Are you tired of reading wall after wall of pretentious text? Do you just want to know if you should watch the darn show? Me too. SPOILS PLOT POINTS FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS TLDR As long as you do not watch the last 4:50 of the final episode or stop watching at around 21:05 Oreimo is a show that is better than it has any right being. After that point it is immortalized forever in the anime hall of fame as possibly the biggest troll in the romancing your little sister genre. ART AND ANIMATION Average If youre looking at this review I assume youve seen at least one episode of Oreimo before. Imagine that but change absolutely nothing. It looks exactly the same. MUSIC AND SOUND Average Again it sounds exactly the same as the previous seasons. I was never blown away by the Oreimo EDs unless they starred my literal goddess Kuroneko and fortunately the first ED is sung by her. The other two are not and I didnt find them especially good. PLOT Train Wreck A big chunk of the plot consists of almost every girl Kyousuke has ever laid eyes on confessing their love for him. Each girl has their last moment in the sun before leaving so that Kyousuke and Kirino can be together. I hope its not a spoiler to say that in a show that translates to My Little Sister Cant Be This Cute the little sister wins. Theres lots of other scenes that cant be talked about without actually spoiling but just know that there is a mix of super spicy drama super emotional romance and super sad scenes. Season 1 was basically a glorified documentary about otaku season 2 shifted focus to a more romance/drama oriented series and these final 3 episodes definitely follow season 2s course. As mentioned previously something happens at about the 21 minute mark of the last episode that changes the show completely. Itll either make you laugh your head off or throw whatever youre holding at the screen. CHARACTERS Pretty Good Before this I wasnt really impressed with Kyousuke as a character. But here he shows what hes made of. He shows that spine that most harem protagonists lack. Kirino was 100 tsun and 0 dere at the start of the show but over time the walls she put up were whittled down to the point where her brattiness became tolerable. I never really liked Kirino much but she is probably at her best here. Kuroneko had some great scenes that broke my heart and will remain best girl until the day I die. I was confused for a long time about why Manami was even included in this show but I finally got my answer here. She plays one of the most important roles in the show and her climactic scene will either make you love her or hate her. THEMES AND MESSAGE Absolutely none I dont think you watch Oreimo for the deep messages and thought provoking themes. The show spits in your face at the very end anyway so every theme it presented thus far is also spit on. Truly a modern masterpiece. RECOMMENDATIONS If you liked the ending of Oreimo check out Darling In The Franxx. Otherwise check out other incest related shows such as Eromanga Sensei or Domestic Girlfriend or KissxSis or A Sisters All You Need or Yosuga No Sora or Koi Kaze or the Alfheim arc of SAO or Im In Love With My Sister or OniAi or CONCLUSION I loved this show and then all of a sudden I REALLY didnt. The ending is one of the most infamous bamboozles of all time and leaves a sour taste in my mouth but every time I think back on it I cant help but laugh at how huge the authors balls must have been and how naive I was to expect anything better.
