<p>I've seen other anime where opening sequences are placed much later in the episode, sometimes as far as halfway through. Rarely endings begin a bit early, with a short (cliffhanger) scene following. In Minami-ke Okaeri endings are placed a good third of the episode away from the actual end, acting like a scene breaker. What's up with that? Why such odd timing?</p>

What's with the timing of the OP and ED in Minami-ke?
