I want to like this show now before the payoff comes in but as of now, I have a hard time liking this show.

Otonashi is like... the cliche, run of the mill, help-everyone-male-character and everyone else are fodder for him..

Also, I'm a bit pissed off about Naoi. Because if he had stayed longer, he could have been a much more of a serious threat and perhaps even main-villain material. The way he has all these outrageous hypnotism powers to how his identity itself is a cover would have been hard to delve into. But no, he came and went at the snap of a finger. I really liked his backstory alone, but as it stands, it's just a yet another 'crying-story' without any circumstance as to where it came from.

Again, this can be remedied if the endgame of this anime explains why these things happened the way they did. But the way Naoi was handled... I'm sorry, I can't buy it.
