Because this show sucks. lol
Honestly at this point, you are right; the show does suck. Just watching this episode for the first time and looking at gold and how he acted, I was freaking angry because of how he was just another Takaharu clone. I, already, cannot take starninger seriously because of his unreasonable outbursts and his annoying similarities to takaharu. I know it's 10 episodes in, but at this time, it has to get me to like these characters and so far, I have no reason to care about them. Taka and starninger are really annoying, I still find cloud boring as all hell (seriously, while taka's fired up is annoying, cloud's easy quote is boring), nagi is completely bland, as I've seen right now, I really don't care about Fuuka, and while Kasumi is my favorite character (though that's not saying much), she doesn't leave that much of an impression to me. And I understand it's 10 episodes in, but at this point, the show has to give me a reason to care about these people and for now, It's not showing. I am glad however, that the show decided to show some slower pacing, but is that enough? Idk.
