| Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai portable |
For twelve episodes, the controversial but irresistible anime TV series, Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai, or Oreimo for short (日本名：俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない) leaves otakus craving for the super-cute little sister of Kyosuke, named Kirino Kousaka. As they know, most of them love Kirino but it's not just her cuteness but also her voice that is similar from K-ON's Azusa Nakano. Most of the Oreimo fans love Kirino but some prefer Kuroneko, whose full name is Ruri Goko.
No wonder this anime ended in a 12-episode basis after facing several controversies, including the episode 2 problem at Anime News Network. I guess this is somewhat problematic for this show but in partial terms of endearment; the PSP video game of Oreimo is now here and bring the misfits of Kirino and the gang wherever you go in Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake Ga Nai Portable!
This game is somewhat similar to Toradora Portable but with some tweaks to keep Oreimo fans craving on what's next. Well, actually, Oreimo Portable is a dating sim game which leaves players a few choices to deal with, affecting how the story goes and the characters progress. Features of the game that made me hard to understand include the O.I.U. system, Real Time Tsukkomi System, "if route", and ORE (Order Record Effect) System.
With the game-play seems to be more stressing, Oreimo Portable is quite possibly as irresistible as Kirino Kousaka and Kuroneko!
Who cares? There's no way this PSP game is dull but fun to play...
