Phew, a family anime with no incest (yet).

This is typically not my genre but I enjoyed Deaimon. It had enough to differentiate it from the rest of the genre and make it stand out. First, the characters— a little girl who is not completely helpless and sweet and who actually has a personality; a lead male who is a lovable goofball; and the rest of the family and staff each had their own unique things going on too. The other thing I appreciated was that there is a great deal of conflict— the little girl dealing with her birth family, and the main character’s love issues to name the main ones. The love issues I especially enjoyed since much of the story dealt with an ex-girlfriend— can barely think of the last time I’ve seen that in anime.
