How Kana Hanazawa is being directed has zero to do with whether a viewer finds the character of Aoi irritating or not. Aoi is supposed to be irritating and I'd say her seiyuu is doing a good job of voicing that kind of irritating character. I still like her despite the fact she's irritating, but that is purely a personal viewpoint.

After watching episode 7, I can say Haruto is my favorite.
spoiler[Haruto and Aoi manages to save Ibara's life and with Taeko's medical skills, removes the shrapnel on her abdomen while Haruto donates his blood since Coppelions of the same class year have the same blood type. Aoi blames herself for Ibara's injuries and locks herself up. Also, we find out the Ghosts are gathering nuclear waste barrels and planning to dump them to the abandon nuclear power plant and blow it up to further spread the nuclear fallout as revenge against the government. And the reason they were trying catch the Coppelions alive was because the radiation levels at the plant are too high so need them to transport the barrels. Ibuki is in labor and with the government refusing to send a specialist to deliver the baby until the expo is over, the group heads to a hospital in the capital. However, their journey is block by the Ozu sisters, Haruto's teammates. Their specialty: Serial Killer.] |

You know i was REALLY hoping Aoi was going to prove her usefulness by delivering that baby...............i should have known better. Next week will be kind of interesting at least. A straight up fight between super powered high school girls! =)

I sure hope we get to when Haruto and Ibara start boning. I also sure hope that's in the manga to get to. Do their super-powers also extend to the bedroom? What kind of amazing feats can they perform?

Well, as Ibara has the spoiler[strength of 10 people], Haruto is at the very least going to need a spoiler[reinforced groin.]

Episode 7
Ah Aoi...I don't even know what to say now. Anyways, it seems like some real trouble will go down soon. I have no idea who those two girls at the end is but seems like Ibara knows them. I'm going to assume they are major antagonists of this show in the latter half. Both of them looks a bit psychotic as well. |

Naruse in a pretty spoiler[dangerous situation.
Aoi was a nervous wreck as usual.] Look like spoiler[Haruto] was good for something after all. Aoi was spoiler[guilt tripping herself rather badly..] That girl is pretty much useless most of the time ^^" I don't get how she even managed to survive this long. Probably because she has such good friends. Those 1st Division guys are completely insane. Guess all the contamination fried their brains. The big picture was just shown and it's not pretty. |

Not sure why this is in spoilers but I find Haruto to be one of the most useful characters in this series so far as opposed to Aoi. He has both the technical skills and thinker as well as making risky moves (spoiler[like the blood transfusion to Ibara to save her life]). I think Haruto would definitely make a valuable asset to any team for missions. |

Episode 7
I can't Aoi, it is simply not fair to say she should get her act together, like getting out of a depression is something east. Aoi does not have amazing strength, or animal like abilities, the fact she has ended up fairly useless in combat situations seems quite understandable, and it has shot her self-esteem. Aoi is not the first aider or the one responsible for action and leadership, I stand by my opinion that she is meant to be a human face for interactions with survivors. I would take it that she strongly also feels how her team is handling, although the situation has overpowered her from them both being harmed. I might not be too happy with the way Aoi is acting at the moment, but it is not fair to call her useless. For the series too, a psychological element is something I enjoy. Also with the truck, it was quite obvious they spoiler[were being funnelled, they should have seen this as a reason to not take an obvious choice]. It looks like Haruto's spoiler[team will end up villains, perhaps not a good idea to make killing their specialty and treat them like "dolls"]. |

I genuinely want to know exactly HOW you can enjoy someone who just gets themselves into trouble and cries all the time. There is nothing wrong trying to add a bit of psychological drama but Aoi is not delivering it in a satisfying way that makes me feel compelled by it. She doesn't even feel that excited about doing her own job which is to save people because she complains about wanting to go home or how tired she is. If anything her personality goes AGAINST the team. They are already in a stressful environment so what good does it do to have her bringing down the mood all the time? If Aoi was replaced by Haruto from the beginning i would have been able to tolerate this show much easier. |

But we can assume that Haruto has spoiler[very little empathy for humans], he pretty much said spoiler[they should all die].

Why exactly do you think he's part of the "Clean up crew"? They were probably designed to act like that. If you notice the two girls that show up from Haruto's group are quite "insane" and have a thing for killing. While Haruto is a bit more level headed he still has no sympathy for humans like the guy in the white coat who are purposefully putting people in danger. He hasn't acted rude or spiteful to the guys that are helping them out has he? So even though he's designed to act that way he obviously has standards.
They were given that personality most likely so they could do their job better. However if he was assigned the to the Recovery crew with Ibara and had the same abilities he has now there is no question in my mind he would have been far more useful than Aoi. |

While they were at it why don't they just create a team of Ibaras?
If they are so easily designed, then Aoi must have uses, but they have merely been in the wrong situations. Clearly they were not meant to be in as many combat situations as they have, and if that is the case, then it might not be Aoi fault that she us unable to cope. The position that Aoi was designed to fill on a search and rescue team might be why. |

If that's the human face my rescuers showed me, I'd go running in the opposite direction.  You can be compassionate and comforting without be an annoying ditz. If that's her function, she fails at that too. Had they just let Div. 1 keep her, they'd have all committed suicide after a week, problem solved.
Not only is she an idiot, we now know one of Aoi's many problems is that she's completely illiterate. ::holding kit labeled "AED" in big yellow letters:: "Is this the AED?" Oy. I was so hoping Haruto would give her an Airplane! slap. If a show otherwise makes sense, I can forgive a lot of idiocy in the details, but Coppelion fails on both fronts. Did they do a spoiler[cutdown on Haruto's arm to draw blood? When I give blood they don't wrap half my arm in bandages. And is the baby a time bomb or something?] How in the world is it a rational decision to spoiler[leave the protected and clean environment of the Planet (which has a surgery!) to brave a day's journey and dangers unknown to deliver a baby in an abandoned hospital? (And they expect her to be in labor for "2 or 3 days"?)] Basically that just screams "we needed to think (but not too hard) of a way for the upcoming confrontation to happen." How many Coppelion are in a class? So far it looks like maybe 2? The way the whole operation is organized is something else that makes no sense to me. Fine, teams of 3, but there seems to also only be 2 teams - rescuers and cleaners. Doesn't seem to be enough Coppelion to even begin the whole operation in the first place. About the only thing that has made any sense in this is dumping nuclear waste in an area already glowing with nuclear waste beyond redemption. But that, apparently, was a bad idea (before we knew about Div. 1). |
