Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai

I wrote a long reply to your post, but I refreshed the page by accident, so I'm just gonna say the main idea. I know exactly what closed minded-ness is, I have to deal with it daily. I know exactly why she behaves the way she does, but her insecurities and personal issues don't give her the right to push everyone around how she sees fit. And I haven't forgotten her confession, that was something to appreciate, but it doesn't absolve her from the way she acted up until that point. Her character has learned a bit of humility, thus she has grown a bit, but people don't mature just like that, in an instant. At least she is shown to be on the right track, by the end of episode 11.

About the father, I didn't say he had narrow views in general, I was only referring to the subject of anime/eroge/otakus (since we don't see many other scenes involving him). His stern behaviour is a positive thing, but I say his views are narrow in this regard, because his disliking for anime/manga/otakus is not based on something he experienced, but on what he heard/read from the media.

About Kyousuke, I can sympathize with his desire to help those he cares about, I really do, but instead of being direct and stern when the situation calls for it, he chooses to bow down his head too much, and in this regard I think he should man up. This may be ok in anime, but in real life most people will take advantage of that kind of behaviour. He should have acted like at the end of episode 11 from the beginning.

On a side note, the end of ep 11 was a bit tear jerking. I know how it feels like, when you discover that someone you fought for realizes what you've done for them, and are truly thankfull.



I actually didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.
