Doesn't Abigail step out of the shower in episode 1?
Or was the emphasis on dumb and I'm just "it" for not noticing?

It's a shame, considering the effort put in to the look of it all. The characters are very pretty drawings, I was even thinking "Blimey, those are some cute old ladies".
My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Season 3 - Having to keep track of all the names, relationships, subtle emotional changes... this is bloody tiring to watch.
Didn't until you pointed it out Do people even watch OPs nowadays? I remember a day when openings actually opened the episode...

With a show I always watch the OP, and watch the ED at least once and I'll rewatch it if the songs a banger(Fire Force Season 2 has a great ED and the Angel Beats! ED was always cool to watch to see how it changed). But yea, I like the OP starting the show and the ED ending the show, seems like we don't see it too much anymore. Man, sometimes an OP will happen like 8 minutes after the start of the episode! I'm towards the end of a Dragon Ball Super watch and the show starts with the Toei logo, the intro, the OP, and the last episode recap, so after about 15 minutes we get to the actual episode

Everything leans so heavily in a romantic direction and when I thought Violet was in her early 20s at the start it felt like a promising central hook for the series but when I learned she was 14 at the start of the show - and several years younger when she met and worked with Gilbert - every scene with him that was heavily coded as a romance felt gross.

Give me more softly lit "totally not gay" women friendships and that one dude going the extra distance in high heeled boots.
