Now, now, I know you're just looking at my score on this anime and going like,
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?! What a weirdo!"
But first, let me clarify.
You, the other person on the other side of this screen, who's probably watched countless animes and dove deep in the rabbit hole and found this anime,
You forgot that "Anime", is fiction.
That's all there is to it, ANIME is fiction. Will you see an incredibly petite brown-haired girl named Taiga doing roundhouse kicks and knocking people out? No.
ANIME is fiction, therefore it's not real. It will never be real, it's impossible to be real, only an entertainment that helps convey feelings to people emotions that they've never felt.

I regret watching it, I wish i left it at s2 and read the manga instead. It was a waste of time, literally. Who even thought it was a good idea to make this? Why the fuck did he refuse to date anyone that confessed to him? Siblings dating, heck marrying each other is wrong in so many levels. ''oH BuT sOmE pEoPlE aRe LiKe ThAt In ReAl LiFe!!!!!!!'' Yes but that doesn't change the fact that it's WRONG. I liked s1, s1 ona and s2 but this? No. Would i recommend watching it? No. Just drop it after s2.

GLORIOUS.
Yes, I gave the most controversial and infamous episodes of 2013 an 8/10. Care to know why before downvoting? Read the review!
It will probably piss off the absurd majority of readers and will probably get buried under page 20~30, but I'll write it anyway.
[Note that this is a review for the "specials" released as eps. 14~16 and the conclusion of the anime]
While I'm still appreciating the afterglow of this series, I get me wondering if the reason why I could fully enjoy it is because I'm not part of the fandom.
This ought to be the most reasonable conclusion, given that it successfully made the entire fanbase look like fools.
...well not as terrific as Haruhi's Endless Eight, though.
OreImo originally had a lot of comedy, and I'm more than pleased to see that writers kept tha…

Well then, let's get a few important things out of the way. As I go into this in an attempt to lose my review virginity, I'll also add that I see OreImo specials not as standalone, but as a continuation of OreImo2. This should go without saying - They are the final episodes. I'll attempt to write this without using overly complicated words. I believe reviews should be friendly and will do my best to explain my points and try to be concise. And, by the way, there will be spoilers lower down - You can choose not to read them, but it makes understanding this review harder. This is because, after all, these are the final episodes.
I'll assume you have either watched OreImo1 and OreImo2 (I'll refer to this bundle of last episodes as OreImo Specials), and you're just wanting to check what's up…

21 minutes, 12 seconds.
This number is your one chance to save yourself from the disasterphe that is the Oreimo ending. Once you reach this point in the final episode of the OVAs, stop the playback and end it right there. So long as you do, it provides a perfectly solid conclusion to the series with no cop outs or asspulls, and the rest of the story can easily be left to your imagination. If you are a glutton for punishment however, proceed at your own risk. Know that what you see cannot be unseen though. Trust me on this one, take the blue pill and stay in wonderland Neo. You don't want to know how far down the rabbit hole goes in this case. I'll take you out for a juicy and delicious steak instead.
I originally was planning on writing a review for the entire series, but upon completing…

I'm surprised at all the bad reviews these last three episodes got, but after reading some, it seems like many people are just mad that they didn't get the pairing they wanted. So a word of advice to prospective watchers...
Watch it. Because it's the end, and most of all, because it's an actual ending. I guarantee that all the plots are resolved, with a few interesting twists for good measure. Just try to ignore whatever pairing you were hoping for, and enjoy it as a story
However, if you finished the episodes and are just window-shopping for opinions, I got just what you need...
SPOILERS! and more, all for free! Just read the fine print below:
While the over-the-top rejection of every girl (except Kirino) seemed cruel, it had to be done. Kyousuke loved Kirino, period. And while Kyousu…

There really is no other way to visualise the plot of these last three episodes other than the metaphorical fist of God flattening everything you once knew about a harem king and his own little world. Whether the ending itself is satisfactory or not is entirely up to you, your expectations and how soon you realised it was inevitable. This does not excuse the incredibly poor execution of the conclusion to a show I wish I could hold in the harem halls of fame.
I will, unlike many, avoid using spoilers in this summary because I believe these episodes should come with a warning label attached to them. Something like, "Attention human! If you continue down this path you are now aware this plot was rushed and condensed into far too few an episode number due to pressure on the author and writers…

With the conclusion contained in this 3 episode special the OreImo series can be best described as a series that got progressively worse with each new release. The first season was very good, the second one was already lackluster and this... I have no idea what this is meant to be. The story is a directionless train-wreck, the characters are completely ruined (every last one of them) and the ending has the ability to induce anger even in the most docile of individuals.
Now let's have a look at all of this in detail. Some SPOILERS will be involved.
First off the story. So you've followed the anime or the light novel up to this point and know what's coming. Indeed the Kirino route is what the makers decided would be best to end this anime on. But hang on - in this 3 episode special you'l…

It's impressive how a series can manage to alienate every part of its fanbase in just over one hour.
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS HEAVY SPOILERS.
Let me be clear: this is simply my opinion on the ending and not the series as a whole. Perhaps I will get around to that someday. I would be rating the series as a whole much differently. In any case, if you are reading this review I expect you have watched the first two seasons by now, so take that into account. Because it is just a trio of episodes/OVAs making up the ending, I won't bother making sections for each category.
While I generally don't like harems, I was able to sit through the first two seasons of OreImo without complaint. My main complaints about harems are their 1-dimensional girls and pathetically dense and oblivious MC. OreImo was…

This review may contain spoilers.
A lot of people were very disappointed at the ending of Oreimo. While it was hardly unpredictable, it seems many wanted a full incest ending. I certainly wouldn’t have minded myself, but I think it is dangerous to allow personal feelings to get in the way of appreciating the value of the story.
Now as an anime, I’m willing to admit that Oreimo had its flaws. Several, annoying, even fatal flaws. As you know by now, Oreimo is a harem, and a particularly stereotypical one at that. The incredibly dense protagonist is surrounded by shallow, barely characterized girls who fall heels over head for him for inexplicable reasons like “He’s nice to everyone.” At some points I wondered if Kyouske even had male friends. These girls generally have unoriginal, single-…

I know a lot of people are bitter about this ending but let me just say this, I feel it was perfect. Obviously spoilers galore ahead.
We got the build up, the confessions, to see them as lovers (wasn't that kiss beautiful?) but honestly after all we've been through thats not what this show is. It's fun, its lighthearted and above while it seems we are back to square one its pretty obvious that we are not.
There is so much progress in their relationship. They are open with each other, friendly and know how each other feel. They have a unique relationship and while they can't be together forever as lovers (they had their fun), they can be together forever as siblings and best friends.
We've seen the misadventures, the comedy, the seriousness, adorable characters, heartbreak, a beautiful…

The first season of Oreimo was an outstanding comedy anime. The second season was a lackluster sequel that took itself way too seriously, focusing on the harem that surrounds the main character, Kyousuke. The second season still managed to have some really good moments and I enjoyed it enough. These specials wrap up the second season.
This... this is just horrible.
I realize Kyousuke was a siscon, but thats not what bothers me. I can handle incest in various degrees. Though, I did find myself cringing in various scenes because... the romance is just NOT done well. At all. Even between two characters who weren't related, this would be dreadful. Its writen horribly and nothing that was done could ever possibly make me like the two characters.
I'd get into specifically why I hate Kyousu…

Since the Oreimo finale made an unexpected attempt to deliver on the show’s initial premise, here are my thoughts on the big finish:
1) Kyousuke and Kirino have a really tame idea of what it means to be “lovers”. I kept waiting for the S-word to come up during their vague discussions of their future as Siblings In Love, but it seems a couple of chaste kisses and many exaggerated exclamations to Kyousuke’s premature harem constituted the entirety of their brief incestuous adventure.
2) As implied by the opening of this review, I was surprised when the incest taboo was finally broken. Incest as an anime trope is notorious for being manipulated for laughs, exploited as fanservice, and/or cheaply skirted around at the last second (“Onii-chan was only my adopted brother all along! Yay!”) in…

Let's jump right into my review, shall we?
Story: 1/10
The last 5 minutes of the final episode makes the entire rest of the series a pointless waste of time... so if you plan on watching this, just close your media player RIGHT AFTER the kiss that occurs during the final episode.
It's not possible to give a score lower than 1, but if there were a way to do it, then I would. Enjoyment: 1/10
I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy this at all, but a 1 still counts as a mere speck of enjoyment right?
It's like going on a good roller coaster ride. It's a really good ride until it takes you through a tunnel. Unbeknownst to you, the tunnel is filled with concrete. You're cruising through the tunnel and then WHAM!
That's almost a completely accurate representation of what the last few mi…

What's up with all the Call of Duty rage kids suddenly thinking they can review a show based on one ending? Tell me, is that really the way to review a show? "Yes, but there's INCEST-" yeah. There is. You got a problem with that?
Now, I don't like incest. I absolutely dislike it and I believe it's wrong for two siblings to get together and become lovers. It didn't sit well with me from the beginning of the series mostly because of the title, and it never sat well with me with Yosuga no Sora. But check my profile. Where is Yosuga no Sora now? What are my favorite anime shows ever? Yeah, oddly enough, I LOVE both of those incest shows. Incest matters. It's very unethical, and it's treading very deep waters when the siblings end up eloping. But that doesn't mean we have to undermine our prev…

A lot of people are complaining about the ending to a fantastic series. I'm here hoping to get my point across.
People are saying the ending is rage-worthy, some even call it "bad." But these are people reviewing on a personal/emotional level. Critically, the ending was logical, and dare I say it, perfect.
Now, was I happy with the ending? Absolutely not. It's one of those "Why would you do that!?" moments. And being a fairly new anime watcher, this was a first for me. In my opinion, the ending was great, including the part that everyone has been complaining about. As I said before though, an un-biased opinion would (probably) say this ending was the only way to go with it. Even still, it tore me up emotionally, to a point where some tears were shed. That's why I give the series a 10, an…

“There is no way they can end it like this!”
By that I mean all those little, but important, things that the producer (A1-Pictures) decided to leave out from the source material (i.e. the light novel, LN) and the half-assed animation during small segments throughout the special OVA series. Many casual viewers will likely be confused with the ending because of those missing little details from the LN. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the entire series. But as a show with global recognition, I expected more efforts from the anime staff to make this (the specials) a standalone masterpiece depicting the hardship and challenges our protagonists have to face in their relationship. Instead, all we get is a water-downed version of the LN with many crucial scenes butchered. Objectively speaking, as a w…

Well, it's been a fun little ride. I mean, a ride with an otaku/tsundere/little-sister fetish obsessed sister and her average brother. From what we've seen over 3 years ago in 2010, Oreimo made a smash debut when it opened its doors to the 2D world for viewers. But hey, all things has to come to an end right? Well, the ride is finally over because these OVA episodes concludes the light novels. However, what I got from these OVA episodes were a combination of rage, mixed, and also some emotional feelings.
For one thing, these OVA episodes concludes the light novels. What this means is that it adapts the final volume 12 and give viewers a conclusion; aka no cliffhanger situation. Now, the OVA episodes itself directly expands on the season 2 of Oreimo. This implies that you have finished wat…

(SPOILER FREE!!!!!) Review for the whole series as well.
Love is a risk. What strengthens it is our commitment to risking it all, even if it means complete failure. While those in love may suffer, they stay true to themselves, not allowing others to stop them. That is what OreImo taught me.
It was a fun ride. With every possible way they could have messed up the ending, it went relatively well.
The Story [8] takes you on a trip through every girl for Kyousuke, tying up loose ends. Although it lacked suspense regarding the ultimate "decision," I can't say I wasn't happy with it. Closure is a rare occurrence in anime, since many cannot contain their stories in one season, and must have an open end, ultimately left to the highly competitive market to maintain them until the end. We made…

I saw this at Otakon 2013 for the worldwide premiere with author Tsukasa Fushimi, director Hiroyuki Kambe and editor Kazuma Miki. Being in a theater meant deafening applause and laughter at times, but it was still a great experience.
Story: 7
While these OVAs were absolutely hilarious and entertaining, the story left off on a very abrupt note. Without a satisfying conclusion, I can't say the story was that great. That being said, the ride up until that point was lightning-paced and thoroughly enjoyable. It was fun to see where all of the characters ended up.
Art: 8
Art style is the same as the rest of the series, with realistic backgrounds and well-drawn characters firmly set in modern-day Japan. Might even see some familiar Tokyo landmarks when you watch. Very well done, nothing remar…
