The further I watched this season, the more boring it got... Comedy is still there, but the repetitiveness kills it quite much. Still not bad, and made me laugh, but not that often.

This anime is..unique.
Each episode deals with different events, problems, and dilemma around us.
You might want to watch each episode more than twice to get the whole picture.
