Sexism and fanservice against women (and men) in anime is one of my biggest problems with the genre. And the portrayal of girls in this show was just sexist to the point I felt bad for watching it. Tamakis lucky lure was just annoying and degrading the girl to pure fanservice. There was just everything wrong with it. Then Makis thing was to be shallow about her looks ("who are you calling a gorilla cyclops?") and Iris only job was to blush and waiting to be saved by others. Bohooo.
The main character Shinra just kept repeating himself, saying that he wants to be a hero and save others - and while that seems to be a common shonen main character thing, in this anime it just fell very flat.
And the story with his brother? It failed to have any dimension and couldn't make me feel any emotion except boredom.
That's about it.
I watched the show to the end, cause apparently my taste levels have reached a low point, but I don't really recommend you to do the same.
The sexism was the worst part of it.
