The concept of incest in Anima is very interesting to me.

Obviously they must be a bit more relaxed than us about what is considered incest, given that they refer to each other as cousin. I don’t think that marrying each other presents any genetic problems since there’s about 8 or 9 generations between Ophelia and Artemis (and I’m assuming this length of time allows the cousins to be distant enough that it’s not a problem). Still, conceptually, this society is totally ok with marrying people they consider cousins.

They have a register of “consanguinity exemptions”, so the concept of incest does exist and there seems to be a not-so-strict line that they shouldn’t cross. I’d love to know what this line is (siblings? direct cousins?) and under what circumstances they decide that incest is ok.
