Whoah... talk about surprising.

Spoiler:

After episode 1, I'd have never thought that the show would get SO dark and dramatic in parts. The first half of episode 3 had some pretty harsh drama elements, and also some (purposely ugly) violence. I'd have thought it would be all-speed-craziness comedy, but not so, it clearly alternates.

That notwithstanding, there's always enough comedy to lighten the mood again. Hyouka took the cake this episode - having him fess up to Kyouka right before the Himemiya mansion blew up, and the subsequent Kyouka rampage had me literally laughing tears

On the downside, this episode's animation was very uneven in some parts, which looked like the results of some kindergarteners. I'm a little bit shocked at that and hope that this won't become the norm.

What I find remarkable: I've come to like every single character in the family. Which is very unusual for me. And I suspect that Chika will be a very enjoyable addition
