table. It stays lighthearted without completely dodging the emotional weight of its premise. If you liked The Quintessential Quintuplets for the multi-girl romantic tension with actual character development, this scratches a similar itch. Fans of Rent-A-Girlfriend's messy relationship dynamics will find familiar ground here too, though the tone is warmer and less anxiety-inducing. The adopted-siblings angle gives it a flavor closer to Oreimo's taboo-adjacent territory, but played more for comedy than controversy. Worth your time if harem romance with a strong hook is your thing.

Overall it's a good anime to watch, and i really wanted the dog arc for a change, well, we might still get that chance in the next season..
This anime is much better than Rent-a-Girlfriend. Arata isn't nearly as lame as Kazuya both visually, intellectually, or emotionally.
I thought it was a bit surprising how easily Arata found her in that thick fog, but the backstory between them was actually really funny.
"i knew you were a gorilla, i dont have any bananas for you" 😂 She is honestly so funny...
the first half of the episode feels very dry, compared to the tennis drama, anyway the animation is honestly amazing I wish this studio would animate some action animes as well..
I really thought Minami was going to help the team win, but they didn't manage to pull it off. If they had won, it would have been a completely different story. It’s such a disappointment!..
This episode was excellent. It captures the reality that trying your best doesn't always guarantee a win, but you don't necessarily need a victory to create a lasting memory. Additionally, the animation holds up well compared to other titles in this genre.
Seiha’s decision to turn a science experiment into a game was a brilliant. It perfectly highlights her Itsuki-like studiousness while pushing the boundaries of the harem genre.
Am I the only one to notice that these characters feel familiar, they perfectly resemble the 'The Quintessential Quintuplets'. You can easily map them out by Banri is the Ichika, Ouka is the Nino, Kotono is the Miku, Minami is the Yotsuba, and Seiha is the Itsuki of the group.🤔
This episode is more about the sisters fighting, the drama is getting high and the animation of the eyes is very good for each characters
Arata’s face strongly resembles Kazuya’s from Rent-a-Girlfriend. Since they share the same creator, I suspect this season might lean into the same slow pacing without many major developments..
This episode feels like a fantasy of being surrounded by five beautiful sisters; it effectively blends high-society melodrama with harem. Furthermore, the animation and character designs are virtually flawless
Coming from the same Author as Rent a Girlfriend i just hope this anime doesnt flop in the end, or have weird pacing, as far as episode 1 its just same like any other harem romcom anime
It tries to be funny + chaotic family comedy, but for me it ended up feeling more like: “Help step-family, I don’t like this energy.”
Love War’ lays the foundation here. Arata is so confused and blushing throughout this 12-episode anime, but the real plot starts here. This is a wholesome episode.
Seiha is noticing everything! Banri isn’t wasting any time flirting with Arata. In this episode, our hero is confused about one of the sisters.
happy ending !! with the confession wholesome romance and comedy with best visual of anime world.
honestly if you are like episode that have night adventure travel you will like this one , but shione character why wearing cap everytime.
wholesome banger episode !!! This might be one of the best episodes I’ve ever watched. It has everything — horror, comedy drama — all packed into one story with the whole family involved. The mix of emotions keeps it entertaining from start to finish,
The whole episode mainly focuses on the schoolgirl Minami and the problems she is facing, I wouldn’t call the episode boring—it is actually well-balanced and meaningful. However, compared to the previous episodes, it may feel a little slower.
