  1. The goal of any good storyteller is to challenge their audience, and Yosuga No Sora certainly accomplishes that goal. I don't understand the hate for stories like this, Eromanga Sensei, Oreimo etc., but I can certainly understand how they make us feel uncomfortable, and that is just a testament to the skill of the storyteller. We've been so drawn into the universe of the anime, that we feel connected, as if you are there with the characters, or even ARE one of the characters. Being so connected, and then witnessing something so taboo first hand is supposed to challenge us, supposed to make us feel uncomfortable, and supposed to make us question the nature of love itself. The difference between Yosuga no Sora and something like Oreimo is that in Oreimo, the story is written in such a way as to encourage us to cheer for the taboo union of the characters and then deal with the guilt of doing so, whereas Yosuga no Sora is written to encourage us to feel embarrassed or uneasy with the incestuous relationship between the main characters, and that is brilliantly done through the imagery present in those scenes. It definitely takes a certain level of maturity to appreciate having your own values challenged, and I completely understand how this isn't really an anime that you brag to your friends for enjoying, but then again, stories like this are meant to be a personal experience. I would encourage anyone who watched this anime a few years ago and thought it was gross, to watch it again and view it as a journey rather than just dumb entertainment. You might just find something new, and discover a completely different take on all 12 episodes!
