Eromanga Sensei is a Japanese anime television series that aired in the spring of 2017. Produced by A-1 Pictures, the show is directed by Ryohei Takeshita and written by Tatsuya Takahashi. The story follows a high school student named Masamune Izumi, who is an aspiring light novel author. He lives with his shut-in, younger sister Sagiri, who is a talented artist known as Eromanga Sensei but also never leaves her room.

The show begins with Masamune struggling to create successful light novels, despite his passion for writing. He is determined to make it big in the industry for his own personal reasons, and is endlessly frustrated by his lack of success. Enter Eromanga Sensei, Masamune's secret collaborator who he has never met, but has been working with for months. Eromanga Sensei is his sister Sagiri.

The show then takes the audience on a journey of comedic, romantic, and emotional highs and lows as Masamune and Sagiri navigate their working relationship and personal struggles. The two siblings begin to develop a deeper understanding of each other's personalities and past traumas, leading to touching moments of character development as they overcome their obstacles together.

One of the most prominent themes in Eromanga Sensei is the pressure of societal expectations placed on young adults. Masamune's passion for writing is often belittled by his peers, and he is constantly reminded that it is not a stable career choice. Furthermore, Sagiri's status as a shut-in leads to her being ostracized from society, and she struggles to find a place where she is comfortable being herself.

The show also explores the often taboo topic of lolicon, or the sexualization of young girls. While this subject matter is controversial and uncomfortable for many, Eromanga Sensei handles it in a rather tasteful and light-hearted way. The characters' interactions regarding these topics provide some of the funnier moments of the show, and the overall tone remains respectful.

The animation in Eromanga Sensei is visually pleasing, with bright colors and detailed character designs. The soundtrack is upbeat and catchy, pairing well with the comedic tone of the show. The voice acting is exceptional, with standout performances by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Masamune), Akane Fujita (Sagiri), and Yui Ishikawa (Elf Yamada).

Overall, Eromanga Sensei is a quirky and lighthearted anime that tackles mature themes in a respectful manner. The characters are likable and relatable, and the comedic moments are genuinely funny. While the show may not be for everyone, it is a worthwhile watch for those interested in a coming-of-age story with a unique twist.

Eromanga Sensei is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between April 8, 2017 and on Anime Strike
