They deal with some relatively serious issues compared to the comedic parts, and some of the meat of the show is teaching Maico about the ways of the world. The late night radio host angle sounds interesting. I can't say I'd thought of that, but I can see where you're coming from. I think I'll have to read some of the manga. I've been hearing it's better than the anime as well. Yeah, I think Maico’s development was one of the more successful aspects of the show.

I think I’ll have to read some of the manga. I’ve been hearing it’s better than the anime as well.

The manga is supposed to be a little better but I haven't read it so I don't know how much. I did like how the show conveyed how lonely late-night radio can feel (I was a late night/early morning DJ for a number of months) and Maico's AI improvement so far has been kind of interesting so I guess I'll press on and watch the rest. Good thing each episode is only 15 minutes long.
