Inu x Boku SS - Episode 9
Looks like it'll be at least another episode of waiting before the "coffee date". While this episode wasn't as bland as the previous one, I'm still quite concerned about the pacing of the story and how it is probably causing many viewers to drop the show. Nonetheless, knowing that the good parts of the story have yet to come, I wait patiently. As long as there are decent amounts of Ririchiyo-sama and Karuta-chan being moe, I'll be more or less content.
The jokes in this episode were above average. Seeing as the anime is not focused on comedy, I found this to be a nice addition. Some of the gags got me laughing, particularly those mysterious hallway signs. While it was frustrating to see time pass so slowly (when will 8:00 arrive?), the episode did a good job of emphasizing, once again, how important and significant the event is to Ririchiyo. The highlight of the episode that didn't involve Ririchiyo or Karuta was when Kagerō returned. His return hopefully marks the start of the interesting parts of the story; the added amusement of "This is an 'S'" and "That is an 'M'" is definitely welcome.
This episode followed Chapter 11 of the manga but was titled differently, and had some minor changes. The title of the next episode does not seem to match with the title of a manga chapter that I have read. If it turns out to be an anime-original, Episodes 11 and 12 will probably cover Chapter 8-10. Ending at Chapter 10 seems like a good stopping point so I'll be surprised if it turns out otherwise.
