Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai


                                                        
This series really surprised me, I went into it thinking it was going to turn out to be some sick incest show and ended up with something entirely different. Sure... You can tell Kirino has a bit of a liking for her brother but it wasn't on the level of Yosuga no Sora, Which was just absolute ick....

The main drawback to the series was, Kirino is not all that likable... I can't say she's spoiled or anything because she really does seem to work hard for what she has {Even though it seems to come so naturally.}.  She models, has great grades, writes novels is athletic... she's practically the whole package.  Though she's also living two lives.....

One the student/athlete/model and another the young girl obsessed with Eroge and little sisters..  Even the novel she wrote has "little sisters" in it.  Always trying to hide her secret her brother saved her numerous times.. With how her best friend {Ayase} reacted and even her fathers blow up... The idea of Kanako or others finding out could get scary... or funny.

The show was quite enjoyable...  Wish they had actually shown Saori's full face without the Cosplayish outfit on... Also wish they had a little more Manami and her family...


Weakest Episode{s}-  Episode 7 - First part was fine, The second half with Kirino researching her novel was part creepy, part boring. Looked like she was on a date with her brother. :(  
            Episode 8 -  Kirino's novel is turned into an Anime.... It just felt out of place somehow.

Favorite Episode{s}-  Episode 6 - When Kyou goes over to Manami's house for Halloween.
             Episode 10 - Ayase needs a present for Kirino's birthday and Kanako cosplays Meruru.

Favorite Character-   Kuroneko - She's cute, she's quiet, she has cat ears.
Least Favorite Character-  Kirino - She's just irritating...

Want More -  Yes.
Berry Ranking -   3 out of 5

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo

Place Holder!


Yes, I need to watch this series again to piece everything together properly.... taking such a long "break" from it was not a good idea.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo 6

Episode 6 ~   Pointage Episode.

- Gouto didn't come home for his Wedding Anniversary, He didn't forget about it though....  Seems he and his wife are trying to have children.

- A man {Date} just moves into an apartment with crazy low rent and finds out that it's haunted.
- Haruka somehow is contacted with the problem and goes to Yakumo for help.
- Ghost is a woman {Kimiko} who by description from her friends is basically "plain", She doesn't wear make-up or go out of her way to look overly attractive.
- Turns out Kimiko hid and envelope behind the mirror in the apartment, She wants it burned without being opened.
- Haruka and Yakumo go to his Uncles house, Nao's there and she's apparently trying to get some attention which Yakumo fails to notice.
- When preparing to burn the Envelope Haruka just has to take a look inside, It's a photo of Kimiko in a dress with make-up on.  She's quite beautiful.
- Kimi~Ghost doesn't seem to mind them looking at the photo and tells Haruka to "Do her best as well.".
- Yakumo's uncle teases him a little about Haruka.
- Nao's so cute.....  She was trying to show off her new cardigan to Yakumo. He finally acknowledges it and says it looks good on her.

Ore no Imouto~ 10 - 12

Episode 10 ~    Thank you, This episode was better then the last three...

Ayase goes to Kyousuke to figure out an appropriate gift for Kirino's birthday.  Going to Kirino herself really backfired and she apparently thinks he's been hitting on her friends.... "What are you, my girlfriend?"  That got himself a big slap and Kirino red in embarrassment....

On to Kuroneko and Saori to find this perfect gift, Just as it looks to be utter fail here as well they notice a poster in a window.  A one of a kind Meruru figure!  Only problem is, You have to win a cosplay event to get said figure... Bringing this idea to Ayase he even has the "perfect" character for the model to dress as.  Dark Witch Thanatos Eros EX Mode!     Yep, That got him a kick to the face this time and an enraged Ayase...

Ayase has a plan,  Enter Kanako.  The mutual friend of Kirino and Ayase.  Ayase and Kyou trick her into thinking it's some sort of audition and make her dress up and cosplay as Meruru... She looks just like her. The performance itself {singing} was great and earns her a 100% on the rating scale.

During the event there was just one little hitch, Kirino was there cheering and Kyou had to "hide" her from Kanako's sight.... Kirino didn't even realize that it was Kanako doing the Meruru skit. In the end they got the figure... then left Kanako there at the event...without her normal clothes...  heh...


Episode 11 ~    Yey!! Manami is back!   At least for about half the episode.

Kyou's mom nearly catches him playing a little sister game, thinking he was actually looking at porn she basically shrugs it off.  He's sent to the store for grocery's where he bumps into Manami...  Seems his mom wouldn't be home to make lunch the next day and Manami is good in the kitchen.

The next day, Kirino is not happy to see Manami in her house.  She's rude and a bit bitchy to the girl who is polite and extremely nice to her... Kirino even has Manami clean the living room.  Manami makes the place sparkle and even makes lunch before Kirino comes back down from moping in her room...

Kirino is happy.... nice even. Gives her thanks for the food and says it's good...  Kyou and Manami go up to his room where there's a surprise awaiting Kyou.  His sisters computer is on his desk with one of the little sister games open on the screen and... his porn magazines are left out.  In complete freak mode Kyou trys to escape out of the game before Manami can see the screen but... instead while he's worried about the computer she finds the porn magazines strewn across his bed...

All the girls have glasses, Kyou has a glasses fetish it seems!  Then it doesn't help that the escape button didn't work on the game and there was some strange... half naked girl with glasses on being used for a screen saver of sorts.

After the Manami's Visit disaster Kyou goes to what he thinks is Kirino's party, Being hosted by Saori... From the start it was a little strange..  The banner across the top of the door said "Kyousuke's Harem Party" and inside the girls are all dressed up as maids {There's those outfits!}.  Kuroneko is the cutest...  Seems they are all there to cheer Kyousuke up .

Each of them has something prepared, Not sure what Saori's thing was but Kuroneko made a Manga that was based on Kirino and Kyou... After the scene of the "Kirino" based character smelling her brothers underwear was shown that pretty much stopped dead.

Kyou finally explodes, Telling Kirino it's her fault that he's been depressed.  The entire porn/computer thing with Manami has really been hard on him even though Manami herself has been really nice about the situation.  Kirino then apologizes.... and thanks him for everything he's done for her.  She admits that without his help she would have never met Kuroneko/Saori, been able to handle things with their dad and Ayase..  She gives him a present....   A little sister game.

Episode 12 ~  "I'll be calling him something different soon enough."  

Kirino was being nice, To Kyousuke...  yes she had to have wanted something.  She did.  A Midnight release of a Eroge...  This was supposed to be her last "Life Counseling" but that didn't turn out to be true either.

Anyways,  While waiting in line for the game release Kyousuke bumps into his friend {Akagi} who he was actually pretending to stay the night with.  Seems Akagi is a sucker for his little sister just like Kousuke but she's a Fujoshi... she likes...loves gay, man on man games/things.

When Kyousuke finally gets back home with the game his attempts to get to bed are thwarted when Kirino wants him to stay up with her and play the game, After a bit of time he trys for bed again and once again she stops him... saying she wants him to see something that is embarrassing.  It's an Album of some sort,  She changes her mind.. there's a bit of a scuffle and a plane ticket falls out of the Album..

 Kirino is supposed to be going to America for track training, The plane leaves the next morning.. or that morning with how late it was.  There's a lot of emotional back and forth...

Kirino-  "I'm going whether you tell me to or not"  
Kyou-   "Yea, Go."

That goes on for a little while then... Kirino beats him up.  Knocks him out even.  He wakes up a few hours later {daylight} and finds that she apparently took him to his room and cleaned up the wounds she gave him. He goes downstairs.... his parents are thinking he's just back from his friends house and he's surprised to see Kirino is still there.

Kirino changed her mind, She didn't go to America... she'd miss her friends too much and she couldn't buy Eroge over there.

That's the end, For now.....

Ore no Imouto~ 7 - 9

Episode 7~  
   "It takes place in a post apocalyptic Tokyo and the main character goes around saving girls and rebuilding the world with them."   Well, That's not what the episode is about but it's what Kirino's new novel is about. She does do a lot of stuff.....

    The episode itself almost seemed like the start of two episodes in one full episode, Kyousuke came home to find Kuroneko sitting in his living room. She and Kirino had gotten into a "fight" after each of them read the others novels...  characters in both novels based on each other had some questionable events happen to them.
    Saori was also supposed to come over so they could all watch Meruru but, Something came up and she couldn't.  Kyou cleans up the "mess" and all three of them sit down and watch Meruru.... Some amusing comments are swapped and that's the end of that.
    Turns out Kyou's been looking at porn on his sister computer, She catches him on it and then gains... more Life Counseling.  It's rather disturbing really, The two of them basically go out on a date.... Kirino claiming to be doing research for her novel while the two of them go around town and eventually end up at a Hotel after she pours a bucket of water on herself.
     I keep forgetting this is sort of a brother/sister anime.

Episode 8 ~
      Kirino's novel has been published and it's a hit!  So much so that they are planning to turn it into an Anime.  My City.

     Kuroneko and Saori accompany Kirino to the meeting with the Anime staff, Introducing them as her "assistants".  The meeting starts off fine, Kirino has a huge envelope of notes and suggestions for the show but it ends in tragedy.. the staff rips most her ideas to shreds and try to turn the lead character into a male.
     Kirino is Crushed.
     The next day Kyou meets with Saori and Kuroneko to discuss what's going on, Saori has found out that the show is just a rushed "filler" to replace another Anime that was suddenly canceled. The three of them go to the next staff meeting without Kirino and things get a bit more interesting...
    The staff still wants the main to be a male.... so much so that they even suggest making the anime as a plot happening "near by" with an ex soldier saving the girls.... This gets Kyou quite upset and defends his sister book.
    Kuroneko even speaks up after Mr Asshole with the Glasses starts trashing the book,  She even admits she's jealous of how easy things are for Kirino and that Mr Glasses is probably envious as well. Kuroneko says she was ecstatic at the last meeting where Kirino was knocked down a few notches.. Kyou even admits {yet not out loud} that he's jealous of Kirino and pretty much hates her...
    But she is his sister... and he gets down on his knees to ask the staff to reconsider how they will do the Anime. Kuroneko even asks for them to reconsider {without the bowing}.
    In the end, Kirino gets most the things she wants. Of course she thinks it's all because of how she delivered it at the first meeting....

Episode 9 ~ 
     A day in the life of the characters, That pretty much sums up this episode.


Kuroneko's day is the cutest, She's home alone with her little sister who appears to have a cold of some sort. In "normal" clothes thru most of the day she takes care of her little sister, making her food, letting her sleep in her lap and even making a big stuffed pink thing for her.
     Closer to the end she is back in her goth clothes seemingly practicing for her cosplay and talked to the denizens of the world of darkness {Kirino and Saori} on her computer....
   Saori's day.... is a bit boring. Didn't expect her to be rich with maids and butlers... I did figure she'd be quite pretty behind those glasses and strange clothing.  Her "normal" clothes are high class.. skirt and blouse deal... You don't quite get to see her entire face but there is enough to tell she's pretty.
       She had three maid uniforms specially ordered... guess those will be explained more in a later episode.
   Ayase, Is working...modeling... she trys to call Kirino but the phone is off/dead.  She thinks that Kirino turned it off so she could study in peace... WRONG.  She would really freak out if she knew what Kirino was really doing.
   Kyousuke, I feel bad for him.  Alone at home with his sister he's trying to study in his room while Kirino is playing Eroge in the next room. If I had a sister and she made those types of noises in the next room... I'd probably have to go in there and break the game.
   Kirino got a new game, With her parents gone she certainly didn't hold back on the noise while playing... She REALLY likes those games a little too much.  Scary Much. She even had to go take a shower/bath part way thru.... before a "hentai" scene... she dropped her panties in the floor when she bumped into her brother. He pointed them out...she freaked out and slapped him.

          I feel bad for Kyousuke.

Restart.

It never fails with blogs, I get distracted with a game or something and then just don't feel like posting anymore. Not that this isn't enjoyable in ways it helps get the stress out and keeps me from forgetting certain events.

Anyways... The past month.  How did it go?  Christmas shopping and Cold Weather abound, One small ice storm, A small snowstorm and a belated "family" Christmas.  I got really far behind on most my Anime and started to mess around on Maple Story again.

Maple Story was probably the reason I stopped posting here and got behind on my shows. Now that my interest has once again wavered on the Maple front I won't have much problem keeping up here.

I need to finish a few Anime, Planning to do that throughout the week and post some wrap ups. Will post "wrap ups" of other movies I watched thru 2010 and of course the Christmas experience in general.

I need to do a lot of things in 2011, Most of it won't be all that fun and some of it currently seems impossible. I will do it though... somehow I will and must do it....
