It's an episode that isn't visually striking, but narratively it touches on several themes. I personally really appreciate that it addresses the theme of gender identity and the conflict of not fitting into a certain gender stereotype. At first, I was worried it would be taken as a joke, but the light tone is actually to prevent the issues presented from feeling too heavy. It's also interesting that the older characters are very open to Kabuki being inclusive and flexible, which isn't common. Sometimes a lot of information is thrown at you at once, and this anime certainly sends you straight to Wikipedia... but what's wrong with that?
