The 3rd episode of AIC’s Ore no Imouto’s anime adaptation continues its brisk run through the original source material, keeping up the high production values and performances seen in earlier episodes that have given the show its reputation for being the season’s top show.
Praise for the seiyuu’s performances has been one of the acclaims given to the show, something not all together unexpected given some of the names involved.
Kirino, for instance, is played by 竹達 彩奈 / Ayana Taketatsu, still a rank rookie in the industry but whose sweet voice also portrayed no less an icon than Azusa Nakano of the Keion-bu. Surprisingly, Azunyan’s voice works very well for a tsundere, although the voices only truly sound similar when Kirino is in dere mode.
Kirino (above), along with the rest of the show’s cast, have been given what is generally recognised as an excellent transition to anime by AIC, a studio which must have gotten much practice in the animating of bishoujo from their work on Strike Witches II earlier this year.
One quibble might be that the adaptation to TV anime might have “standardized” the more stylized character designs from the manga and light novel’s illustrations, resulting in Kirino losing some of her perky Konata-esque facial expressions and the loss of the many “beauty” shots of Kirino striking a pose with a peculiarly angelic face that take up so many of the manga’s pages.
The anime version’s shots are almost as good, however:
Kyosuke, for most intents and purposes the actual main character of the show, also has a very respectable seiyuu behind his voice – 中村 悠一 / Yuiichi Nakamura, who was naturally not discussed as much before the show began as his female co-star, but as the distinctive voice of Clannad’s Tomoya and Macross F’s Alto he is one of the best available for a male lead.
His voice here is virtually identical to most of his past roles, as tends to be the case with male Japanese seiyuu.
The second most prominent girl in the story, Ruri (aka Kuroneko), is actually played by the best known seiyuu in the entire show: none other than 花澤香菜 / Kana Hanasawa herself, using a more restrained voice than those used in her better known roles such as Bakemonogatari’s Nadeko (i.e., the “na no~” voice), appropriately using a voice more akin to that of her role as Darker than Black’s redheaded Suou.
The bespectacled fujoushi Saori (played by 生天目 仁美 / Hitomi Nabatame, who has made a career of doing supporting roles) is just as fun in the TV show as she was in the novels and manga.
Kirino’s gusto for eroge is fairly well known by now.
Moe-some Manami’s delicate, sweet voice happens to come from 佐藤 聡美 / Satomi Satou, who, mind-bogglingly enough, is also the voice of K-ON!’s usually unfeminine tomboy Ritsu.
The third episode is the first to give a proper ED:
The trend of recent years to include an omake by way of an ending illustration by various 2D artists yields this lovely shot of brother and sister from famed Key eroge artist Na-Ga:

Saw this coming. But its 2 hours before I expected it.
Lolis + Pantsu always make headlines on Sankaku
I just love Na-Ga art.
Thank goodness! I'd never get to know more about Loli Pantsu if I didn't see it here first - and that's not a joke! Sometimes I totally miss these things unless I see them here. Shame really - we need more Loli Pantsu! ^_^;
@ MKS, you act as though there are better things to talk or read about in the world....
Amazing how that half a second pantsu exposure manage to turn the anime into being labeled as a "pantsu anime" lol
Lolis + pantsu can only be beaten by lolis without pantsu. ^_^
Looks at #2
As if wasn't sold enough already.
Looks at #21
Dammit she's cute enough already? How much cutter does she has to be?
Looks at #23
Ok that cute, would be nice.
headlines in my brain too. It can't be helped...
Quen and Artefact have such different ways of writing articles. I felt relaxed reading Quen's and whenever I read Artefacts I feel depressed...
I'll take that as a compliment, so, thank you. ^^;
I enjoy both. Diversity ftw!
kyosuke desperately needs a new haircut...
but ENOUGH OF THAT TIME TO WATCH THE NEW EPISODE FOR GREAT JUSTICE AND KIRINO!
Mr. Bushido is her brother!
Beware! Or he will cough blood in your face!
Yeah. Talk about self-sacrifice.
I think it felt a little too much when he protected his sister to that extreme but DAMN!
And he finally got a reward for his efforts too.
Yes, moar pantsu...moar moe...moar ep's of this series!
and ofc, that pantsu shot will prob get censored soon enough
LOL. Along with every other show out there atm? And honestly... The censoring almost makes the shows look dirtier than they are in some cases. But yeah. I gotta say, I like the show so far.
Yeah I'm surprised the evil rays of light spared Kirino's pantsu.
Nobody cares for behind pantsu, s'all `bout the front. That's where a girl really shines.
Smooth and shiny. Mmmmh~ ^_^
Panty shots in anime....how original
dude... do you realize what site this is?
humans in anime.... how original. :(
It's kind of mandatory now.
In one way it's great, but it keeps getting harder to introduce my friends to anime :(
Subs out now.
this week was earlier than I expected
wich fansub?
Mazui.
thanks
then may god bless mazui!
MAzui
thanks
then may the force be with mazui!
All because you think that this is the best show this season does not make it so and suggesting that it is common opinion is just plain retarded.
God it is like your K-On! posts all over again except this time the show is actually good.
Still, it IS a great show, and hopefully it'll just get better. as much as DLC is good, I also think this will have it's fair share of fun and plot too. And at least it's not all about fanservice or slapstick! *wipes brow* Phew! ^^;
Sorry if you disagree with something (?) I might've mentioned in the post.
It likely doesn't matter, but when when I refer to something being of "general consesus" or "opinion", I almost always am referring to the Japanese blogosphere and/or 2ch. I have little idea of what goes on on the English Otaku Internet.
Hmm, fourteen~
Typical tighty whities.
nice anime overall, and last ilustration by Na-Ga was nice, wonder when will be made an eroge of this
SAME OLD MOE SHIT. Fucking damn otaku shit heads
I am oddly disappointed by that... I love pantsu... but part of me is still disappointed... I'm so confused
My Little Sister's Panties Can't Smell This Sweet.
Have you checked? Never underestimate panties.
They can. ^_^
forgot to mention that Kyosuke's voice is also Fei-Long from Street Fighter 4
I can't mention everything a particular seiyuu has done. ^^;
Doesn't feel like Nakamura has that older brother feel.
Everytime he speaks, I feel like he's talking to Nagisa or scolding Ranka......
that last shot is amazing,
KEY!
I thought it was so-so
i love this anime. it is somehow refreshing and bright colours.
Well. it is a "bah embarassed girly which denys everything but bein quite nice" character, but like k-on you can just relax. ^-^
i fell in love with the name Kirino <3 like the one in bamboo blade ^^
HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG @ Na-Ga's drawing
The article misspelled the surname of Saori's seiyuu; it's spelled "Nabatame" 生天目 仁美 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitomi_Nabatame
Thank you - typos seem to follow me around like familiars.
a.k.a. Shizuka Itou's WAIFU Number 1...
