Ore no Imouto go Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai: Episode 5

I wasn't so sure whether to do an episodic review on OreImo but thought that I might as well do it since I'm gonna write shit about it in my diary anyway. So here it is my thoughts on episode 5 of OreImo even if I'm several days behind the blogsphere hype.

I already know that I will have a lot to rant about when I saw how Kirino treated her anime friends and forced Kousuke to yet again cover for her in front of Ayase. Dude, if you can't be honest with your bestfriend, than she's not your bestfriend!


Maybe because I have always been honest with who I am and what I'm obsessed with or things that I hate so when I saw Kirino being a hypocrite bitch, naturally I was raging. I think that is a poor excuse to be a bitch.

Serves her right that her bestfriend apparently a psychopath. The weather conviniently matched the drama that unfolded.

If by any chance that Kirino going to blame Kyousuke for what happened because he was the one who suggested the Comiket, I'm so gonna butchered her. But even she doesn't do that, she does this:


and this:


Oh fuck!

Of course she'll be emo about it. It just fits her role of being the cute little sister. This is getting old indeed. So since Kyousuke still wants to help her out despite that his weaner can no longer be used, he called up Ayase.

Ayase then proceeded as to why she can't have Kirino as her best friend anymore. She was influenced by the media and the public perspective. To her anime is like a disease that slowly corrupting the brain of Japanese people. LOL she isn't wrong either, is she? I think I have become an even more lewd person because of anime influence but hey, my hobby doesn't harm other people, so what is it to you?

But if an animetard became a pedo in real life and electrocuted a girl, that would totally be a valid accusation.

So what Ayase is saying that she's in fact looking out after Kirino. Pfft they truly deserved each other. Having said that, I understand why Kirino chose her hobby instead of her bestfriend. In this sense, I guess I am lucky that my bestfriend and my friends have no problem with who I am as a person, even after they know of my hobby and obsession. They don't have to like it but they just have to understand that I like it and be okay with it. Isn't that what friendship is all about? There is no boundary or limitation. These two need to learn that life lesson which I'm sure Kyousuke will try his best to teach them.

Or he just asked his dad for help. That could work too, I guess *facepalm*

Urgh.. that was tactless.

Oh well, I think Kirino kinda redeemed herself towards the end of the episode. That's the right attitude that she should have since the beginning. Better late than never. She's lucky that the psychopath happens to be a lesbian who happens to be in love with her XD

How nice...

And here I thought that was it but nope Ayase still being a bitch about the hobby. So what did Kyousuke do? I was hit with another unexpected twist.


Yeah... WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WAS THAT? o_O

That was fucking gross. If I was Ayase, I would have reported him to the police.

That was an interesting point to end the review on because it was revealed in that episode Ayase saw through what he was trying to do. The move was really a way for her to resume their friendship without doing an explicit about-face regarding Kirino's hobby. A face-saving measure, if you will.
The thing with the protagonist is he has a penchant for very drastically sacrificing himself and his reputation to protect his imouto (his "admission" to playing siscon eroge in his sister's room, his ero-manga discovery statement to his dad, and now this).
Which is what makes Kirino's bitchiness something even more rage-worthy.
One thing which disturbed me about this episode was that the argument against that hypothetical electrocution case, while combating rush-judgements on otaku, was not based on any more than debunking an inaccurately reported story. And somehow that convinced Ayase. She could have easily pulled out a few more cases which were accurately reported and owned him.
The fact is, real homicides by real otaku have occurred IRL, and they are potent arguments. I was interested to see if this episode could have presented a fair debate against that, but I guess I cannot fairly expect an anime to do any heavy political/argumentative lifting.

And I agree, Ayase is psychotic.

Yep, it was a weak argument or maybe Ayase was only aware of that one incident involving otaku. Like you said, if the production team focus on the potent arguments, Kyousuke wouldn't have to resort to such measures which imo ended up making this episode a troll.

Ayase going psycho was a nice surprise. ive been trying to follow this series but so far im kinda hating it with each new episode, and i couldnt sit through this one... Kirino annoys the hell outta me XD

other than that i like manami ^^

I know what you mean. I enjoyed the first two episodes then Kirino's antic quickly went down hill for me hence the rant. If Kyousuke doesn't man up soon, I might dropped this halfway through.

That or it get a much lower ranking than when it first started.

"To her anime is like a disease that slowly corrupting the brain of Japanese people."

With the pedophilic crap that comes out every season, I don't blame her.

Also, the main character needs to punch his little sister in the face. With brass knuckles.

This episode was pretty intense. Kirino is kind of bitchy to her brother. She's why tsundere doesn't work irl... But Kyousuke doesn't seem to mind too much. I don't really understand how Kyousuke's mind works. That unexpected "solution" at the end, his earlier outbursts to his dad, and other stuff are just weird.

Agreed that Kirino is a hypocrite. Saying that she doesn't know those "weirdos" is a jerk move. However, as much as I want to dislike her for it, under the same circumstances, I don't know if I would do differently.

"Serves her right that her bestfriend apparently a psychopath."
"She's lucky that the psychopath happens to be a lesbian who happens to be in love with her XD"
Haha! Agreed 100%

Snark, he should punch her with brass knickles than run her over with a lawn mower.

Say Yi, don't tell me that your friends don't know of your obsession with anime and yuri. Or is it something that I took for granted because of my circumstances? =\

They actually don't know about my obsessions. They have an idea that I watch anime, but think I only watch stuff like Spirited Away, Naruto, Bleach...etc. Major popular works that do not carry the negative connotations other anime (i.e. Strike Witches...etc.) do.

I guess I'm a hypocrite too.
Sigh...

That is kinda lucky of you. At my part of the world, they all think that I watch hentai on everyday basis. LOL
