OreImo Review (The sorrows of the best brother ever)

The title of this slice of life anime is extremely suggestive. When I saw it, I thought it was some anime about incest. I mean, its called “There Is No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute”! But even if Slacker watched this kind of stuff, he wouldn’t suggest it to me so I decided to trust him. Like I trusted Cyborg before I watched Sono Hanabira *shudder*.

Saori, Kuroneko, Kirino, Manami and Kyosuke

But luckily, that’s as far as the incest theme goes. The series is about Kyosuke Kosaka, a regular high school student, and his attempts to help his tsundere younger sister, Kirino, with various problems. Kirino is a top student, star track athlete and model. Basically she’s perfect.

So why does she need Kyosuke’s help?

Because behind her seemingly flawless personality, she is an otaku. Apparently in society, otakus are actually looked down upon.  People that have obsessive interests in anime, manga or video games are the equivalent of geeks. Go figure. Kirino’s interests are a childish anime and eroge games about little sister incest (she only likes it as a game!). She’s able to keep up the image of a wonder girl by hiding all evidence of her otaku nature.
