As much as i adored Kuroneko - the ending with Kirino was the only reasonable one to amke this series stand for something in the end.
The quality of the ending is debatable, but it is decent closure to the story.

Only think I didnt liked was that sort of redundant last min, when Kyosuke and Kirino go back to normal sibling relationship. This is both silly and more disturbing than their whole forbidden love.
After all I can belive and even support forbidden love against all ods, but I cant sympatise with theirs stupid resolution to go wild for a month, then pretend nothing happened - this ruins the whole impression of them really beeing in love.

Still The Anime was pretty good story, and I am eternaly gratefull that they didnt pull the "non-blood related siblings" deux ex machina in the end.

The Anime should have been longer though - there were so many great characters introduced that they could totaly make it into the 2 cour anime, and give each other Female Heroine a bit more screen-time.

In the end I dont feel disapointed with this series, even as it was one of my favourites. Anyway I definatly enjoyed the whole thing.

Not counting some of the deranged (Kirno) haters that have posted here and elsewhere thus far.

But you guys that are confused or didn't like the ending in that manner it did are taking that sh*t Aniplex version of the ending and not the true intention the author laid out as he possibly could in the light novel. Don't fall for it. Listen to the author!

■ Some of you guys don't know that the publishers of Dengeki wouldn't allow to go further in Kirino/Kyousuke's relationship so the author did what he could to meet with the guidelines and his vision for the story and create a happy ending for Kirino. It was planned from the start.

■ The post done by OwaruSekai [url=http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=650423&show=60#msg24490901]http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=650423&show=60#msg24490901 should give you no doubt that Aniplex is at fault for not just the ending but how season two was quick paced it was, cut here and there (it includes season one as well).

■ Further, the author has already elaborated back when the final volume 12 was released that it was a Complete Kirino Ending.
Also, he goes on to mention just as they started with life counseling they'll still continue sharing that secret in private.

■ If you watched Crunchyrolls stream the line Kirino says after being kissed on the cheek was translated wrong. Instead of "You and I are talking when we get home" Crunchyroll didn't add 人生相談 "life counseling" in the subs. Why? I have no clue. And if you can't already tell Kirino had a gleaming smile running from Kyousuke.

or you can listen to this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FivK2MsNQw&lc
Though I am not positive on what he said about the 10 year part.

Get to know the real Kirino from the Light Novel!
The anime version over does it with her -tsun, get to know the real Kirino!


The FEELS!

You all are forgetting the ridiculousness of all the girls falling in love with one guy. That isn't even close to reality.

I for one could never take the show seriously enough to get as upset as most of you are. Although i agree the ending was pretty stupid. Why go through all of the rejections just to end their relationship at the end?

Although his confession was super epic. I actually like that moment better than anything in the whole series. The series built up to it, and it delivered. I wish they would have solved some way for them to be together though.

They just forgot to mention that in the novels he swore to himself to never have any girlfriend in the future. But extra volume (or chapter) is announced, it will take place 10 years after the end.

(though I expect that everyone here knows that already)

10/10 ending. For the last 5 minutes 1/100. Fuck whoever wrote this. I'll marry kirino.

I have to disappoint you, it happen.... but you notice that when it is to late ;)

I hope last part of novel will give us proper ending


You kidding right? She is mine!

Christ yo wold think people would know buy now. The 10 year Epilogue has nothing to with Kyoouske or this ending. It's about Kirino life counseling Kuroneko little sisters.

Sourire said:
but WHO CARES if they continue in secret.. we'll never actually get the chance to see it animated, and that is mainly due to Japan's media and what is acceptable in today's society. The fact that after 2 seasons we have to use our imagination and dirty fantasies to see the MC with the girl he likes is beyond stupid. Also the fact that the second season was focused on melodrama and almost no comedy at all and tried to go the "serious route" just made the show that much worse.

Why are people blaming Japan and their media for this ending?

Ever heard of Koi Kaze or Yosuga no Sora?

Blame the author for this travesty.

What bothers me about the ending of Oreimo is that if you look at the series as a whole, the last 3 ova episodes SHIT ALL OVER IT. If you stopped watching Oreimo at episode 13 then you did yourself the biggest favor. Where the anime ends is the perfect open-ended scenario where Kyousuke's future with his sister looks normal, and he has a chance at love with many different awesome girls. It keeps the progression of the anime's story intact, somewhat, and we can rest easy knowing that all the incest innuendos were just that; innuendos. But that is NOT the case with the 3 OVA episodes.

People are quick to forget how this anime started; a girl with a dark and weird secret tries to come out of her shell to make friends with other otakus, with the help of her brother who takes many socially awkward bullets to help her out. They make friends, accomplish things, and reach new levels of understanding that demonstrate how while otaku lifestyle can be weird and disturbing, the people themselves are good people. Kyousuke and Kirino made new friends, shared new experiences and gained romance. All these things were great, the show had many funny episodes and touching moments. Even the siscon element of things was more along the lines of over-protective brother than anything else.

But this ending comes along to shatter all of that, and not cause of the incest. Personally, if this was the obvious natural progression of the anime, NOT the light novel, then you can't blame the viewers for being shocked. Many people say how the anime's tone and direction ignored alot of the hints that Kyousuke loved his sister and the anime was more about making lighthearted jokes about incest; it was always kept vague but funny. If this was the obvious goal of the show from the beginning then I wouldn't have been bothered, but the fact that in episode 11 of the original season the title of the show was kinda fulfilled: Kirino said thank you at the party, a genuinely cute moment that showed that she was happy that he helped her make new friends and cope with her weird hobby. It was a moment that showed that they'd all developed friends and learned new things. So now, we come to the ending of the second season, where drama after drama finally results in 1. Kyousuke breaking the hearts of all the girls who were interested in him, 2. losing his longtime childhood friend probably forever, 3. creating a short time FAKE relationship with his sister, all to 4. NOT END UP WITH ANYBODY. I do understand that people say it's open ended and perhaps they're still dating in secret, perhaps.

But truly, you can't look at this series as a whole and be content with how this went down. All these people who wanted this and that match-up to happen seem to lack empathy, for the way Ruri screamed, for the way Ayase was devastated, for the way Manami was shocked. All for what? A fake relationship? People, they formed all these bonds, made all these friendships, to practically ruin EVERYBODY'S LIVES. See, I'm not angry at the characters, cause at least they admitted how fucked up they were and Kirino even lamented that her selfishness caused Kyousuke so much pain and it's affected his friendships. I respect and understand that people wanted Kirino to end up with Kyousuke, fine, but it didn't even go all the way, and their friendships are forever damaged by this event. To me, that's the really unfair thing, to watch their happy ship of friendship to go down in flames, not even cause of incest, but because of letting all the girls down for a temporary relationship.

Sorry for the rant, but I really wanted to provide some perspective for this. TL:DR- I'm not happy that all the friends they made and times they had were pretty much for nothing in the end cause of what they did.

ok i am just going to say it. none of you who torrented this show have any right what so ever to say it was shit. to quote my high school drama teacher "the only time you have a right to insult a performance is if you paid for it" and most of you didnt pay for a single episode or use crunchyroll to watch this show for free. seriously you over entitled little bastards.

TonyC1994 said:
So I don't get it....
What exactly do they mean by going back to being "normal siblings?"
Does that mean reverting back to the relationship before Kyousuke proposed? They were never normal siblings to begin with since Kirino admitted to loving him since she was little.

What's more, is Kyousuke allowed to date other girls now or is that still a no?

ravagestorm said:
Meh. Kyousuke didn't even had sex with Kirino or any other girl. What a lamer. I hope the novel has a better ending.

ihusmal1234 said:
I didn't really mind the incest/Kirino route.... but if they were going to go that route they should have went all the way. After all the shit they went through and all the girls Kyousuke rejected they made a dick of a U-turn and Kyou lost everything.

The last 5 minutes essentially made all the buildup/rejections pointless.

Allenkilla1 said:

LOL Kirino is only 14 years old and Kyousuke is 17 years old but I guess its okay since 13 is the age of sex in japan.

Infact they wouldn't even have sex since they have always been thinking "Brothers and sisters" in their mind. The last 3 episode proves it.


Overall I'm pretty annoyed because of how much I have really enjoyed this anime season 1 +2 then the last 3 episodes was just a shambles. I hope they can re-make the special series or something.
