Yeah, he is interesting at least. But unfortunately still falls in the 'useless harem male' category when all's said and done. Especially in this show, they hammer that point with almost totally nonsensical dramatic tropes to do so. Media outrage, him changing jobs, agencies, etc. Constant switching of girlfriends/goddesses and that's just masking his character trope.

It's a shame, because all the unnecessary drama (looking back, almost none of the major drama arcs really had much of a point than just show what a total bystander Touya is) and the girls are simply lost on him.

Other than all that though, the anime IS pretty beautifully made and it's a triumph as far as the animation and production value goes.

Though storyline wise, I just am left wondering what the point of it all was. Especially when they tidy up the ending this much, what was the point about all the drama? It just makes the drama look silly, looking back. Though the interesting thing is, it's almost like they're saying that Touya is like some mental-case with his amnesia issues and being traumatized and all. Well, I guess they just HAD to use some of the most generic soap opera tropes after all, especially for such a soapy show like this one.
