What do you guys think about Oreimo?
Original Title: Off-putting but enthralling
Oreimo after rewatching the first season it dawned on me why it was so enticing , because it is something that almost pushes the viewer away , it starts with unusual mediocrity but bursts forth living up to its title , the character development is good and the general evolution of the show is well-paced . You are drawn to sympathise with the MC and see everything from his point of view , while the show lets you realise that something else is taking place it divulges nothing while inciting curiosity , then it end leaving two giant cliff-hangers and while this puts you off it also secures your devotion to the series , thus , you are hooked .
An anime that I recently watched "Hi Score Girl" was a pleasant surprise for me. I thought it was going to be your generic love comedy romance story but after watching a few episodes, it grew on me.
sounds good , I'll definitely look at it soon
For me, I thought it was gonna be just a show bout video games(which I don't play as much so it doesn't interest me) but I decided to give it a shot. I ended up loving the show not cuz of the games(which I think was sort of a red string of fate) but the adorable romance. I even liked its animation style too. I guess I got used to it. Especially that one scene which sold the show for me:
The airport scene when Ono was bout to leave.lol same. I loved that scene. So heartwarming

I finished Oreimo recently and I unironically really enjoyed it. I realized that it's just kind of a joke to most other people on the internet and that it's heavily disliked. But I watched through it, and I liked it. I was really into the story, I watched 22 episodes of it in one day, and the fact that makes other people cringe in Kyosuke and Kirino being blood related just never really bothered me. I'm just here to see if there's anyone else out there that actually likes the show or feels the same. Feel free to use me as a punching bag if you're not one of those people.
I actually enjoyed the show quite a bit too!... riiiiiiiiight up until the ending lol. I started watching the show as a dare from a friend, and unironically enjoyed the vast majority of it quite a bit, and similarly marathoned it in just a couple of days. The characters were almost all very enjoyable, and it was a really interesting portrayal of otaku culture in Japan at the time. The "related by blood" aspect didn't bother me too much for most of the run, and even for the ending I don't think it was my main issue, but a few of the scenes in the last few episodes, namely the confession and bed scenes, left my skin crawling with some eerie variety of cringe that I have yet to experience again. All that said, if the ending doesn't bother you, I'm happy that you can continue to enjoy the series, because there's definitely a lot to Oreimo worth enjoying!
Little late, but I refuse to miss a chance to defend Oreimo.
Oreimo is without a doubt an amazing show, anyone who tells you otherwise either: hasn't watched it or only hates it for the incest stuff that comes up at the end. Oreimo was perfectly fine and had an amazing story the whole way through, it isn't even too far off of a basic ass isekai where the MC's sister just happened to be the cataclysm for the events of the story. It was only the last few episodes where things went from a show that happened to have normal siblings who were learning how to get along with each other (which could have been a really cool lesson to come out of the show with, had they not made it incestual, since that isn't really done too often) to: "oh shit this is without a doubt just incest". Obviously the end kind of leaves a bad taste in the mouth, and makes the show a very easy punching bag, but as a whole, it's a pretty solid show that gets a lot of unjustified hate. To be clear: the ending is icky and I hate that it ruins what could have been one of the better isekai out there, but I can't change the incest parts (unless you go the route of the OVA) so they're just kind of there, and something that, while not at all what I would have wanted, is still attached to a pretty damn good show.
Couldn't agree with all the people calling this a good show any less. It's yet another- constantly bully/beat the ever-loving shit out of MC for non-stop, easily avoidable, misunderstandings- anime with 0 character development. Even for how unoriginal it is it's pretty lazy/crap writing
Let me give you a hypothetical; you walk into your room a few seconds before your female friend and there's a laptop open on your desk that someone has opened porn on and left for your friend to see.
Do you:
- Try to hide it behind your back and fumble around for the escape key for a full 30 seconds, grunting like a panicked idiot, while your friend asks what you're doing the entire time, making it all the more obvious that you're hiding something?
- Immediately shut the fucking laptop?
Apparently that's a tough call for MC.
I felt that OreImo is quite good, if you are ignoring the last 3 episodes. I think each character is quite great and have time to shine.
I think OreImo shown the basic concept that influence the genre for several years after it aired. Cause after that I felt that it just take what is good and add a different twist into it.
i would've liked the series way way more if the female mc (kirino kousaka) wasn't such an unlikable and punchable character.
i have 2 posters of it in my room. i think it's great.
I liked the romance comedy of it a lot but at the end of S2 when it did a 360 turn to incest i wasn't a fan, not so much the incest but more the rejection of Ruri Gokou and how he basically left her for his sister. if it wasn't the case I would have loved the ending way more. over all s2 just left me empty and s1 was good
The story has definitely been done better theme wise about Otaku life. What made the show worth watching all the way to me was seeing these characters acting beyond their tropes which is rare in modern anime especially for side characters. There are annoying characters but like any good story the show will tell you that they act like so because of the situations they lived in. The last episodes are infamous for it's off-putting ending whether you're against incest or not. I personally was sad that fictional characters I liked couldn't be spelled out if they had a happy(even if it's taboo) romantic relationship. There are interviews that the writer tried his best to make the ending obvious whilst working around the censorship.
You dont have a sister
