Ore no Imouto is unique, it really is. It is unique, but quite typical at the same time, which makes it somewhat unique, right? Well the story revolves around Kyousuke and his tsundere, all tsun (urban dictionary tsundere if you don't know it), and barely any dere younger sister, Kirino. Kyousuke has had a rough relationship with his sister for the longest, until he finds her little dirty secret of being an otaku. Now he has to give her life counselling, sounds somewhat normal, right? Well it really isn't, the sister is a major, major, major otaku (crazy about anime and games) and for some odd and illogical reason likes little sisters......

Story (7):
The summary will suffice and it's nice seeing how Kirino's obsession and hobby develops and the brother and sister relationship changes throughout the series, but be warned it's still an anime. So expect awkward moments and impossible situations to occur (bro-con, sis-con, etc.). The most interesting part of the plot is seeing how the main characters develop, especially Kirino, but I'm not going to spoil anything.

Art (7):
Very nice, the animation is quite smooth and the characters don't look awkward or anything. They actually look quite nice and help depict the characters personalities quite well. An example would by Kyousuke himself, looking at him and you can easily get an easy-going and plain vibe from him. Another would be his own sister Kirino, look at her and you get the feeling that you're looking at a princess (take it however you like, this is not a compliment in my opinion).

Sound (8):
It's actually quite nice, the OP is quite nice depending on your taste in music. It's typical and catchy J-pop kind of feel, I personally did not love it, but I admit it was catchy. The ED was changed every few episodes to highlight the main topic of the episode or arc, it was an interesting change of pace and everyone will have a favourite, as the EDs range from J-pop, soft, and J-rock. Voice acting is quite nice, it fits each character quite well as none of them feel out of place (VA of Kyousuke, voiced Tomoya from Clannad).

Character (9):
Characters are by far the best of the entire show, they're all so unique. Ranging from the easy-going and nice-guy Kyousuke to the eccentric and hilarious Saori. The conversations between all the characters are always quite hilarious, from sarcastic comments and immature banter, loving remarks, and kinds works between each other.

In conclusion, I didn't enjoy the serious as much as I have some others, but I saw high value in it. It's an enjoyable show, but it's filled with awkward, eccentric anime moments. Believe me the portrayal of otaku in this show can be taken as hilarious, insulting, or just plain embarrassing.

Enjoyment: 6
Overall: 7
