Come to think of it, I also wonder why Kirino doesn't like Manami that much. Is it because she doesn't like another girl getting that close to Kyousuke? Or maybe something happened in the past (which might be why they ended up being so distant in the first place)?
I really hope there's more background/flashback scenes...

The author deliberately muddled many areas, so readers get their own interpretations. There's really no 'right' answer to a lot of these questions.
Central to the premise though, we know that Kyosuke Believes he's not a siscon, through you may argue his following Kirino's every whim is actually behaving like one. I admit Kyosuke's narrative in the LN is sometimes annoying, repeatedly denying the obvious such as Minami's feelings or the state of his relationship with Kirino.. Kirino on the other hand...can very well be a brocon, the only counter is her constant denial.. - hates Minami for no reason, and reinforced by the fact Kuroneko also hates Minami, and it's confirmed that Kuroneko likes Kyosuke..so...by extension.. - The exchange arc I reckon went a bit too far..Unless author pulls off a good explanation, the balance is a but skewed towards brocon too early - Kuroneko suspects something's up between Kirino and Kyosuke, she constantly teases Kyosuke about it and also her comics was hilarious (and probably right on target) |

Wow they're really rushing things.
Ep. 7: Date Ep. 8: Gets novel idea stolen, etc, etc, maybe some of vol. 4 Ep. 9: Rest of vol. 4, Kirino leaves Ep. 10: Kuroneko xfers to high school, and all the hijinks with it Ep. 11: More vol. 5 stuff, Maybe at the end Kurneko/Ayase asks Kyosuke to go get Kirino back Ep. 12: Goes to America to bring her back, then ??? My hypothesis... if they decide to go that far. I also wouldn't be surprised if they threw Saori's backstory from vol. 6 in there somewhere, and/or decide to drag it out and end it with Kirino leaving for the US. |

More like...
Ep. 7: Xmas Date Ep. 8: Filler Ep. 9: Gets novel idea stolen, etc, etc Ep. 10: First part of vol. 4 Ep. 11: Second part of vol. 4 Ep. 12: Kirino goes off to America. The series has shown it has been splitting up volumes into 2-3 episodes. I expect 3 instead of 2 for volume 4 since it'll the last one for this season. They can't go on to volume 5 or any of its content before finishing volume 4 because it wouldn't make sense. They don't have time to introduce Sena, and Saori's backstory seems inappropriate until we get more time with Saori. |

I agree. I think they'll only be going to the end of volume 4, which is probably the best place to stop. Here are some upcoming episode summaries from KmY (was posted there a couple of weeks back. Translating the titles, but I'm leaving 7's in Japanese only) Spoiler for length:
Episode 8 There's no way my little sister could (get this kind of anime adaptation) (= replacement for last chapter of volume 3) Episode 9 There's no way my little sister could be this into eroge (???) Episode 10 There's no way my little sister (would cosplay like this) (= first chapter of volume 4) Looks like they're cutting the plagiarism one out? Which doesn't bode well for certain relationship developments IMO.

From the description...
Episode 8 - Seems like they modify the plagiarism into making the novel into anime...I guess since this is the anime version, instead of going into ASCII Mediaworks they go to AIC... Episode 9 - Definitely original. It has been mentioned before the anime start that Kuroneko's imouto would make her first appearance (She had never been shown in novel). Episode 10 - Vol. 4 Ch. 1... From there... Episode 11 - First part = Some Vol. 4 Ch. 2? (The producer doesn't like Manami XD) + Vol. 4 Ch. 3 (Sort of reaching the climax of "Last Jinsei Soudan") Episode 12 - Vol. 4 Ch. 4 + some wrapup (i.e. showing Kuroneko just to let people speculate on a Season 2). My only question, why rushing things like crazy then? Just to throw in random filler? |

Considering those small sumaries from the episodes, I agree with ion475 above, but I do't think they woudl cut ch2 as what happens on it is important for ch 3, and they actually would be nicely fit together (ending an episode at ch 2 would probably make Kirino look too bad for an week, as she would only say she is sorry the week after). So really looks like they will end at vol 4, well this would prob mean a second season would be a given.

Well with that line at the end of ep.8, either Kirino goes bye-bye at the end of ep.9, or they stretch vol.4 for the rest of the season.
They'll probably end it with Kirino leaving or returning, can't really imagine another end point, unless they pull something original. Though, having the last ep. with Kirino leaving would make it feel incomplete honestly. Hope they do it sooner rather than later. |

Why mentioning that line means it will need to happen on next episode? On the novel itself, she does say that line at the end ov Vol 3, but the last counseling only happens at the end of vol 4. From summaries of the episodes that were posted here, ep 9 will be an anime original . That means 3 (maybe 4 if it's 13) episodes for the last volume, which imo isn't a strech at all. Considering the volumes size and from how the pace have been so far in the anime, 3 episodes for a volume is okay although 4 epiosdes would been better with less cuts and less rushed pace. Heck some of the biggesd t volumes like 2 and maybe 3 could even deserve a 5 episodes pace.

Probably should come to this thread a bit sooner, I was reacting to the word eroge and assume episode 9 to jump to Kyosuke's Eroge-mission.
So it looks like ep 9 is going to be original, at least based on the synopsis it doesn't sound like anything they can mess with from the source material. Kuroneko's private life and Kirino actually playing Eroge? Let's hope this won't end up as another episode 8..... On the other hand, next episode totally messed up my prediction of ending at v5. However I still don't think the anime can ends like v4 did unless they are pretty sure about season 2 or some sort of OVA that are already in plan. I'm now leaning towards original/modified ending.

This is an interesting way to compensate for not having enough airing time on TV to animate an additional and not leave the season on a cliffhanger. It's exactly like Bakemonogatari's approach.
