Personally, this is why I avoid thinking too much about "tropes" and "cliche" plot points. Sooner or later, everything we've viewed will become either one. In my opinion, thinking about all of those just limits my enjoyment of an anime series unless the plot is really, really bad. Still, I can understand what you're saying and I do agree. What I did love was Grace's cynical attitude in this episode, it had me thinking, "I wonder what she's up to now?"

just my 2 cents
Actually, I think he's doing a pretty good job at picking up on the details. I watched all the episodes in 2 days in my first run through and I overlooked a couple of things, so it just depends on the person watching.
