ore no imouto 4

“What is this? Some eroge?”

The problem with otaku-based plots is that they’re all the same. There’s only so many ways one can portray a trip to Comiket or portray one’s otaku-ness being discovered by someone who shouldn’t be discovering it. Andohbytheway, we’ve already had three incidents of this thus far in Ore no Imouto, and we’re only at episode four. Between Kyousuke, the dad, and now Ayase, this plot loop is becoming this series’ version of “monster of the week.”

And can you really blame it? There’s only so much one can do with the premise. We’re going to get a few more otaku being otaku jokes, a few more awkward discoveries by Kirino’s friends and family, and maybe, if we’re lucky, some actual character development. Besides that, there’s not much to suggest Ore no Imouto will rise beyond this simplistic root.

No doubt Ayase has the hots for Kyousuke, and he should have the hots for her. Why? She’s not his sister! It wouldn’t be a crime against nature. I don’t have any sisters, so I was thinking about how I feel left out that I couldn’t hit on my younger sister’s friends. I then thought about all my friends who do have younger sisters and how many of them hooked up with a friend of their sisters… and… it’s not an insignificant number. Damn. I used to think the benefit was having an older sister, someone who could teach you how to and how not to deal with girls during your formulative (horny teenage) years. Like, this is how you compliment a girl… this is how dress for a date… this is how you unhook a bra. These were things I had to learn on the fly!

(I like how Ayase and Kyousuke traded contact info via phones so quickly. Dude works fast!)

Don’t they ID when selling doujinshi at Comiket? Maybe they should… maybe they should… you must be this old to purchase tentacle rape doujinshis.

Nekomimi mo-do… nekomimi mo-do… nekomimi mo-do…

Kyousuke couldn’t overpower his sister who is like half his weight. Dude needs to hit the gym more than hitting the eroges. Also, I’m enjoying Kirino’s thigh highs… amazing they stayed up all this time. Must be some impressive sock glue.

TAKE THAT!!!!

(Kirino almost makes the Mount Rushmore of short wrathful, flat tsunderes. But just can’t top Shana, Louise, Taiga, and Nagi. Shana was the omega that kicked off this revival. Louise is the most wrathful. Taiga has the most extreme tsundere swings. And Nagi has the highest tsundere over melopan ratio.)

Who wants a plush of Octopus Girl?!

(2D fighters? So tired. You know what I want to see? An Angry Imoutos game. Basically, you have various onii-chans hiding within glass, wooden, and concrete structures, and these imoutos launch themselves via slingshot at said onii-chans. I’m telling you. We’ll make billions with this idea.)

I can’t wait for the spin-off series, The World Imouto Only Knows, where Kirino joins forces with Haqua to capture runaway spirits in rural Hokkaido. Look forward to it!

(PFP 4 eva.)

(And would a PSP Phone be a horrible idea on par with N-Gage? I think both Nintendo and Apple proved that portable gaming is all about the games… not necessarily about the phone. Andohbytheway, I’ve used 82 airtimes minutes this billing cycle on my iPhone. And probably played sixteen hours of Game Dev Story.)

Weren’t you guys hoping that the Durarararara chatterboxes would crash their talk channel? I was hoping for it. Definitely would be interested in Izaya’s take on Kirino’s imouto eroge fetish.

    It’s not quite the same since there are no onii-chan enemies, but at least the “launching little sisters” bit has already been done in Elona Shooter (http://www.kongregate.com/game.....na-shooter). They explode too!

  2. Did you miss the Onii-chan loving meido selling doujinshi?

    The problem with otaku-based plots is that they’re all the same. There’s only so many ways one can portray a trip to Comiket or portray one’s otaku-ness being discovered by someone who shouldn’t be discovering it.

    For the former it’s different characters and their different interactions that make the scene though. In this it was one normal guy and a bunch of nerds. For Genshiken it was a bunch of nerds. For Lucky Star it was one nerd and a bunch of normal people. For the latter as long as it makes me laugh I don’t really care about the lack of story or originality.

    And finally, you wanted an older sister so you could learn to unhook her bra?

    Hope you’ve given Kuragehime a chance. Different approach to a story involving (different kinds) of otaku. Also, lovely animation and cute OP.

  4. I don’t know why you’re not liking this show that much but I’m enjoying it a helluva lot and it’s the only show in recent memory where I’m looking forward to it every week.

  5. so wait, according to you mt. flat tsundere is just mt. rie kugimiya characters?

  6. There is, unfortunately, nothing flat about Kirino.

  7. I then thought about all my friends who do have younger sisters and how many of them hooked up with a friend of their sisters… and… it’s not an insignificant number.

    Were the younger sisters between the ages of 12~15?
