My point was to understand the parents' point of view. Kyosuke is the elder sibling, of adult age, and a male. Kirino is the younger sibling, still a child, and a girl. Of course Kirino is going to get more attention. Kyosuke has shown that he gets annoyed when he's put up to his sister's standards, but at the same time, he's fine with it. Note how the only time he gets into trouble or argument with his parents is when he's willingly defending Kirino's eroge hobby.

It seems the entire family cares about Kirino in their own way, but there really is no way someone like Kyousuke can be considered an adult. He's only 16 or 17, and that's not even a legal adult. Heck, the term "young adult" was only invented because family psychologists were struggling with how to refer to people who are no longer children but, more importantly, not quite adults. His parents have pretty much proven that they don't care much for him, and he seems to have adopted the same attitude toward them, probably as a survival mechanism from when he was younger. And I don't think it's so much he's "fine with it" as he is "resigned to it." Possibly the worst "normal" parents I've seen in anime in a while. Poor Bro-suke...

Well, now we know that Kyousuke's father is also tsundere, what with episode 5. As far as Kyousuke goes, I'm beginning to wonder if the guy's broken in the head. It's amusing that he throws his pride away in order to protect Kirino, but then again, protecting Kirino seems to be what he takes pride in. I think the fact that he stopped caring what his parents thought about him, for whatever reason, is why he's able to basically kill other people's expectations of him.

Which is why I'm looking forward to next ep where it seems they will put more focus on the childhood friend Manami. If there's anyone so far that seems to really appreciate Kyousuke and will be more than willing to give him a hug, it's her. And he really does need one, he rivaled Touma in sheer martyrdom at this point.

I'm getting irritated at Kyousuke allowing himself to be Kirnio's lap dog, but it isn't entirely her fault. Kyousuke brings some of this on himself - he should really stand up for himself and not simply be content to be her dog. He's not doing her any favors by simply doing her bidding - if he wants to help her, he should tell her flat-out "If you want people to save your ass, you better learn to start treating them with a little respect". She'll learn to be a better person that way, but before that happens, he's going to have to learn a little self-respect.

Mmm idk Kyousuke's smile always makes me think he's a lot more clever than he lets on. He's prolly just as intelligent as his lil sis, just lazier. By allowing himself to take orders from her he draws closer to his little sister, isn't that what every big brother wants?
