It wasn't all that boring for me honestly, but I wouldn't call it a good episode either, though I never expected much from an episode numbered 11.5.

Well, if the previous arc didn't make it clear, this episode pretty much confirms it. Houtarou's "energy-conservation" policy is just him self-handicapping. As such, it served as a defense mechanism for his fragile self-esteem. I'd say it's pretty normal for a boy of his age.
