Lol @ "What kind of flag is this!?"

Her dad's just ignorant. How is being an otaku worth any less than being a sports fan? Etc. They're hobbies, which means they aren't supposed to be "worth" anything in particular (whatever that means). They're forms of entertainment and leisure. However, with hobbies can come passion, friendship and community. Kirino's "even if he throws out my anime and games, it wouldn't change the person I am" is exactly how I feel about anime, manga, doujinshi and BL.

Anyway, I'm glad Kyousuke stood up to his dad and the dad relented. I knew he'd try to cover for her. It was pretty funny when the dad was all "you were playing games about doing indecent thing to your sister in your sister's room!?" because that was what Kyousuke had a problem with in the first place. XD;

LOL.. and I was wondering if they had cut the opening part.. and then it played at the end :D really love the opening..

LOL at Kyousuke.. haha.. I didn't expect that he would claim that as his hobby.. LOL

and the last part about Kirino calling him Aniki was great.. for a while there, I wondered if this was really 12 episodes long.. that could have been a great ending :D

If they don't mess this up.. this show's gonna reach my top 10 :D

Excellent episode, the ending was great.

This series is now one that has kept my interest, which is hard to do now-a-days.
I look forward to seeing what happens next.

Wow, this episode was great. The "Loved it!" part of the rating REALLY applies here.

I imagined this scenario (parents finding out about Kirino's hobby) to happen at the end of the series, so I wonder if it can keep up this kind of quality throughout. Here's hoping ti does.

Kyousuke was not taking precautions >:O He should've saved the game first before choosing the choices to his dad xDD LOL saving the "little sisters" is not a bad choice after all LOL

I tend to save first before choosing haha

I had a moment at the end, eventhough she's only saying aniki xDD too cute XP

Best anime this season! I'm kind of like Kirino except my parents are somewhat ok with my hobby.
No one should be embarrassed of their hobby and keeping it as a secret.

Well done. Cliched and over-teh-top, yet flawless dramatisation with perfect pacing. This was one of the defining moment of this show. Kyousuke was going a bit unrealistically overboard, but still, its tension was very high and also overall speech was moving as he was standing up and sacrificing his reputation for sake of his sister.

Kirino's Arigatou was full of win. It proves that she isn't just annoying tsundere bitch we usually see (like Haruhi). She is definitely one of typical example of average teenage sister attitudes thus creating another cover of realism over the series.

Full of cliches, but I'm enjoying it. Blah Blah

Heh, there's no doubt about it now. This will go down as one of my favorite anime ever.

One of the best things about this is I can relate with Kirino.

Sure, my family's okay with the fact that I like anime, but I can't really tell them about ecchi or eroge, so I can't buy most of the posters, manga, or artbooks I want.

Still, it's nice to find someone to talk about it with!

Same here. I also thought that the parents would find out much later, so it kind of surprised me. I can't wait to see what the next episodes are about.

I feel like everyone should be calling Kyousuke "aniki" after what he did. That scene with his father was epic. The equivalent of falling on the grenade, the guy essentially got himself labelled a perv and siscon (not to mention a fist to the face) in order to save his little sister's precious eroge. Simply amazing. Aniki, I applaud you. Great episode!

Awesome episode! Like many have said, the anime of this season! I'm really enjoying it.

I can really relate to Kirino; no one likes anime around me. In fact, many people downright hate it and look down on hardcore fans such as myself. While my dad is the strict one, it's my mom who really hates the fact that I like anime.

Anyways, Kyousuke is a true man, to protect his sister like that. Still, it's going to be awkward around the house for him now, lol. Also, Kyousuke=Aniki!

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I was not expecting him to go that far.


Actually, this scenario is far more better in the light novel and in the manga. You can see that Kirino tried to throw an ashtray to his father for saying her collection is worthless only to get bitched slap by his father. Then the argument between Kyouske and his father is much more intense since he tried to fight back when the father tried to take all of Kirino's collection in her room.

tl;dr still I also like what they did in the anime when Kyousuke pretended that it was his collection..

That's the whole reason I'm even watching this show. I was really reluctant to even watch the first episode because I thought it was going to be some crappy incest show, but I guess it's not, so I've watched it this far. Anyways, yeah, I can relate to Kirino in that no one accepts anime around her except her brother. I've liked anime since I was maybe 13, but just not the eroge-type shows - think action, slice of life, and maybe a bit of shoujo here and there. My parents have never accepted it. When they found out I was into it they forbid me from watching it, but clearly I haven't listened. I was finally able to be a lot more open about it aftering I turned 17 and they didn't have as much control over me. My grandparents, aunts, and uncles were all the same towards my "childish cartoons." I think Kirino's whole situation is probably one of the main reasons people have watched this show since our "hobby" is not widely accepted.

On to the actual episode... it was nice. Dramatic, would be a good description. The main thing I didn't like was how heated up Kyou got at his Dad. Do a lot of other people get away with talking like that to their parents? Because all that yelling would've gotten me in a hell of a lot of trouble when I was living at home.

I can honestly say that give or take a few similarities and differences, Kirino and I, and not to mention just about a large portion of the otaku population, live, fundamentally, the same life. She truly embodies all of the good and bad that an otaku has to face in life: the good in the passion towards your favourite series/characters/any aspect of anime/manga in general, and the bad in having to face societal expectations on just about every level: not only being judged by the public but especially by those close to you.

I was honestly looking forward to a more concrete, realistic settlement between Kyousuke and the Kousaka father, given that it would have helped not just myself but maybe even others on how to approach your closest members when it concerns the otaku hobby. Sometimes I envy those who have a life like Saori and Kuroneko, where they either aren't being harshly judged or they could just do away with the judging. People in my position are forced to suppress what they love and accept societal expectations in order to be accepted at all.

While not the best series ever made, it's amazing because of its ability to touch and connect with people who are harshly misjudged because of the overall haunting negative image of otakus. While there are a lot of vices to be found in this hobby, there is also a lot of diamonds in the rough that are very well hidden, and I just that people would see that at least for the sake of acknowledging that this hobby is not as bad as people claim it to be.

At the very least, even if the rest of the series proves mediocre compared to this pseudo-climax, it can be stated from almost any perspective that this was the best episode so far.

tl;dr: Great, touching series. Probably the only redeeming series in what was a disappointing year for anime.

wow, everyone in my family knows i am an otaku lol. seriously. but as long as i turn up with my grades, they are absolutely okay with this. my parents even go as far as telling me "you know my this colleague's son watches anime too".

Back to the show, which I had no intention of watching thinking it might be another crappy incest show, but now Nakamura Yuuichi is the Aniki. and a nice one at it. This is the best episode of this week by far.

"Ne... Arigatou ne, Aniki!"

"Sonna Bakana....
Ariyenai...
Ore no imouta ga...
Ore no imouta ga konnani kawaii wake ga nai!"

upped my rating for the anime to 8/10

If only Shinji could talk to Gendou the same way Kyou talks to Gendou.
My current anime list is grossly, out of date, just so you know.
