I don't think of any of that really matters. There's nothing particularly interesting about having questions answered. None of that really impacts on why I watched the series.
Lol, no. This actually happens in the episode.
The goal of the anime is for the non-blood related sister fall in love with her new step-brother so an angel can go to heaven. But the girl has a chastity belt that fills up with love juice every time she has love emotions and feelings towards the brother.
The ghost loves her step-brother and takes over the living imouto's body to get intimate with him while the living imouto is super tsun for him, but will eventually start coming around near the end of the series.
It's my junk food of the season.
Gonna do some re-rankings as we speak.

Really?TV Anime Glasslip. P.A. Works - Summer 2014. http://glasslip.jp/
After Uchoten Kazoku, I don't think they'll ever make anything that good.
I saw lots of people liking Nagi after ep 13(though i don't)

Well I was asking those questions because I wanted to know answers.
Why did you watch the series? The fights?
The whole "it was in the title" line rests on hindsight and the events of season 2 that run contrary to the dynamic established in season 1. It's basically people making a dismissive guess then going back and saying, "SEE? I TOLD YOU SO."
AOTY
If it was hindsight then why were some of us saying it before the series ended?

Most of those people were saying that a few episodes into season 2. The ones who were saying it even before that didn't even watch the show.

I think after Samurai Flamenco I have to listen to GAF more.
What are some of the best comedy ones.

Comedy anime? Go watch Azumanga Daioh and Daily Lives of High School Boys.
Well it is right there on the cover...

I know... my fault for thinking that the show wouldn't do that but I forgot I was watching anime.

That actually happened?
Ahahaha I should watch this sometime.
Funny enough I actually enjoy the wincest theme to a certain degree but there's a veryyyyy thin line between creepy and laughing it off.

I watched one episode of Oriemo, then never watched it again because I thought it just wasn't for me. Reading the spoilers makes me glad I dropped it.

The title was there since day 1 so if you were basing your predictions on that alone there is no hindsight needed. Of course that they were proven right is something that happens after the fact duh
I think his point was that other than the name, there was no real evidence in season 1 content of the series ending as it did. And names are not usually the best of criteria to pass judgement on things. Judging books from their

Oreimo would have been amazing if he'd ended with his friend's sister and his sister ended up dating his friend.
The truth is, judging books by their cover is accurate more than 90% of the time.
Haibane Renmei is K-ON with angels instead of band members.

The Season 1 OVAs were kinda good.
I believed from the beginning that it would end up either ambiguous or he would be with his sister. Thats the only way it could end.
I chose Kuroneko as my Oreimo waifu early on and stuck with her so it didnt matter if she won or not. Shes my favorite.
Ok, so that's one exception, i could bring up many other examples that aren't.

It might be the ClariS OP talking but I enjoyed Oreimo S1.
That's not judging a book by its cover, that's judging it by way of weird anime analogies. Abe's art really doesn't look anything like Horiguchi's, anyway.

It's a fun action adventure series with fairly likeable characters. The greater story isn't particularly bad or particularly good, it's just kinda there. You could just tell those kinds of stories forever.
Sorry I cannot abide by this
I guess by this measure Angel Beats beats both of them, since it's Haibane Renmei with angels and band members.
Wait what were we talking about again? @.@

Well... I put the show off for a long time because of the title, but started watching it and then I thought it was actually pretty funny and not something like ImoCho.
Thought S2 was mostly fine too. I didn't mind that it turned into a harem since it was still funny.
And then I watched the S2 OVAs...

I'm going to write a research paper on anime, and I was wondering if you guys know any good resources or documentaries I should check out?

You're going to have to be a tad more specific, as there's quite a bit of content out there.
Why anime is an art form.

I disagree. It was quite enjoyable. I thought it was nice to see the brother starting to get along with his sister.
It does seem like a timeless series.
Try seeing if your local library has any works by Susan Napier or Jonathan Clements, some of the best english-language authors on the subject.

Mushishi - 26 END
I've already spoken my praises of the sound direction, the atmosphere, and the handling of some really great material, but I'm so glad that this was able to keep up such a high quality throughout. I love how it was capable of deftly switching between showcasing the sinister, creepier sides of the mushi and keeping to its more hopeful, accepting stance of humans and mushi co-existing. Even when it re-uses certain ideas, it still manages to create a new spin on them that's always interesting, or at best, thought-provoking. Hiroshi Nagahama is quickly becoming one of my favorite directors working today. Incredible show.
I can't believe we're getting more of this in less than a month.

Well I know what I'm watching when I hit <30 currently watching anime.
Start by reading this book.
It's actually a phd thesis itself, and should give you some good reading.
Also, resources on anime much less translated are scattered, I can help you to find something specific though.
