Well, imo, there are far too few of such shows nowadays. Majority of today´s anime features female leads, which really annoys me by now. And its not as if you couldnt splice up such "typical" scenarios.

I guess that goes into your realism/cohesiveness complaint.
That, too, though i was talking more about Rin´s behaviour.

Her brother is in high school, Rin and the rest of the Rideback Club are all in University. He lives at home further away, she lives in the dorms and he never talks to her...so yeah.
Ah, i forgot that. Was it mentioned why they didnt talk to each other? Living far from each other isnt really an explanation for that imo.
And if Ride Back"ing" is as popular in this world as we´re made to believe, i find it hard to believe that there´s no "proper" Ride Back club in her brother´s home area. Oh well...
