I also watched ep 14-16 of Oreimo today.
I really didn't like it.
It did feel like he hurt all the other girls just to have a short
relationship with Kirino.
So, I guess in the end Kyousuke ended up with nobody.

Season 2 was very disjointed compared to the first season. I didn't think
Ayase was brought into this season very well so I didn't ever feel she was
a legitimate romantic interest for Kyousuke. It felt like there were
episodes missing where she and Kyousuke would have become more familiar
with each other.

Though I would have only been happy with a Kuroneko route, the way this
ended made me dislike Kyousuke quite a bit so I don't mind if he ends up
alone.
I know that there is a Kuroneko spinoff manga. I'd like to see that
animated.

During the first season, some friends wouldn't watch it as they thought it
was a Siscon show. I told them it wasn't a Siscon show. I guess I was
wrong. Now, I'm embarrassed.

I think that Kirino and Kyousuke really did love each other. But in the
end, they weren't actually brave enough to live their lives with forbidden
love, despite Kyousuke's frequent speeches to the contrary.
