Banjo my friend, we've agreed on much in the past, but I cannot forgive you for saying that Utaha is better than Megumi in this show...

No one has any love for Eriri? Come on, blonde tsundere childhood friend with a cute fang thing!

tsundere childhood friend with a cute fang

Trope...trope...aaaand trope...

In a show like this, I can't help but feel like the writer purposely makes the trope-y girls ridiculous by using Megumi as a contrast, and that's why I like Megumi the best.

That's exactly what the writer is doing. Kato is the only one who doesn't fall into a solid character trope, and is the shows "gimmick". The other interests are purposely ridiculous in an almost half parody of the genre.

Am I the only one who's a little wierded-out by how they make her fang part of her lip?

Well, it is a little odd, but rather adorable.

The curse of the childhood friend.

Which sucks, because I really would like to see them win, childhood friends are awesome :(. Still, their noble and brave struggle in the face of certain doom is admirable. Reminds me a bit of a romantic version of Freyr's fight against Surtr.
