The tour of the apartment is anime original and very much appreciated. I don't think we've seen any of the Forger's rooms in the manga. Which may not be a big deal, but it's a nice detail to have.

We've had a look at Anya's room in the manga, but can't think if we've seen Loid or Yor's.

Turns out the show is pretty popular in Japan with the first two episodes averaging almost 7 million viewers.

The manga is a Shonen Jump megahit, so that's not particularly surprising, but still nice.

Seems like it has a lot of legs as a family comedy in a way most Jump hits don't.

I know it almost certainly was added in the translation of the original manga I read, but Anya saying "My father is a spy... spychiatrist" was so good and I'm a little bummed the subs didn't keep it.

It does? And then the interviewer says "that's a difficult word to pronounce" while Loid looks horrified in the background.

Loid and Yor both switching in to angry parent mode is so good. Loid telling himself to calm down without realising he is already starting to punch that guy is great.

Crunchyroll's subs modified it a bit, but it's the same joke overall

Fun fact, the obsession with elegance this episode by our presumably Eastern Bloc upper crusts is not inaccurate! At least in Russia even during the Soviet era there's quite the obsession among many Russians about kulturny-ness. Things that seem kulturny, were quite desirable/fashionable. Which makes sense as it basically literally means cultured; as one famous example, Khrushchev really liked his bowler hat and described it as kulturny. A popular culture example would be the various Russian/Soviet characters in Harry Turtledove's World War series who flip out every fancy foreign (or handsome) things as kulturny.

Jokes like that are very difficult to voice without making the obvious timing allowances, something you get for free with written word between panels.

I loved the joke of the stampede turning out not to be an escalation of the school's insane tests but an actual accident.

Kind of an obvious observation, but most if not all the characters have fairly natural hair colors, with Anya, a literal psychic, having pink hair. Also, to a lesser degree, Yor, a hitwoman, having a greenish tint to her hair, but also one of the women in the second episode sort of has blueish hair, so that may be a stretch.

This show owns, I was sold on it the instant the main character put the ring pin of the grenade on Yor’s finger to propose to her. This last episode was perfectly ELEGANT.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
It's popped up in a few scene-setting captions and newspapers before, but I believe it's the first time they say it out loud.
