About as a vibrant as a set of used markers. We of the Animation Revelation are a rare breed, as in we utterly despise any show adapted from the visual novels of a studio by the simple name of Key. Sure, they have pretty good animation and some decent, if diabetes-inducing, music, but we can’t just comprehend the cries of “BEST ANIME EVA!” when seeing reviews or discussions about Kanon, Air, or Clannad. While others may see them as emotionally…

You know, Oreimo (or “Ore no Imo-to ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai” or “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute” for you people who like stupidly long names that invoke disturbing imagery) is really easy to like or hate depending on your tastes in anime. While watching this anime, the only thing I could think of was how it could easily cross the line into either quirky awesomeness or into the usual moe awfulness. The weird part is…
