The animation quality seemed a little low this time around, and when you consider how dreadful it usually is in the first place, you can bet it showed. Oh well. With this show, it's the story that counts.

Now that everyone is in one place and things are moving along, the show feels like it's hitting its stride. Admittedly, I'm a little put off by the addition of a "villain", so to speak, in Asumi's physics instructor, but there's obviously some backstory there that hasn't been fully revealed yet. For now, though, his character looks very out of place.
