Pretty much this... anime adaptations are rarely able to avoid compressing a character study without data loss. In Kirino's case (and most of the characters) we're missing context bits.

In my opinion... this was a series that really needed 24 episodes to develop properly but the market economics interfered. We still got a pretty interesting series (though shorted) but specific characters took extra hurt.
