Donbrothers gets dangerously close to settling one of its outstanding plot threads; Haruka's ruined manga career and the identity of Haruka's manga "rival", the bunny-suited Shiina Naoki. After this episode I rest assured that no matter what the answers to the big questions in this show are, the answers are going to be at least as spectacularly dumb as these answers were.

This episode took me back, in a strange way, to growing up in the 80s and 90s. The 43rd episode of a show to sell toys for kids resolves a dangling plot thread from the very first episode. Meanwhile, back in my childhood, I and the rest of America was living on table scraps of continuous plot reserved exclusively for season finales and the occasional 2-parter of TNG or the like. Remember watching Trigun and just being shocked that it had a plot, and a conclusive ending. Didn't know TV was allowed to do that (and of course at the time American TV wasn't allowed to do that). I wonder what the corporate insistence on plug-and-play episodes did to my generation's attention span and media preferences?

As a millennial I also know this feeling of being shocked by persistent storylines. Stuff like Teknoman (Tekkaman Blade) and Sailor Moon on early morning syndicated TV were huge surprises after years of status quo cartoons.
