I think that Nise is under heavy pressure as Nise preceed the legendary Bake...
So i guess it has a high standard.
Well, i enjoy Bake for the interaction of its characters, not for the storyline.
As far as episode 8, i still enjoy Nise. But i do admit, Nise is not as good as Bake.
As for Shinbo, he do a perfect job on both Bake and Nise.
I doubt that other director can direct that tooth brush scene as creative as Shinbo~san.
