Kaito's a cool guy, but his line to Akiho about the way that her older sister must've been "trying to motivate her through tough love" annoyed me. No, you 'tard, being unnecessarily cold to someone doesn't count as 'tough love,' it's just being a bitch (and it's not though our genki, hotblooded little Aki needs anyone motivating her). Japan seems to have too much of a hard-on for that 'tough love' nonsense, or at least that's the impression I get judging by anime. "It's okay to be cold and unsupportive, even when it's totally unnecessary, so long as it ultimately results in something positive. Showing warmth and nurturing is lame anyway."
Bitching on my soapbox aside, good episode. I'm liking this show. But man, kids of 2019 sure are brats... if I was able to see a 100 foot tall robot when I was six or seven, I wouldn't have been too picky about how well it operated.
