Nae_Gevurah said: I think predicting that the little sister character to be a tsundere, that the genre of the story to be harem, and that the ending will entail dumping said harem, is a pretty detailed "what if" and not necessarily a realistic expectation,
Which is the very definition of "prediction". You're simply guessing things based on your knowledge about the author's past works. Whether it's going to turn out to be true or not, it's still a valid opinions.
And btw, i didn't say anything that the little sister is going to be a tsundere type
[...]this author has no other source material to gauge if he will or will not diverge from what you describe as essentially the same story and outcome. I would expect his career to take a turn for the worse in the publisher's eyes if he lacks any creativity,
This is by all means a thread about an author's future work, hence it follows that some people are going to base their opinions and draw comparisons from his previous work. And since OreImo is essentially his only work so far, is it that hard for you to understand if i were to make comparisons only from what i've seen from it?
which based on the execution of OreImo, I feel is certainly not the case.
This isn't really convincing. Can you please elaborate further how is it certainly "not the case" when you, just like myself, are just as clueless as to how his next work is going to be like?
You missed my point and then restated your objection to the author. I was illustrating that little-sister themed stories have all shapes and sizes: example #1 is a romantic drama, #2 is a romantic comedy, #3 the girl isn't even a sister (she's an alien) and it's simply a (mild) fetish-hentai.
Yes, i know all that. But my point is the very notion of "imouto" itself. Considering that the author's previous "imouto" series left a bad taste in my mouth, is it that weird that i would be wary were he to create other series with "imouto" label on it?
Firstly, I never said that the word "imouto" didn't involve sibling relationships; they do, and that fact is pretty obvious. Secondly, it seems you aren't distinguishing romance from sexuality. OreImo didn't involve a sexual relationship, for example.
Just because there's no sexual relationship, doesn't mean the relationship isn't being sexualized. The very fact that both Kirino and Kyosuke hold feelings beyond simply sibling love towards each other (similar to that of lovers) at the end of the series is the proof that their relationship is being sexualized. Pretty similar example can be drawn from many other series with "imouto" on the title, be it the sister lusting after her brother or vice versa
It seems you really dislike the notion of brother/sister romance, which of course is your preference, but it makes me wonder what impact you were trying to make in this thread other than to vent your emotion, and/or make fans of Tsukasa/OreImo mad?
Well, we're on the forum. Isn't that the point? To post our thoughts and opinions on things?
If you disagree with someone, go ahead and have it at him. But stop with this apparent crap if you think someone can't allowed to post his opinion, be it positive or negative, just because you don't approve it. |
