The latest ep (ep. 7, I believe) is something of a time slip episode, and it was my favorite so far. I think about 6 months passes. What strikes me the most about it is the fact that it addresses head-on issues of maturing (puberty) and sexual preference without ever being exploitative: a refreshing change of pace. And I have gotten to know and sympathize with several of the characters. An interesting aside: each episode has a title in Japanese and a title in English, and they are not the same. I think the show must be done on a very low budget because the OS and ES animation is just pathetic, and the show itself is very limited in movement. But I enjoy the pastel look it has.
