the first episode was absolutely a great start and i saw the (unlimited) potential of this show, but the humor & hype hasn't been exactly the same since then. and no, i don't just mean because it was on hiatus. episode 4 was a literal fanfiction. not to repeat jokes but...as someone else said, fanservice: unlimited.
character development is good! but did we need a whole episode of fluff just for daisuke to learn a few basic living tips?
i'm not complaining, because i still like where this show can head given time. the pacing is just a bit weird, there's not really much of an established plot for the long run yet. the tension isn't continuous. haru and daisuke's discontent with each other? resolved to the point in which they can hang out and be chill. any leading mysteries besides how exactly suzue is related to daisuke? nah. shine for the other coworkers including the glorious kamei??? no.
OBVIOUSLY we have plenty of time for this, and honestly in the next episode i expect to see the full cast again ready for action. it's just that it's weird, the first episode set such a high standard for at least me personally. episode 2 served its purpose introducing suzue & showing inner conflict (still a bit iffy but i did like it!). and episode 3 i also liked because the humor came back & the conflict was more personal. haru flashbacks were appreciated. (haru in general is appreciated ok.)
i should mention that even beyond what we know, there are already theories in my head & hopes for the future... maybe last episode is to majorly subvert expectations. this show is pretty unpredictable so hopefully that works in its favor.
-updated:-
so we have a plot. the pacing still isn't my favorite and the conflicts still don't hold much weight imo. something about it all feels dull.
