I'd have to say this: there are girls with more heart and fortitude that Haruyuki. Now, this is nothing especially controversial, gender is no bar to such virtues.

However, I think one of the reasons why Haruyuki is so offensive is because he violates our conception of what a man should be. Let's face it. Switch Haruyuki's gender and put him in a moe body, and I'd imagine many would be singing a different tune.

I have a wild theory, by the way, that Ash Roller is one of the passerbys that the bus Haruyuki was on drove past in that scene before Brain Burst.

Oh, and the fact we all hate Nomi at least shows that the Studio is succeeding.
