[Anime] Oreimo Season 2

that was all kinds of terrible. If you were entertained I have no qualms with you, but if you thought that was actually "good", well... (insert maniacal laughter here). It did in three episodes what Haganai Next and OreShura did in one episode, ruin almost everything.

Right away, Kuroneko gets rejected. I can handle that and the scene itself was played out very well, but then we go straight into romcom antics with Kirino. Awkward transition for sure. So fast-forward past the part where Saori and her sister are suddenly on good terms with no exposition, Kyousuke confesses to Kirino, which went pretty well. But then we get a confession from Kanako, a character that never really mattered or had any sort of development. She gets rejected then it's back to romcom antics. (Saori gets no rejection scene though. What the hell?)

And then we get Final Boss Manami. That's right, the girl who has barely showed up all season and was only (kinda) foreshadowed as being manipulative once. So here I am, thinking, "Well, now the show has the perfect chance to make Kirino sympathetic by showing that Manami is manipulative (no matter how ridiculous it may seem). Surely he can't fuck this up again." And then Kirino starts acting like a real bitch again. She had the moral high ground and could've let Manami blow herself up, but no, far be it for Kirino to act as a decent human being for once.

Then, something happened. Something that affirmed my belief that Manami is the best girl. She immediately punched Kirino in the gut; an event I have long awaited for. It was totally out of her established character, but it was damn awesome!

To fuck up not one, but three potential relationships for a few pretend dates.
Now he's alone, his childhood friend hates his guts, his sister's friend, who confessed on the stage probably won't speak to him anymore, that was probably the single most emberasing thing she did and what did she get for it ? A big fat no. Ayase will not speak with him all the same, and then there is Ruri, who would have been an awesome girlfriend.
