#OreImo ep8: god I love Kuroneko, she came up huge! I love the ep for the dead honesty @ the end. #anime 

I liked how this episode kept from going with what I thought was going to be a pattern. I don't doubt that Kirino isn't a very good writer. The concept itself doesn't make much sense to me, but that wasn't glossed over at all. This turned out to be very honest in the end. Too bad "the princess" wasn't there to hear all of this. Some important questions were brought up as well.

Why does Kyousuke go through all this crap for Kirino? What are his motivations? He's vagueand gives a pretty weak, incomplete answer. But it's a start. The show is addressing the issues it knows we have with it. I hope this can be capitalized on; Kuroneko is this show's fresh air. I'm starting to think of her as this show's Ami Kawashima. Not because she's amazingly hot, but because she's the shows pipeway to the audience. It's mouthpiece at times. Mocking the very absurdity of the show and the situations she's in without outright putting it down. I agreed almost to the letter with what she said during that meeting. Kyousuke's honesty helped as well. Everyone knows that Kirino needs to be knocked down a peg. But the point is that this isn't the place to do it. Put personal grudges aside and do the best job possible.

An excellent episode in my opinion. 5/5
