Affectionately dubbed Oreimo, this two-season anime shows the story of a common protagonist who discovers that his sister is an Otaku addicted to erotic games by younger sisters. Despite the theme, the anime is light without the appealing use of ecchi.
This anime portrays the true nature of a Otaku in Japan, their daily lives, their friendships and how society views these people in a pejorative way. The anime also addresses the novel in a comical way with several characters.
The mood of the anime has made it become a highlight on my list of favorite anime. A true romantic comedy that I recommend to everyone, but don't expect any exciting ending, as it breaks clichés.
