Alright, this episode wasn’t as annoying in its transitions as last episode, but they still felt disruptive. There were some that the scene would cut away to a spinning face transition only to come right back to the same scene. It just breaks up the flow of things and feels out of place. I get that this is adapting a 4-koma, but you don’t need to intrusively mark the transition between pages like that, just string them along into a cohesive plot. It has been done before well (Tomo-chan and Bocchi the Rock are both 4-komas), but it feels jarring here.

In any case, Grind seems like a nice guy. I wish him the best of luck in his endeavors to stay the hell away from Alyssa and avoid Viola’s wrath. Ganbare Grind!
