I think I remember hearing that you don't give wedding gifts in even numbers either, because they're easy to divide (like you're suggesting the couple could get divorced). That might be some other Asian culture, though. Yup, that’s what I was hinting at.

Well, one of the words in Japanese for the number 4 is "Shi" which also means death. They don't have any superstition against the number 13 as we do in the west. For them it's 4 (and I think 9 but I'm not sure about that one). (LOL!XD So much for the evil number 13, in japan it’s 4!)

I don't see much changing in future episodes, since the anime conveys the humor of the comic very well. If people don't get that kind of humor, there's not much that can be done for them. It now seems more likely to me that the change was because director Yamamoto was cracking under the pressure of being an administrator as well as a creative person, and KyoAni gave him a way out by bringing in an experienced hand to run the ship.
