They ruined Aoi with that ridiculous haircut in Galaxy and now Norika, seriously ?

Why is Hino ruining female characters for no reason but refuses a logical haircut for Nosaka because he did a brain surgery ? Because pandering to the female audience with good-looking guys is more important, which is why they slimmed down Kozoumaru. But the series wasn't always like this, full of conventionally attractive guys and only a few uglier ones. The original series, especially in season 1, had a roughly equal amount of both, but perhaps due to the growing female audience, the number of ugly guys decreased with each season. I don't mind having more attractive guys than ugly guys in the team, but changing Kozoumaru's design just so the girls will start to like him, because hey, looks are more important than personality, is just stupid. They might as well have done the same to Iwato, but they discovered another way of making him popular without altering his looks. And Nosaka doesn't look bad at all with shorter hair, so they should have used that design.
