SubGroup: [ANE] (BluRay)
"Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" was an interesting and very entertaining Anime, although not an "Entry-level" show a must-watch for any anime fan.
The main character covers for his sister over and over leading to some extremely awkward and hilarious scenes (one in particular with their Anti-Otaku policeman father causing me to inhale a mouthful of cola and almost die).
Even though he does so much for his sister, Kirino has a lot of trouble showing affection towards her brother and is almost all Tsun and no Dere, to the point I would refer to her as "Tundra" xD.
There
...
are characters which are Tsundere to the point where Tsundere may no longer be an appropriate description.
I was particularly impressed with the OP videos which change every episode.
The TV show aired 12 episodes but the Bluray includes an alternate 12th episode and an additional 3 episodes which focus more on Kuroneko These episodes follow the story as written in the light novels where the aired episode 12 was written for the Anime to end it at 12 episodes for the schedule. These episodes have a slightly more "not-safe for airing" dialogue one which again almost caused my death and introduce a number of new characters including Akagi's sister causing some amazing moments to this extension of such a great show. I feel the extension episodes may have been better that the aired ones but I should take into account they built up on the events of those previous ones.
Apart from the show almost killing me....twice, It feels like they poured the last of their budget into the Bluray. The Bluray-only episodes' OP and ED were also a big step-up. I would like to see a sequel series but one following the bluray "True" story rather than the aired one.
The Audio and story directing was very well done with very fluid emotion from start to finish leading to a climactic ending.
Not to give anything away, the true ending was truly spectacular and beautiful. I really hope more people get to see it.
All in all though a very well executed Anime that is a barrel of laughs and well worth an afternoon for the casual-minded.
I look forward to giving the sequel an even better review!
