Note:

While I enjoyed the show and am grateful to the whoever uploaded the series, there is a missing episode.

When the new shows where streamed online a second version of episode 12 was produced with a different ending that sets up the storyline of the following 3 episodes. The episode that aired on TV in Japan is referred to as the good ending, but the 4 different episodes are referred to as the true ending. The last episode is expected to be streamed sometime next month. If the up loader has a copy of Episode 12 True Route it would be appreciated.

Review:

Animation: The show is relative standard for its publication date, the animation is clean but not particularly creative or imaginative. Character designs are a mix of generic designs and some more original characters. One aspect of note, when the show bothers to do opening and closing sequences they are unique to that episode, the same music is almost always used but the animation changes. There is a different opening song to one episode, where the opening credits to Kirino's favorite anime are shown instead.

Characters: While Kirino herself can be extremely annoying (admittedly she's designed to be, most tsundere characters are) the show mostly works because of the cast, there's not a whole lot here that is original, but for the most part it works fairly well. And it is far less creepy than some of the other brother/sister shows, I'm thinking of Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne as a recent example.

Entertainment: While I didn't love the show, I did enjoy it, it's reasonable amusing, and for the most part I liked the characters. Kirino might be a bit over the top in terms of both being annoying and being successful, she's more than a bit Mary Sue when it comes to what she can do. She's a gifted student and athlete, a working professional model, an obsessive gamer, and later a published novelist. But she's made up for by the rest of the cast, Kyousuke in particular is much more down to earth than most characters in his place might be. He's not expecting to change the world, just doing his best to be a good big brother, and not get himself into too much trouble along the way.

Rating: While the show does touch on some adult concepts, it doesn't fall prey to excessive fan service, there's no nudity that I recall, no sex, no swearing, and little more than comic violence. Generally Kirino belting Kyousuke. (show less)
