The little sister, or imouto, completely transcends what they are in anime. In reality, you can usually believe your little sister is exactly what they appear to be, no cuteness or anything else about it. But in anime, the imouto is an entity celebrated and admired for their cuteness and beauty. However, in reality, they are simply normal girls, completely separate from their anime portrayals. Fall 2017"s season brought with it two shows which highlighted the imouto in its truest form. For fans of OreImo, here are two shows with a deep, deep focus on imouto this season.
About Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (OreImo)
- Episodes: 12
- Aired: Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2010
Kousaka Kyousuke is your typical Japanese high school student. He has a little sister named Kirino who he’s not particularly on good terms with anymore, but that’s to be expected. What’s not expected is that she’s deeply interested in little sisters herself. When he discovers his perfect and popular little sister is an imouto otaku, instead of ridiculing and condemning her, he quietly accepts her. Relieved by this, Kirino begins to open up to Kyousuke, and is finally given the push she needs to more openly accept her hobbies. As the two begin to grow closer, they find themselves meddling in each others lives and meeting new people. Kyousuke is slowly starting to think his little sister is actually cuter than he thought.
Is a little sister all you truly need? Can your little sister really be that cute? Does a hybrid imouto-hamster creature truly exist? These questions can only be answered in anime. Fall 2017 brought some exceptional imouto shows to fans of OreImo. Did you catch any aside from these two? If so, let us know in the comments!
