The new character introduced in this episode also feels like another addition to a long list of characters that are too loud and caricatured. The anime's hyper-focus on sitcom-style comedy centered around otaku stereotypes makes its main plot development—the struggle against military oppression—feel like an insignificant background with zero urgency. If the anime doesn't move away from this character-introduction formula in the next episode, the entire series will feel incredibly monotonous.
