What's more, even though it's not like I completely hate teenager leads in anime, but seeing one that is a father and family man is quite a refreshing change. I don't mind all the product placement, if you think about it it really makes sense after all, compare with sports teams now it feels like a logical extension. The characters is also nice, great job introducing all of them in one episode with glimpses of their characteristics and powers.
That said, while I understand why he doesn't want to reveal his secret identity, I'm always in the opinion that close family and friends should know. His wife already knows, so I wonder why he won't tell it to his daughter? Maybe he's afraid she's too young and can accidentally blab it to her friends? I just feel that it seems like next episode he's going to miss her recital for saving the world, and it's really too much of a cliche by now.
Also, I wonder where the show is going to go? I can't see a major villain as an end boss yet...so far it seems like a buddy cop duo between Tiger and Bunny, old generation-young generation style. I'll have to wait and see how future episodes will go, but so far it's pretty good.

This isn't the type of show that gets really popular on these boards and doesn't seem to contain much that would make it popular with the animesuki crowd at large. Plus Nichijou, which everyone is going to be paying attention to cause it's by that studio with that reputation, and the last episode of Star Driver aired around the same time. I'd say if this show picks up more of an audience it's going to be later this month.
Then again I could end up being surprised by a sudden influx because I didn't expect much of anybody besides myself to even be aware this show existed and was coming out today.
