I actually fell asleep not once but three times while trying to watch this episode. I think the adaptation has lost its appeal for me. I'm disappointed with the way the whole thing feels all over the place. In addition to this, they keep adding new situations which are neither funny nor interesting. I've lost any interest to watch the next episode except that I'm kind of interested to see how they handle Takemoto's journey later on in the story. I guess I'm hoping that there'll be some fantastic Japan outdoor scenery to see. Storyline-wise, though, I'm worried what might be in store. On the other hand, this episode made me realized that I do lose my interest in something quite easily. It's hard not to feel this way though, especially since this is an adaptation of my favorite series. Unfortunately, this situation is true for most manga/anime to live-action adaptation. I think the only exception to this is Nodame Cantabile live-action, which was closer to the spirit of the manga and is superior to the anime adaptation.
