As for the "I hate her" bit... I think the more sensible way of interpreting that line in context is more like "I hated the fact that she was so successful" or "She made me feel incompetent and I hated her for that"; it was a jealous statement, not an angry statement. He definitely doesn't hate her in the way one might hate "their enemy" or anything. Quote:
And yes, I'm glad to see you're back to posting again.

I don't get it, this anime is sending so many mixed signal....
I will admit that it bugged me a lots seeing how after previous episode, Oreimo (anime) was treated by many as God, even when i found it's nonsense and illogical in many degrees. But then after watching this episode and thinking that "maybe the characters and storyline are not so bad after all", it surprised me how the majority of us speak like this is an absolute failure... Similar to Kyousuke and Kirino relationship. Last episode it bugged me out how no one mentioned that their relationship suddenly became unnecessarily close (Kirino behave like a brat while Kyousuke failed to knock some sense onto her). And then after this episode, i thought Kyousuke finally treated his sister in the right ( or not so over-dramatic) way. But then the majority of us complain about how he should let Kirino doomed with the anime adaptation Weird , isn't it? Btw, can someone send me a message summarising about what was cut out during the adaptation of this episode?

Wonder if the animation team at AIC kind of uses this episode to poke fun at themselves for having to do popular manga and LN adaptation like Imouto instead of making original anime. Maybe that Super robot hommage was some ones pet project that was shot down . Still, it would be rather insulting to Tsukasa Fushimi if they mean it that way.

this episode was seriously annoying.
she's one in a thousand fan writers who gets their crappy novel made into an anime, and she can't handle a little artistic license. brothers emotional speech aside, changing the lead into a male character probably would increase the ratings, and she wouldn't be complaining when royalties start pouring in. ok, now having said all that...I do understand her feelings. I often get incensed when an amazing book is ruined by some directer somewhere. loved that scene somewhere around 20 min where brother is begging on his knees, but it looks like he's looking up goth girls skirt.

^ oh I was thinking the same thing; no wonder why he looked so familiar. The person on the left (Hideyuki KURATA) is credited for the series composition and screenplay of this show. now, who might be the outspoken person next to him?... Yamakan, maybe. :P

Dissapointed , Kirino is always acting like a complete bitch. I really hate her sometimes , I'm not sure if she just doesn't notice that he has been doing a lot for her or maybe its because he didn't do shit for her until finding out her secret. But its really getting on my nerve.
I felt really weird and embarrassed (why?) when he started begging , very bad scene for me but i guess it got through ! Kuroneko really stood out to me in this episode. Much respect for giving her full and complete honest opinion. love you ! : D . |

I'd say Kuroneko is on par with Keima Katsuragi for best anime heroine/hero this season.

And thanks for the welcome. I hadn't been watching a lot due to limited time, but this season I am, so that's mainly why I came back.

Her parents had *no* part whatsoever in the writing of the novel, so they have *no* right whatsoever to sit at the negotiating table! Most certainly not. Kyousuke's father regards him as a completely hopeless failure. Remember episode 3, where he calls him "You worthless son!". He just did the research on the article that one time because he hoped to prove how right the article is, and how "worthless" and even dangerous anime as a hobby is. To his dismay, the article turned out as being porrly written and researched, meaning a loss of face for him because had fully subscribe to the article's opinion about how worthless and dangerous anime is. Thus, his father is the last one he can expect help from. First, he's not inclined to help Kyousuke because he regards him as worthless. Second, if the father helped him, he might incur another loss of face, which he certainly would want to avoid. Third, the father still regards anime as "worthless", so helping that Kirino's novel gets turned into an anime would be the very last thing he would want to do.

Why are Soconfused and Hypernova's statements disturbing and shocking you so much? There's all sorts of laws and regulations that treat adults differently from 14 year olds. There's all sorts of things that 14 year olds are not legally allowed to do that adults are. These can vary from country to country (and even between different provinces or states within the same country), of course, but it's hardly rare or uncommon for the law to treat 14 year olds differently from adults. Personally, I don't see a problem with a 14 year old having her novel published, and having it adapted into an anime, with out parental involvement (although, in such cases, I would like for the 14 year old to have some sort of adult legal counsel provided to her). However, it's hardly shocking for a person to think otherwise. I also disagree with you that Kirino's parents should actually be barred from sitting in on negotiations pertaining to her business ventures. As her parents and legal guardians they absolutely should have a right to sit in on major business ventures pertaining to their adolescent daughter. I don't think that they have to be there, but they certainly should have the choice to be there if they want to be. Edit: Upon reading over all of Hypernova's post (the one that Himeji quoted), I may be mistaken. Legally, Kirino's parents may have had to be there. I don't know what the age of consent is in Japan for signing legally binding contracts, but if it's over 14, then yes, Kirino's parents had to be there.

The beginning of the series has her compartmentalizing all these differing aspects of her hobbies, but without forcing her to make occasional choices between them. I'm not talking about things like Ayase and her father's judgment, I'm talking about things like scheduling conflicts, or being overworked, or suffering from stress.

You can't sign a contract in Japan until you're 20 years old, far as I know, and that might not change for quite some time since according to this poll from July 2008, almost 80 percent of those surveyed disagreed with even 18 and 19 year olds being granted the privilege.
So as for Kirino being able to enter into a contract by herself... yeah... maybe the anime producers were more desperate to have an anime made to replace that one than we realized. That would actually make the premise somewhat more believable for me, in a way (Kirino getting her own anime made from just one Light Novel at age 14, that is), to think that this was just a really shady, desperate group that was so desperate for a replacement anime they behaved in really weird ways. Because yeah, unless there's some exceptions to the rule that I'm unaware of, 14 year olds entering contracts is pretty horribly illegal. |

They've just shown her collapsing in exhaustion this episode. That wasn't from sadness of the series getting butchered. Although it was most likely the straw that broke the camels back.
