Last ep (i.e. ep 4) when Houtarou was in the bathroom trying to come up with a plausible pattern to all the info he pulls a lock of hair hangin over his forehead, frowns and looks focused. When he did that I thought "where have I seen this?" ... and just this morning I realized that I saw it in Toradora. Takasu used to do the same thing in ep 1 and the OP I believe.

That aside, I actually kinda like Houtarou. I get the feeling he really is a good guy down deep, but has simply been unable to find anything to CARE about. I have a feeling the novels and the anime will be a chronicle of him slowly changing because he found something he cares about - i.e. Chitanda - and from her begins to be able to appreciate other things as well.
