I admit the hardcore action fan in me was itching to get out, but this episode was necessary. Otherwise it would've been rushed and contrived & sell Chizu short.

Waku and Kokopelli only had 1 ep each. Ep 3 technically was not Masaru's storyline (Maki was listed first in the credits), so he only had 1 ep. This somewhat mirrors the manga as the first three only had 2 chapters. Starting with the kid after Masaru (who I will not name since the anime changed the order), they had 3 chapters, then with Chizu, each kid had 4 chapters, and now with the two most recent kids, they have 5 chapters. That obviously won't happen in the anime. We still don't know how many episodes there will be, whether it's 24-26 or 30+, but if it's 24-26, i'm expecting some of the kids to only have 1 episode stories.

I haven't seen The Third, but PopoloCrois 2003 episode 7 is pretty much my definitive example of the phenomenon you're describing. It's very, very obvious that that episode was drawn and animated by a "B group", as there are some very notable stylistic differences there that obviously were not intended (especially in the eyes, and in the characters' movements). -Tom Ah, OK, I think I know what you mean.

Kokopelli on the other hand... well I guess he was wearing a full bodysuit so we really can't be sure. But yeah, the marks are a new thing for the anime.

It's the difference in animation style I meant, the current episode really reminded me to those "artsy" episodes in NHK ni Youkoso. I don't think that these episode were a deliberate choice, though. It's just that different animation-teams worked on them. I'm not sure if you've seen the series "The Third", but it's the perfect example to illustrate this, when most of its episodes show excellent animation, only for two episodes to just look horrible.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out that the same animation-teams from NHK ni Youkoso worked on this anime." I've seen all of NHK, and never once noticed animation that seemed unintentionally bad. Every time the animation slipped into something "low-quality," it came across as a wholly deliberate stylistic choice, and overall, I thought the show was really animated quite well. I also got the impression from the first episode of Bokura no that it was going to be a superbly-animated show throughout (though the episode itself was kind of a disappointment, and it'll take me a while before I'm willing to give this show a second shot... Narutaru it ain't, at least not initially!). Just kinda curious, as that comment seemed to come out of nowhere, and is never really explained... -Tom I’m kind of curious what you mean by this comment:

From what looks like, they're going to change the focus from the abuse (manga) to a jealousy story.

'sides, if you look at how kako died, it's a bit more coherent with the "new chizu", who is quite a bit more relaxed than the one in the manga, so in the anime it was more of an accidental death. Kako's death in the manga was so much more dramatic, btw, it's quite bad how the anime adaptation turned out..... but i guess the manga version was a bit too intense for the anime format. the next characters should be more manageable, thou'..... i doubt episode 8 will feature the “abuse” part of the storyline.

I wonder if they will come up with some reason for it, or if they just added it because they thought it would be cool. I havent watched the episode yet, but I get the feeling that they didnt do as good a job as the manga did. The way they move things around seems to change the impact the manga had (in the manga she doesnt go back with the teacher, and she doesnt find out about her sister dating him till a later point The whole mark thing was something they added in the anime, it wasnt in the manga.
