Lots of recent animes have been bringing up the topic of romance between siblings, whether they are blood related or not, and it is yet uncertain, at least to me, what they are trying to accomplish by doing so.
For example, the currently ongoing Yosuga no Sora (an omnibus style anime) features a sibling romance as its main arc.
So I ask you forum members of Animesuki, what does incest in anime mean to you?
Do you find it an appealing topic to approach in anime? Would you mind if it became a staple of the anime industry?
Is the taboo of such a "forbidden romance" expired? Meaning, are the worries about it grounded on nothing? Should we care if anime leisurely explores this topic?
Lastly, has anime, more often than not, done the topic of sibling romance justice? Has it been portrayed well?
JUST SOME GENERAL RULES
