I agree that they did push things quite a bit, but I still think that could be due to a lot of time constraints. For other shows that push the melodrama envelope a bit too much at times, ef does that at times too.

Maybe it would have been better if some of the earlier filler episodes concentrated on the building tension to make it more believable.

Other than the incredibly insensitive vice principal and principal, it was crazy how many people around Shuri/Shusuke are so mentally unhinged at the same time.

It's a shame, because with better pacing and even marginally better writing, this show could have become a masterpiece. It's still one of the shows to watch IMO though. I think this show wedged into the melodrama section ever since Darth Nanaka entered the picture.
