The fourth episode fan-favorite Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai delivered yet more of the goodness appreciated in earlier episodes, including a healthy amount of brother-sister service along with a trip to Comiket, the most holy of otaku events.
For those few dwellers under a rock who might still be unfamiliar with the series, last week’s article went into enough detail on the particulars concerning seiyuu, studio, and such to make for a good reading.
Those already familiar with the fun mix of a Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu and KissxSis style story combined with a bigger budget and more polish should be able to dive right in.
Those particular mini-shorts of Kirino appear to be a favorite of hers, given how often she has them on both in the manga and anime.
The game Kyosuke plays throughout the episode, Siscalypse (a portmanteau of ‘sister’ and ‘apocalypse’) happens to be filled with Magical Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha references, such as Raising Heart’s tagline above, and the Nanoha-esque magical circles for the character’s spellcasting.
The victorious Reika here appears to be a non-specific Touhou reference also.
Saori’s in-game avatar is cute enough, but even here the anime denies a look at the face behind megane, as the manga does as early as its first volume…
The scene below is undoubtedly the highlight of the entire episode:
The odd fluffy appearance of Kirino’s bra underneath Kyosuke’s clutching hand is distinctive…
A necessary accoutrement for any true otaku’s residence – boxes of ero-doujinshi.
The CM during Tokyo MX’s broadcast incidentally had a number of Ore no Imouto ads, including one for the light novels that relayed the importance bits of information above.
In the unlikely event anyone is interested in Kyosuke:
As the last episode’s preview promised, a trip to the glorious Comiket, a must for basically all anime that put forth fellow otaku as main characters:
As we’ve seen here before, itasha are another of Comiket’s usual attractions.
Note the Fate/Stay Night lookalike on the far left.
The crowds at the Comiket are legendary, although this is presumably Day 1, and not the even more ero-oriented Day 3 which is always the worst as far as crowding goes.
Kyosuke is still discovering ero-doujinshi!
Kirino engaging in a much appreciated bout of Kuroneko stripping.
The company booth area above never actually gets this empty, mind you.
This particular screenshot of Reika’s tentacle attack leaves a lasting impression on the mind…
Fully moving into the rotating-ED system, this week’s ED was this beautiful technicolor, if static, sequence with a song named 白いココロ / Shiroi Kokoro (White Heart).
The song is actually sung by Ayase Aragaki (CV: 早見沙織 / Saori Hayami, voice of Higashi no Eden’s Saki and Sekirei’s Musubi), Kirino’s dark-haired friend from earlier in the episode.

Why does incest seem to be a common anime theme?
Cause the taboo nature makes it exciting. Plus most otaku don't have an imouto so it's the wish fulfillment notion.
Show of the season IMO. Milky Holmes and Soredemo are tied for second.
@VZ
Yeah, but that second half of your argument is rather further poisoning of morals rather than the demand for it.
The answer to that is it's older than the shinx and the bible.... Lot, cousin of Abraham, did his daughters, unknowingly, to form the Ammonite Race and that other pesky race.... One of the Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt was forced to marry his mom... and then there was that guy Oedipus, who did his mom, from Greece, Signy, who did her kid brother, from Scandinavian mythology of heroes... etc etc....
Of course anime would experience that given that RL history is littered with incests....
If I were to go back in time and see a caveman having sex with a dead animal he just killed that wouldn't really constitute innate human longings.
Thanks to the girl's obsession with loli, her horny brother will soon be a proud dad of a three-eyed baby with a troll's tail.:)
That's an unusual away to show sibling rivalry.
Make love, not war. ^_^

so guys what is so interesting on this boring show ?
The incest faithship.
Though I watch it and don't care about that, I pretty much prefer Ayase. Also, I have a little sister, and even if she would turn out to be "cute" like what the anime try to impose, never would I do something indecent with her, also adding she is 16 and I'm 18 now, same diff as the anime.
Only people who doesn't have a sister are turned on by incest. Though maybe there are some freaks out there who actually exceed my affirmative.
It's Day 3. Saori specifically explains that.
If you zoom in on the "Fate/Stay Night" car, you can read the sub-title beneath it.
"Unlicensed Blade Works"
Oh the irony!
“The crowds at the Comiket are legendary, although this is presumably Day 1, and not the even more ero-oriented Day 3 which is always the worst as far as crowding goes.”
Hmm, I thought the scene took place in Day 3, as Kuroneko clearly said "I came yesterday of course" and Saori added "I came the day before as well".
Looking at the credits, I'm even more amazed at the effort AIC put into this, as I see real game developers doing the CG animation for the Siscalypse battle scenes, and real doujinshi circles doing the covers of Kirino's doujinshis.
It appears as if many companies agreed to bring a killer to dethrone K-ON!
As long as it is good, I appreciate the effort.
I thought it was day 2.
As I posted before, when Kuroneko, Saori and Kirino are discussing ... It turns out that Kuroneko was there yesterday and Saori then tells that she was there day before that. That would mean it's the third and final day.
Leftside did the art? thats awsome, one of my favorite artists.
This show isnt good at all but the manga is somewhat decent.
Amazing color as usual.... looks like the detractors were wrong about this anime's art will worsen overtime. It's totally color smart and shiny I had to rub my eyes.
Looks like a number of people here also got reminded of the next Comiket.... Hope there will be a torrent of OreImo doujins.... ^^
BTW looks like they skipped the part where Kousaks went to look at porn of girls with glasses.... with Kirino's PC too.... it could have been so fun too...
Another best part of the show was when Kuroneko/Ruri gave the Limited Edition disc to Kirino. Double the Tsundere, double the fun~
What the hell i've never seen this episode. o-o/ "sir i do believe that gropping is not considered incest."
I had a big ass BONER seeing this not because of incest but because I want to F up Kirino
As they say let there be panties :3
"Kate: Starry Night: Unlicensed Blade Works"
Oh, you.
Only thing holding this series together is a female character taking on male otaku characteristics.
DUN DUN
The plot dic-, I mean thickens
(Kirino has some nice legs)
Sugar and spice and everything nice...
I don't like incest stuff at all, but Kirino is beyond cute so I'm willing to overlook it. I appreciate the panty shots as well, and to those complaining, it's still an entertaining show. If a panty shot or two completely ruins a show for you, you need to grow up--it's when shows completely revolve around context-free fanservice like Rosario To Vampire that they suck.
rosario was a good series on its own and although the excessive pantyshots were annoying the anime was still decent.
YOU KNOW KZ (of Vocaloid fame) did the opening?!?!
I am sold~
For those who said that Ore no Imouto its not incest....
Where is your god now?
He's busy fapping. ^_^
I never understood that embarrassed-freaked out reaction characters give towards adult oriented material. And doesn't Kyousuke have a mountain of porn? Now all of a sudden a random doujin gets him hot and bothered?
Wow, for the Nanoha references, it's more than just referring, it's completely ripping off. The game itself is basically a carbon-copy of the PSP Nanoha game "The Battle of Aces" by Namco just with different characters. Nice.
needs a lot more yuri
Damn true. Needs more Ruri-x-Kirino or Ayase-x-Kirino..
Anyway, anybody else think that Ayase looks more suitable as Kyosuke's sister compared to Kirino?
Look at pic #9. It's a yuri orgy waiting to happen. They just have to show it one of these eps.
It is actually day 3 of the event as Saori commented that she has already queued from 2 days ago...
"although this is presumably Day 1, and not the even more ero-oriented Day 3 which is always the worst as far as crowding goes."
I confirm!!! This is day 3!!!
This anon speaks the truth
One of the best animes this season.
Still i think Kyosuke is too much of a wimp. I hope he shows some backbone over the course of the anime.
I think the way he stood up against their father was pretty backbone-y, if not to say badass.
he seems to have forgotten all of that in episode 3. i was referring to the scene where Kirino tells him to stay in his room when her friends arrive. Well i have a younger sister too, but she wouldnt dare saying sth like this to me.
Maybe its me, i hate it when someone doesnt get the respect he deserves.
Thank heavens there wasn't blinding rays of light or other censorship during the "accidental" encounter. Very curious how the anime will play out from this point.
Looks good) ehehe~

My god
who writes these articles
It's Artefact-sama/teme/other-honorifics-dependant-on-your-opinion-about-article, who else could... WAIT A SEC! IT'S QUEN?? Looks like it's Quen. Tsumimasen
Hello!
Forget anon@20:25. I love your style, Quen.
Oh lols the anime is already further into the story than the manga
