The one in episode 10 made me want to see more. Sure it's a bit corny, but the mutual sniping/softening up is quite lovely to see. :D

I actually like 20-ish episodes, had very good experiences with them. But I STILL can't see this plot wrapping up in time...if they do a Mai-Hime, someone's office shall go up in flames.

Taniguchi doesn't do second seasons?
