I was expecting something akin to B gata H kei, but in the end, R-15 has so much left to be desired that it is actually harder to find what is the actual good stuff in there.
Frankfully, this was perhaps the worst pilot episode I've seen for a good while: very flat and uninspiring jokes, "in your face" fanservice being basically obliterated by the most powerful solar beams, cast without much quirk, along with a very tedious protagonist (his only role thus far is being a poor excuse for fanservice altogether).
It is actually appealing for that simple question: why bother making that kind of fanservice if it is going to be annihilated like that? Subtility can also be effective.
Really, it is like they wanted to use B gata H kei, but void of fun whatsoever.
tl;dr: an asinine first episode.
