Damn,Saori is 15? I always thought she be older.

That's a problem?

The fuck is going on in here =|

 

[Regulus Tera]

Not enough Manami, that's for sure.

 

[Extollere]

Not enough Manami, that's for sure.

Yeah... I'm still desperately waiting for the Hijiri Rei doujin next Comiket NSFW. First Oreimo book to finally have Manami

 

[Einherjar]

Looking forward to a S2, though I suspect it won't be coming till Vol. 8 of the LN comes around

 

[hellclerk]

Not enough Manami, that's for sure.

I get the feeling that this entire show is just one huge shiptease (with the eventual Ship Sink of Kirino/Kyouske). Honestly, at this point, if they ship Kyouske with anyone it's just going to end up as a disappointment.

Spoiler

I'm on the Kuroneko Defense Force. Go pettanko gooooo!

Exactly. It's doubtful it would end any other way... still, I would love to see some of these shows actually make decisions and stick with them. Fuck the fans. I really don't care what direction a show goes, as long as the writers are confident about it, and can make a good story. I really hate indecisive plot devices, and drawn out character arcs with no resolve.

Spoiler

I'm on the Kuroneko Defense Force. Go pettanko gooooo!

I'm rooting for the pettanko too

Still think Manami is more appealing though. Cuter, and more desirable than the rest of the entire cast.

 

[zoku88]

I still find her (glasses girl) incredibly annoying... >_<

Hijiri Rei has a nice way of drawing lines, though. And doujin manga don't have voice :3

Friendzone girl's only personality trait is that she lusts for Kyosuke. She has no personality. I find characters like her incredibly boring.

It's true. She isn't interesting as a character, but considering self projection, I'd find her more desirable to be with than some tsundere bitches, or an insecure role-playing escapist. For the sake of the show being entertaining, I can't see them giving her more attention than necessary. If anything she is there to balance out the other characters.

Is being really nice a personality trait?

 

[hellclerk]

No, her only personality trait is that she's a well rounded person. :|

Excuse me while I jump on the Manami defense force wagon for a sec. Manami is the NORMAL girl. she has normal interests, she's a contented person who cares alot for Kyouske and wants him to return those feels. It's all very sweet. Their primary conflict isn't really that Kyouske's oblivious/doesn't want to bring things up to the next level, it's that he sends signals that go multiple ways and you can't really say one way or the other how he feels about her.

Which is why it's so blatantly shipteasing. Kuroneko is a bit more subdued, but I like her because I can relate on a number of levels, I just don't use a character as a mask of sorts.

 

[Extollere]

I used to hate ship teasing, until I realized that doujinshi allow for the ship to reach the port... so to speak.

So whichever way this show goes... I'm still good :lol

You guys seem to be an episode or two ahead of me. Can I ask where you're watching this show, or is that something that can't be spoken of? I'm watching it on ANN and they're only on episode 11.

I'm guessing most people torrent/DL it through other means. And no, we've all only seen up to 11. Pretty much all the conversation beyond 11 has to do with speculation and general discussion of the characters from the 11 episodes out there.

What was that trope for the "perfect" Japanese woman? Begins with an "N" I think. That's what her character boils down to.

I see, thanks. I just assumed you guys were ahead since I'm completely lost in this thread. :lol

 

[firehawk12]

Yamato Nadeshiko?

Yeah, that sounds right. She's not walking 10 steps behind the dude or whatever, but her main quality is that she'd make the perfect wife.

 

[Kuran]

Just started watching ... finished 2 episodes. Pretty great and entertaining actually, although this is going to give me terminal blue balls.

 

[Neo C.]

finally catched up with the rest of you.

this makes little sense

kirino does not actually like little sisters. she likes to like little sisters to fulfill her unrequitted affection towards her brother

She got a nosebleed due to the Meruru cosplayer. I wouldn't be surprised if, while they never explicity say it, Kirino is queer.

She has a damn wierd way of showing it, she nearly gets a nosebleed from the merumeru cosplay, the way she licked her lips before playing the eroge as provided on this page and creaming herself while holding a body pillow while repeatedly clicking and repeating the finishing phrase [s] "I love you brother"[/s] "Dai suki onii-chan" of said eroge, god was that horrible to type in english.

God help her if she really did get a little sister.

 

[Extollere]

I think it's more a play on the fact that she made that exact same face when Kuroneko mentioned her little sister over the phone. Kirino is dangerous :lol

 

[Kuran]

Episode 3 was amazing. The conversation with dad was classic.

I love how this show kinda defends the whole spirit of being a gamer. Should've watched this before I sold 99% of my collection. Haha..

 

[Extollere]

Welp, Ep 11 was weird. Had some fun moments, but seeing Kirino so apologetic, was kind of strange. I mean, it was coming - just seemed forced. And seriously! An

[Extollere]

I didn't realize this upon watching the episode, but in Kuroneko's manga presentation, the porn picture that Kirino's character finds under Kyosuke's bed is of Manami :lol Potential NSFW Manami with *cough* on her face. HA-HA.... MUahahAHaha

Spoiler

I-It's... so beautiful *___*

Kuroneko... Knows all. Sees all.

 

[Instro]

Ah I just saw the most recent ep, kuroneko's presentation was priceless. What a great show :lol

Is there any possibility of a season 2 btw?

Not with that new law passed there isn't :/

 

[hellclerk]

Well, with how the show's been going, I hardly think that this new Tokyo law would mean anything. Even the innuendo is just that, innuendo. No harmful or particularly illegal behaviors are being shown, and Kirino's consumption of eroge is hardly put in the light of positive.

Oh, and I doubt this regulation will last for very much longer than a season or two, and I don't expect a second season until 2012, maybe same time next fall.

Wow! I so did not notice that because I was so busy laughing my ass off at Kirino's reaction.

Ah I just saw the most recent ep, kuroneko's presentation was priceless. What a great show :lol

Kuroneko was great the whole episode, the presentation and her hitting on Kyousuke to get a reaction from Kirino was just awesome.

 

[hellclerk]

Y'know... I keep getting the feeling that getting a rise out of Kirino was only only a bonus to just getting to hit on her brother consequence free. |3

Course, that could just be my crazy shipping side talking. This show is sooooo lucky that I can relate to it on the level of sibling affection though, because usually shipteases this strong and no-win make me want to BREAK something >:|

Only reason I root for Kuroneko is because seekritly wishing that such girls existed AND were attractive AND single. Also, she's such a cad and I love it. :3

From what I've heard, just the fact that Kirino even had eroge was causing quite a stir. And it kind of does portray it in a positive light, or at least not in a negative one.

Eh... I was thoroughly creeped out by Kirino's eroge face... >__>

That said, there's nothing particularly illegal about Kirino owning the eroge. It causes a stir because eroge manufacturers want to say that their products are inaccessible to minors (of course they're not), and at the least the show doesn't portray actual brother/sister incest as something positive. As the saying goes: Anyone who has siblings knows that such themes are the fantasies of people who very clearly don't have siblings.

If anything, it can be taken as a commentary on how silly the law is anyway. The idea that adult-only product manufacturers are 'inaccessible' to minors is ludicrous, so why neuter television broadcast to minors like that? Another reason I can't see this lasting for more than a couple of television seasons.

best episode so far

Spoiler

I'm guessing in the DVD only episodes, there's a "BAD END", which is where she goes to America

I also like what Kuroneko says

Spoiler

Well, whatever. I'll be calling him something else soon anyway

 

[firehawk12]

I can't remember - is there a second season planned?

 

[zoku88]

I don't think one has been announced yet. Just 4 DVD only episodes, I think

And WOW, the DVDs in this series only have two episodes each? You have to be kidding me :lol

Spoiler

The ending to the lightnovel is completely different:

Spoiler

The secret collection Kirino want to show his brother is actually hentai related to feces. The brother choose not to see what's in the album since he got terrified from her secret collection. Kirino went to America without telling anyone, her brother didn't even found out until next morning.

There will be a blu-ray release that will contain episode 12-15 call "True Ending", I guess that will be the book ending. "Good Ending" did not leave any room for second season since.....

BOOK SPOILS FOR PLOT DIRECTION AFTER TRUE ENDING

Spoiler

Kuroneko graduated and went to same school as Kyosuke, that's why she hinted at eps 12 that she will not call him "Nii-san" anymore. With Kirino gone, she basically replaced Kirino as the female lead for an entire book, and the story got much more interesting (and less incest).

I will be sad if I don't see season 2.....

 

[firehawk12]

Hrm, I guess this is the new way to incentivize DVD sales then. :lol
