NEWS: Oreimo 2 Episodes 14-16 Slated for August

Seeing how horrible this second season has turned out has made me dubious of any more episodes. I adored the first seasons, but this new one has just turned into the very thing they were kind of parodying to begin with.

Because it had the chance to be good. But it didn't and became self-parody in how hilariously forced and contrived every goddamn event in it is. Every bit of this damn show is fake and hollow, starting with the sheer fact that Kirino isn't a girl, she's a male otaku in a girl's body. This show would be so much better if Kirino was actually a fujoshi since that wouldn't be so willing-suspension-of-disbelief-breaking.

Yes, I am still not over the fact that Kirino is a genderswapped male otaku.

I can't say I'm any different from those who felt as though this season end WAAAAAY off the deep end from Season 1, However I've felt as though I should have seen it comming. I saw the hints, they weren't that subtle, but I shrugged it off thinking "Nah, the show wouldn't go that far...would it?"

Now that its pretty much confirmed, I'm alot less mad about it. Sure I still kind of want to puke but I don't really have that big of sense of disappointment. That said however I just dropped the show and am now just browsing forums just to see the reactions.

Chagen, you being purportedly bisexual yourself does not make your statements any less homophobic.
Kirino is obsessed with galge and fantasizes about the heroines, yet also wants to have sex with her brother. That makes her bisexual, pure and simple.
I think you have a problem with anyone who doesn't fit into the neat little boxes you've made.

Yeah, I agree on both accounts (the puking and feeling like a fool about the whole thing.) I really enjoyed it, and I was honestly hoping up that he'd end up with Manami (y'know, the actual good, likable, supportive character?) instead of either Kuroneko or his annoying, whiny, sniveling brat of a biological little sister. But I guess that's too much to ask for in today's industry... *sigh* Back to "Flowers of Evil" for me.

Heaven forbid I express an opinion on a show in a thread dedicated to said show! Everyone knows that no dissent is allowed!

Oreimo is awfully written and I feel as if I have a right to express that statement.
