Yosuga no Sora – 09 (NSFW)

Meet Haruka and his many new friends….

Not much this week, so spent a few hours getting screen shots from episodes one through nine just to get a recap going. Another week another new show to review! I have been watching this series off and on; so far it has been good for me anyway. Even though there are a few graphic scenes throughout this series, the show seems to not be focused on that all the time, which is nice or else it would just fall into the hentai category. That said the animation is really top quality, I love the environments and the music really fits in nicely. Well, on with the recap then!

Episodes one just sets up the plot, introducing Haruka and his twin sister Sora. Their parents recently passed away and that forces them to move into a small village together. Haruka has a few old friends there as well. The first episode ends with Sora sneaking into her brother’s room as she removes her clothing. Leaving everything to the viewers’ imagination, which really made an impact in the aniblogging community.

Now we begin the arc setup, the first being Kazuha, who seems to be a bit of a bossy girl around Akira, often telling her what to do. Episodes two through four revolve around Haruka and Kazuha, mostly telling us how they got together. Her family has a bit of a secret floating around as Haruka finds out she is the older sister of Akira by mistake, hearing them outside the girls’ locker room.

Episodes five through seven follow Akira, the young shrine maiden through a few conversations with her and finds out she lost a pendant he gave her when they were kids. Most of her story is about her finding and meeting her mother again, thanks to Haruka who gets them to do a DNA test.  The test results in negative, and Akira learns she has a different mother. After helping Akira she grows close to Haruka as they return to her house for some extra fun, ending her arc.

Episiode eight follows Nao, a girl that Sora can’t stand due to some events that happened between Haruka and Nao. Sora catches them messing around and stares in shock and demands that she leave, making her hate Nao even more. Nao and Haruka try their best to get Sora to accept them being together, but they find it very hard. The episode ends with everyone at the beach together with Sora staying home.

Recap screen shots!

Haruka gets friendly with the local girls…and Sora shows off her swim suit!

Now onto episode nine, we start with Haruka trying to convince Sora to join them on the beach but she wants to stay home. Haruka leaves her and joins his other friends, as they play volley ball and knocks the ball into the water. He then goes to retrieve the ball but gets pulled in by the current, yeah forgot to say he can’t swim. They get him out of the water and stare at him until Nao jumps in and revives him using CPR. Haruka then returns home and later in the night Sora joins him to sleep close.

“Luke, I am your fatherrr…” and Nao saves the day!!

After Sora saw her brother in danger she wants to stick to him, not wanting him to leave her again. Haruka goes to school as his friends tease him about what Nao did; he leaves school and arrives at Akira’s house as she gives him tickets to the local festival. The next day Sora gets in the way of Haruka as he tries to leave for school and makes him choose between Nao and herself. He then walks past her and later receives a text that she was going to leave for good. Haruka and the rest of his friends begin to look for her during a rainstorm.

Team up and search for missing twin-tail…

Nao then finds Sora hiding out at the bus stop, but she refuses to leave with her and runs off again. Until a random thunderbolt blasts the stop and it catches on fire, Sora’s stuffed bunny is left inside and Nao rushes in to rescue it. Nao returns the bunny to Sora as she explains she is afraid Haruka will abandon her for good. Sora then returns home and gets ready to join the others at festival, once she arrives she gets pulled by Akira. Before leaving, she patches things up with Nao giving her a friendly smile. The episode ends with Haruka and Nao behind a building, having another kind of fun together, ending her arc it seems.

Woooooosssh run Sora run!!

Nao shows her GAR side and saves the bunny!

Blushing Sora all dressed up becomes popular at the festival

Haruka, how many girls are you going to bang! D: Oh wait, I should know better, another arc is left as it seems

Extra screens!

Motoka Nogisaka fails at being a super hero…

Sora gets ready for the festival…hey she’s slow at changing….let her finish her candy…

Haruka’s such a player…. Dx

Shut up and kiss me NOW!!

End thoughts:

Well, finally Sora can quit being depressed around Nao, but I guess she does get quite lonely in the show so far, spending time alone every day. Haruka seems to pair up with any girl and I think the only one left is his sister next. Another wincest? Could be. Unless they let Haruka develop a story with Motoka? Well, I guess we’ll see. Nao was an interesting person, her story definitely had more drama, well next to Akira’s story anyway.

I mentioned this before, but I think this is probably one of the better animated shows of the fall season. I noticed lots of detail in the character designs and the village locations. The music also seems to fit well during the more dramatic scenes, like during the rain storm and festival sections of this episode.

So far I really enjoyed Nao and Akira’s stories, but mostly Akira’s because that’s the type of character I tend to fall for as in hyper and random. Haruka seems to be an interesting character too; you can tell he really likes each girl in the various arcs, even though Sora always has some random dirty thought about him. I can only hope there are no nice boat endings for Haruka in the future.

Preview!

Not much was said about the next episode, I can only assume it has to be Sora’s arc since the others are already done. Can’t wait to see it as I’m loving this show, not so much for the sexual scenes but the characters.

Thanks for reading! See you next time!
