Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that Tama experiences an entire 1990s science fiction anime series in the background of this episode? This blockbuster space opera is only afforded about a minute and a half of total of screen time, and what we do see is presented entirely without context. God, that was funny.
I admit it though, they swerved me:
Everyone in this show has great comic delivery, but Chiwa Saito is on a completely different level.
