Wut. So the only joke in this episode that made me laugh is when that guy fell and his blood was coming out.

That episode was strange, but the end card was hot.

Is it just me or have they changed the art style?

Not just you, the art style is completely different.
I don't know if:
-they've changed it for good
or
-they're trying to parody something that has a similar art style (if they are, then I don't know what that would be)

Lol, well, Dorothy took care of things herself in not the way I would have expected. Pretty good protector she has around though.

That bit at then means that there might actually be a background story at some point? Such seriousness!

I want to see the real Nii-san.

So, the plushie is actually a giant, anthropomorphic lion?

I still have no clue what I'm watching and what it's even about.

Is it just me or did the art/animation style completely change in ep.2-4 from episode 1? And Miwa looks like a totally different person. I like the series but it was just bothering me.

Also Why is the artwork changing? The character designs look totally different from what's shown on the cover, Especially the blonde woman.

I think they're just experimenting with art style. Other anime sometimes do it too for single episodes (like Gurren Lagann, Shin Sekai Yori or even the latter episodes of Sparrow's Hotel, just to name a few off the top of my head). In case of TTGL and SSY, I know it's because of the episodes were being done by a well-known guest director; for SH and Strange+, I don't know (though I imagine it's something similar). Why they do this at all, I don't know either.

My guess is that they decided to go with a different art style this mini-arc just for the hell of it, maybe to make this anime even weirder or more random, so they might return to the old style next episode or feature yet another different one.

LOL at the ending. Miwa is so fine in that end card.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
