In an era of disposable isekai and cookie-cutter rom-coms, Aneki... My Sweet Elder Sister: The Animation remains a fascinating outlier. It is messy, uncomfortable, and beautiful—much like the idea of “family” itself. Miyuki and Haruto’s story won’t be for everyone, but for those who have ever looked at an elder sibling and seen not a guardian, but a fragile human being, this OVA offers a rare, unflinching gaze.
