It's about a brother and sister, depending on who you ask it can be interpret as an incest or just simply a story about a brother and sister... I suggest you watch / read and formulate your own opinion.

Thanks a lot for the info, Dr. Casey.

I didn't mention this before, but on the relationship front, this episode feels like it's moving away from a possible incest route, and probably towards a Kyousuke/Kuroneko romance.

Yeah, the fact that Kirino is finally cutting ties with Kyousuke with the last counseling, and Kuroneko longing for a brother to take care of her will be a high possibility in my head.

just wait for the "final" request before making such judgements, ne?

The publishing company would be in deep shit if anyone found out. In fact with the nature of these thing it is more likely that her parent negotiated the contract on her behalf in the first place.

As for the help bit you are not taking context into account, his daughter is sick due to being bullied into doing something she doesn't want to. All of his actions are out of concern for her and this case goes beyond anime and is something he can understand. He might even have a few favorite literature of his that got subpar adaptions so this is certainly something he can relate to. What he thinks of Kyosuke has nothing to do with this situation.

Well.... That is true based on the title of the next episode

Are we crossing into 'sex education' border? Because if it's so, i need to stay away from people to watch it
I'm joking, they are not gonna cross the line that much, right? Right?

Oh dam, I didn't think about that possibility , I sure hope it doesn't go that way, I mean it would just be awkward in so many ways .

Well, it is called "Life Counseling" and playing eroge games that are just insanely perverted (judging from the title, they are probably extreme because Kyousuke sounds surprised) Kirino might want to learn something from eroge games as a life lesson

Kirino just said that the next time will be the last time. She didn't say when it was. I don't think we'll be seeing the last counseling session until episode 10, probably.

[Kameruka]

Is the mecha anime played in the background actually exists? If it do exists I would love to see it.

Hopefully the last life counseling involves sex education.... *fingers crossed*

I'm pretty positive that it doesn't exist

It's just parody by using some aged toy franchises.

Now that I can see the images more clearly, it looks the same as the figurines I see around my stores alot... Now that I think about it, its sorta strange...

Not really interesting in my part. Sure people can get quite selfish when they want things they way they want it to be, but, in the business world, it is noted that some things are needed to give up in order to abstain what one wants. In the end, Kirino gets what she wants through her brother's plea and Kuroneko's speech.

[AquaMethod]

"So for this, how about we say they aren't panties, but some kind of survival gear instead?"

Did anyone else feel like that was a shot at Strike Witches? :x

True. On the other hand - and that's an argument that was barely touched upon - Kirino's story was successful as it was, gimmick and all. Remove the gimmicks and there's no reason for her fans to watch.
