Line 8 ⟶ 9:
That "absolute necessity" came the day Kyousuke picks up a DVD case Kirino dropped—specifically, one of [[Magical Girl]] anime ''Stardust Witch Meruru''. This surprises him, but not as much as what was actually in the case—an [[H-game]] titled ''Imouto to Koishiyo!'' (''Let's Love Little Sister!''). This sets off a chain of events that leads to the Kousaka siblings' first actual conversation in years, with Kyousuke learning that Kirino is a [[Closet Geek|closet Otaku]]—a 'little sister' fangirl, to be exact—and getting dragged into increasingly hilarious situations, most being started in some way by his sister.

The 12 episode series can be viewed legally at Crunchyroll under the name ''Oreimo'' [http://www.crunchyroll.com/oreimo here.]
A second season has been [https://web.archive.org/web/20130819113800/http://theakiba.com/oreimo-second-season-announced/ green lit].
----
{{tropelist|There's no way this anime can be this [[Troperiffic]]!}}
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Poor Kyousuke ends up on the receiving end of this a lot, especially from Kirino and Ayase.▼
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Possibly invoked with the character of ''Kurusu'' Kanako, voiced by [[Yukari Tamura|Tamura Yukari]], who also voiced ''Kurusu'' Tomari in ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]''.
** Then in episode 10 she gets [[
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: In episode 8 {{spoiler|when Kirino's light novel is given an anime adaptation, the producers initially planned on doing this to it}}. See also [[Fridge Brilliance]] on this page.
** The episode itself was actually a [[Irony|case]] of major [[Adaptation Decay]], possibly due to [[Executive Meddling]]. To give an idea how much, it was originally about {{spoiler|plagiarism with Iori Fate Setsuna as a failed, [[Generation Xerox|adult version]] of Kuroneko}}. Was the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|new script]] the [[Reality Subtext|staff's apology]] to the audience? Them [[Writer Revolt|taking the]] [[Straw Man Has a Point|opportunity]] to [[Take That|jab at]] the source material? Nobody is [[Lost Aesop|sure]], but there are plenty of [[Wild Mass Guessing|guesses]].
Line 60:
* [[Color Failure]]: Makabe is so shocked at Sena's dream {{spoiler|where she dreamt that he was raped by the entire game research club}}, that he does this. It must've been severe, because a few scenes later, he's still completely white and unresponsive.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: For some reason, Kyousuke's drinking of tea in some episodes of the anime are [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|rendered with what's clearly cel-shaded 3D instead of regular animation.]] Every [[Eyecatch]] is a CG Anime DVD box that reveals a different Eroge DVD inside in reference to the incident that kicked off the show, Siscalypse game clips are shown in 3D, and the PSP game's Two Shot scenes are done with real time cel-shaded animation instead of the normal sprites.
* [[Cosplay]]: This overlaps with [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]. In the PSP [[Visual Novel]], there's a rather risque-looking minigame version of [[Arkanoid]] where you basically knock off the girls' clothes as you progress. They start off cosplaying as appropriate [[
* [[Credits Running Sequence]]: Kirino has a brief one in the opening title.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Kirino has one on both sides of her mouth, and they appear sporadically, depending on the perspective or where she's facing.
Line 74:
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: In several episodes a screen can be seen playing [[Show Within a Show|an anime]] in the background, and yes, the studio animated clips for each and every one of them, as equally full and detailed as ''Oreimo''!
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Kuroneko lashes out at Kyousuke when he seems to try too hard to help her.
▲* [[
* [[DVD Commentary]]: Which takes the form of hilarious fourth wall breaking banter between two characters, see [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] above.
* [[Eating Lunch Alone]]: Kuroneko does this at least once after she transfers to Kyousuke's school.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
*** The official subtitled version on Crunchyroll makes the same mistake, though at least it helps non-Japanese-savvy American viewers get the joke.
* [[Expy]]: Kyousuke's narration style is strongly reminiscent of [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Kyon's]], without the erudite asides.
** That, or (at least in the anime) ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'''s Okazaki, what with the whole constant sarcasm, genuinely trying to help people and having the same seiyuu.
** During episode 14, as Kyosuke play tests Kuroneko's video game, one can spot a character on the computer screen that bears a suspicious resemblance to Kyosuke.
* [[Evolving Credits]]—The opening is not shown every episode - only [[Limited Animation|when they didn't have enough animation to take its place]]. The opening is different each time it's shown, highlighting the characters featured in the episode. So are the endings. [[Credits Jukebox|They are completely different each time]], and sometimes, they even start over the body of the episode whenever they're too short, or the episode gets too long.
Line 140 ⟶ 141:
** This happens in the manga ''a lot'', as evidenced [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c001/7.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c001/20.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c001/32.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c002/3.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c002/7.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c002/9.html here], [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c002/17.html here], and... you know what, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/my_little_sister_can_t_be_this_cute/v01/c002/28.html fuck it]. For reference, ''THESE ARE THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS''.
* [[Manly Tears]] -- {{spoiler|Episode 11, when Kirino finally at LONG last thanks Kyousuke for giving her a life, he breaks down and finally feels love for her as a sister, rather than someone he hated and helped out of familial obligation.}} In the (non-canon) [[Visual Novel]], he breaks down a few times while struggling with Kirino's [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] in her route.
** Not to mention the absolutely [[
* [[Master of the Mixed Message]]: Kyousuke in the light novels.
* [[Meganekko]]: Manami
Line 187 ⟶ 188:
** In the PSP game's Manami route, Kyousuke's friend Akagi is also one for the aforementioned pairing, and pulls a [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone]] at the start of their class' school trip.
** {{spoiler|In the last two volumes of the light novel, Saori has joined the Kuroneko camp, while Manami roots for Ayase and Sena roots for Kirino.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[
* [[Secretly Wealthy]]: {{spoiler|Saori.}}
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Besides several fictional eroge, and the TV show ''[[Magical Girl|Stardust Witch Meruru]]'', there are also several real eroge that Kirino owns.
Line 215 ⟶ 216:
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: To his bewilderment, Kyousuke somehow manages to get one in the later novels.
** He also gets a harem party in episode 11, eliciting some odd looks from the receptionist.
* [[Visual Novel]]: The PSP game is one of these, complete with a route for each girl and [[Multiple Endings]]. The route plot details are mostly on the [[
* [[Wham! Line]]: In the manga, {{spoiler|"I'M...DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH MY SISTERRRRRR!!"}}, only because the chapter ends on a [[Cliff Hanger]].
* [[What If]]: The aptly named "If" routes of the [[Visual Novel]]. Among others:
