Anime!Naotsugu isn't as good as LN!Naotsugu. Anime!Naotsugu is almost wholly there either to say "You can do it" or "Panties! (kicked)". LN!Naotsugu gets both of them, but he also has some pretty good lines, such as the one in volume 2 after Shoryuu asks him about levels. He still says the panties line, but his little speech after that, which was actually serious, was good. He and Maryelle are both like that; while they can be humorous and less serious, they shine when there's a need. It just so happens that almost all of Naotsugu's best lines in S1 got cut out, making him somewhat bland.

As for Naotsugu's relationship with Mari and Tet, I think he just said Mari won because of her chest because he didn't know Tet well enough to really judge her by anything else, and because making off-color jokes is his thing. Shiroe often muses that Naotsugu had an off-color remark for just about any situation, and that was probably one of them. He also stated that Naotsugu likes talking about panties and the like, but he's all just talk. When faced with a situation where a girl actually acts on his perverted talk, he instantly shies away (which is why he reacts in similar ways to Mari and Tet; both of them are outgoing and aren't shy about their femininity).

EXP Pots were mentioned in volume 8, so you might've read it on AnimeSuki. I'm pretty sure they weren't in volume 7.

The only person as crazy as Kanami is Indicus, but she's a completely different kind of crazy, and not in a good way.
