Monogatari is a disaster. Give it a try.
Bakuman. (TV) Carl Kimlinger extols the 1st episode; but there are three cours, each twenty-five episodes long.
The ratings are really impressive, though!

Brothers Conflict (TV) Excellent (dub & sub)

Rebecca Silverman wrote:
That, however, doesn't detract from how much dumb fun it is. Less prone to second-hand embarrassment than some of its brethren while still maintaining just enough of a cringe factor for entertainment purposes, Brothers Conflict is the kind of silly series it's fun to just leave on or watch when you've had a bad day. However, it also has a surprisingly serious undertone if you're looking for it – you could absolutely read this show as being about the struggles of a teenage girl who has lived virtually alone for her entire life finally getting the family she desperately wanted, only to have that family try and turn her domestic dream into a romantic nightmare. While that may sound a bit melodramatic (and it is), it also offers the opportunity to look at the show on a different, more serious level. The glimpses we get of Ema's life prior to her father's marriage depict a very lonely life, as her father appears to have spent more time out of the house on business trips than actually raising his daughter. The idea that she could suddenly become a part of a caring family that all lives together and is willing to embrace her as a sister is highly appealing and even makes a stab at justifying the horrendous parenting (the newlyweds don't want kids around) that leads to her doing so, because honestly the oldest brothers look like more competent guardians than either parent. That this dream would then be derailed by several of the brothers aggressively pursuing Ema on a romantic level would absolutely throw her off and make her nervous, because she'd worry that rejecting them could cost her her new family.
It's a reverse harem ─ check It out.
    • A talking squirrel? But of course.....
    • So right out of the gate it's a reverse harem. Does make sense, though; what with there being only 13 episodes ─ which excludes the two-episode OAV.
  1. "Top─of─the─line males"? Priceless, just priceless!
    The squirrel takes up an offer of an alliance.
  2. Wedding.
  3. Finally ─ the Big Kiss.
  4. Now the Basketball Player makes his big move ─ off the court, naturally!
This question has only now just occurred to me: How did the step-mother find time to give birth to 13 sons and have a career?
  1. All right, I'll admit it: the blackout at the 07:07 mark really was quite effective!
Is the talking squirrel meant to emphasize that this is a fantasy? I'm quite curious.....
Is basketball a thing in Japan?
  1. More step-brothers make their move, and then there's a medical emergency.
    • Azu has meningitis.
    • Yet another brother makes a move onto her.....
  2. Ema finds out about her biological parents.
  3. The family takes Ema to the grave site of her biological parents.
  4. Angst over college entrance examinations.
  5. All of the brothers vow to be the one.
I think that it would have been fun if she had set the ground rules and had sexual intercourse with a different brother every night!
