I’m not going to use arbitrary numbers since that’s not going to help you understand what I just watched. Well, this is it. The end of this week long journey. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (or Oreimo [or My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute])’s final 3 episodes. Everyone lost their god damned minds, but in the end logic and reason prevailed in this tale of weird situations and awkward misunderstandings. I was near the end of my rope when I thought all hope was lost, but in the end it wrapped up the series the best way it could. Setting aside the “what if”s, “should have”s, or “if only”s it ended up in a much different place than I expected.

Art’s the same, sound’s the same, done. I feel like the potential was wasted and the story is less effective as a result, but despite what you may have read in other reviews I believe that asspull at the end justified all the craziness of these 3 episodes. I feel like the series should have ended on the note at the end of the second season, because that would have avoided me throwing my arms up and screaming “everyone’s an idiot!” but who cares. I certainly don’t at this point, because some crazy shit goes down for the finale. If nothing else, watch it for that. Luckily the characters in the show were very aware of how unnatural the Kousaka siblings’ relationship was (even they did) so that’s a healthy dose of sanity I’d been craving. Maybe if I rewatch it, it won’t be as bad the second time around. All I all, as a final sum up: this show made me laugh, smile, get emotional and occasionally pull my hair out. I don’t regret a thing.

What I thought were undertones were blatant expressions of affection. Not my cup of tea (I usually drink a robust Irish Breakfast), but if you’re into that whole “siblings can be lovers” thing, go right ahead.
