To me the highlight was Kodaka explaining why he does not dye his hair.
His hair marks him as a delinquent, a brand of shame, and a mark of ostracism that prevents Kodaka from making the friends he should so easily have.
Yet Kodaka will not dye it, for Kodaka is a man who loves his mama!!
Somehow, cheesy and cliche as it was, that scene just managed to hit me. Probably because Kodaka is so mellow and even keeled the rest of the time that whenever he makes a strong statement it comes off as very sincere.
