Although I didn't like the change in art style I do have to say it fit this episode better. The mood was darker, less uplifting, and I think it was good, but I hope they return back to the old artstyle. Anyways, I REALLY liked this episode. Best one so far.

Since it's a series about an otaku with a cute wife the stereotype would be that he's really lucky to have gotten together with her so having her be deeply bored and lonely before she met him is kind of interesting.

This episode has puzzled me a bit, not only for what concerns the history, but also for what concerns the style of the design, really different from what seen so far; by chance did I miss something? Dunno!
However, the underlying message is loud and makes you think a lot, here is the real strength of this episode. :D

Nice to see the change in Kaoru's life from her past days to the present where she has found a measure of balance and satisfaction in her relationship with Hajime. I enjoyed the change in art style this ep.

The artstyle is certainly different from normal but it's not bad. Kaoru was such a mess back then but her world literally came upside down once she found the man of her dreams.

Every episode manages ta make me tear up a little in this time of despair I'm facing :') I have to say that their sleeping positions were cute and the piano ED was beautiful.

Good to see that her life took a turn for the better.

Yeah the art style was different from the others episodes; and even if I rather the previous design, a little change of director/drawing style sometime is nice and refreshing for an anime ^^

According to this thread, a man named Itsuki Imazaki did all storyboard, mise-en-scene, directing, key animation, everything. Literally one-man episode creator.

Just a little shocked on the change but the original art style was back on the next episode.

Huge change of tone but still a nice episode nonetheless. I'm curious about the art change though...I wonder if it'll stay like that.

This episode got me to tears for reasons I can't fully explain, something just really struck a nerve. That from an anime that mostly takes the piss and jokes around.

This was by far the best episode yet tbh, Itsuki Imazaki has a rather distinct flair and the direction was pretty good.

You also have Ai Mai Mi and Magical Girl Somera-chan by him which straight out looked like he really singlehandedly did all of it
