Why I Could Not Finish Area no Kishi

I could not get pass the third episode of this anime. Maybe it gets better when it actually gets into the soccer playing part, but I wouldn't know and I never will. The anime had opened up fine, it wasn't amazing or anything, but it didn't make me not want to watch anymore. So, something happened to the MC to make him quit soccer and his older brother is pretty much perfection personified. Introduction of the childhood friend who moved away and came back who seems to be the generically perfect love interest in anime and will give MC motivation; also, her introduction brings the potential of a love triangle with the brothers. Then the unexpected happened, the cool older brother (who is so much more interesting than the MC) and the MC are involved in an accident and the older brother dies; and the MC survives by receiving his brother's heart. Cue the sadness/breakdown of MC because of the guilt (whether misplaced or not) he obviously will feel...or not. In comes this lady doctor that slaps MC out of it. Literally. She made me not want to continue with the show with her you only matter because of your brother or more specifically your brother's heart attitude, and her questioning the childhood girl about caring for the MC or only caring about the MC because of the heart and also for slapping the MC after the trauma he must be feeling (Seriously shouldn't she be in trouble for that?). I don't know if she goes away later on or her actions are explained later, but I could not get past her actions or her attitude. The only cool part was when he was "possessed"(is that what it was referred to as in the anime?) by his brother and had awesome soccer skills. But even that couldn't save this anime for me because of the lady doctor and because it seemed like the MC will be getting by with the brother's talent because he could barely beat the childhood friend in soccer during the meetings in the park. TL;DR: Lady doctor with too much interest in the case/older brother and seemingly lack of talent the MC had (but mostly the lady doctor) killed the anime for me.
