Oreimo Review

Standard

Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, wow, longass title.  It translates to My Little Sister can’t be this cute, it started off as a Light Novel series

To me, the most suprising anime i ever saw.  First i called it “Crap” now i call it “Holy crap, that was actually good.”

The very idea of a sexual relationship between brother and sister can either be viewed by the following 4 examples

  • 1: DISGUSTING! (Mostly the religous view it this way)
  • 2: Age difference matters, so i go both ways
  • 3: …..if she’s hot
  • 4: Why???

Well i was the 4th option when i first heard about this series.

The story spins around the Kousaka family, mainly between Kyosuke and Kirino, they are siblings.  The two, for as long as they remember are the most disfunctional sibling relationship.  Kyousuke, the protagonist sees his sister as someone who just lives in his house, their relationship is sour, and they rarely talk to eachother.  All that changes when one day, Kyousuke finds a anime DVD.  He mentions it during dinner but his anti otaku father (my hero lol) completely bashes it, his sister then gets up and leaves.  Later that night, she invites Kyousuke into her room.  She reveals that she collects anime, manga, light novels, DVD’s, and eroge gamees (basically, anime sex games) all based around brother-sister relationships, in a simple term, she’s an otaku.  Kyousuke is baffled to say the least and Kirino tells him to be basically her “confidant” or someone who someone bases some type of trust.  Kirino is still an angry little sister to him, most of the time.  Eventually, Kyousuke decides to take on for the duo and say that some games are his and he’s the otaku to protect his sister.  Later we meet a few of Kyousuke’s friends in which the anime only gives them little screentime.  Then we meet a few more principal cast members.  In the beginning episodes, Kyousuke encourages Kirino to find some people who share her passion to which she reluctantly agrees.  There she meets Saori and “Kuroneko”

Left to right: Saori, Kuroneko, Kirino, Manami (Kyousuke’s friend), and Kyousuke

Saori is a girl who doesn’t really care.  Make fun of her looks, she won’t care, she knows she looks bad.  And damn do i hate those glasses.

Kuroneko (real name Gokou Ruri) is a girl who basically is Kirino only that she is focused on teenage related anime unlike Kirino’s little sister one.  In the light novel, Kyousuke goes out with her.

The meetings between Kirino and her new friends continue and more banter between her and her brother continue. Some friend problems shows up whatever, go watch it

The manga, i don’t even read it.  But the anime follows the good ending in which the cold case tsundere Kirino finally breaks.  The bad end special which is coming up, i don’t want to even know.

Good series, i really hated Kirino’s attitude, if i ever had a sister, i’d beat that bitch.  Whether im too cruel, or if i just grew up from a rough family, im not letting a bitch whose my OWN sister to which i am the older sibling ever get away with that kind of behavior.  I was really suprised at the end, but im guessing you could see that ending coming.

(Really unorthadox review, i’m sorry x1000)

Sora no Otoshimono Review

Standard

Lets do this

Sora no Otoshimono is a story about Sakurai Tomoki who lives in a small town.  He has a cute next door neighbor who is a predictable childhood friend.  Tomoki wishes his ordinary ableit boring life to continue.  We also find out in the beginning that Tomoki is a huge pervert too.  Also we see that his neighbor Mitsuki Sohara is a predictable childhood friend and neighbor who happens to beat Tomoki (or any other guy who they were friends with) senseless.  There are also the crazy New Continent Club President whose name i never really cared to remember and his sadistic friend, the student council president who comes from a family of Yakuza, or thats how i remembered lol.

Well, everything is fine and dandy until one day, a disturbance occurs and then the Club Pres. tells Tomoki to investigate a location while he himself tries to get there.  Then things get out of hand and he tells Tomoki to back out.  Tomoki decides to stay but then, something falls down from the sky.   Tomoki tries to catch that “something” which happens to be a girl…with wings.  The thing refers to itself as an “Angeloid” named Ikaros, and from now, Tomoki is her master.  Tomoki soon discovers the wonders Ikaros can do (he told her to strip herself and immediately she did only he stopped her) like summon a million dollars or panties.  After a little “talk” or beating with his friend, and a little explanation to his colleagues, Ikaros stays with Tomoki.  Then later in the series, 2 more angeloids stay at his house named Nymph and Astraea.  Nymph is a stealth angeloid, shes the smarter one out of most of the angeloids.  She’s the “tsundere” in the story, and shes a loli…..the infamousd duo that i rarely encounter, i hate her.  Astraea is dumb, and shes a blonde….i have no idea if that was a coincedence or not, but hey, shes hot.

Behind this is kind of a dark story where these guys or people with wings (they’re kinda evil to be called Angels) who basically created the Angeloids and made them their playthings.  Angeloids are like warmachines, they fight pretty well.  Ikaros or Alpha is like the most powerful but also the most emotionally week.  Ikaros was the first to be freed from the “Angel”‘s power.  Nymph or Beta was sent down to subdue Alpha but seeing how her masters are cruel decided that Tomoki should be her master.  Astraea or Delta is literally stupid and just doesn’t want to listen to them.  Most of the time its just perverted scenes and Tomoki getting beaten up or a romantic subplot, or plot i guess.  If its not that, its fighting to some extent.

The manga series is going on while the first season ended a few years (or was it a year?) back.  The 2nd season Sora no Otoshimono Forte just ended, and i have no idea if theres gonna be a 3rd one.

I also wanna tell the people reading ( if there is anyone reading D: ) why i like this series when it itself is jam packed with ecchi.  First off, the main character like most all guys of this type of genre of manga/anime is a pervert. But this dude isn’t afraid to admit it, he has millions of magazines, he once made a telescope to see every single girl’s panties.  But most of the time, when hes not in his serious attitude, hes in his chibi form which made me forget how he looked like.  What i hate about this series is the neighbor, jeez, if she likes him, why beat him? beating someone senseless won’t help, unless they are masochistic (i spelled it wrong i know) She’s cute but damn, ease off on the guy. 

Otherwise, funny series.  I would reccommend it
