Another character comes from a completely different context and has an entire episode narrating portions of their backstory, and is.
probably the most rounded one in the show because of that extensive focus. The “false prophet” loses any of their own motivation in favor of taking naps in the busty temptress’s chest.
Rajdhani is probably the show’s best character, the most committed to solving the mystery angle and a fun presence in general; the dub version even has him voiced by someone with Indian heritage, but he still mainly exists as smart guy^tm
The point I’m trying to make is, given the inconsistent handling of the characters and loose definition of what constitutes character development, I think the target audience would find it difficult to connect to any of these characters in an impactful way after the show concludes.
The expected prompt from the shows’ most ardent supporters would be:
“You completely missed these tiny moments all adding up. It’s deep, actually, the characters don’t have
obvious growth because they aren’t obvious archetypes! Look at all these metaphors you’re ignoring!”
Yes,
this is a show where a lot of context is very blink or you’ll miss it. Every episode is more or less its own story with a distinct message.

85, Ranked #3712 | Aired Winter 2006 | Produced by Studio Hibari It starts with one of the unluckiest love confessions this side of Katawa Shoujo: timid Hazumu gets rejected, and shortly thereafter a spaceship crash-lands on top of him. Advanced alien technology
brings him back—as a girl! A yuri love triangle springs up between Hamazu, her would-be girlfriend, and her childhood friend. The animation is as soft as the romance, all the way up to its neat and tidy happily-ever-after. Sakura Trick MAL Rated 7. 25, Ranked #2363 | Aired Winter 2014 | Produced by Studio Deen Yuu Sonoda and Haruka Takayama fear they will grow apart now that they've reached high school. How do they keep their friendship strong? Take it to the next level! Yuu and Haruka start kissing in secret as a sign of their relationship, but has it become something more? The answer isn't as obvious as it appears to be—not to our main couple, and especially not to their curious friends and parents. Looking for yuri fluff? Look no further! Strawberry Panic! MAL Rated 7. 48, Ranked #1598 | Aired Spring 2006 | Produced by Madhouse There's a whole genre of "seinen yuri"—male-targeted stories that deal in idealized cuteness and femininity, generally in teenage girls. Like Sakura Trick, Strawberry Panic!—set at an all-girl Catholic school complex—unabashedly subscribes to this. Its artists determined the pairings by polling the readers, resulting in manga, light novels, and later an anime that mix absurd melodrama with student council politics. It parodies syrupy schoolgirl romance as much as it
plays it straight.
