I didn't see him acting different in any way to what you call his "ecchi harem", unless you're somehow trying to blame the bath scenes on him (in which case, WTF). He is still presented as a strong and responsible character. See how he takes action immediately when Urutori runs away with the baby. Even though he knows it will hurt her, he knows what he has to do.

Karura has always been one for mischief. What she does when Eruruw walks in on her and Hakuoro is again just to tease Eruruw. Seems perfectly in character to me.

Touka has a serious side and a clumsy side. She also has a weak spot for things that are cute (see her reaction to Gachatara in the series itself). She doesn't get a lot of screentime in this episode, so only the latter traits are shown. I didn't notice anything different about her.

I hate to break it to you, but Eruruw is a tsundere character, even in the main series (not that this makes her any less lovable). She is as much inclined to act on her angriness as she is to sulk. She seemed perfectly in character to me.

Well, you'll have to explain better than that, because again Aruruw seemed perfectly in character to me.

Stop giving that as an excuse. I love the cast just as much and I don't see any of the character degradation that you are so worked up about.

I'm won't deny that it could have been better, but the fact that the OVA takes place in mid-series explains a lot of the things you didn't seem to understand (i.e. why certain characters were alive).

Glad we are in agreement on this point. Fan service has its place in Utawareru Mono, but not to this extent, and definitely not at the sacrifice of good plot.
