When Onimai: Now I’m Your Sister was released earlier this year, it faced the unenviable challenge of being the second anime released by Studio Bind. Their first anime adaptation, Mushoku Tensei Jobless Reincarnation, is not only wildly popular but was based on a manga that kickstarted the isekai anime boom, popularizing numerous concepts used in modern isekai. In fact, Mushoku Tensei was so highly anticipated that an entire animation studio, Studio Bind, was created just to work on the series.Unsurprisingly, Mushoku Tensei fans were shocked when Studio Bind announced that they would release a second anime, Onimai: I’m Now Your Sister!, in January 2023. Onimai is a colorful and heartfelt slice-of-life anime that’s stylistically worlds apart from Mushoku Tensei. Nevertheless, Onimai quickly proved it was more than an anime designed to fill the gap between series of Mushoku Tensei. Onimai quickly establishes that it was not just an anime worthy of Studio Bind’s time but one that could be argued is better than Mushoku Tensei.If Onimai is deserving of one criticism, it’s that it doesn’t sell itself very well. On the surface, it would be easy to assume that Onimai is a crass and bad-intentioned anime with a heavy focus on fan service. This absolutely isn’t the case. Early reviews and online opinions compounded the negative sentiment, highlighting the problematic yet endemic nature of forming opinions without having a thorough understanding of the source material or a limited understanding of an anime. Damning an entire series after one or two episodes is egregious, and Onimai deserved better than the ignorance presented in many early reviews.RELATED: Why the Erased Anime Ending Is So Controversial for Manga Readers
