Well golly gee cut off my balls and call me a Eunuch, I strangely enjoyed this pilot episode more than I did Mitsudomoe!

I think what immediately makes the show stand out from the crowd of other shows that rely on more crass and perverted humor is the execution of the subject matter. Most other shows tend to drag on the sex jokes and exaggerate on them, which in turn makes most lowbrow humor of this nature eventually tasteless. For this series they don't seem to actually do this. Most of the sexual references are more used in passing and in more subtle tones, generally speaking they don't extend the life of the sexual nature of the humor beyond what could be considered appropriate. Stuff like the pads vs. tampons, shortgirl's 2nd day menses and the life are used just long enough to be funny but short enough not to make your eyes roll back.

I also really like Shino's character. The nature of the humor coming from her really depends on 3 things, either:

1. She completely understands the inner workings of the male mind.
2. She doesn't understand a damn thing about the male mind.
3. Both!

Case in point: Gravure video.
