OP said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. this includes stuff in spoiler tags. if you wanna discuss the manga, go to the corresponding manga threads. As for the episode itself, it was back to the original formula that made Oreimo initially intriguing. The problem, though, is that we're already 3/4s of the way into the show. One of the most important aspect of most successful storytelling is character development, which oreimo has totally failed up until now. With that being said, this episode was probably the most interesting episode thus far, with all of the character contrasts (Kirino vs Kuroneko as siblings), self-reflection (Kirino and the eroge), even with the usual Kirino asshattery. The Ayase cameo was also nice, I'd gladly watch her prance about for an entire episode. |

| "She's 100% tsun and 0% dere" Kirino.....of all people to be saying such a thing. |
 |
| Besides showing Saori & Kuroneko's personal life, this was a somewhat boring filler. Just watching what they showed with Kuroneko makes me wish they'd do an OVA or something highlighting her life. Most of it was spent on showing Kirino playing an eroge game. Yeah, I know it was trying to get her to realize how bad she's treating Kyousuke by having the character in the game treat her like crap. But they did have to spend nearly half the show on that? The one thing that I was disappointed about was that there was no Manami in the episode. I expected her to show up in the episode, since she was shown in the OP. But besides Kyousuke considering to call her, she's not even mentioned in the episode. |

Apologies, I'll keep all Light Novel related spoilers out of the threads from now on. Lefake said: "She's 100% tsun and 0% dere" Kirino.....of all people to be saying such a thing. Think that's supposed to be some sort of irony. Sad she didn't see herself in the character she was criticising. If she did, she as hell didn't display it when she bitched out on Kyousuke for no reason at all for the 600th time. |

The should change the title and make it "Ore no Imouto no Tomodachi to Manami ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai" The less they show her, the better the anime seems to be. |

| XD Loved this episode. Just watching Kirino play her game.. lol~ Kuroneko so kind to her sister ^^ and Saori...is rich! :O:O |
 |
| Shit got funny again, that's all I need to say |

Sigh...It's kinda annoying how Kirino's attitude towards her brother isn't getting any better,even after this. At this point, there wouldn't be a chance for her to redeem anymore. :( |
|
| Cool to know how all characters are in their own life, but no news about kirino's anime? (or I lost a part in the previous eps?) |
RMPNG said: Where is the plot to begin with?Great, another pointless filler episode. |
| I still hope Kirino will see the irony of her hating on the spitting image of her in the game. Still, the episode was funny as hell. I loved that we got to see the "big sister" kuroneko, that was really a heartwarming moment. AND she put the DVDs she got from Kirino to good use. As for Saori... well, I was pretty confused at first. Who is that rich and seemingly rather cute girl? Why don't they show her face? And why does her voice seem so familiar to me. Until it struck me: OHSHI THAT'S SAORI! And with the maid costumes, I have high hopes for next episode. I'd DIE to see Kuroneko or Kirino in that attire. Now, if they added Maid!Manami and Ayase to that, I WILL die. In a huge MOEXPLOSION probably. |

| Strange seeing the Goth not wearing her gothic lolita clothing. I always pictured her as a girl living in a victorian mansion and wearing a long black nightgown. You know the type. The type that is so long drag across the floor I never knew a girl would get so excited playing Eroge. I didn't know girls played those type of games. Then again it's an anime. |
| Kirino is a complete bitch but its what makes the drama side of this anime so interesting. I think most people feel somewhat sympathetic towards our good-brother protagonist. Like a little sister from hell. Nice to see Kyousuke becoming good enough friends with Kuroneko to just randomly ring her to chat, he's definitely going to keep everything under control if stuff goes ill in the next few episodes. Kirino playing eroge was freaking hilarious. |
 |
| boring ep to mutch time wasted with the ero game... |
 |
| I kinda expected that Saori is a rich person |
     |
| i guess this episode was made just for the sake of showing viewers how kirino plays eroge. frankly, she kinda freaked me out. poor kyousuke... he had to put up with hearing that. from how kirino acted, not realizing that the character rinko = herself, all i can say she is an egocentric, narrow-minded and....weird girl. for this ep, i was expecting the "last life counseling" she mentioned last time, but maybe that'll be on the last ep or something? i have no idea about the novel (and no clue whether they're actually following its story), but if that's already been part of the novel, i hope they do include it or something along those lines. they finally show saori! haha! next week is cosplay and i hope she cosplays without the glasses...:D. and they show kuroneko in normal clothes and doing household chores! haha...these are the only parts i enjoyed. :) my fave characters in the show are kyousuke, kuroneko and saori. yes, the gang minus kirino. and since they wasted so much airtime on the girl, i'm not really happy with the episode. with a few episodes to go, i wonder what the producers are going for. |
orangehouse said: same here.I kinda expected that Saori is a rich person Kirino deserves Falcon or Takagi's punch for being bitchy all the time. Playing eroge, in broad daylight with your brother in the next room....get some sense already! |

Kread-EX said: Perhaps but I don't agree with this. They lots of material they can just make original animation from if they put some more effort on top of taking the original material from the LN.Like MisterSaito said, it starts to lack character dev, probably because the LN is still unfinished. Linalee-Stratos said: I think she deserves her brother to use karate or something to block her aggressive physical behavior for one and for two I think the yelling he did was a nice first move itself.Kirino deserves Falcon or Takagi's punch for being bitchy all the time. Linalee-Stratos said: I think you got that one wrong, it playing eroges without headphones and being too excited on hormones without calming yourself down is getting more sense to her IMO. Also fuck that slap Kirino gave to her brother! As much as I like her, I would give her a spanking over that and the kick she gave to Kyousuke. Also at one point, I swear it looked like Kirino was being in a sexual orgasm of some kind cause her voice sounded like a girl from a hentai when I usually listen to one.Playing eroge, in broad daylight with your brother in the next room....get some sense already! |

| I expected Saori to be someone beautiful and actually quite normal but not rich, that was a bit of a suprise for me. Kuroneko being a normal family girl also shocked me, got to like her character alot more this episode. We need more episodes of their normal lives. I love it. |

| @Fight4Glory - It isn't a plot if we're dealing with a series like this anyway. We're watching it because we just like it, that's all. (In my words, this is a series that BARELY has a plotline, so you're right. There are certain places in this series that gets most of the audience's attention.) Great episode, and Kyousuke is regaining his soldier status after getting another lightning slap from Kirino and another kick from her later on. And Kuroneko is still awesome. Now we get to see her in different clothes rather than her maschera cosplay. |

At least I learn why Kuroneko start to love Meruru...and Ayase still faithful with Kirino(facepalm)...and Kirino trust Kyousuke as I mentioned above... and omg Saori Bijinna.. Felt like this is no a filler anyway <.<" |

| Nice ep, I actually enjoyed seeing Kirino play the eroge and Kurenko being an older sister. |
| so uh, saori just became the most interesting character in this anime for me. kuroneko comes in a close second though i must say. although i doubt we will see much of saori's story in the next four episodes :( oh well anyways, i'm surprised kirino didn't realize that the girl in the eroge acts just like herself xD she must be a real thickhead that kirino |

Koi-phan said: Problem is she was raging and she did break somethings but exactly is not shown just heard. That's why I was thinking of that video. Kirino is cute but I don't think her raging side was anything than laughable at least, why waste your time in raging over a game? Go to those who created and rage at them, they made it like that since that obviously raged you. Right?Close to it? A trillion lightyears far from it is more likely....... |
| Damn even Kuroneko's imouto was adorable too. Probably it is in their genes to be that cute. I find it highly amusing how Kirino reacts while playing eroge and at the same time, grin at the irony on how she gets pissed on Rinko's character. |

Anyway,I sure want that guy to be one of the seiyu in Anime.He has talent .but I think Boku no pico's narrator is much more better than him. |
| haha love this episode! Kirino playing the eroge like some pervert guy was hilarious! Aww I didn't know Kuroneko is a older sister. Saori being pretty and rich etc, didn't surprised me that much because I saw a picture of her somewhere on the net with pretty clothes and stuff. |
| blah, it's getting pretty much boring to see how Kirino acts towards her brother and how Kyousuke just get's along with it... The only good moments in this ep was obviously Kuroneko and her little sister. Seeing how Saori is actually rich makes this show more interesting. |
| Although this episode was a relaxed filler, fans of every character should have had some fun. For me, it was Ayase. I was happy to be able to see her again. You also could see the real color of Kuroneko's eyes. Opening animation was also interesting and I wonder how those "big brother" addresses were treated like "uso x8" in episode 5. |

| First off, Kirino's scenes were hilarious. I really enjoyed her raging at her own personification without realizing it. Her expressions were also quite enjoyable. I know she enjoys her eroge but this is a bit too much, though I really don't mind it at all. Kuroneko continues to be amazing with each episode, and with this episode showing her big sister side I can now easily say that she is my favourite character from this series, by far. Also, the part where she was role-playing while her sisters watched in secret was just too cute. This series definitely needs more Kuroneko (and Ojou-sama Saori). Her little sisters are also overloaded with cuteness. I definitely wouldn't mind an episode about Kuroneko and family, much like they did with Manami. Saori being a rich ojou-sama was a bit of a surprise. A pleasant surprise. Though I guess it explains why she speaks differently on the phone than in real life. Saori has taken quite a rise in my interest, seeing as how this episode showed how little I knew about her. This episode also talked about some sort of party she was planning, and with maid uniforms, I'm definitely looking forwad to it. I'm a bit disappointed because they've wasted most of the time with Kirino and her eroge and didn't showcase characters like Manami. This was a filler episode, so I wanted to get away from the whole Kirino centric moments and focus on the characters that haven't had as much screentime. With the show on its final episodes, I am definitely looking forward to how things will end. Overall, this week was a massive improvement over last week's episode. I'm definitely looking forward to next week's cosplay episode. 9/10 Reason: Comedy level was high with Kirino playing her eroge, any scene with Kuroneko adds to the awesome of the episode and a reveal of ojou-sama Saori. For a filler episode this delivered quite a lot. |
| Well, there isn't much to say except that this episode was lovely as they usually are. I wonder how it will wrap up. (side note: drop in animation?) |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Didn't expect Saori was rich .Too bad we didn't see her eyes. Seeing Kuroneko and her sisters together was great. And a bit of Ayase as well. But why no Manami D: Kirino playing eroge was a bit fun. So much irony in there. Dunno about filler but it sure didn't feel like it. Cosplay next time. Needs some Kuroneko in there and a little less Kirino. |
 |
| GREAT episode. Kirino was too cute in this episode. Blushing when her panties dropped, how she replayed the "I love onii-chan" sentence over and over again and her reactions, during the ero scene and her ":P" at the end. Kyousuke was the man for calling Kuroneko and asking her out. Kuroneko seemed pleased too when Kyousuke called her. Nice hints there. For those who are saying no character development, just look at Kirino's face during the "bad end" when the little sister was talking about playing in the playground, and how she looked at Kyousuke afterward, might be some hints there too. |
    |
| I bet under those glasses Saori is a beautiful girl |
| Nice episode, I loved how Kirino got pissed off at a 2D character and started verbally abusing the character as if she was real. |
 |
| Thank you so much Saori~ <3 I cant wait to see Kirino and Kuroneko wearing maid outfits. = 3 |
