Not since Princess Nine have I been disappointed by an ending so bad. Crimson Hero confirms for me that shoujo and sports don't mix well. The sports side of the story seems not to be taken seriously. The MC is inevitably going to be obsessed with some guy and her relationship with him is all that's going to matter. The sports side and all that that entails - drive, passion, focus, your team, honing your skills, being your best - will eventually come down to being just drivel because the guy is the real goal and trophy.
