11:01 I think he most likely meant it as an intrusive thought rather than actual intent.

Well, thank goodness I don't have perfect eyebrows otherwise people would think I'm crossdressing. Not that there's anything wrong with crossdressing, but that has to be one of the weirdest jumps I've ever heard someone make. And maybe him offering to do their laundry also played a part, but to have perfect eyebrows as a factor is just wild to me.
Then again I've had something similar happen to me where for a short period of time people thought I swung a certain way, because of a jacket I was wearing. So I got rid of the jacket. But really? A jacket?

If some of you still got questions about why saki try to sleep with yuuta I found this explanation and I know is long
(1) Saki is not that brilliant by nature, needs to put all her energy into her studies and wants to earn maximum money in minimum time
(2) Half-hearted advice of ' depending on others'
(3) She understood the existence of Yuuta's sexual desire
(4) The option of high paying part-time job = prostitution, was always in her mind
(5) She subconsciously "hoped" that even if Yuuta caused a "thing", it would not lead to a decisive breakdown of the relationship and that he would calmly build up the relationship in the future.
The above was roughly input into Saki's mind, and as a result of the logic that was built up in her mind, it led to that act.
(1) It is expressed in the fact that she does not participate in PE classes and listens to English material on her way to school without fail. She honestly thinks Yuuta is great because he balances his studies and part-time job because she is still lacking and has excellent grades, and she believes that he must be excellent to begin with.
(2) Saki does not yet understand the concept of relying on someone for free. Hence, she believes that even if she receives money from her family, she has to offer something. On top of that, as Yuuta was gradually showing her how she could rely on him like a 'big brother', Saki was also gradually becoming unknowingly spoilt like a 'little sister', and the option of 'relying on Yuuta' came to mind. However, she couldn't interpret "relying on him" as "relying on him gratis", and she thought that she had to give him something.
(3) The thought in (2) above and 'recognising the existence of Yuuta's sexual desire' meshed fatally. If Yuuta has sexual interest in Saki, it can be said that this living together life will be something that he will be forced to endure, and an awkward moment may come one day. If that is the case, then she thought that if they were to form such a relationship with each other, the awkwardness would only be temporary, Yuuta would be able to resolve his desires, and she would only have to spend an hour or so in the house and get the money that Yuuta would earn from working for hours - the value of what they provide would be balanced. In the original novel, Yuuta says things like "If you say that, then I want to be paid for the food", but Saki did not realise that it was something for which she could only receive money. More precisely, Saki could not handle the guilt of accepting Yuuta's time-earned money without going so far. Cooking is not difficult or painful for her. She felt that she had to dedicate something that involves difficulty and suffering to be balanced. This is also because Yuuta "wasn't a bad person". This is where the meaning of what she said last time, that she would have felt more comfortable if Yuuta had been a bad person, rests. If he had been someone who didn't have to feel guilty about skimming off the family's finances, she could have told him to do nothing and ask them to pay the full cost of going to university. But you can't say that to two members of the Asamura family - or at least that's what Saki thinks.
(4) The option of 'high-paying job = prostitution' was always in Saki's mind. However, Saki is indeed not thinking only in terms of money efficiency. She understands that there are risks involved, so she is carefully considering whether she should take that risk and decide that she should not take the risk yet. But if she had succeeded in doing this to Yuuta, she would probably have gone on to prostitute herself to other people. She will get used to it, and one day she will definitely realise that the amount of money is still not enough from just one person. It means that sometimes, after thinking things over and making a calm, rational decision, you can end up doing something that is "generally not recommended". However, Yuuta's clear rejection here has eliminated the future of her going down that path.
(5) This is the part where Saki has unknowingly become misaligned. She has unknowingly held the expectation that Yuuta, who sees her in a flat way, would understand everything and approve of Saki's actions. There is another thing that Saki "expected" from Yuuta. She hoped that he would not try to break up the family and that he would keep it a secret from her parents. Yuuta cares for his father, Taichi. He is very depressed after his ex-wife's betrayal and sees him as desperate. He is often appalled at his father's lack of self-confidence, his tallness and the way he looks down his nose, but he is relieved to see his father's happy face, including these aspects, and he does not want to ruin that time. As for Akiko, she has probably been through a lot to get to where she is now, but seeing her happy and smiling face, she thinks that this environment must be wonderful for both of them. And Yuuta anticipated that Saki would be thinking the same thing. (This 'expectation' is, in other words, an 'expectation', so Yuuta himself will reflect on the fact that he had 'expected' without reconciling the two.) However, if Yuuta and Saki were to have an impure relationship of domestic prostitution, if that were to become known to their parents, their happy faces would surely be clouded. It is an act that could lead to the break-up of the family. The reason why Saki initiated it despite the fact that it was an act that could lead to the collapse of the current family was because she 'hoped' that Yuuta would behave in a way that would prevent that from happening, but 'being controlled by expectations' was what Yuuta disliked the most. This is the point where Yuuta condemned Saki's behaviour by saying 'that's the type of person I hate the most'.
Both Yuuta and Saki misunderstood each other a little bit. Saki thinks Yuuta would be fine with this. This slight 'assumption' led to a fatal discrepancy. So they decided to talk a bit more about their roots, and then they went on to talk about each other's separated parents.

I see what they were going for with this show. It's got a really nice heavy atmosphere and very serious tone. Although we probably can already assume where this is going, it's the character's complexities, and how they're dealing with their own inherent flaws, that really draw me into this show. They had every opportunity to give us fanservice, but they never did (at least as of this episode) because doing that will devalue the whole point of the series. The closest we probably got to "fanservice", if you can even call it that, is showing the sister's underwear hanging on the clothes rack. Even the scene, where she was trying to come on to her brother, was devoid of any fanservice, and only focused on exploring their individual feelings and thought process that led to that exact moment.
I'm pretty sure that, if this series is going the way I think it's going, there's bound to be a "payoff" for all of the fanservice fake-outs we've been seeing so far. At least from the tone they set as the premise, it looks like they're going the more serious route instead of just full on anime incest tropes.

I was wondering how they were going to implement Ayase's diary. Making it a flashback on an old school film reel was a really cool choice, and really explains why they did the ED the way they did.

I’m kinda the opposite, I just really like the vibe it has going on
And the directing this episode was really my style
But I get you though it’s very off feeling sometimes
