I was mostly pleasantly surprised with the first episode. Like some others, I'm almost afraid to see where the whole brother-sister thing goes, but so far it doesn't seem so bad; the show does seem to be poking some fun at itself. The scene where spoiler[he runs into her in the hallway surprised me, they actually fell away from each other. I was totally prepared for the "oops, I fell on top of you" crap.]
I did find her method of waking her brother up rather strange, but it was funny enough in its own way. Overall I found the show to be funny and enjoyable, I'll definitely be continuing this one. Also, she does mention all the names the little sisters call her in the games, nii-nii being one of them. That's probably the most "cutesy" of the ones she mentions; nii-sama, o-nii chan and the like are common enough, I would say. She also mentioned "aniki" in that list which kind of surprised me, it isn't necessarily a yazuka term or anything, but its generally a bit more badass than something a cute little sister would say :p |

The second episode was better than the first I particularly liked the little sisters interactions with the goth loli. The brother's character seems to be unusually apathetic towards women though. That is possibly the writer overcompensating for the little sister's particular brand of otakudom. The neighbor girl seems like her role is going to be more like the psuedo little sister and not a love interest for him. I'm hoping for that at least as it could make the story more interesting.

I know a few girls who do play eroge for the cute characters, so I don't think this is a necessarily absurd premise in that way. That being said, I don't think I so much as chuckled through the entire episode. The character designs didn't sit right with me, the dialogue was a little forced and generic, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it in general. Kyousuke was just too detached, and stuck up girls who talk about clothes aren't my thing. Being a closet otaku doesn't exactly give Kirino any bonus points. If she's so embarrassed by it, how exactly did she mount the courage to go to the B&M stores she mentioned having to go to? I can only imagine we'll get an episode where she goes 'undercover' to get the latest release of something. Still, I'll give it a chance. It's a short series, after all. My problem is that I didn't like it or hate it. I just felt no connection whatsoever. It just felt rather mediocre, which is even harder for me to watch than something I hate (because at least then I get some good rage going.) ^_^ |

In episode two Kirino's interactions with the goth loli were indeed good, it was kind of hard telling whether they were being friends or enemies. I think that I will look forward to see what might come off between those two, they are simular in a few ways, but in others are pretty different which kind of makes some nice chemistry.
Also there is someth strange about Kyousuke's relationship with withe "neighbour girl", it looks like she likes him, yet he has absolutly no idea and of fact like to give her light insults. He said something about not likeing anyone else insult her, I know this not too uncommon in anime, but usually the genders are the other way around. |

For once the anime justifies its name completely. I don't think I've ever seen a cuter character. Their conversation with Kuroneko accurately illustrate nerd fights (though, calling her Suigintou? come on, her hair's not white).
I wonder what the comedy will be mostly based on (hiding the hobby from family/school? interaction with other otaku?), but I'm sure as hell sticking with this one. Can't get enough of those eyes. |

Nothing very interesting about this anime besides the male lead who failed to say "Why would you want the opinion of someone you treat like trash?" on the first episode, and the potential love relationship between siblings. Quite interested in the latter since I also have 3-5 sisters whom I've never thought of as annoying or likable but that girl on the other hand pisses me off really bad unlike that 16-year-old bland sister from that series I never got past episode 10 out of 12-13 even after 3 tries.
Gah! Clearly, my fav [overused] seiyu had to be part of it. |

I'm surprised to see that there are still people that thinks the series will go into incest route.
The author already had a safety net with Ayase. Even if Kyousuke like Kirino, he'll just go with Ayase as the love interest. I mean come on, those two looks so similar. Loving the banter between Kirino and Kuroneko. It just feel so familiar to me. The series will more likely be a celebration of the otaku culture like Lucky Star did, which is what i'll hope from it. |

Well, we may not see it in the animated series (which is unfortunate, I think, but it wouldn't really work in a comedy setting like this without coming off as superficial fanservice shite like KissxSis) but I came across a fantastic doujin the other day; one chapter, in full colour: holy crap. The artist was really good too, it looked exactly the same as the anime characters, down to the awesome eyes (I like the character design in this series a lot). So yeah, if you're looking for the visual novel-esque ending as per one of Kirino's eroge's, check it out. If you're into that kind of thing it will not disappoint. Anyways, with regards to episode 2; I watched and enjoyed. I'll see it through to the end at this rate, as the two lead siblings are really fun to watch. I can't see this going an incest route though; seriously. The brother is protective doesn't want her to be hurt, and the sister is disgusted anytime anyone even references the possibility. I'm taking it at face value, and liking what I see as well. |

Im glad to see that so far it seems that Oreimon has made a point to set it's self apart from other popular series with an incest tone like Kiss x Sis and others. The fanservice is definitely not in the same vain of things and it's much more toned down in all aspects. Unlike Kiss x Sis which was practically a loli hentai, this series has taken the relative high road of fanserivice. The way Kirino has been portrayed so far is very similar to Haruhi. Their both, so far, falling into the same archetypes. And so far she hasn't really been a sexual character but rather a typical cute teenage girl. And Kyousuke is so far not giving off any really creepy vibes.
Actually so far it seems to me that the relationship isn't developing like the usual incest romance would. The back and forth seems more like Madarame and Saki from Genshiken, in the sense that one is a hardcore otaku while the other is completely in the dark about the subject and would often prefer not to know. Which leads me to wonder if the incest aspect is less of an actual fantasy fulfillment and more like a parody with how obsessed gal games have become with the little sister fetish. |

Okay, can we get it straight that THIS IS NOT AN INCEST show yet? I mean, I really wish they had made like...a different title for this show because this is really starting to bug me.
BTW, anybody else a post-Evangelion biter? |

They already did twice in the first episode. They are saving the bedroom scenes prior to him waking up for the bluray release. |
