Mixed Feelings
Did anyone honestly think they would allow an actual incest ending in this non-hentai anime? I swear the only place you could really get away with going through on that sort of thing is a visual novel, light novel or hentai OVA. You'd never get away with it broadcast anime, not even in DVD specials.

I hate OreImo now. Not because I'm opposed to their little incestuous relationship, but because it doesn't make any sense. It came completely out of nowhere and if you think it didn't then you're the problem. He was in a perfectly happy and healthy relationship with the other girl until he decided to be a degenerate and break up with her for his actual blood-related sister. I'm not mad about the incest, I'm mad he broke up with her at all. It doesn't make sense. He clearly liked her, and their relationship is one that they can't go to jail for. I'm a big fan of first girl best girl. If protagonist has an established relationship or pairing already, nothing aggravates me more than the forced drama of another girl also liking him. It's played out, it's annoying, and I hate it. Then further, to have him leave his established relationship for the third wheel is just about the worst decision I think you can do creatively. The fact that the third wheel is his sister is just icing on the cake.

But they seem like they're committed to the bit, and despite all logic an reason having to be thrown out for the sake of getting the siblings together in a relationship, it looks like they're going to go through with it. Then they rug pull you at the end anyway. Now protagonist-kun is left with a failed incestuous relationship because both of them came to their senses and realized it would never be allowed on TV, and no way to go back to his previous happy relationship because they just spent the last year burning every single bridge they could think of. They've now got all of the ruined relationships and social outcast status of an incest couple with none of the incest. They've so royally f*cked any prospects or even friendships they might have had outside each other by being so very publicly involved that there's no recovery for them. I don't care what they seem to think, there's no magic reset button and no going back to life as normal, and for how stupid all of it was I think they probably deserve it.

So yeah. I didn't like it. 6/10
