Woah, for a second I read it as if a second season got announced for Oreimo. Glad, it´s just an overseas license. Still weird that such a show gets a release in the west. Well, maybe it´ll help all those unlucky-in-love brothers and sisters to open their hearts to each other. Erm, what :|

Oreimo on DVD only seems silly. If you're going to watch it, you might as watch in HD. The visuals are pretty much all it has going for it. :\
Ao no Exorcist - 19
Aaaawww how touching, a birthday episode.
What the hell is wrong with this show? I mean the signs are there when you fail at doing a beach episode which only a special studio can fuck up, but what happened to fighting monsters and shit and moving the story along? Why am I watching a birthday party episode, WHY!?

As someone with a younger sister, the whole idea of OreImo is probably the creepiest thing I have seen in a show. I cannot see any appealing aspect of the show, whatsoever.
And to anyone who has seen the Time of Eve movies and OVAs, would just watching the movie be enough to get the whole story. I don't really want to watch both if I'm just going to get the same material.

I have a young sister as well. Didn't creep me out one bit. It's a fictitious story and I treat it as such. Don't feel like arguing about the show but I enjoyed it for the most part.
I think both are worth watching, OVA -> Movie because it's not exactly the same material, but if you were just going to go one route watch the Movie.

Actually they might do a proper translation job, a lot better than what's currently out there. I'm looking forward to buying the B-R, I'm assuming it'll be on B-R.
bigmakattack said:
It's funny because the show itself isn't creepy in that way at all, I have a bitch of a little sister and can relate to the brother's plight, although that's where the simularities stop because I ain't white knighting squat just to get kicked in the balls all the time.

I wouldn't go that far, though that's not so say that the visuals are anything special.Branduil said:
To say that the show doesn't have incestuous undertones would be incorrect.Steroyd said:

Er yeah dead give away, but can't agree with this arc being too good. It's already been way too long. Next week better be the last episode of it.

The little sister has games about that kind of stuff, I'd say that alone is enough. That along with the fanservice scenes made me drop the show and run in the opposite direction.Steroyd said:
Sounds like I'll check out the movie then, and the OVAs if I have time outside of watching current anime and backlogs.branduil said:

For the show to creepy. I might have given it a chance if it was just about his sister's love for eroges and all the stuff, though I probably would've dropped it anyway as I don't really care for that aspect of otaku culture.tiff said:

Depends how you view it.
If we take the eroge itself out of the equation, you can easily see that after being estranged from her brother for so long, she's found something she can confide with her brother and she wants to cling onto that.
bigmakattack said:
And we're putting the eroge back in, yeah you're right the little sister has eroge about little sisters, but there's no desire for herself to be the little sister in those games, however if she had a little sister of her own. BAIL THE FUCK OUT!!
re: Haruhi discussion
I'm not sure I'd go so far as Jexhius in basically saying the plot is a trojan horse for the harem. There's clearly a harem element at play, but I don't think it's exactly true that the plot just serves as window dressing. Now, I highly doubt that there's a coherent overall plot as such, but I certainly think the author is trying to tell legitimate sci-fi type stories. Essentially the author likes both sci-fi stories and harem school antics and attempted to combine them for varying results. The typical harem cliches are subverted to a degree, mainly in that Kyon is actually more interesting than any of his friends, as opposed to the standard harem of the ultra-vanilla guy and his smörgåsbord of girls catering to every stereotype.

Tiger & Bunny 21
Looks like they found a way around the
"where is Wild Tiger during all of this" loophole. Still doesn't explain the fact that he has appeared on TV several times outside of his suit but it works well enough.
I'm guessing that
he'll have to win over the heroes first and then somehow Kaede will get into trouble. Throw in the power fading and maybe a final confrontation with Lunatic after Bunny chooses not to kill Maverick (but Lunatic wants to) and the series can come around full circle (although the Lunatic angle is unnecessary, I'm sure it will probably be thrown in)
And even though it was hardly "skillz" on my part, I totally called
the return of the old suit. I really hope that becomes symbolic in this final arc
They can certainly wrap this up nearly in 3 episodes (if it's a 24 ep series) but this is Sunrise and I'll thus give this show a 50/50 chance of falling to shit.
Iroha - 21
Glad I was on the winning team!

Haruhi certainly at least tries for self-aware parody of harem and other anime tropes, however successful you feel it is at that.Branduil said:

She suddenly starts to confide in her brother and she has a game about that type of stuff, It will certainly send the wrong message to most people watching the show, even if that isn't what is intended.Steroyd said:

Speaking of little sisters
Ringo really is nuts, like out of her goddamn mind nuts. Poor Shoma having to deal with her in order to make sure that his sister's live is saved.

Not really sure if she qualifies under the qualifier as she is one of the main characters but:
I want a little sister like Kana. Screw the little goody two shoes imoutos. I want the boss.
