Kirino has a cute butt....thought I would just get that out of the way. Love her obsession with imouto and the huge collection she keeps hidden in her closet which reminds me very much of the collection in my closet, impressively disturbing. A popular heroine with a hobby that is not quite accepted by her peers, reminds me of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. The brother, Kyosuke, is a great contrast from Kirino. Reminds me a lot of Kyon except way more willing to cooperate with the somewhat unreasonable heroine, even going so far as to make himself out to be a perverted siscon to cover for his sister in front of family and friends. The other characters were all entertaining to watch; an old school, glasses wearing otaku that is way too friendly, a dark, gothic lolita girl who would be obsessed with series like Rozen Maiden and Loveless (teen complex....oh high school anime fans I don't miss you), the normal friend that is borderline yandere, a rabid yaoi fangirl obsessed with homosexual men, they are all fun to watch. The animation is great and gives a lot of attention to Kirino's cute butt....*cough*I love the way they handled the last episode with the whole visual novel choice dialogue. It applied the main otaku focus of eroge and used it to give us multiple endings. L.O.V.E. it!~ Kirino no oshiri ha tottemo kawaii deshyo~! Sisterly Kirino is also cute.
The Bad:
Normal girl is normal....to the point I can not remember her name and just call her normal girl. Kirino constantly beats on her brother in the style of "violent retribution for minor infringement"with little reason a lot of the time just without such cartoony violence like is standard for that. Would have liked more backstory for the siblings and why they were so distant from each other for so long.
The Ugly:
Nothing in particular. I can not really think of anything I hate about this series.
A solid series that is emotional in a lot of ways and never too much of a downer. I would recommend it to almost anyone. Kirino has a cute butt.
*My reviews are read like lists so I just write down whatever comes to mind so sorry if it seems a bit scatterbrained. I tend to write just snippets but will still write more about something if I feel I should. Not exactly writing to be helpful, I just like writing my thoughts down.
