Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai

What is more fun than an anime about things you like? And judging from the average posts on this website you are probably into anime, games and girls. Am I right? Then you should totally watch Oreimo! But maybe I should introduce myself first. My name is Fujoshi, but despite my name I’m not only into yaoi.

I actually love any good anime series. All genre’s are of interest to me. I haven’t posted anything on Anime Onsen before, so I hope you like it. Hajimemashite.

My expectations
One of the newest anime, and already one of my favorites is Ore no imouto ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai, wich means My little sister can’t be this cute. For short the term Oreimo is often used to describe this anime. When I first read the title I thought that it would be a very ecchi and incesty anime. Oreimo is in fact ecchi sometimes, and there is a bit of sexual tension between the main characters, but not in an incesty kind of way. The relationship between brother and sister Kyosuke and Kirino is in my opinion a natural relationship between siblings.

Plot
Kyosuke never really got along with his younger sister Kirino. One day he accidentally discovers his sister is into anime and especially likes playing eroge (erotic video games). Kirino begs Kyosuke to keep her secret since their dad is against anime and thinks Otaku are dangerous and crazy. Also Kirino is a model and is ashamed of her hobby, so none of her friends at school know about her secret. Kyosuke agrees to keep his sister’s secret, but that’s just the the first episode of the series… Kirino starts to love the fact that she can now talk about eroge with her brother and forces him to play them. One thing leads to another and soon Kyosuke is soon dragged into Kirino’s little otaku world, and forced to do all kinds of embarrassing stuff while trying to keep it all secret.

Review
The visual effects of this anime are very good seeing as it is a very new series, released in 2010. I don’t have any flaws I want to point out. The character designs are very up to date and cute too. The plot is kind of predictable and the anime is almost exactly what I imagined it to be. In my opinion that is not a bad thing though. The strongest point of this anime for me is that I could very easily relate to Kirino because she is an otaku. So if you’d like to see a very funny and recognizable anime with some slightly ecchi scenes, that is exactly what you’ll get from Oreimo.

I hope you enjoyed reading this review!

    Kirino is a bitch, Kuroneko ftw Smile. Seriously though, the new episodes, the ones that only have been released on shitty quality from livestream, are so much better because Kirino is in the US at that time of the story Razz.

      I have to agree with that. I love the Kyosuke&Kuroneko pairing. Kirino has her cute moments too if you ask me. I just like the tsundere type of character.

      I just watched all the episodes of the old anime. Kirino is a total bitch, I agree.

      Those new ones are a different story?

      • TheJappernaut

        The “new” episodes take the path of the manga. The last episode of the original show take a different path, that Kirino stays home and doesn’t go to the US.
        The show had to end with kind of a “happy ending” I guess.
        There were 4 episodes only released via stream so the quality isn’t as grat as it normally would be, but it is still definitely watchable.

    I like the series, but I feel that is in some way very violent with all the abuse that the main male character had to bear from his sister and that other bitch who is his sister’s friend and co-worker (model).

    The otaku characters have a better light than the “normal” ones, isn’t it?
