My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex is a absolute shockingly mid anime about 2 "step siblings" if you even call them that that were the year before boyfriend and girlfriend and their relationship kinda hit at home with me which is saying that their relationship was pretty embarrassing and pathetic, and these 2 still try and cling on to their previous relationship they had while they are siblings which turn some scenes turning pretty weird and uncomfortable to watch myself but i can see how some people like this anime but its personally not for me.

honestly this anime doesn't have a lot going for itself it like most of the episodes feel kind of repetitive with their flashbacks with "back in junior high i had a thing that most people call a boyfriend/girlfriend" type bs and with those flash backs being pretty pathetic and not a lot being shown in those
flashbacks.

the setting and the plot of the show is just all over the place and not in a good way like just watching this anime was great sleeping material tbh i couldn't sit through an episode with exiting out and watching youtube for half and hour before continuing then realizing clicking back on it was a bad idea. but this anime's story just gets a bit off track sometimes and some scenes seem a bit unnecessary and repetitive like the flash backs and scenes of Ayai crying and obsessing over Mizuto which feels like they had nothing else to write about and wanted to drag this story to 12 episodes.

The Characters are even worse like the only good character in the show was Ayai because she got some character development and grew up during the show and the rest of them kind of were there lurking around being annoying and painful to listen to like Kawanami was such a useless character in the story and had no purpose of solely known for being that guy who was Mizuto's "friend" kind of and being a weirdo.

honestly if your trying to get into anime i recommending not to watch this because story is a little weird if your not the type of person to watch anime and the plot gets a bit confusing and shaky in some areas but if you are the type of person who likes a good romance anime and can get into this type of thing then go ahead and watch this. but this anime is personally not for me because of its crappy features
