Hey, awesome. I'm with you on all these criticisms. Let's see how it plays out with the next episode. What I really just wanted to try to hint at is that there is a similarly deep dynamic between the main characters of Class de 2-banme as there is with Gals Cant't Be Kind, and it would be a huge shame if the anime fails to show it.

It's kind of crazy how derivative the first episode looked like, but it made me realize how hard it is to properly translate the little tiny bits in the manga that make it work work. It is really subtle in delivering the overall cozy feel. It makes me think of Fujichika Koume's manga, actually, especially Tonari no Onee-san ga Suki, which was ultra hyper duper subtle, and to a lesser degree Suki na Ko ga Megane wo Wasureta (the adaptation of which was handled ok-ish by Go Hands even if there were super odd moments in the animation at times).

That's also making me feel really hyped about Gals - they got the personalities suuuper right out of the box even if I had some tiny nitpicks about the style.
