It's been a long time since Fall 2010. Nice to see this show make its return.

So true. <3
Been waiting for such a long time, here it comes!

[finalfury]

1 hour approx left till Crunchyroll streams it. MY BODY IS READY!!!

[darktruth]

The only anime series I'll be watching now that Shirokuma Cafe's anime run has ended. Watched the 1st episode live and it's pretty much a great reminder of the characters that all appeared in the first season since just about every major character pops up here.

Kirino is just otaku as ever since returning from America lol.

Spoiler:

Her crazy amount of shopping she does in Akiba as she drags Kyousuke along with her. Gotta say interesting intro to the episode where Kyousuke has a dream of him and Kirino back when they were children and her wanting to join him as he takes a bath, just like how season one started the series.

Also, wow, I knew Ayase was violent but even she won't hold back from giving it to Kanako lol.

From that post I assume that the Second Season will continue from where it left off in the First Season's ONAs, right?
The True Route, not Good Ending, right? Just making sure, hehe.

Well...

Spoiler:

1. Long wait certainly didn't disappoint. (Speaking of which, can't believe it's already 2 years, counting the extra episodes, since last season)
2. Okay, it's mostly Kirino this episode, the same old Kirino of course.
2a. Even I can't afford that much otaku goods lol...damn you Kirino
2b. Although she did speaks my mind. God knows when will be my next time in Akiba. And of course, my shopping list is probably 10x Kirino's WITH internet buying...
3. reunion, as typical of a ClariS song as it can get. As long as it sounds good I don't care, though
4. Looks like my favorite Ayase story (Drama CD) next episode...
5. Of course, Shironeko!!!! Okay, only a cameo in the ED. Now, Kamineko coming soon?
6. Conclusion - Best anime this season so far. Knowing J.C. Staff, doubt my other two "Must watch" (Railgun S and Henneko) will beat this. Okay, RDG art is still better, but then that's P.A. Works...

Cannot wait if things are like that, sounds satisfying, really satisfying!

[Entravity]

It's finally baaacccckkk. Loving the last part of this episode. Brings back memories

[Hiroi Sekai]

Everything about this episode was just...

Spoiler for :

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

[User68604]

Yes, it very explicitly mentions multiple things from the True Route and nothing from the Good Route.

[HandofFate]

I guess a recap/intro back to status quo episode.

Nothing really happened at all, other than the refresh the characters to remind viewers who's who.

What like "what?" when dark meruru in the promo blew up the earth...

[takai]

Has it really been 3 years? Whew... Time flies. Can't wait to check out the first episode.

[Reckoner]

Ah, season 2 of "My Little Sister Can't be this ******."

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and oh dear, that couldn't be more false here.

Take the first scene of the episode. Kyousuke is trying to be nice to his sister ONCE again, even asking her about how she's doing. How does she react to this consideration? Ignores and ridicules him. Laughable. She has shown no growth since the last arc once more. This sort of back peddling is a persistent problem with the first season, and it seems it is still not resolved. Gotta keep the story going I guess.

It's also good to know that we have once more reaffirmed her mary sue qualities. She' beautiful, good at sports and academics. She's flawless! Except for her silly otaku habits of course, but aww that just makes her more endearing right?...

As usual the best parts of the episode consisted of the scenes that Kirino was not in. Still incomprehensible why Kyousuke even tries for her sister. She doesn't deserve this at all. What a joke.

Also I hope the end of that episode was a joke. She let him play her game after all that, she must've grown as a person! Past all the bitchiness right?! What a load of garbage.

That thoroughly left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm trying Kuroneko-san, but it's really really really HARD.

3/10.

[ElMikkino]

Yeah, that certainly didn't live up to my expectations. I'm not sure what would've, but certainly not this. It was so frustrating to be greeted back after the last coupla years with Kuroneko and Kirino both just having the same old personality! Like, Kirino, can't you say one nice thing? The shopping was kinda cute, but I wasn't really looking for more Kyousuke abuse...

The one thing that this episode did well was get you caught up with everything that happened in the last episode, as well as establish what the basic personalities of all the characters were (except Saori, now that I think about it). But the episode really didn't need to commit 15 minutes of its time to that...

Overall, 5/10, and it'd probably be lower if this wasn't the frickin' second season of Ore no Imouto!

[larethian]

Kimoっ! What a creepy Otaku you are, Kirino

[RegalStar]

Huh, a drama CD story next episode? I'm getting seriously worried about the pacing of this.

[larethian]

^ agree. Though seriously, this anime is merely for laughs for me, since I personally feel the 2nd half of the series is not as good as the 1st half. In other words, I actually don't care. And Kanako is the most irritating character for me, so it's nice to see Ayase going brutal on her.

[finalfury]

Shironeko bless us all. little worried about the conclusion of second season but I'm just in it for the ride and Kyousuke needs more love. So far, presentation wise, it was very good, animation is now greatly improved and the wardrobe designs are a lot better.
Kuroneko Blushing Face = WIN!!!
Guilty of watching the ED/OP multiple times for more Kuroneko ==
