Escape! Escape! It’s doing nothing! Nothing!!!

As always, real comments from real (broken) readers…

Myssa Rei: Truer words have never been said (with regards to copping out with just a 12-episode cour). Studios are getting really cautious these days. When was the last time we had a 24-episode season for a show like this anyway?

Seikon no Qwaser was a 24 episode series (with a second season!!!). If only there were more soma sucking in this show.

(And, really, what’s the point of Kirino going to America? Still puzzled at how Kirino has the time to make her own anime, write her own light novel, run track, study for school, model, play non-stop Keima-class eroges, and torment her older brother. Does she have access to midnight hour?)

(I’m willing to believe the initial premise of a work, like a goddess popping out of a mirror, but violating practical common sense things like 24 hour days and moving fast enough to dodge pew pew lasers is just sloppy writing.)

Erufan: I was not disturbed at all…..Jason what the hell have you done to me?! Also, shower sex analogy….. +100 respect, +100 skill, +10000 wtf man? Oh and C, absolutely C.

I bought exactly 2 DVDs last year: The Terminal (only because I couldn’t watch the end on TNT and had to go to Fry’s and happily picked it up for $4 in the bargain bin) and 500 Days of Summer, partly because I enjoyed Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Inception. He’s not a bad actor– I would never have guessed since he was the dweeb kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun, but he’s solid. Well, anyway, in the movie, he screams at the ponytail-sporting Zooey Deschanel as she’s trying to break-up with him, “You don’t love me?! BUT WE HAD SHOWER SEX!!!” Let’s just say it was only a step down from, “YES, I ORDERED THE CODE RED!!!”

Talleyrand: Kirino is a wonderful person with nothing to hide.

Where am I? Did I enter the Vanilla Sky? Is Sarah Palin president?

Val: Add Kamen no Maid Guy to the ‘need more of’ list. (Yes, I’m still holding onto that last string of fragile hope.)

Also in Talleyrand’s world: five awesome seasons of Kamen no Maid Guy. Anime we need more of: Mushishi, Kino’s Travels, Kamen no Maid Guy, Muteki Kanban Musume, GTO, Initial D, Full Metal Panic, Detroit Metal City.

aIM: Is there even emoji for tentacle rape?? If it doesn’t exist, it shall be made. no. exceptions.

I’m still waiting for my tentacle rape emoji.

Rei: kirino vs. kuroneko epic mahou shoujo battle, do animate!

I so want this to happen, if anything because with Nanoha being more stale than Shaq, we need a new go-to magical girl franchise. Remember, magical girl is one of the pillars of anime, along with harem and giant robot, that is fading away for slice-of-life, low calorie light novel adaptations. Kirino vs. Kuroneko would revitalize the genre. Fate and Nanoha more or less had manufactured reasons to hate each other– the two K’s have a real reason: they like different anime and get butt hurt when the other talks trash. I wish they would fight in an alternate space called “interwebs” using “forums,” “blogs,” and “twitter.”

(Kirino fail whale? Do it. Please. For me. There’s no way my little sister can be so fat and fail.)

Tom: This is the first harem anime I’ve ever seen (since Aa! Megami-Sama) where I felt sympathy for the guy and genuine desire for his life to turn out well. Poor Kyousuke! At first, I was really indifferent/offended by Oreimo, but now, now I understand: it’s a “to hell with you” note to the harem genre, written with love and understanding. It asks the question: what if instead of taking the place of the hero, you actually felt sorry for him, and wanted him to succeed? (And also, what is the real consequence of having the main girl be actually tsundere in real life terms.)

I do not feel sorry for any of them. Why? They have a harem of hawt girls. I mean… that’s gotta count for something. As for K1, he has Bell-frickin’-dandy. That’s enough to put up with the antics of Urd, Skuld, Peorth, and Lind any day. I don’t feel sorry for him at all– ain’t my fault he hasn’t tapped that ass yet. As for Kyousuke, well, he asked for it. He could have simply let Kirino waste away and not care for her, so he helps her, either as the nicest brother ever or because he genuinely likes her. Both frighten me.

(You’re also giving too much credit to the writing team. Ore no Imouto is the Gundam Seed of tsundere harem. It’s not Gundam Seed Destiny, but Gundam Seed. There’s a distinction.)

fofi: i can’t be the only one that thought kyousuke was horrible for bringing manami to make food for them after friendzoning her

Exactly. I don’t think Kyousuke is such a nice guy. He took advantage of Manami, and he obviously tried to jump Ayase. Such a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

(Ayase seemed to be a prime character for Star Driver. I can definitely picture her trying to kiss Kirino through the glass.)

Toboggan: >Day of the Tentacle: Special Imouto Edition

please, take my money

I’m telling you. If I had an iOS team to work with, we’d make millions, starting with surefire hit Angry Imoutos. You basically launch various types of imoutos at oniichans huddled in their bunkers as they tried to get their oniichans back from the evil nekomimi meido. The imoutos would scream “ONII-CHAN DAISUKI!” or “BAAAAAKA!” or “ONII-CHAMA!” depending on the imouto type as they soared through the air. The tsundere imouto would like the bomb bird analog, the cute cuddly imouto would be the standard red bird analog, and the secret yandere Ui-type imouto would be a major wild card.

After Angry Imoutos, we’d start development on ImoutoVille where you have to raise cute imoutos in your house. You can buy outfits, cupcakes, and eroges for them to increase various stats. Of course, you can grind for outfits and cupcakes, but eroges would be available only through in-app purchase.

Haesslich: Also, jealous or snarky Kirino is horribly cute. Damn, I must be twisted.

Yes, you are.

Yes_Cantaloupe: The best kind of trainwreck is one you can see coming a mile away but can’t do anything about.

*nodding happily*

-rh- So a male teenager can take a 14 year old girl into a love hotel. Nobody complains. Yeah, Japan is awesome indeed.

*nodding happily*

Giant Humanoid Robot: For some reason the confrontation scene brought to mind Simon vs Lord Genome:

“You were in your little sister’s room and were using your little sister’s computer to play a game about doing indecent things to your little sister?”

“My drill will pierce the hymens! Who the fuck do you think I am?!”

Yep… these are my readers.
