Now to go further into the actual plot it's basically Kyousuke (protaginist) figuring out how to help a bunch of middle school girls. Suprisingly it's interesting since they bring up a lot of good points are how otakus are looked down upon. I can actually relate to most of them since my family always call me otaku, and weaboo.
This show itself it one big, ball of irony also. Since Kyousuke's phylospy is that living a normal life is best, and gets stuck with a bunch of otaku (They are considered bad in Japan.) He states that people who are siscons are crazy, and only like them since they don't have little sisters while the title is translated as "My Little Sister Can't be This Cute." They also mention that watching anime will make you like incest, or become a sex offender. Kirino (the little sister) makes Kyousuke play eroge and watch anime, and again refer to the title.
Now the art really kinda sucked. Now I know every illustator has their own art style, but it didn't really stand out all that mention. The only thing that really stood out was the backgrounds. They had a lot of detail like at the whole comicon thingy it had cosplayers, and a bunch of people. This is probably the only thing that was really good since it's school life, and doesn't have like any service shots.
Sound was all right. I couldn't find many translations for the actual opening, or ending but from the little I could actually translate, and what I did find they were pretty catchy, but they didn't really fit the show. Since the first one was basically about Kirino just being tsundere.
BGM was nice too. Each character's theme was original, and didn't sound like a ripe off from another cheap anime.
Now character's is a major issue for me. Mainly Kirino she is a total b***** like seriously. She goes and treats Kyousuke like he was some kind of infectious disease for years, and then when he finds out her secret and realizes she can use him she becomes a total slave driver! Yeah, she's tsundere, but she's has like no dere! All I saw was just her picking on her brother, she wasn't even that cute about it, or anything. Also everything she does she's good at. She the star of the track team, great grades, a model, popular, writes a novel that instantly gets serialized. She's another Shiina that's how much talent she has! Character's like that really annoy me! And she's the main chick too! (I'm going by the title of the show.) Ugh, when I see her I kinda want to break something! She's not even strong idependent women, she's just a major b*****. Now this are words I don't throw around a lot but their is no other way to describe her.
Kyousuke is an interesting character as well. He was the main reason I continued to watch this show (I originally watched it since it had tsundere, but after I saw her I was like "Hell no!") He beliefs that normal life is the best. He want's to get a plain job, a plain wife, and live as plainly as possible. The whole house, wife, two kids, and a dog plan. It makes you wonder why does he think this? When I was a kid I always wanted to be a hero of some kind. I never wanted to live a plain life so why did he? Like what Keima always say "Reality is s***" so why did he want to submit to reality? And why did he always work so hard for everyone elses sake? He never really got anything out of it so why do it? And I don't want to hear the whole "well he's the protaginist." If he wants a normal life why do this stuff? He's basically the most interesting person in the show, and one of the few reason I actually watched it.
There's also Kuroneko, and Ayase who are both Kirino's best friends, and total oppisites. Kuroneko is tsundere done right along with chuunbiyou (kinda) otaku, while Ayase is a yandere, model. This developed a very interesting dinamic between the group since Kirino wants to be able to talk about how she enjoys anime, and stuff while Ayase has a prejudice. (Otaku are often mentioned when people talk about sex offender, and various other crimes. People also mention that otaku-ism leads to crime so I don't think it's alright to hate her for that.)
[Spoilers] Kinda? You've been warned.
Now before anything else I suggest you have alteast some knowledge of the ending.
[Actual Spoiler]
The ending is something that's really awful since I was rooting for Ayase, or Kuroneko the show and the show went and pulled the incest card. Now I don't hate incest (Some of my favorite manga have implied incest, and have cousin marrieds. Now i know that's not siblings but still) but it kinda half baked it since it was only a temporary relationship. Personally I think if your gonna do go all out. Like I can't see me commiting incest then dating someone else. It would really awkward to mention, and if it was a harem I wouldn't be suprised if it destroyed all the other girls affection for me. So when they did that it was kinda like what the hell. Of course I also was rooting for Kuroneko, and Ayase and really hated Kirino.
Now this show is probably for Otaku's, School Life lovers, Rom-com lovers, Incest lovers, harem lovers, and Protaginist lovers (that's me. I think Kyousukes a good one since he manages to be intersting like Kyon, and Hachiman while also helping everyone.) Or maybe if you just want to see a bunch of innocent girls suffer.
