The semantics here aren't important. My point is that Kirino wanted to make Kyousuke suffer because she was jealous of the attention he was giving to his friend Manami.

So you're argument is this: the development has yet to arrive in the series because they are clearly saving it for the final moments. OK. I will make sure to bring this up again at the end of this series.

But at this point of the story, no such answers are given. We are at the tail end already. We should already be receiving this information. Also, the LN is no justification for anything in the anime. The anime is supposed to be able to stand up on its own.

(BTW the end of Kanon was very, very badly written into the story).

Her behavior is anything but classic "tsundere." It's more psychopathic than anything.

Without a transition, it is out of nowhere. To me it was the equivalent of watching two best friends in the world have fun, then one suddenly pulls out a knife and stabs the other. It's like, wait, wut?

First of all, I am watching a series Yosuga no Sora at the moment, where there's actually incest in it and I have not complained about that show at all really.

My distaste of this series has nothing to do with me supposedly raging against incest. So I ask you, how so?

She also wants the attention of her friends. An example of this is Kirino constantly badgering Kuroneko about the anime Meruru.
