I swear this is the most appropriate image for the excerpt.
「妹(あたし)が兄(あいつ)に恋なんてするわけない／俺の妹がこんなに可愛い／俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない。」
(Ore ga Kanojo ni Kokuhaku Nante Aru Wake ga Nai / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai.)
“Little Sisters Can’t Fall in Love With Their Older Brothers! / My Little Sister Is This Cute / My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute.”
What a brocon.
「妹(あたし)が兄(あいつ)に恋なんてするわけない」 (Imouto (atashi) ga ani (aitsu) ni koi nante suru wake nai)
“Little Sisters Can’t Fall in Love With Their Older Brothers!”
So the final episode of this “season” (though not really) was all flashbacks.
At this point, we knew where this was going.
「マジ天使すぎるあやせたんが一人暮らしの俺んちに降臨するわけがない」
(Maji Tenshisugiru Ayase-tan ga Hitorigurashi no Orenchi ni Kourin Suru Wake ga Nai)
“Total Angel Ayase-tan Can’t Descend On My Place Where I Live Alone”
What blessings does the yandere angel Ayase bring us today? What chaos does the party bring?
BOOM. FATALITY!
「一人暮らしの兄貴の部屋に妹たちが押しかけるわけがない」 (Hitori Garashi no Aniki no Heya ni Imōto-tachi ga Oshikakeru Wake ga Nai)
“Little Sisters Can’t Barge In On Their Brother Who Lives Alone”
…and thus Kyousuke’s harem free-food-and-fridge phase began.
A gentle reminder: please avoid all discussion of the final light novel volume.
Well that affection escalated quickly.
「俺の妹がウエディングドレスを着るわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto ga Uedingu Doresu o Kiru Wake ga Nai)
“My Little Sister Can’t Wear a Wedding Dress”
We’re only recovering from one breakup, yet hints of romantic affection are in the air once more! This show isn’t slowing down to avoid rebound at all!
From here on out, non-spoiler tag light novel spoilers will be treated with zero tolerance.
I don’t know about you guys, but this is what I’ve been waiting for.
「俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない！」 (Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!)
“My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute!”
Oh my, this affectionate episode is like a warm summer breeze through green hills. This arc has finally closed, thankfully on a warm and optimistic note.
This is probably better than anything I could ever draw.
「俺が後輩とひと夏の思い出を作るわけがない」 (Ore ga Kouhai to Hito Natsu no Omoide o Tsukuru Wake ga Nai)
“I Can’t Create a Summer Memory with My Underclassman”
I come back from an anime convention, and I have to write about this. WHAT!?
Must…maintain…composure….
「俺が後輩と恋人同士になるわけがない」 (Ore ga Kouhai to Koibito Doushi ni Naru Wake ga Nai)
“I Can’t Become A Couple With My Underclassman”
What else is there to say? Adorable relationships are all abound today!
The post has been updated with commentary!

「俺の妹が家に彼氏をつれてくるわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto ga Ie ni Kareshi o Tsuretekuru Wake ga Nai)
“My Little Sister Can’t Be Bringing Her Boyfriend Home”
It felt unfair to feature one heroine this episode on the excerpt, for many of them contributed to the tone of today’s episode. If there was an episode in Oreimo that everyone should look forward to, this one definitely is a leading contender.
The return everyone has been waiting for!
「俺が妹の彼氏なわけがないし、俺の妹に彼氏がいるわけがない」 (Ore ga Imouto no Kareshi na Wake ga Naishi, Ore no Imouto ni Kareshi ga Iru Wake ga Nai)
“I Can’t Be My Little Sister’s Boyfriend and My Little Sister Can’t Have a Boyfriend”
Rejoice! Rejoice! The white cat has come!
“Ready, set, chuuuu~“
「俺の妹のライバルが来日するわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto no Raibaru ga Rainichi suru Wake ga Nai)
“My Little Sister’s Rival Can’t Come to Japan”
For those who remember my excerpt last week: it still applies here. Especially here. Little sisters everywhere!
P.S. : comments have been fixed.
“Don’t you think Saori looks better without her glasses?” said no one ever.
「俺の友達が眼鏡を外すわけがない」 (Ore no Tomodachi ga Megane o Hazusu Wake ga Nai)
“My Friend Can’t Take Off Her Glasses”
One thing is now clear about almost every character in this show: you’re either an imouto, you have an imouto, or you act like an imouto. It’s the glue that links every character together, where even the most unlikely pairings can arise.
Let’s just hope the glaze of her eyes doesn’t disappear anytime soo–too late.
「信じて送り出したお兄さんが携帯美少女ゲームにドハマリしてセクハラしてくるようになるわけがない」 (Shinjite Okuridashita Onii-san ga Keitai Bishoujo Geemu ni Dohamari shite Sekuhara shite Kuru you ni Naru Wake ga Nai)
“The Onii-san I Trusted and Sent Off Can’t Get This Addicted to a Mobile Dating Sim and Commit Sexual Harrassment”
Remember kids, it’s ambiguous territory for an anime character to harass a girl by harassing a girl in a game that looks and sounds like the girl. Oreimo loves its repetition that way.
Two years, it has been two years too long! Welcome back Oreimo!
「俺の妹が再び帰ってくるわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto ga Futatabi Kaettekuru Wake ga Nai)
“My Little Sister Can’t Be Coming Back Again”
Adorable children, tsunderes everywhere, and truckloads of anime merchandise. Oh Oreimo, how I’ve missed you so! It’s only been two yea–*chop*
Look who’s back.
「俺の妹がこれで最終回なわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto ga Kore de Saishuukai na Wake ga Nai)
“There’s No Way This is The Last Time for My Sister”
After two full episodes Kirino-free, the stage was more or less set for our bratty heroine to make a return in the finale. I imagine no one in their right mind was expecting this true route to be completely devoid of Kirino’s presence, regardless of how refreshing it’s been with Sena substituting in as another younger sister with a rampant fetish.
