This episode really did deliver. 5/5, I laughed a lot, and the serious scenes were well done too.

I'm still hoping for Kirino to come back in the last episode (even though it was nice to see the characters mentioning her quite a few times), it's just not the same without her. I loved it when Kuroneko told Kyousuke she loves him as much as his sister.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention that the OP was great, it was definitely a good way to start the episode. And thank God they chopped down on Manami moments, I was afraid she would ruin these episodes.

Best part was in the opening with Manami and Kyouseke's corpse/ghost.

I didn't really pay attention to the OP's during the first watch of the series and regret that now. Hopefully someone will upload them all to YouTube.

Well yeah, a character that's not there for at least 3 of the 4 episodes can't be a main. She's merely the unseen motivation behind Ruri's and Kyousuke's actions (Ruri feels like she has to surpass her and Kyousuke became close to Ruri as a result of her not being there anymore). The specials are basically completely centered on Ruri and Kyousuke and their way of living now that Kirino is not there anymore. I don't see why this pisses you off so much. Kirino will be back to main status once they announce a season 2.

Consider how this is an extension of the the series which is she was the centerpiece, and how she was present in episode 12b and will be back for the last one. Plus, the series name is still entitled to her.

I'll give you a few points there but the whole title part is ridiculous there. Plenty of series have title characters who end up kicked into secondary roles (Toaru Majutsu no Index's Index is one of them).

Anyway, even though they're a continuation, the specials change the mood and set the spotlight over two characters in particular. It's basically as if we state "volume X focuses on Y character". Kirino is a main of the series as a whole, I don't think anyone can disagree but that's not the issue here.

There were so many hilarious quotes and scenes in this episode. The RPG game Akagi was making was hilarious, and the characters sure said a lot of things that I didn't expect they would.

I enjoyed the scene when Kuroneko was in Kyousuke's room. Kuroneko really is awesome <3

I've always loved the OP of the OreImo series, this one was great as well. The song is really addicting.

Overall, these episodes have surprised me at how good they are, and how much I enjoyed them. This series has become one of the series that I enjoy most, and I hope there will be another season covering even more of the original story.

Really starting to dislike Kuroneko! She seems to be competing with Kirino...and Kirino is not even there! She gets upset with Kyousuke for treating her like a substitute for Kirino, but insists on calling him nii-san when they're alone. This girl is a head case.


I'm just waiting for my favorite character in this show to return. Hopefully she comes back next episode b/c the show is not the same without her. The title for the next episode seems to hint that there will be a second season and hopefully its true. Other than that, this episode seemed bland, but w/e. It was kind of enjoyable nonetheless. Waiting period begins : (

I also thought I would miss Kirino, but I don't miss her at all. The show is even better without her, though is feels a lot different.

Well, if they wait a little I'm sure there would be enough material for another season. Actually, the material they have at their disposal atm is the one that actually starts to answer some of the lingering questions that made the first season an uneven experience, mostly why the hell does Kyousuke and Kirino had that complicated relationship to begin with.

Show is still good but not as funny without Kirino. Hope she comes back in the last episode. She's (primarily) what made the first season so damn funny.

Don't get me wrong, Kuroneko is great, but she's a lot funnier as a foil to Kirino.

I really don't understand what people like about Kirino. She treated her brother like dirt and was mean to all her friends for most of the season.
She was unfunny and i even had trouble watching her scenes most of times.

Just marathoned through the OreImo specials today, and I've gotta say..

Ruri is definitely better than Kirino ^^

If only Kyousuke saw it as this. Can't wait for the last one. Here's hoping for a second season as well.

Seriously, these OVAs really tick me off. Not because they're bad, but exactly because they're good. We've been stuck with that brat's tantrums through 12 episodes, acting like everyone around her is trash, ungrateful, prideful b....
And then we get Ruri at the end, and OMG! WANT MOAR!
And THEN we get a slap in the face from the creators "Ooops, we only have 3 episodes with her" (I don't count the Alternative 12th episode)
I Mean COME ON. This show clearly should have been about KuronekoxKyousuke.

Of course they don't have to. Neither do they have to make good anime, with likeable characters and interesting story. They are free to create whatever they want, including ungrateful brats, and wuss protagonist who should have taken a stand, instead of letting himself be pushed around. And other people are just as free to like this kind of crap, albeit that makes me question their taste.

But guess what. Just as authors are free to do it and viewers are free to like it, I am free to not like it, think they completely failed when choosing main characters, and state the above opinion. I am also free to think that this show wasted 12 episodes on an ungrateful, bratty bitch instead of focusing on a really cute and likable character, and that it would've been better off throwing Kirino out on the second episode.

Now, of course this is only my opinion, but since it IS my opinion, I will continue to think that I am right, because if I didn't, It wouldn't be my opinion now, would it? And since I think that I am right, I don't see anything wrong with stating that I think I am right.

PS:
Very well, about those "redeeming qualities" - let's hear some. Other than "good-looking" that is. Good looks is pretty much a standard in anime, not a quality.

So, because it goes against your preferences, it's automatically bad, and makes the author's taste for writing bad as well? Boy, you can't be more self-centered, can you? Let me ask, since it fails to appease you, why then, are you still watching it?

I agree whole-heartedly. It's frustrating how good this special is & the TV show being pretty "Meh" with the only entertaining parts being the back & forth comments between Kuroneko & Kirino....

To me it seemed like Kuroneko was going to confess but in the end she didn't and encouraged Kyousuke to go to the States.
And when he goes to the state first thing Kirino says and what are you doing here.
She certainly is a nice sister...
