You compared something someone likes to something they don't, there's nothing superficial about that!

I think its kind of like Watamote, except Umaru at school is actually what Tomoko dreams of being (bless her adorkable heart)
Kirino is just a bitch. Umaru is a spoiled brat, not actually mean.
good to know cause its on my list.
I'm not worked up. I'm just presenting information to fight incongruous comparisons. For other people this is pretty much the only observation they posted.
I'd split hairs to get away from Oreimo too I guess.

That's 1 out of a million!
It just came out today.
In the first 10 minutes of the anime, there's a scene where she basically says she can't admit to reading One Piece because she tells everyone she has a personal library at home and she reads poetry.
The whole point of the episode is that she puts on a public face in public because she doesn't want people to know about her otaku side. Then they also show her manipulating her brother, partly using her public side as influence against him.
Some people here all seem to be obsessed with incest, which hey, this is the anime thread so I get that is what is on everyone's mind here. I just think she's about as sympathetic as Kirino (read - not at all) which made watching the first episode a chore.
I can only interpret the show based on what it gives me.
euriphonium?
stop

Well...
I hear the gears play brass instruments so that they can warm up their tongues for more sapphic after school activities. Etc etc. It's in the novels.
Production delays means I have to do it in two parts. Please understand.
oreimo does not actively bother me in the way it does other people here. i just dislike how much misinformation can spread in the thread.
this is not what the show gave you. someone told you that you were wrong and now you are going off on some weird kick to try and vindicate your misinterpretation. if you don't like the show and weren't paying attention nobody cares. creating some bizarre narrative that fits your warped view of basic information is, again, spreading misinformation about the show and how it presents itself.
even on a fundamental level that you think one piece in japan is a measure of someone being an "otaku" is hilarious.
the character does not "tell everyone she has a personal library at home where she reads poetry". it's a rumor that took off around her and she just plays into it. this entire scene is not about being an otaku or whatever you think it is. it's about how people think this girl leads a lavish and culturally enriched life while she's just binging on trashy shonen manga.
idk. pretty convenient to screenshot the scene and leave out these lines:

I didn't omit them on purpose, but for the purposes of not spamming.
The implication there is that she doesn't want to correct them because it would ruin their image of her. Otherwise, she could simply state that she reads manga. I'm not sure how else you could read it other than the fact that she enjoys how people sees her and doesn't want to change public opinion of her, especially when she uses it for her own benefit when it's convenient for her.

I think I saw that word combing through his post history, verboten. I'm guessing it's that?
Not even the Tick anime?

Wow. This is literally the first time I've thought about The Tick since that live action Fox show.

Now that I'm on break I can finally see this show that everyone has been telling me to watch. The first episode is the standard introduction of character and setting, so nothing really notable. That will dwfinitely change from what I've heard. Can't wait!

If you are curious, the '99 series and the manga introduce things a lot better.
Ruri deserves better than that guy to begin with.
NO denying what the title specifically indicated. I wasnt surprised when it went where it did. It was obvious that it would. I just like Ruri.
True, but Prison School aint here yet. Armageddon merely took a sabbatical.
If thats weak then I cant wait for when it gets good!
I dont find them attractive but the whole situation is so absurd that its really fun. Also seeing how monster girls deal with being in a normal world and the awkward situations that result from it.
I...dont even know what to say to this..
Well in Oreimos' case thats how it really went down. But generally the idea of an imouto is sort of devised to create that sort of incesty feeling, at least when anime does it. but some shows actually play the brother thing normally, which is what himouto does. Its not always an incest scenario.
Seriously, all the changes mean the same damned thing. Yall are nitpicking things at this point. Wiki or "feeds", "hot" or "beautiful" it doesnt matter. It all comes across to the viewer the same way. We can understand what the show is saying and thats what matters. The only time this matters is when actual plot points are changed from the original meaning.

That was a pretty good first episode! The background music sounded like it was straight out of Love Lab, and apparently it was done by the same composer, so that was definitely a plus. I've read some of the manga already, but the jokes still got a few laughs out of me regardless - for some reason the scene where she was slowly slipping off the inflatable ball she was lying on, but too lazy and engrossed in her manga to care was my favourite part of the episode. Well, that and when she was ignoring Taihei in the supermarket but kept turning around and shooting him daggers to make sure he was still watching. Definitely watching next week.
Kitakubu 03
Better than the first few episodes, but it still isn't grabbing me. Karin becoming someone who can't even walk up stairs by herself after just three episodes is really quite outstanding. In a way I'm kinda expecting this to do a face-heel-turn and become something completely different sooner or later. I'm not sure why, it just feels that way to me.
I can personally attest to the fact that she did not score 100% on this test.

I've now read two different synopsis, watched the OP, and still have no idea what's going on. I'm ready.

Add me to the camp that thought Oreimo's incestuous tones were readily apparent from the very first episode on (and title really).
That girl pretty much tells her brother she likes to watch little Imoutos getting banged by their brother, in VNs at least. Now she argues that she enjoys this stuff because—cue the most ludicrous reasoning—she thinks the little girls are so cuuuuuute.
...
Oh yeh, okay they may be cute to you but what about getting pounded by their older brothers, what is that all about? It just doesn't make sense. If you want to see cute little girls doing stuff you'd just watch Hidamari Sketch, you don't play ero games.
Whether the initial premise is comparable to Umaru-chan is another thing, but I find it hard to believe someone saw the first season of Oreimo in a completely innocuous light when the otaku-incest baiting was there pretty much from the get-go.

Yesssss
lol yeah. thats what raised red flags with me immediately. I was like "I like cute girls too but I dont play ero games to see them!"
Really if it wasnt for Ruri and some of the side characters I wouldnt have bothered to finish the show. Kanahana always makes really adorable characters so its difficult to just ignore them even in terrible anime. This is also known as the Miyukichi effect.

It probably wasn't for what was said in this thread. The body shaming thread was purged at the same time dimb went down.
