Why she's my fav:
Kirino is a model, a track-star, and the most popular student in her class, but in her down time she's the same kind of degenerate otaku her friends make fun of. Now I'm not exactly living the perfect model life like Kirino, but I can totally relate to having to hide your interests from your friends. My otaku-ness is something I'm keeping strictly online, since I know my IRL friends would judge me. Aside from how I relate to her though, Kirino is just a really likeable and realistic character. She's kinda cold and rude at the start of the story, but she has her reasons for it. When I first watched Oreimo, I wasn't actually expecting to like it (due to the show's bad reputation). Because of Kirino though, I watched both seasons and enjoyed it a lot. Also, just on a character design (and or moe) level, she's super adorable. I actually tried to style my layers like hers back when my hair was dark blonde like hers, but it didn't look as good in real life... Moving on, she's also a total fashion icon. Her outfits are never not cute. Anyway, she's my #1 favorite character in like anything ever. How CAN she be this cute???
