Volume 7 brings us far beyond the original television broadcast and will serve as a necessary transition into the next phase of the series. Whether to appeal to fans who are not fond of certain upcoming episodes or simply a coincidence, Volume 7 includes several notable extras such as the full length Opening Song “irony” and Stardust Witch Meruru Opening. The much coveted Animated Commentaries are of course also included with the release. Karaoke (romaji and kanji) is provided on all the songs from the episodes and extras. More information on what went on behind the scenes is presented under Info/Credits.

Notes
At times it felt like it was only one, two, or three of us working on this release, and many times that proved to be the case since it was summer. It may have been released much earlier but problems kept appearing, at times problems that could only be solved by one person. That being said, I’d like to thank Xavier for helping me out with these dilemmas, if it wasn’t for your insight I have no idea how we could have released this.
If you have any legitimate questions or concerns about our Oreimo releases feel free to contact me (MarukoM) on our IRC Channel. But please don’t waste my time by asking me gooberish questions such as “Are you working on Volume 8?”

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aha! This is what I’ve been waiting for! Glad for more episodes, sad because it will be over soon. Thanks!!
A very big thank you for this release and all your hard work. I’ve been waiting for your final releases just so I could rewatch the series again and I am enjoying it even more than the first time. Thanks again.
This is just totally awesome ^^
Cheers for this guys, I know the amount of hard work you put into these releases and I think its fair to say that we would all rather it be delayed and done right first time than it be rushed for release. We really appreciate it, keep it up ^_^
I love your complete works to give us all the material in the BD
great work! ^^d
YAY! Thanx guys! Just finished vol. 6 last week. Awesome series
Thanks for the release, I can’t wait to watch the whole thing when you release the final volume. That said, can someone tell me when the differences start with ep12 True Route (Without giving any spoilers). I haven’t watched the series at all yet but plan on watching both versions of episode 12 in my first viewing of the series.
The episodes are the same just that the last ~5-10 minutes is different, cant give much info since itll spoil most parts.
yahooooo!!! long live kira-fansub!!! long live kira-fansub!!! long live kira-fansub!!! haha
what is that Opening [Full Version]? is it like all the OP of all episodes combine together? so, will there be also Ending [Full Version]?
An ‘Ending [Full Version]‘ wouldn’t be possible, considering each episode has a different ED song. With each BD, though, the full length ED tracks are included.
Also
>Stardust Witch Meruru Opening
YES FASTER DOWNLOAD FASTER
Wouldn’t it be awesome if the next volume had an OP for Maschera ~Lament of a Fallen Beast~?
Thanks so much for this release.
am abit confus..7.vol..only 13 episode? the 11+12 episode is in 6.vol?
wasts up with all those 12 episode in the 7.vol?
vol 6 is 11 + 12 “good end” it’s the same episode as 12 “true route” but with a different ending (good one) that stop the anime here.
vol 07 is 12 “true route” + 13, and follow the real plot from the light novels (hence the true route) and will be followed by volume 08 (last one) with episode 14 & 15 that will finish the anime with this true route. These four episodes (12 “true route”, 13, 14, 15) were not part of the TV releases and were released only as webcast (online videos)
Once again, fixing the naming conventions manually…**sigh**

took from the last 3 torrents, don’t understand your comment since naming is consistent. The naming on the XDCC differ a bit but that’s on purpose, because it’s the archive.
this..now i understand
12_True_Route_(BD_1920x1080_h264_AAC)_[56840320].mkv
[Kira-Fansub]_Ore_no_Imouto_-_13_(BD_1920x1080_h264_AAC)_[DCA5CCAF].mkv
gotta watch that now
Thank you very much for this release!
Can you upload the subtitle seperately? I just want the sub…….
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+extract+subtitles+from+mkv
It’d be easier to download a file less than a megabyte than to extract it from a large file download.
What happened to vol. 5 & 6?
Thanks.
You guys are the best
when will you release bd volume 8?
when it’s released in BD, end of july then 1 or 2 weeks after that.
Good Guys! Thank You!!
hey… there’s a problem when i play your 720p Episode 12 True Route & 13 Animated Commentary… the video lagged and flash black screen for many times… any idea ???
Wonder if they are capturing in the new HI 10p? Or encoding.
HI10p is newer codec, and shrinks and maked the file look better.
Takes away the banding.
10p is snake oil, it’s not needed if the source isn’t in 10bit depth already.
You have no idea what you’re talking about. Preventing banding is a huge factor in increased filesize. Hi10p reduces banding when compressing. I’m not sure about filesize with identical encoding settings, but apparently it’s smaller anyway.
Yeah thanks mooksie, i encodes BD daily and i know perfectly how to deal with banding, don’t try patronizing me, the fact that Hi10p is useless with 8bit source is true in most situations, there is some advantages because the WHOLE processing is 10bit, filesize are smaller because of the more accurate QP calculation and also because to store perfectly color gradient coming from a 8bit source you need a little more than 8bit (more near of 9bit), so that why 10bit encoding allow for better gradient handling and reduce banding effect, and improve compression because he gradient is more smooth, but it’s FAR from being perfect since most source aren’t, most NEED debanding because there is banding in the source so 10p doesn’t help here, of course for unfiltered good source it’s not bad, but it’s still too early to use it in production anyway, because most decoder doesn’t support it fully, and the encoding process is slow & inefficient because brand new and still in heavy devellopement. Moreover when you begin to use filters like denoising, the 10p become completly useless @ keeping the gradient, you’ll still need to add some artificial graining to avoid banding even @ 10p and you’ll lose all the saved up space you gain with 10p, you’ll still gain space with the better QP calculation given by Hi10, but it’s again TOO early to use, maybe in 4-6months yeah, but for now i prefer relying on technology used for years, and still improving on it. So go read some technicals papers, and do real encodes & look @ many BD source and come to me with facts not ideas you grabbed around on some forums. I don’t follow fads…
but i just updated codecs and MPC-HC to the latest few days ago… and only the 2 Animated Commentary are like that… i wonder why…
Video played fine using MPC with CCCP. Dunno.
ya me too… but… what settings do you use/change?
No problem here too, the encode settings are the same as always.
yeah, maybe its because of the settings of your mpc, sometimes, try saving/backup your settings at codec tweak tool first( you can find it at start menu>all programs>k-lite codec pack>codec tweak tool>all options) then try resetting all the settings(also found in codec tweak tool)
well, sometimes that happens to me when i install a newer version of mpc, if that also didnt work, try finding your problems at google
hope that help^^,
can anyone tell me a good way to hardsub these. I want to watch it on my mobile phone which doesn’t support softsubs. I tried MeGUI with bad result. The audio doesn’t sync.
Thanks
Thank you so much for this new volume! As a curious note, that youtube video made laugh. At first glance, I thought they were inside a train, with Kyosuke looking towards kirino plus the lyrics “Try to hold back these conflicting feelings” = Chikan?
@chris
Why don’t you try staxrip?
Hey Kira! Thanks for the release!! Any new on eps. 14 & 15? Are going to be released on blueray? Also are you going to sub em up if they are? Any info would be awesome! I have been holding off on other groups for better quality (WHICH YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!).
Thanks again!
Last volume isn’t released before July 27th and we’ll need time to sub it so don’t expect them before 3 weeks.
dont wanna sound like a pussy, but I am scared to watch the true ending since I do not wanna see bad endings in general… Is this really a bad ending or is it something minor that happens at the end?
True end doesn’t mean bad end
, just that it follow the light novels, and it’s not really the end since the anime cover only 5 volumes on the 8 already out and it’s not finished !
@Boz Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to Kira’s release! Much love!
Thanks very much for the releases! Is it possible that you will release the FLAC audio for the full OP and Meruru OP, thanks?
it’s not on the planning sorry.
2011-07-27 (Japanese DVD 8: Special 03-04)
Oh, droolage. Finally (actually day before yesterday) the 8th vol is out. I hope to see them Kira’d soon. Else I will drain of all moisture due to combination of ptyalism and summer heat… in more both meanings of the word.
Give meh moar Kuroneko!
We’re awaiting the BD, will work on it then. Be patient
Yo thanks so much for subbing the OreImo BD’s. I really appreciate how you guys include all the extras, with translations where needed. It’s been a blast watching the audio commentaries. The full OP and Meruru OP in this most recent release are great, too.
I’m posting because of just some small details I noticed while I was going through the episodes.
On episode 3, the chapter for the start of the episode preview is slightly off. Same with episodes 4 and 5.
on episode 6, the chapter for the start of B part is off. It should be at around 12:54, but instead it’s at 14:03.
On a side note, to Boz, I think what Karry might have been talking about is how episodes 1-6, if you downloaded them from the torrents, were named like this:
[Kira-Fansub]_Ore no Imouto_Episode 01_(BD 1280×720 h264 AAC) [A434101B].mkv
7-8 like this:
[Kira-Fansub]_Ore_no_Imouto_Episode_07_(BD_1280x720_h264_AAC)_[7AAA545B].mkv
And then 9 up to now like this:
[Kira-Fansub]_Ore_no_Imouto_-_09_(BD_1280x720_h264_AAC)_[F88A120F].mkv
The other files have similar naming inconsistencies. No huge, deal, though. They’re easily renamed.
What I do wonder about, though, are the decisions made when reanimating some scenes in the DVD/BD release, because some of them seem rather questionable. Like this scene from episode 11:
http://i52.tinypic.com/2rp2mfd.jpg
Kind of strange to bother changing the sign, okay, but not that big a deal… Except that they only changed it in that scene. Immediately following you have shots like these:
http://i52.tinypic.com/28vyrtl.jpg
http://i52.tinypic.com/2unyfyh.jpg
where in they don’t change the sign to keep it consistent. It makes me wonder why they bothered to change it in the first place.
Well anyway, thanks again for subbing this great series. I’m looking forward to more releases by you guys!
There is some errors on different level, we will fix them in the final v2 batch when we’ll have time to do it. And yeah some remake of some scenes are questionable but it’s still love
This pleases me

vol 8 have “several notable extras” like this ?
and when will be available?
when it’s ready
Ah, the Duke Nukem Forever style of date setting, nice. But will it have awesome extras in addition to the commentaries?
i can’t give a more precise answers everyone ultra busy we’re doing our best to release stuff, we’re progressing on many fronts, some volumes should get out soon for our main projects
Hey, I understand, I mean, nobody has a right to complain, you’re doing this stuff for free. Although I’ll admit the wait is killing me, It’s not like you can magically pop it out right away.
We don’t like making people wait too much, but sometimes can’t be helped, oreimo vol08 should be out in a few days, there is quite a few projects that are advancing well.
Guess I should give a status update to at least provide some sort of relief
Animated Commentaries: TL Done, Timing Done, Awaiting TLC + Editing
Episodes: Timing Halfway Done (Have to add Karaoke for the new ED songs), Editing Halfway Done, Typesetting Not Yet Started
At the same time I’m preoccupied with other projects such as Denpa. My apologies for the extended delay.
P.S.: Ruri’s long bloody dialogues in Episode 14 are giving me a headache
I just realized, that today would have been a funny date for the release of bd vol 8. because today is the 8.8.
So Vol 8 on the 8.8. ^^
that would have been funny, but sadly we need more days to be able to release it
Main reason i’m so excited is this was one of my favorites last year, one of the few shows I followed as it was released (usually I watch one or two episodes, then ignore a show until it’s finished). I’m looking forward to watch the first 11 again, followed by the True Route episodes. Plus the extras are great (I LOVE that full length video for Irony)
Hmm. The video on YouTube has been taken down
How long does the Last Vol made?
How long do we still need to wait of Vol.08?
As long as needed, and no need to post 2 times, we hope in a few days.
Animated Commentaries: TL Done, Timing Done, TLC 50% Done, Editing 50% Done
Episodes: Timing Done, K-Timing Done, Editing 50% Done, Typesetting 50% Done.
While it’s taking a good while, this is turning out to be the best volume release of Oreimo to date in terms of quality.
dang this is taking forever. im guessing we could expect this in very late august or early september. anyways, so what extras are there, besides the animated commentaries?
Hey guys! How is Volume 8 looking for August? Super excited for your quality release! Just biting my fingernails waiting ever so patiently, thought I’d make a post to see the status!
Keep up the good work!
Tyvm!
Is there a reason nobody has answered if there’ll be extras like in Vol. 7 besides the animated commentary? It’s been asked a few times already.
Thanks for your hard work
Because this has been answered already…. u just have to learn to read and look 3 comments above yours, the one maruko created, i think, if i’am not mistaken that he’s talking about the progress of oreimo vol 08, and… WOAH the content is mentionned, if nothing else is listed that mean there isn’t something else… There is also the usual NCED/NCOP, but if there was some bonus, we’ll have them listed in the progress since they would require TL
Not necessarily, since extras could be the series’ ost’s or things like that. Until it’s stated that there aren’t any more extras there’s no reason for us to assume there aren’t..
Also, there’s no reason to blow up like that, I’m not even hurrying the release and I only asked because I found it amusing (and was kinda curious). But then, it can be left alone as it probably counts as an standard greeting from an standard Internet citizen.
Well i have enough answering 30times a day to the same question, especially these ones that can be answered with a google search in 2min.
Anyway to answer, there isn’t any “out of the ordinary” bonus, the usual AC, ncop/nced, and the ED music.
Darn, I was hoping there’s be something else like the Meruru OP. Oh well, animated commentaries and the episodes themselves are enough for me. Looking forward to the release, first chance I get I’m gonna sit down and watch every episode, except for the TV version of 12, in a row.
is this series will be batched…
Yes, but when we’ll have the time to do a v2.
Hello, its been 2 months since the release of volume 7. May i ask whats the status of volume 8 right now?
You may, it’s for soon but no eta yet, we’re working our ass off to make it the best oreimo volume we ever released.
Really appreciate the work you guys are doing! Looking forwards to Volume. 8!
Thank you!
Forgive me for being unknoweledgable about this show, but what is to like about Ore Imouto?
If you have to ask, you’ll never understand
Watch it and you will find out. It’s a show about fandom and being true to yourself, and two siblings being reconciled after slowly slipping apart for many years.
The title is intentionally misleading.
BoZ = Boss lol
Btw BoZ, how’s the translation for Vol. 8 atm??
We’re @ the Qcing stage, we wanted something excellent to close this excellent serie so it’s taking a huge amount of time to complete the volume we want to be the best of them all.
Just so you know: I scream at my computer for around 30 seconds when I check the page every morning before going to school, and when I return home. I love you a lot when I calm down afterwards though, reminding myself that you are only trying to do the best release possible.
I’m currently attending a Japanese language school here in Akihabara, so hopefully I’ll be able to help you translate season 2, if they ever make it
While the waiting sucks, it sounds like the work you’re putting into it will make it worth it.
Well that’s what we’re hoping for
, oh and for S2 i have no doubts they’ll do one, oreimo is super popular in japan, i’am betting for next spring
YEAHHHH BABY!#@@#$
I hope so, but I don’t think they have enough novels out yet. Maybe by the time 12 comes out…
I’d never even thought of a second season for this show (then again, I’ve only seen the TV version episodes so far). Would it be more likely to follow the true route stuff? Since the TV ending was pretty good as an actual ending, I mean.
If a second season does come, it will definitely follow the true route, since that is the closest to what actually happened in the novels.
This is why i betted on next spring, that should be right for LN11/12 to be out, since S1 covered only 5 volumes, that should be quite enough
and yeah ofc it will follow true route since it’s the real story from the novels.
The game’s getting a sequel, so the anime MUST have one too.
)
I want to watch the animated commentary, and I know survival Japanese, but there would be some words that I’d miss… If I download ANE’s version, will you upload your script so I could just mux them?
why don’t you watch our anime commentary ? they’re subbed.
Where are they???
i DO watch them. I’m just waiting for the last two, which (by the looks of the videos on niconico) have Kyousuke saying which part of Kirino is cute. MUST SEE in full.
Well then wait for our release
You are evil, evil man.
This site is now my sixth most opened website in Firefox, right below gmail….
I know, i know, it’s a gift ^.^
I just wanted to ask if the icing is finished soon, because I’m already dying of sugar deficiency. ^_^
Soon !
Yeah.
We hear that often.
soon
… 2-3 month…
soon (again)
… another few month…
soon
… … … … RIP
You just go ahead and sub it in your spare time then
Yeah go right ahead and buy yourself the BDs if you’re not happy. And… learn to count too, it’s has been only a little more than a month since the raws were released.
Everything is already done for the most part. I’m just patiently going over a QC report and fixing some errors before sending it off for final QC.
I guess I can let you have a lick by posting a screenshot
http://i.imgur.com/DTLNq.jpg
This screenshot looks nice :3
Sorry guys, I didn’t want to start of any flaming here or so, but I visited the site every day for over a month now and looked for oreimo vol 8. I just couldn’t wait anymore and feelt like posting something.
I really didn’t want to annoy you.
Gomenasai !
Every morning I get up, check my email, check the webcomics I read, and check the news sites I go to. For over a month, this site has fallen between email and webcomics. Although, for about half that time, it was for this AND Onii-chan.
they were flaming the other guy so don’t worry.
I’ve also meant to post many times at least asking for a status report over the past 2 weeks, lol. At least it seems the wait is finally coming to an end.
I’m so gonna enjoy my kuroneko fix :3
