Well,whatever no one is going to notice this (at least the anime only viewers).I mean Kirino and Manami (and Kyousuke) even hadn't the conversation about the past... EDIT:And the new hairstyle was for this conversation if I remember correctly;Kirino said something about preparing for the last boss with this new hairstyle |

About this rumor, I read on discussion boards about people that came back from Otakon 2013 talking about Oreimo 2's controversial ending and none of them talked about this rumor like it never happened, going on about how the siblings get together and just break up in the end, causing no one to win and making lots of fans angry. Basically, I am just saying that this rumor seems to be false because no one mentions it.

In the end, regardless of this, the sum of what I've read suggests that the ending of the anime is exactly the same as presented in the LN, with the very same degree of ambiguity... so will basically result in the very same arguments that were had in the first place when the novel came out that have to do with how to properly interpret the epilogue.

Quite frankly, the only thing this series managed to do is put a band aid on the "sibling" relationship between Kirino and Kyousuke. Kyousuke, as a person, is still the same self-centered asshole from Kirino's childhood. The only thing that's changed is the target of his self-destructive behavior. Some change. Likewise, the lack of a real epilogue really leaves a lot of concern for his future. (Not in terms of Kirino, but rather a job, education, etc..) He gives off a really "washed up" vibe, for the above reasons. |

It's not like he isn't also aware of his limits and of society's bounds, but he can't very well leave an opening in this situation. Rejecting everyone else cleanly and with no ambiguity is a form of kindness, even if it's painful medicine at the time.

Maybe it is just me but when I read the novels, in the end it made feel that there was an almost sure chance that they would continue their relationship after the second kiss. However I think I didn't quite felt the same with the anime, maybe because some scenes in the novels that helped create that feeling weren't included. Well, also maybe the fact that in the novels it doesn't exactly say where he kissed her and her reaction seems more much surprised than normal, that would have definitely given more hope to the anime-watchers.

That point is further proven when he casually he accepts Kirino's proposition.. It's as if he threw in the towel before he even gave it a chance. Pretty weak. Of course, he was probably going for a "what-if" scenario, just like in an eroge... but that's exactly what makes him immature. Real relationships aren't about "what-ifs". Sure, he might have mended his relationship with his sister... But what do you think will happen to the girls? Things aren't going to slide so well when they find out the truth. |

Well,that's kinda the whole point.We don't really know what will happen next.We don't know if Kirino and Kyousuke really are returning to be just siblings or if they will continue their little secret realtionship (even though the author pointed out that he meant the two to be romantically together forever).Maybe they will continue and the other girls will be happy that their lost wasn't for nothing or they will be really angry about it because they were rejected without any reason.The only thing to say is that this story had to be like this (it had to look like a game) because degenki bunko etc. wouldn't allow a full fledged incest ending where Kirino and Kyousuke really are facing the society in a serious way.You have to draw your own picture in the end to really put an end to this story.

a) To Kuroneko because he's made his decision and needs to get it off his chest even though breaking up with her was really hard. b) To Kirino because she's stubborn and he needed to make sure she miss the point of what he was trying to say. (They both knew full well that marriage between the two of them was impossible, but the issue was making her admit her feelings.) c) To Manami because he had to make it clear that he was choosing this path, even though it was objectively crazy (as Kirino points out). He also has a pattern of resorting to rather extreme public displays as a way of making his point, as shown throughout the whole story. It's basically a sort of personal social suicide in order to get through to the other person. I don't think he intends it like a "game", but as a symbol of sincerity. Quote:
In the end, regardless of the form the relationship takes (since their desired form may not be feasible), his intention was still to clearly choose her above all the other women in his life, and that doesn't really change. It's not like he's "back on the market". If anything, I would think their friends will understand that them being in a clear romantic relationship isn't easy in their situation, but will realize their feelings for each other are the same no matter what. In practical terms "we're not dating" doesn't really change anything to anyone else.

So I just finished the OVA's, they were good I laughed, cried, and everything in-between. I feel better about everything seeing it put into anime, it's so hard to judge the ending of the novel since I'm a more visual person so seeing the OVA episodes put my mind at ease.
With that I'll get back to driving cross country I've wasted enough time watching anime on my phone using McDonald's wifi lol. |
