Continually the only real takeaway from this show is that cloverworks is a good studio that puts money into stuff to make it pretty and hires competent people.

I'm not gonna say either one really wins on the writing department, I guess I like Kaoru more simply because at worst it's just really boring whereas I found Otonari offensively bad at times, but as far as adaptations go Kaoru is a significantly better show. It's different adapting from a book vs adapting from a manga but still, Kaoru tells it's story visually and has pretty good animation and direction. 90% of Otonari was just on that fucking couch in the most bland angles possible.
