They're releasing the OVA episodes with the volumes of the series' BD/DVD release just like they did with the first season.

But if the release of the last novel is really being timed with the release of the final TV episode, then I'd think that means the OVA ending will be different from the novel and TV series' ending. Otherwise what would be the point of timing the novel volume release with the ending it doesn't even match?

Well, as with before, the episodes will be broadcast online before the release of the BDs/DVDs, and we don't know exactly how quickly that will be. That said, I think the insinuation so far has been that the OVAs will actually conclude the story. I don't think it will be an alternate ending. I think the timing is such that people will still want to buy the book first, and then see it animated soon thereafter.

Your angel called someone to her room, handcuffed him, threathen to destroy his public image and somehow got a copy of a picture that he clearly hide.
Your defination of 'angel' is quite mess up >.<

From an anime perspective, they just had a full Ayase-centric episode very recently. I suspect that placing that there was partly because they'd have to skip some Ayase scenes (among others) later on. Keep in mind that episodes are only 24 minutes in length and the goal is to arrange things to that each episode stands on its own and ends at logical points (usually either some sort of cliffhanger or clean resolution), so creating a full episode with a contained story is easier than trying to fit scenes in later episodes where the 24-minutes won't let it fit. There wasn't really a good way to insert that Ayase scene (among the others they skipped) and still end the episode on the nice cliffhanger of discovering the boyfriend (which connects back to the first half of the episode). Even stretching it the whole thing out into two episodes breaks the symmetry between the A Part and the B Part, so even if they had more time, it may not make sense anyway.

In the end, they will certainly cut things to fit all the remaining content into the time allotted. From this point forward, I suspect they're mostly going to concentrate on the central plot.

Well,you are right.But its still sad,because they skipped scenes/story parts that in my opinion are important for the development of the indivdual Characters.Especially Ayase and Manami haven't much development in the Anime so far.

Well, they'll have their scenes... but to be truthful, I'm not sure that this particular Ayase scene really tells us much about her that we didn't already know (or wasn't essentially shown a few episodes ago). I suppose every scene develops the character a little, but in terms of focusing on "the essentials", both Ayase and Manami will have scenes to come (as you no doubt know).

In the end, the anime won't be as comprehensive as the novels; that much is inevitable pretty much no matter what.

Yeah,it wasn't really anything new about Ayase but I think it was still important,because even if Ayase herself isn't developing in this particular scene ,the relationship between Kyousuke and Ayase is developing further.They could have skipped the second Episode (because its not really Novel canon) and make this scene instead.But this is just my opinion.

Well, it was written by the original author.

But that aside, it's a lot easier to budget an episode than to insert scenes here and there because they only have 24 minutes in each episode. So that's the real problem. If they could just stretch out each episode as long as they want and squeeze more things into it, then it might work. But 24-minute blocks, split into two halves that end on some sort of conclusion or cliffhanger... it's not an easy thing.

Sure it is not easy.Anyone who thinks that it is an easy job is kinda stupid...
But it would be way more enjoyable if they would have more than 24 minutes for each episode.Well,it isn't a thing that someone can change.We have to live with it.Anime is a different source than a Novel.And anyone who says that the Oreimo Anime isn't still enjoyable like it is now...well that person would just be a nitpicker.^^

Also, animated adaptations sometimes *re-arrange* material. You may get your 'handcuff' scene later in the series.

Well, it could also just be a tease. They said that things that couldn't be fit in the anime itself due to time constraints could be included on Drama CDs, so that is another option. Anyway, time will tell.

Eh, it's Kyousuke the one who call Ayase 'angel' (or to be precise, "lovely my angel") in the first place

Yeah, I get the feeling the Ayase chapter from vol 7, or at least the important dialogue/scene, will be combined with when Ayase calls Kyousuke the second time, when he's dating Ruri.

But of course, it's if that part isn't omitted as well

Eh, you missed my point. You can go on and on but doesn't matter how hard you try to belittle/make her look bad with her bad traits, the official still markets her as 'angel' (as well as yandere character, of course). You know what one of her nick on Ore no Imouto Maker EX mini game? "Angel". Even GSC staff also used the nickname when she promoted Nendoroid Ayase.

I can't speak for the other, but for me when I refer her as angel, I just simply mimicking what Kyousuke call her. It's not that wicked when character A gives nickname for character B (and on this case several times) making fans start to call the character B with the said nickname. Another example that quickly come to mind is Haganai's Sena "meat"/"niku" nickname. On Sena case it starts as an insult though

[Sumeragi]

You're just nitpicking at this point, GVN.Chaos. My Little Angel is an in-universe nickname, and as such regardless of what you think of her, such a nickname is valid.

[GVN.Chaos]

It was a joke ~.~ though. I got your point, I just pretent to not see it ~.~
