I think what drags this show down the most is the lack of explanation in character's actions.
**Spoilers ahead**
1. Mimori attempts suicide 10 times. This is thrown out as some kind of fact, but actually nobody questions why she would try and kill herself. What's her personal motivation? If she was doing it solely as an experiment, does she value her life so little? Why do none of the other heroes who she informs of this seemingly not care, at all? Her suicide attempt is NEVER MENTIONED as an "Oh no, Mimori, why would you do that? Please don't do that, we care about you." WHY?
...
This is a massive plot hole.
2. Mimori breaks the barrier. This in itself is fine, but the fact she does a complete 180 and nobody gives her a hard time for it? She essentially betrayed the entire world to save her friends, yet she so easily flicks back to wanting to protect it again? This is the same character that attempted suicide 10 different ways to test a thesis. Is she so feeble-minded that she would not try to convince her allies she is right, and not even really fight against their goal?
Those are the two huge issues I see with the plot of this show. Additionally, the Taichi and the Shinju-Sama are never really explained. There's a little bit of explanation thrown in about them right at the end of the show but the world-building is cruelly lacking, especially when you have a character there (Mimori) who is obsessed with history and was seemingly placed solely to give exposition.
I did enjoy this show but I didn't think it was particularly strong.
