| Been thinking about this a lot lately, so I'll just use this post to vent my mind out. I do genuinely believe Oreimo implicated the Otaku culture perfectly, and there's a reason why I think it still holds up. The things they explore honestly amaze me: doing irl online meet-ups, going to Comiket, and even having a whole episode dedicated to an anime being adapted and how Kirino was pessimistic with the way they handled it. The one scene that really stuck with me was when Kirino's friend, Ayase, dropped Kirino for her weird otaku, sister fetish hobby, and claimed being into those does more damage to people than good; they later befriended each other again, but Ayase was still a bit iffy about the Weeb culture. I'm uprightly surprised that no other anime has done a greater deep dive into the otaku culture than Oreimo. I guess you could argue My Dress-up Darling came the closest, but even then, it's nothing to compare with Oreimo. I guess that's what makes Oreimo special to me, with how they handle the culture that is still quite accurate to this day. What do you guys think tho? |

| What I hated most is how awful the MC sister was to her MC brother, then they have that same brother claiming to be in love with the sister. 🤦🏻♂️ It didn’t make any sense at all. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| There's another anime called Genshiken that perhaps has done an even deeper dive into the otaku culture. |
