Anyway, loved this episode. A lot of funny moments, and not only are the voices of the two siblings fit, I love Kuroneko's voice as well. This has already become my most favorite show this season as it cheers me up whenever I watch it. Since there are only a few manga chapters (scanlations) out, I'm looking forward to watching the parts I haven't seen yet (which should be soon).

I see, a story about a boy sister and young female friends who specialises in one form of "otaku" type like kirino who's into brocon, little sis theme and kuroneko who's into goth, shoujo clamp style theme (correct me if i'm wrong)...then there is shiori...
So far they introduce 4 of them including kirino.If i'm not mistaken they're more of 6 them.Poor kyousuke for being suddenly drag into their world but look at a bright side, he will get a "harem" ...this anime is interesting cuz it showcases about a certain type of "otaku" theme like yaoi/yuri, shoujo, etc and to some extend it's history of it.Probably you will learn something from it from each of the girls ^ and so does kyousuke.. No wonder Oreimo got a subforum

Well not really. Just too much to mention in this episode. If you look at my other posts they are shorter. There were in fact tons of interesting things to mention including a synopsis of insult towards insult rebuttal. I think I gave a good example of how a reaction can go from a viewer TBH.

Not checking back for a couple of days and we got a sub-forum, Nice!!
Since I already reviewed the episode in the general thread, I'm just gonna c&p it here: Quote:
Overall I gave 7/10, [actually more like 6/10] a bit disappointed since I was expecting at least a 8.5 or 9 after the 1st episode. Great review by Fraeuncismnier here's some explanation to the episode in-jokes since according to the screenshot provided a few joke got losted in translation. (BTW, I recommend Mazui sub who fixed some of their earlier translations.) - Saori Bagina should be Saori Bajeena, it's not her real name it's her handle name (though Saori do turn out to be her real first name). Bajeena is from Z Gundam character Quattro Bajeena, aka Char Aznable. - Reason for KuroNeko and Kirino to be distracted by her handle name is because the name Saori is usually reserved for characters that were rich, pretty, polite, smart, aka. perfect in most anime and games and Bajeena is Char's alias, that's why they were so against Saori using that name. This is one of the part I mentioned that should be extended as the novel and manga make this eazier to pick out by stressing that on the net, Saori type like a well-mannered lady and couple with her handle-name all three [Kyosuke included] were expecting a pretty, well-mannered girl but turns out to be a stereotypical Otaku. - KuroNeko's suggestion were not "Ultimate Gundam" or "Bigzilla" It's "Psycho Gundam" and "Bigzam", both are HUGE-ASS mobile suits from Gundam series and to keep relevancy to Bajeena Gundam theme and obviously insulting Saori's frame. - And yes the anime cut-scene is a parody to Code Geass and Darker Than Black, two real anime that can be categorized as the same type of anime Kuroneko likes. - BTW Saori is suppose to be 180cm or roughly 6ft tall basing on Character bio on novel, same age as Kuroneko, a year older than Kirino and 5 cm (2 in) taller than Kyosuke. So she is a big girl. Lastly, the part Fraeuncismnier didn't get was that most of the POPULAR all-age on-going anime are slotted during the weekends. Since they were fighting which anime is the better and more popular one, Kuroneko pointed out that the anime Kirino liked is not popular enough to be on during the weekend despise being an all-age battle-magical girl anime therefore Kirino's anime is the inferior anime to Kuroneko's Maschera is the better anime and is the featured anime for the timeslot they were arguing about.

As for the dinner scene, I'm ambivalent about it it. Probably unnecessary but didn't take anything away either, IMO. |

Like I said, the focus of this episode is the net meeting. Especially the second one where it was impotant due to the introduction of KuroNeko and Shiori. Yet that second meeting to me was the least executed due to some of interactions being cut. Therefore I have to find segment(s) that were unnecessary for the the episode and the opening scene along with the scene immediately follows the dinner was the two scenes that stood out. The latter extended too much and can go directly to Kyosuke clearing the H-game scenario. But the problem for me was really the opening scene. It is a scene that can be used at anytime to fill space and could be used better and tie-in better to latter episodes for more impact. Yet, that scene ends up on this episode where there is already a focus [net meet] and that focus ends up to be the most lacking segment compare to the original work due to the addition of that scene and that was my problem. That opening scene was utterly useless in "this episodes" since it did not enhance rest of episode 2 nor was it really relevant to this episode. I'll admit though, I'm watching this series with background that I'm up to date with the novel so I know how the event flow, which is the main cause for my complain on this scene since the timing of this scenes really seems awkward to me and it takes time away from what I consider to be the highlight of the original material that was covered. I'm going to wait for episode 3,4 to see what happen. Because in the novel and manga timeline that scene should be somewhere in episode 3 or 4 and before i say anything more, i should wait and see how they'll fill in the blank left by moving that scene up.

have been a bit busy the past few days. I don't think I have much to say. fun episode. liked the OP song, probably not the animation. and there were truly enjoyable interactions especially between Kirino and Kuroneko.
can't say that I like Kana Hanazawa's voice; but I didn't feel really bother by that. not enough Manami is just sad; and they had to cut some interesting interaction she had with Kyo. they better put that scene/conversation later on, but I can't get my hopes up. Quote:

Wait what whoa, Kuroneko being older than Kirino I can believe, but Saori is as old as her hence still in high school and not college? Somehow I got the impression that she is, that she's the oldest out of all the girls in the group...maybe it's because her huge posture (seriously, she'll be great in basketball team) or maybe because she's a good leader of all the group, but that really surprised me...

What Genre is Ore no Imouto under as of now?
Wikipedia claims it to be Romance , comedy and drama. Would the hint at romance be incest(Sex between blood relation)? Or will is it hinting at something possible in the future for Kyosuke/Kirino? |

Just watched the first two eps and I am surprised how much I liked it. I read the manga and dropped but it focused a lot more on how cute the sister was. The anime seems to give the attention to everyone more.
And Saori Bajeena.

Again, I also felt you didn't read my post as well. and I don't like to repeat myself as well. (if you want to play that way) I clearly stated that I didn't have problem with the scene itself, and gave kudos to the stuff the added (boys talking about SisClays). What I did have problem is when that scene is taking away times for what I believe as the MORE IMPORTANT part of the episode and compare other segments of the episode, it is the MOST EXPANDABLE. If you disagree, show me another scene that should be taken out instead to make room for stuff I thought shouldn't have being cut from the novel. As for Kirino's confidence level. While she was not aggressive during the gather, the main problem was not her confidence, it was that she was so out of place to begin with. Again, this was elaborated in the novel and should have been kept. Kirino is part of the "cool group" in school, in fact, she is the "queen" were every girl looks up to. While she was reluctant to join conversation the main issue was because she noticed that other girls were not giving her a chance to join in not because she didn't want or try to join in. In novel, Kyosuke's analysis clear up the meeting scene a lot. (and one of the part I thought should have been kept) He noted that just by looks along, Kirino doesn't fit in, and the rest of group are sending off signals like "why is this cool girl here?" "She is not part of us", what's with her outfit." .... Kuroneko even noted in second meeting criticize Kirino's look saying that the look "would be fine going to a date or shopping in Shibuya [an high-end shpping district in Tokyo], but not casual meeting like this, and especially not an otaku meeting." and while anime didn't point that straight out it did say the fashion "does not belong in Akiba" Quote:
Let me just ask you one thing... Why would Kirino's friends thought she had a boyfriend just by her checking her phone? It's not like she just turned Otaku, Kirino's been an Otaku for a long time and a hardcore one at that. Was THAT the first time she check anime blogs in school? Was THAT so out of norm that her friend asked her if she got a new boyfriend? Quote:

Agree, despise the letdown in ep.2, I still think this is better version than the manga and while I still think novel is better, I thought episode 1 was actually better than novel.

Bumped with this show almost by accident and I am still surprised about how much I liked the first two episodes.
Don't know a thing about the source material, but if the focus remains on otakuness I may end up liking this show an awful lot more.

Saori is brilliant as a comedic character, and Kuroneko is just pure awesome.

I think the drama CD covers most of the stuff you're talking about here. Maybe one of the reasons it's cut short in the anime is that anyone who's read the novel would have gotten hold of the drama CD, which spends 25 minutes on what the anime covered in about half the time, whereas viewers introduced to the series via the anime wouldn't know any better.

I do understand the point that you are trying to bring up; I do understand that you wanted scenes to be taken out because it was taking time and space from the stuff that mattered the most for you. But when you are saying that the opening scene was "unnecessary", "utterly useless", "did not enhance the rest of the episode", "nor was it relevant", and "the most expendable"; do you really expect me to agree with your assessment of that particular scene if you put it in those words? I had elaborated on the importance/significance that scene plays within the episode; I had tried to bring in the bigger picture and how it relates to the development/exposition of Kirino's character---although in very few words. do you agree/disagree with my assessment/interpretation of the scene? do you still think is "utterly useless"? I'm not exactly trying to argue anything else besides this. Quote:
