Yeah, it was a fun little episode. Although Uchida was just putting in words the notions we already thought about, the Cat was a hilarious addition. 8)
Also, this episode was the first one I've seen a character reading manga in (apart from anime about otakus, like Comic Party or Genshiken or Otaku no Video, as they don't count). 8)
But the ending was pretty dramatic...
Next episode seems to be the big brotherly battle I've been waiting for.
