Bakatest 2
I will finish the last couple of episodes anyway, however.
Mwahaha, have fun with the worst ending this side of Mayo Chiki then because Baka Test's got it.

Well, first, she beats him up every morning in order to wake him up. That isn't exactly normal.
Yadda, yadda, this is a stupid anime, everyone has an idiotic character trait and this crappy physical comedy shit seems to be high on the list of anime-usable-centric character traits to bestow on people. Also, it's almost the opposite of the anime-usable-centric character trait that shows romantic interests which usually amounts to copious amounts of blushing followed by immediately withdrawing ending in the general avoidance of any further physical contact. As you can see she doesn't exhibit that shitty trope. Of course they might actually not use one of the tropes which would be amazing restraint for something so poorly written and by the numbers but as you can see, using anime logic in its purest form she doesn't want to bone her brother.

Second, we know she has trauma because of their parents' deaths from when he got sick and she completely lost it.
Well before I begin I should correct you, they only lost their father, their mother is still very much alive and seemingly traveling the world competing in wrestling matches or something stupid. Moving on it should be stated that sure there's undoubtedly some trauma there, as would be normal, it does not necessarily have to manifest with her wanting her brother's dick. We can presume she didn't want her father's dick and so even if she has now made him take her father's place after his death we should assume that there's no dickings involved nor wanted.

And third, yes, that birthday episode. She seriously got depressed when he didn't get her a present, much more so than would be normal...
Was it? For all intents and purposes he is the only family member she has, the mother out and about doing what the fuck ever doesn't really count if she can't be bothered to show up for birthdays, school enrollment and shit like that, so would her reaction not be in line for someone who's essentially entire family forgot her birthday?

No, she clearly has strong feelings for him, of some kind. So far the show hasn't shown them to be romantic, so far only familial, but given the genre I can't be sure it'll stay that way, if the series continues / in the source material I mean.
Well of course she has strong feelings for him, they're like the only family she has, probably the closest thing she has to a father figure and has probably been raising her more or less alone for the last couple of years, and reading anything further into that for no reason but because it's anime, which honestly does always leave open the possibility of incest, is stupid. Honestly, she might be jealous if he starts spending more time with someone else, maybe she doesn't want him taken away but that's only because she has no one else and it doesn't make clear what feelings she has for him.
Oh also, if you're going to watch these shows that have the possibility of this shit why the fuck not
? Why are you still faulting it for what could happen versus this shit?

Hurrdurr-Pinguindrum is very straightforward in direction and technique. It's nothing like Bakamono. Hurrdurr is pretty damn entertaining too, I don't give a shit about Ikuhara's dick and I can still enjoy it purely at the level of entertainment without trying to read a bunch of metaphorical nonsense into it.
Err, so was Bakemonogatari, it was actually a hell of a lot more straight forward actually. At this point three or four arcs had already been completed for Christ's sake.
So, I don't really see where any of this "metaphorical nonsense" of yours comes from. Granted, Bake doesn't need to be read that deep because shit is both happening and getting resolved, but I don't even see what the hell there is to enjoy about MPD without trying to read between the lines because well up to episode 7 essentially nothing had been resolved, so unless you like Ikuhara's dick what is there to like about MPD?
