This is an absolutely wonderful point, and exactly the reason I want to hear other people's thoughts as I'm doing this. I could not have put that any better myself.

Okay, you're probably not the only one who's going to have that problem, so let me lay it down upfront. I'm aware it's nothing but "Godai" this and "Godai-kun" that from Ichijou and Sakurako, but Yuusuke will always be Yuusuke to me because:

A)It's more affectionate, and I have nothing but love for Kuuga.
B)I mentioned this show's episode titles left a huge impact on me.

As for the production history thing, I actually would've started this thread earlier if I didn't decide to go watch all the DVD/Blu-ray extras, and also sit down with a dictionary to read the show's Wikipedia page in Japanese. I'm not exactly fluent, so there's potential for me to be misinterpreting things, but any behind-the-scenes detail I mention, I'm either confident is a fact (that anecdote about how Ishida got the job was straight out of Arakawa's mouth), or will try to specify is only hearsay.

It definitely worked to get my hype levels for this project through the roof, but I'm glad to hear it's already having the intended educational benefits for everyone else, too.
