Im guessing a dullahan's brain is just capable of dealing with how disorienting it must be to be able to move about with your point of view being locked somewhere else like that.

Your life is like playing an old resident evil game, all the time.

I think a normal human brain would be just fine.

Between this kind of thing and the ability of people to project themselves just fine onto a third person video game avatar (you are afraid when a monster with a chainsaw starts chasing the character and you respond by making the character run or shoot) I don't think it would be much of a problem at all.

Well, they aren't a race in any sense of the term, which is one of the interesting things about this show. As people have mentioned, it's much more like people with rare disabilities. Hikari for example is basically just a person who requires unusual dietary supplements and is sensitive to sunlight. It's closer to being, I dunno, albino than to having a different race.

Actually, the whole thing reminds me of a short story manga I read recently, which was about a mother struggling to raise a child with WWS (Werewolf Syndrome).

Oh, that's the manga with the super sad Mermaid story.

Since I apparently wasn't that clear, I don't really consider this much of a harem manga; I consider it to be in the general genre of "cute girls doing cute things (but let's not kid ourselves this is aimed at an almost entirely male audience)". Moreso than the Dullahan and Succubus teacher being interested in the doctor guy (which doesn't really bug me to be honest), it's the way it seems to highlight the whole "girls in puberty being insecure/immature" angle in a context that is obviously not actually aimed at girls/women. Again, I don't think this sort of thing is terrible (and as mentioned before it has some degree of plausible deniability), but I just can't shake the feeling that "women/girls being insecure" is supposed to be appealing in a "moe" way or something.

The only reason I wrote any words about this in the first place is that I had this vague sense of misgiving and was trying to figure out where it was coming from. Stuff with more "explicit" fanservice like Keijo doesn't really bother me much at all (I think partly because the source of the fan-service is physical and involves older characters, as opposed to the youth/immaturity itself being the draw).

Gay, straight or otherwise, touching muscles feels good, and who doesn't want to feel good? This show is really cute though, I'm impressed.

That manga's from the artist of Dungeon Meshi, she's really good at blending fantastic and mundane and sometimes the really loving surreal. I really recommend everything on Batoto that's by her.

In today's episode, Takahashi-sensei's common sense puts up a valiant fight, but is ultimately left beaten and broken by his professional curiosity.

Also, Sakie-sensei is one of us. For the opposite reason, but still.

This episode delivered so much awesome hilarious moments.

Was Hikari lying when saying she sucked a persons blood once or twice? In a "Yeah I'm totally not a virgin! (Totally is)" sort of way?

Honestly, using a web browser (for most situations) or word processor full screen on a widescreen setup is a waste and a pain to read, unless you've got a setup that lets you turn your monitor vertical. There's nothing in that shot overlapping the word processor anyways, just what looks like a couple file browser windows on the side.

I don't think so. She's got a pretty close relationship with her sister, who lets her basically teeth on her arm, so I wouldn't be surprised if her sister's shared her blood once.

I'm mostly joshing as I just like picking out these sorts of details in anime, I think it says a lot about the animators and lets me think about it.

Like Asuna's mom using Slack in SAO II was pretty rad.

I'm partly "blind", or rather, it kinda hurts to squint, so I have everything super large and zoomed in; so I kinda physically can't use that sort of setup that Takahashi uses.

One of Satou's students tells her she has a crush on a teacher, and Satou tells her to try new clothes or hairstyle to get him to notice her.

I think Satou might not be a good teacher.

From the manga: it's implied, but never specifically mentioned, that she bit her sister some time in the past and seems to regret having done it.

Also, when she reacted with "Twice?!" I think she meant Ironman-sensei used the word "sexual" twice in one sentence, not that she bit someone twice.
