so the third episode of oreimo is titled There's No Way My Little Sister Can Be This Cute and the series title translates to basically the same thing but after the third episode kyosuke never seems to think kirino is cute ever again. what happened? is there really no way his little sister is that cute? did he give up on her cuteness? every episode after is titled something like There's No Way My Little Sister Can Do XYZ and every episode she does XYZ suggesting that there is a way his little sister can be that cute. but what's the point in that? where's the conflict? either kyosuke has accepted that his little sister can be that cute, in which case, end the series. there's nothing more to be discovered. the sky is blue, microplastics pollute my bloodstream and kirino kosaka is cute. it's just a fact we have to accept at that point. but what if there really is no way his little sister is that cute? what if it's impossible for his little sister to be as cute as he seems to try to deny she really is? in that case, i'd have to ask, why is he lying to himself? what's wrong with his little sister being that cute? why is kyosuke kosaka incapable of accepting that kirino kosaka might in fact (yes, in fact) be cute? what happens after that acceptance that he's so afraid of? is it worth lying to yourself for the rest of your life like that?

Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century.
Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something.
Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities.
Riker: Yes, sir.
