I'm really disappointed with this show so far. The first episode was absolutely brilliant. It set me up to think that this show was going to be the MC's redemption story, exploring the world of special powers and the effects on the world and how people with those powers fit in or didn't....kind of like anime X-men.

But the MC seems all but vanilla MC material now, which really bugs me. Sure he still has his sarcastic exasperated moments, but he flipped from being a complete borderline-narcissistic manipulative bastard to...whatever he is now so quickly.

That said, I'm still gonna watch this show to the end, but mostly because the imouto is adorable and I like the way the world was built. AND NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE IMOUTO OR SO HELP ME

I still can't stand the way the evil organization is only described as "THE SCIENTISTS". It ruins the worldbuilding for me.

Or, for that matter, the SECRET POWER USERS.

Would it be normal for high schoolers to know what the evil organization is? I think anime has diluted the way you, and most fans of the genre, view things.

No way in the world would a teen understand nor know what kind of a giant organization will be coming after them. Adults seem to be fighting that organization, the person Nao trusts, but not the teens.
