Overall a good episode, not as good as the first three, but still a tier above everything else this season.

Funny the difference a bit more nose and lips makes:

Direction was not just different this episode, it also had a lot of action implied, on the background and even off-camera
I hope that they don't stick with this style, being explicit and graphical does not only help the less attentive viewers, but mainly gives an opportunity for some great artwork filled with intense emotion... that is if the the director and animators are skillful enough
This episode's style was more befitting to a Ghibli anime for the whole family

Indeed, but I can not shake the feeling that a lot more happened in the source material... not just some neck licking
Maybe when the cast becomes 26, the studio will not indulge in this annoying self-censorship, pandering immature viewers.

Denying one's natural needs is never a good thing, builds up anxiety, and is a sure path to psychotic outbursts... add to that her lame cockblocking line about being watched
