The situation has gotten so bad that in My Sister, My Writer’s sixth episode, which aired after midnight in the early a.m. hours of November 15, the animators stuck a hidden cry for help in the credits, listing one of the staff members as “Shojiki Komata,” a linguistically impossible name in Japan that’s actually a thinly veiled version of the Japanese phrase shojiki komatta, meaning “We’re in serious trouble.”
In its place, viewers will get to relive the joy of watching episode 6 again, as it will be rerun in My Sister, My Writer’s regular time slot.
But even that SOS hasn’t turned out to be the rock-bottom point for My Sister, My Writer.
It hasn’t been a smooth season for anime TV series My Sister, My Writer (titled Ore ga Suki na no ha Imoto Dakedo Imoto ja nai in Japanese).
