We might have watched a different anime. There was nothing seamless about the character development. Rather it hit you over the head with melodrama so hard that you forget how the character was before. It feels extremely deliberate and heavy handed in its development and presentation.

I think we did because I have no trouble remembering how the character was before.  In fact, I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.  They're still the same character.

Deliberate in development and presentation?  Well, yeah, probably.  Of course, that goes for pretty much every anime out there, so ... yeah.  

Deliberate as in very obvious and with no subtlety at all. That's what I meant with manipulative. There is nothing natural about the character development. They just get slapped over the head with the most convenient drama they can find and BAAAM, suddenly the character is a bit different. The drama just feels tacked on. They should've just made it as a pure comedy because execution is what they excel in.
