That makes a lot more sense opposed to what I thought they were responding to, I guess what I really meant is spend less time on the parts of the episode that are just explaining the background information. It seemed at some parts with Inoue they took 10 seconds to display one expression. To me that just means either the writers want to over-do some expressions or the artist are trying to take more time on a single movement then drawing more into the episode.

I am not sure if any of that really made sense, but it was an episode I could have done without.
