I doubt that. Infact, I think the opposite is true. I think the "good" ending will be something to satisfy TV audiences while the "true" ending will stick more to the LN. And if thats the case, then the true ending will likely end in a way that would open up a second season perfectly.But the possibility of the 2nd season has become lower because of the multi endings.
Why the fuck do i still watch this? Am i secretly a masochist? I hate that pseudo-tsundere bitch so damn hard, yet i keep coming back!
I don't even get the satisfaction i get from reading Bleach, i just keep raging at the fucking screen.
wow
i hate EVERY character on this show, including the audience in this episode. I swear, i was physically in pain several times during this one episode >______<
I was sooo close to turning it off when Ayase slapped him, wtf!
This series is full of unlikable characters, exception being the glasses-girl that we hardly ever see. And Kyousuke woud actually be okay, if he didnt have the self-worth of a suicidal emo-girl.
wah...WAH!
The nerve of Middle Schoolers in this anime.
I don't know, I actually liked Ayase and Kanako in this episode.
Ayase is so strangely obsessed with being Kirino's friend that she'll even go to such lengths to make her happy, as troubling to Ayase as Kirino's interests may be. That one scene where Kirino was defending how different her figurines were to Ayase landed a bit close to home. Ayase was also evil enough to trick Kanako into doing all the work for her, with nothing to really show for it, and no way to escape. Ayase isn't a very nice person, she's cold, calculating, uncompromsing (except solely toward Kirino...), and that's what makes her so much fun. She's the most "normal" and straight-laced of all of Kirino's friends, but she's by far one of the worst people.
Kanako is a good character because she wants to be an idol so hard. She puts a lot of effort into it, even if her ability to remember any song after hearing it once is a bit...unfair. What I really liked about her is that Kyousuke saw her acting out in the dressing room afterward, and thought she someone secretly hated the other cosplayers and otaku, but she surprised him by saying that she really enjoyed being up there, regardless of what she had to do to get there.
I half-expected Saori to show up in the lascivious dark-witch getup Kyousuke tried to get Ayase to do, but after Kanako's performance there was no way.
I also got quite a bit of amusement out of Tamura Yukari's triple VA duty this episode. She played Meruru, Kanako and the dark-haired competition host (also seen in the maid cafe) all in the same episode. I'm sure the Kanako-Meruru connection was intentional (her normal hair is the same as Meruru's...), but the same actress introducing another character she was playing was good for a smile. I've seen other series where they reuse actresses over and over and over (Nanoha StrikerS) but Oreimo isn't really short for actresses who've been playing bit parts.
I don't get the hate. One thing is to give a critic when a poor episode comes around and all... but if we hate a show so much, why torture yourself watching it? Masochism?
With that aside... I really loved this episode. Despite Kanako's severe personality problem, I couldn't help but like her character a lot. Both in her normal selfish bitch mode and in her cute cosplaying mode-to-win-fans
I would have never guessed the triple voice acting Ryll pointed out, so its a very nice touch up there.

Peace.
Regardless of how shitty the episode was, it came with a nice surprise
Kuno Misaki
She really sounded like a child, i wonder if she'll make it big
right? she sounds way more realistic and less annoying (probably because it sounded real) than most (if not all) loli/childish characters
man, I even felt with her a bit when she got talked down so harshly

Well, at least she apologized.
But Kirino is still a complete bitch.
It seems a bit clearer now that Kirino definitely does have a brother complex. She sure denied it when Kyousuke first asked her why her favorite type of game was little sister games, but she shows the opposite when other girls are around Kyousuke. She's the happiest when it is only her and her brother, like their "research" date. Here, Kirino was doing everything she could to drive Manami out or otherwise hurt Kyousuke's relationship with her. Unfortunately for Kirino, Manami is far too much a saint to be dissuaded by that level of harassment.
I was kind of stunned how much of a bitch Kirino was to Manami. She was so bad that I actually hoped that Kyousuke would smack her one. Too bad he's so weak in front of her that the most he could do was call her out on being a hypocrite.
Kyousuke has a megane fetish, so at least we know that Manami and otaku-version-Saori are his type.
The part that stood out the most was Kuroneko's teasing. Both the manga (which was hilarious to see Kirino's reaction and confirm the reasoning behind her behavior in the first half) and the part on the couch. Hanazawa Kana (Kuroneko's VA) has been getting better and better, and that part really showed how much. It was just so seductive sounding.
Hanazawa Kana has been epic lately, particularly her role in TWGOK. Two of my favorite female characters this season are voiced by her.
The 2nd part of this episode felt really random and rushed. I felt disgusted when Kyousuke cried. Does he have no pride at all?
EDIT: The art this episode was absolutely horrible. There were parts where their eyes are clearly not aligned.

Peace.
Yeah, that apology completely did NOT work. Especially not when the first half of the episode is about Kirino hating on the most likable character of the whole show. But even without that...they spent a whole season to show us what an asshole bitch Kirino was. And then expect the audience to swallow such an ending?!
The whole apology-meeting felt closer to a dream-scene than what really happened.
Also, I didnt like how Kuroneko suddenly pops out her own freaking manga, wtf lol. I guess Otakus these days are all unknown experts, with Kirino publishing her own anime, too, haha.
Yeah, this seemed to be the last episode, so conclusion: This show sucked. I totally got what kind of reaction the producers were aiming for with that last half episode, but...you just cannot spend the whole season before portraying Kirino as the anti-christ and then expect us to be all lovey-dovey when the sister finally is all nice to her elder brother. Did not compute.
Best scene of this episode: When Manami told Kyousuke that she would call him Onii-san from now on after seeing his porn collection, featuring glasses-girls, lol.
Wait so this was in the manga? I figured this was the anime's way of trying to end the season/series.
There's still one episode left... What manner of a show would end with 11 eps anyway? Not that it could make any difference what comes to Kirino. But I hope some of the other girls get even a bit of screentime.
There are five episodes left. Two versions of episode 12 and then 13-15.
Do you have a link to the chapter?
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
He was talking about the manga Kuroneko made.
Peace.
Indeed. I liked that part the most in this episode. She totally swooned me.
I am training in the shadows.
Currently playing: All of your games, probably.
Amazing series! All the characters make me laugh and the though of a girl playing onii-chan love-love themed eroge is hillarious, escpecially when she is clearly a massive tsundere. The only thign dissapointing is that it is ending very very very soonthey better make a S2 or at least an OVA or something. I think that the fanbase has been pretty big from how much ANN has been playing it up on their stream. Everytime i go to their site its the first banner I see every week for the newest episode.
Anywho..... Kuroneko FTW! <3
****If anyone could give me a link to read the manga i would forever be in your debt! Thanks!****
