Mixed Feelings
Before I go into the specifics I would like to say one thing. All of these are my own beliefs and I do not expect anyone to completely agree with them or agree with them at all. But as a person who have watched almost all genre of anime, and countless number of shows (I do not really feel like adding all to my profile), I believe my opinion may help someone who has trouble deciding "Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga nai!" is worth their time or not.

Enjoyment:

Unlike other reviews, I will tell you this. I predict that 90% of the viewers will enjoy the show and never no why. There is not much in the show, but it manages to hook its viewers with its mysterious aura. It presents itself as another generic anime with small twists. That's it. Nothing out of the ordinary. Some twists are even predictable. And yet every time I ask have you enjoyed the show, they reply with a solid yes.

Story / Various aspects of the story:

Story is nothing spectacular. Small stories that lead to a predictable ending is all i can really say. The basis of the show however, talks a lot about the anime culture and can be relate-able to viewers. It is nice to see another anime that talks about why criticism against people with different hobbies is wrong. This particular message was nice but the other message wasn't. I wouldn't say it was necessarily promoting incest, but it was indirectly doing it. If I understood it correctly, it would say "Love has no barrier" or "Love can beat everything". The only problem with this is that society has such a negative perspective on incest, that the first time watching the show, it felt wrong. Of course the producers weren't going for this completely, but every time you snap out an realize the show is about incest, you will think to yourself why you are watching it.

*Another genre that I did not expect from the show was comedy. Every episode there was at least one scene that made me laugh.

Characters:

Characters are quite bland in the beginning, but begins to develop towards the end of the season getting prepared for the second season. Though they are bland, they are believable than most anime characters. The way they act is human and less of a fictional character.

Do I recommend it?
I would definitely recommend the show. If you ask me, I would have a hard time answering. But if you want a show that will lift you up and make you laugh, this is the show for you.
