You know, i really think the Producers messed this up. I didn't even GET that this last scene was meant to be ambiguous. If they would have done the kiss on the lips, i at least would have got that.

Knowing that it was meant to be ambiguous by the author still does not take away any of my frustration, rather it adds to it:

I don't have anything against the ending how it was meant to be. I even think this is a really great idea by the author on how to end the story. And it doesn't even bother me that Kyousuke didn't choose any of my Favourites. (the title made it kinda obvious)
BUT, the way how they showed it, was just horrible. There is literally nothing that suggested that they would resolve it like this. Everything was set up like they would go "all in" for it towards the end. All this drama with the other girls feels completely wasted the second they say "oh yeah let's end this now" (and continue it secretly - which a regular viewer like me didn't even get at first).

Or to shorten it: They've built it up making me believe there will be an unrealistic end, but in the end they made a realistic one, not clear enough and way too short, leaving me truly shocked for a bit. And i can understand the people raging about it.
I mean i seriously expected there would be a resolution like "everything has been a dream" or "oh we're not blood related after all". This would have been horrible story-wise, but atleast it would have been in the flow of the set-up...

Now what we have? An ending that leads everybody to think that their favourite characters love for Kyousuke was wasted for just a few weeks with his sister. And maybe some Kirino-Fans are mad too, thinking "that's it? they won't continue?".

Horrible direction? I don't know, but i feel like there is wasted potential. They should have made it much clearer that the end would be ambiguous.

Oh, and i gotta say this...Kyousuke really must be the most pathetic male lead character in a romantic anime ever! :C

Kyousuke becomes less pathetic if the author's intent is as indicated in the exchange at the panel quoted above. Remember the anime became a runaway hit prior to the ending of LN being written and published. Based on the newly restrictive laws in Japan regarding anime and manga, we're back to presenting ideas in code because to do otherwise would create problems for the producing company and sales. The ending is what the producers intended. It is more ambiguous than the author intended, even though the author probably originally would have written the final chapter somewhat differently and would have clarified things even further. Knowing that the kiss was supposed to be on the lips based on the author's comments should settle the debate over what he intended us to understand was the ending--and which girl Kyousuke ends up with. If he ends up with nobody he is pathetic--if he ends up with Kirino (despite the impossibility of actually showing that ending for a show with this investment and commercial expectations in Japan today) he is a brave man for seeing his love to the end.

But despite all that: I still think they should add Kuroneko and at least have a plural marriage...she is the best girl after all and she is the only rejected girl that Kyousuke has flashbacks about.
Please don't feed the trolls!

It was very satisfying to see Manami getting punched in the face and Kirino rubbing in the fact that her and Kyousuke were dating.

Kyousuke saying "Every one of them was too good for me." was pretty much spot on. Good to see him say it.

In the end, they didn't even take the incest route. I guess this anime is too afraid to take the incest any further and decides to be generic garbage till the very end.

What a bloody waste of time this whole anime has been.

I see the parallels some people were drawing between incest and homosexuality. What Manami was saying is exactly , and I mean EXACTLY what the anti-gay crowd preaches. This show was bold, but in trying to do so, it lost some overall quality, I think.

People like you always seem to think it's about shipping, and that people who didn't like it don't have legit reasons, other than their waifu not being chosen...

Maybe YOU (and the majority actually) watch anime just to "ship", but the story itself was just bad as hell. Three rejections crammed into 3 episodes, it's like a bucket list or something... Not to mention they don't have the balls to continue the whole incest thingy. I wouldn't like it if they really were together, but then it would at least be consistent.

It's a huge joke, the anime deals with a huge identity crisis and doesn't know it's an ecchi siscon anime or a real drama, but tries to be both.

Lol, don't get why people hate the ending or more precisely the last 5 minutes or so. The kiss and everything was great but their relationship was not realistic. It was the best decision for both of them, despite lingering feelings for each other as witnessed towards the end. I do love them though!

I'm totally with you! I hoped for a Kuroneko-ending, but I was okay with a Kirino-ending, too. After Kyousuke broke the hearts of almost every girl in the show, I wanted Kyousuke to end up together with Kirino in a clear "straight-in-the-face" way, but It didn't happen. Maybe because of the publisher or the producer. I don't know. But I know that the ending left me in the first moment really angry.

Horrible ending.


They basicly made Koysakas into some perverts who jsut want to screw each other for a while to enjoy forbiden incest thrill, then walk awayfrom it without consequences.

personaly i just ignore the part after their pseudo-wedding and threat it as some sort of their projection of the future, instead of the actual future. Weird story narration in this part also implyes that this aint reality.

The way I feel Oreimo ended is they confesed their feelings to each other and aknowladged each other, to later live togheter in secret relationship, awere of the fact that they cannont openly display their love in front of family and the whole world.

So are the tears of the people actually thinking this was a good ending, and then trying to give us reason why it was. Of course, the reasons the people give are a bunch of bullcrap and doesn't help their cause to justify this shit of an ending.

Learn some Realism. I thought the ending was fine. It wasn't the greatest. I agree with most of you that I rather have Kyousuke take atleast one of the girls (Kuro or Kirino). Then have all the characters be fine with it. But the author took this into matters of real life. Look into the real message.

In the end he kissed her. You can see they still have some affection. You can guess what is going to happen next.

Episode 14: 10/10
Episode 15: 8/10
Cat Fight Scene: 4/10
Episode 16: 9/10


This is exactly it. They knew they couldn't have their relationship in front of everyone so they broke it off. There was heavy foreshadowing that says otherwise though. The author probably felt large pressure from the media. Who can blame him? The show is popular...

So looks like they realized that it won't work out between them. Kyousuke is screwed now. Pretty sure none of the girls will accept him after he rejected them. Looks like a lot of people are hating on these OVA's but I found them to be good. This series was an enjoyable ride and it has now come to an end.

7/10 for the last 3 episodes.

I'd like to remind folks that nobody, not even their friends in Otaku Girls Unite! know about Kirino & Kyousuke's secret: That is to break-up after Kyousuke's graduation.

I didn't mind the incest route and was looking forward to how they will end up together, but they just broke it off and Kyou did all that for nothing? If they were gonna go that route they should have went all the way.

Honestly disappointed and terrible execution of ending the series. I still enjoyed the series overall and definitely the ep. itself except for the last few min. I just disliked the ending.

Still, even with the bad ending I'm still getting those inevitable feels of a series legitimately ending. Going to miss the series but definitely not the way it ended.

Kirino vs Manami with Kyousuke's intervention is like Luffy vs Jimbei with Sanji's intervention.

"Childhood friends can never beat little sisters." Wow.

Was a little frightened when Kirino broke Manami's glasses, was afraid that the glass pieces would hurt her eyeball.

Lol at him saying "Incest ftw, I am going for the real sister ending" haha.

And.. okay..
What the FUCK?
Seriously, that left a bad taste in my mouth. What the fuck did they meant by being lovers for limited time only @@. Dahell man, even Manami ending would be better than this piece of shit, what the fucking hell? 1/10.

I am not that upset that Kirino and Kyousuke didn't end up together.

What does upset me is these past three episodes are pointless. There was no reason to fight Manami, reject every girl, continuously proclaim is love for Kirino if all of it had an expiration date. Why was Manami's spiel so serious if they were not even planning to be together anyway?

I feel bad for Kuroneko and all the other girls who had to put up with these sibling's bullshit.

For all those Kirino x Kyousuke fans that think they didn't end up together here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_4je9a6n4w

I watched this hoping for the ending, would have liked if they had been a little more accurate at the end to the LN (like including the ring she asked him to buy for her, kiss being on the lips instead in the end) but other than that its still good.

(As for the others that were hoping an other route, what would you think would happen with a show under that name, and the fact that Kirino is probably the main heroine)

I'm happy it didn't end with an open end like the majority of these kind.

Ending gets a 7/10 from me.

This was probably the best way to conclude this show and it was even explicitly mentioned by the author that there wasn't any other way he could end it without stirring any trouble from the publishing company. If you read between the lines, it is implied that the relationship will still continue sometime in the future.

It wasn't without its flaws though. I thought the Manami/Kirino fight was really uncalled for. And once again, some scenes and characters were changed/cut from the original novel. I guess A-1 Pictures is just as bad as JC Staff in terms of adapting LN's. Why can't Oreimo season 2 stick with freaking AIC Build for god's sake?

If there's one thing I liked about Kyousuke these 3 episodes, it's the fact he had the balls to pick someone AND reject the rest of his harem in the process. You don't see that happen very often in harem anime - at least this one is decisive.

Wish people would think about the ending before raging and giving it a 1/10. You people need to be more open.

Well yeah but we pretty much know what to expect, at least the fan service is good.

Oreimo tried to address many themes at a time and didn't actually focus on anything. Instead we got our hopes mercilessly crushed by company policies.

This. It's a fricken anime, and it isn't even being broadcast on television. Couldn't the director have shown a little less restraint, and have done something a bit better and less realistic? I mean, lovers don't always follow cold logic, do they, and most definitely not in a fricken anime. A conclusion where they remained as a couple should've been doable.

I feel like the director's own prejudices interfered with this ending.

At least you knew what you were getting into. It didn't unexpectedly trash itself with the ending, which probably 99% of its watchers saw coming a mile away anyway.

You guys also need to stop giving the ending that "it wasn't what the author intended" excuse and rate the ending you saw with your own eyes. If it's bad, it's bad; if even the author acknowledges that he doesn't like it, then so be it.

Non Light Novel readers may feel aggrieved.
However, Oreimo is no ordinary anime and you have to take in the hints and subtlety sprinkled throughout the show to get the message:
From the OPs, EDs, the actions and dialogue..it all points to one Route:

Kirino Happy End.

The author also said it himself and he is somewhat pleased with how it was animated.

The ending is crap. Not because of the author, but the director of the anime and LN publishing company. But seriously, if it is my story, I want to write it my way, screw the publishers, I'll get another publishing company to print them or print the LNs myself.

In any case, I still don't see Kyousuke going out with any girls he meet in the near future after all that.

After reading the author's interview and watching the anime, I take it that they get back together for a round 2 in the future. Hope there's an OVA on the aftermath

Everything up to the wedding: 9/10
