Review:

At first, Mitsudomoe is like any typical loli anime. But I was wrong. Mitsudomoe is like Kodomo no Jikan (minus the innuendos and sexual references.)

The story revolves around the Marui Triplets; Mitsuba, Futaba and Hitoha. Mitsuba is the sadistic, yet mature eldest sister. She always acts all high and mighty at home, at school, or even anywhere she goes. Her character isn’t that bad, but I don’t seem to get attracted to Mitsuba for some reason.
Next up is Futaba. She’s the middle sister of the Marui Triplets and possesses an incredible strength that surpasses 100 grown up men. Many might think that Futaba is too masculine for her character, but she’s just too strong for a 10-year old girl. That’s all.

One notable feature Futaba has is her absurd obsession with breasts. She is easily distracted whenever she sees breasts not smaller than B-cup and will gawk on every boob she sees. (Even the gravure photo magazines count)

And last but not the least, Hitoha. She’s the youngest sister and the most perverted one than her sisters. Hitoha is always seen carrying a “seemingly normal” book which is actually a porn magazine. She has a gloomy aura that wards off her classmates with her scary faces, surprising her homeroom teacher, Yabe Satoshi by showing up from under his desk, etc.

Hitoha’s recent hobby is the anime’s fictional Tokusatsu series titled “Serious Sentai: Gachi Rangers” and takes care of the class’ pet hamster named Chiikubi (translated as Nipples in English).

The main element that makes Mitsudomoe funny is the misunderstandings. Every misunderstanding lead to disaster, and if we’re talking about Mitsudomoe, no misunderstanding isn’t capable of making you fall off your chair laughing. Sometimes the anime shows violence, which is often targeted at Mitsuba whenever she’s injured by Futaba. And Yabecchi easily cries due to Hitoha’s verbal abuse caused by misunderstandings.
Overall, Mitsudomoe is an anime worth watching! So if you think watching it makes you a pedophile/lolicon, then you’re damn wrong.
