The narrator is the second best part behind Kaguya's hilarious hypocrisy

Haha, I love the bit with the president falsetto voicing the girls and just giving up on the third using his almost normal voice.

The thing I love most about this show so far is that despite trying to sell themselves as mind-gaming elitists, they're both ultimately hormone-addled adolescents blundering their way through their feelings for each other.
Yeah, that should be obvious by now so I can post this author Q&A:

I also had to go back to see that they actually did include a yeti for a few frames.

Whoa, so they did!

It's apparently handdrawn animation via rotoscope over CG. That's just nuts.

Lucky I never watched that anime. Rotoscoping makes me think of classic Disney animated movies and a couple of dancing scenes in Macross Frontier.

Keep in mind a number of the staff on Kaguya-sama is from Shaft. If you're seeing some of Shaft's style, there's good reason for that.

Director Mamoru Hatakeyama:

They are adding some unique flair to the anime, all the explicit Western imagery in the twenty ten questions sequence was a new addition. And superb.

The anime team is really doing this as a labor of love. That Chika dance came out of nowhere and floored all of us manga readers for instance but it still wasn't created out of whole cloth and references a couple of chapters (perhaps ones they'll have to cut). Anime-only watchers will have fun reading the manga later to link up references in the anime.

I can't believe that wasn't even rotoscoped.

Nakayama is a god and should get all of the funds.

It was rotoscoped. But not in the traditional method which is why it looks great like Disney rotoscoping instead of crappy anime rotoscoping.

I'd say watch the anime to the end and then read from beginning. Kaguya-sama gets nicer with each reread because the mangaka seems to do a lot of preplanning.
