I like Ore no Imouto a lot, but I feel that pacing is a problem to which there is no solution. It's hard to consolidate a 6 Volume (and on-going) light novel into a 12-episode anime without losing a lot. The first half and second half of each episode are non-linear chapters from the novels - ie. they're skipping around a ton so the flow just isn't there.
There is a ton of internal dialogue in the light novel which is critical to character growth but there is no way to convey all that in a 30 minute show.
Toradora is a great anime in my opinion and one of the most faithful adaptions of the light novel, but if you read it you'll see a massive amount of important internal dialogue that you can't just dump in the middle of an anime - the format doesn't work. One can only imagine how much internal dialogue is involved in a story with this kind of subject matter.
