Why is Shizuka Itou always the best sister?

Impressions:

Eh, I was hoping that this episode would be a little better since we wouldn’t have any of Inami, Kyouko, or Yachiyo. Instead, we got next to no Poplar and as much… or maybe more… Inami than usual. Damn Inami. Really truly damn that fun vampire, sucking all fun out of everything that she touches. Takanashi’s sisters were okay I guess. Drunken Kozue Shizuka Itou obviously steals the show, but it’s hard to ignore her rubbing her face up against Takanashi’s crotch while begging him for something to drink. I think that may have been the plot to one of Kanokon’s episodes. As for the rest of his sisters… eh. Kazue’s pretty lame, but Izumi and Nazuna are okay I guess. They need to tease or harass Takanashi more, or at least do something. Nazuna was almost there with her not-really-all-that-evil scheming towards Kozue, but that was literally her only scene.

I was expecting them to do a bit more with the whole "dressing Takanashi up like a girl" routine too, especially given… well… Inami. How they’ve reached episode 6 without attempting the cliche of sticking Takanashi in a dress to help her get over her fear of him is beyond me. The protagonist in drag cliche is practically requisite for any comedy show. Instead he has a claw. Don’t get me wrong, I like the claw. I think it may even have a more interesting personality than Inami. Or maybe I just like it because he keeps pointing it at her and menacing her with it.
