There's maybe the same theme of both being comedic characters but it's nowhere same the thing. Hibiki's had comedic episodes before and, again, they're just nothing like this. It's a completely different show and cast of characters, and I'm not convinced the writer knows what he's doing with any of them.

I guess I just don't see (beyond it being a lighter couple episodes) their volume getting turned up that high? I don't know. Feels like we're seeing these episodes very differently. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain your viewpoint, though!
