kirino is blessed with beauty, academic success, and notable athletic abilities. thus, letting her be seen as an idolised overachiever, and seemingly " perfect ". all the while, kyousuke lives life with an easygoing attitude; not particularly excelling in anything, and just blending in. for reasons initially unbeknown, the two are on particularly bad terms. they don't interact unnecessarily, and when they do, an altercation of sorts is likely to come forth. as such, the two live their lives without involvement of the other. well, that is until the day the aforementioned " perfect " girl, mistakenly allows her magical girl dvd case, to be discovered by her brother. to make matters worse, the contents inside were actually that of an eroge, depicting and romanticising lecherous acts betwixt siblings.
notwithstanding their previously strained relationship, this unorthodox discovery grants the two means to build a new foundation. being the accepting type that he is, kyousuke assured kirino he would not judge for her secret hobby of being an otaku. as such she finds a confidant in him, and while the two still ultimately fail to see eye-to-eye, kyousuke unconditionally helps kirino resolve the troubles she's bound to face as she willingly enters an otaku world, while keeping her unblemished record in the eyes of both her parents and peers.
the animation is consistently superb and the featured soundtracks are all topnotch. the characters all have far more depth to them than you're initially lead on to believe. there's noticeable development in the characters respectively as well as with the bonds they share. things will generally follow the brothers point of view, and before long he'll find himself in a harem-like situation. a few romances appear to be on the cusp of flourishing as some unique predicaments are undergone. while it's not riddled with cliche ecchi mishaps, some do appear here and there. there's a surprising amount of despondent intensity thrown in amidst the lighthearted comedic value the episodes have to offer.
all in all, while some redundant themes may come to your attention, it's worth watching.
