I was more impressed by this show than I expected. I'm already a little disillusioned with the whole "meta otaku subculture" genre, especially the standard bishoujo series that use otaku girl characters just to add an extra layer of fantasy fulfillment, but I loved OreImo. A lot of that has to do with the fact that it's an excellent adaptation--beautifully animated, well paced, etc etc. My only theoretical complaint would be about the story (hobbies vs real life drama is meh), but thankfully that played a less important role than Kirino's development, which I quite enjoyed. I don't hate her nearly as much as the average viewer and I'd gladly take her over moeblobs like Nogizaka Haruka.
Altogether, I'm not sure if I'll bother with the manga since I'm not big on the plot and it won't look half as pretty as the anime, but I can say that I enjoyed this much more than your average seasonal bishoujo romance series. 7/10 for me.
