"Bland" Anime Protagonists 

I think you forgot the video links, or i can't find them.

@@marchewmen they should be linked in the video cards. The little "i" in the top right corner.

2 am currently, rough cramming night. this video is a lovely break tho, your voice is very nice to just sit and listen to

He’s a very attractive chad, screw the virgins saying otherwise

To be a bland protagonist mean that the protagonist can be inserted into a different show and nothing changes. Ie Sao the male protagonist can be replaced by a metric tone of other protagonist and nothing will change

The fact that's it's considered below the bare minimum for not being a pervert for a male character in anime is the norm now really is. 😬😬😬 As a girl, I enjoyed watching Gojo figure out his feelings for Marin and vice versa. I'd rather much have someone like Gojo who's respectful then have some horndog ogle me then claim to have "feelings". Partners don't want perverts for partners, and I think it's pretty good that Gojo was actually the center of a shoujo anime. It seems to me that the most romantic and well-written male characters are written by women? Like Pride and Prejudice.

Ikr he’s just being a decent respectful guy who understands boundaries

Didn’t he have a wet dream of her once?

@@Yuunarichu Yeah I agree, as a guy I don't know why every rom-com anime always portray the MC as super perverted like Idk if its a japan thing but I have never seen dudes that horned up over a girl and that determined to just get a peek under a girls skirt is so cringe (unless its kazuma idk he just finds a way to make up for it) Oh and I kinda disagree with with your last statement on most romatic/well written male mc are written by women at least from the animes and rom-com animes I've watched its usually a mix of both and even more so male authors who make better male MCs and also the author of My dress up darling hasn't revealed their gender so they might equally also be a guy.

@@nefarious.7303 Eh, the last part was purely anecdotal! I actually haven't read a lot of literature to even say such a thing, but ya know about the YA's that get mainstream popular... definitely not.

He's a king

@@HidinginPublic and @Kevin Cairo Agreed, and agreed.

@@HidinginPublic Gojo is a menace he's managed to capture the heart of best girl Marin and best girl loli on accident.

@@danklegosi6084 Japanese J.J Jameson?

Sewing skills, knows boundaries, genuine chill dude who loves his family and has genuine interest in his girl’s hobbies. Gojo is perfect boyfriend material.

Realism is always based. There's a thing about slow burns that make them especially satisfying though!

Well it doesn't develop much from him cringing, now does it🥱

It's also realistic. Any guy who immediately jumps on a girl that soon is a creep.

@@zulthyr1852 realism enjoyers are also always based. Preach, king

Realistically this isn't smart. It doesn't matter how compatible your personalities are, if the s3× is trash it's trash.

The way I see Gojo, he can't be a self-insert. For one, he actually has commitment. A self drive beyond just being a vehicle to enjoy Marin.

you can hear him sperging out in your head when you read the manga. I get that like, it helps the manga pop to have him scream every 4 panels, but like the dude needs to tone it down if I freaked out like that I would have even less friends than I have now. I have no friends all I do is read manga. I used to drink but it gave me permanent ulcers so I can't even do that anymore. I will stick a vodka soaked tampon you know where every once and a while but yeah my stomach is ruined.

@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 I don't know if you really can have less than zero friends

@@dDoodle788 you can i know cuz i live that life. its okay tho I have Jesus

Yeah it is the story development that draws me to an anime, movie, book etc😄

I'm glad that resonated with you. It's something I thought like "if he has such depth and is so nice why is he judged otherwise" and for many I feel it was the design prejudgement that had more to do with other past works informing a perspective than the quality of the work itself

That's just what character design is for, it just proves Gojou's design is weak, maybe on purpose but the point stands.

@@night1952 it'd make more sense to call his character design bland instead of calling everything about him bland then

​@@hitto4772 That's exactly what i said though?

Which is like the whole point of the show and his character arc--appearances versus actual personality. Which means they succeeded!

PREACH SIS

for me of course physical attractiveness is great, but if you have nothing going on for you other than one trait or your attractiveness then hard pass

You should read my androgynous boyfriend and get into shoujo manga asap

YES YES YES YES 100% Im a female anime watcher (that sounds like a really weird term, i promise im not 45 years old) and i hate watching the protagonists and other male characters only think about a girl's body. Fantasise about groping her, all that shit, is so tiring that i want to delete the tab, shut my laptop, stomp on it and flush it down the toilet Being respectful, as a man, or woman, doesnt matter who you are, is the most attractive thing ever, and id like to see more anime characters like that, if not real people

That's good take but I think you should replace "sexual aggressiveness" with sexual attraction. Gojo is sexually attracted to Marin, like any normal male is with any female he is attracted to but he is simply not sexually aggressive, as a normal male tends to be. I can assure you, most normal people are not likening sexual aggressiveness with masculinity, regardless of what you think.

That's great to hear! I also have spent a lot of time recently coming to understand the aroace parts of myself, what brings them on, to what extent I have them etc. These gendered stereotypes linked inseparable from sex only hold us back I think. Teaching kids "people like you should be more forward and sexual" is a recipe for a bad meal

Yh the whole Aggressiveness thing is also false for most men. A Real Man protects those he loves even with physical force.

I find it strange that "he just needs to get with her already" is even a take with Gojo... I mean, not strange that it exists... I know the exact mindset that brings on that kind of thinking, but like... have people identified what the barrier is between Gojo and acting on his attraction to Marin physically? I ask this, because on the surface, it seems obvious... but as soon as you say what that barrier is explicitly, it seems stupid to criticize it. I think the primary reason why Gojo doesn't just hop in bed with Marin, is because of the assumption that there's a level of disrespect which comes with a man's sexual attraction to women. like, in reality that doesn't _have_ to be the case, and it _shouldn't_ be the case in a healthy relationship... but it's a pretty realistic hurdle that many men struggle to navigate. the waters for respectful sexual attraction have been tainted by certain archetypal behaviors and mindsets. and in fact... I'm talking about the very behaviors and mindsets that a lot of people are criticizing Gojo for not displaying in the first place. as a person, Gojo's main goal in getting to know Marin is to make his first friend since childhood... he doesn't want to do anything to jeopardize their connection to one another. and to that end, he doesn't want to come off as though his sexual interest in her supersedes his interest in her personality, aspirations, or well being. he's trying not to be an asshole to someone he cares about. the irony of his connection to Marin, is that she is fairly unabashed about trying and succeeding to look hot on purpose, and after a certain point in the show, she would love to know that he reciprocates her feelings... but Gojo doesn't know how to communicate that without feeling like he's doing something wrong. and like, a big part of Gojo's trepidation is the fact that he hasn't had friends for so long, and he really doesn't see himself as being wanted, needed, or liked by anyone. it's a part of his unique psychology, and it's what makes you aware that there's character writing going on with him. like I said, he's trying not to be a jerk to someone he cares about, and to him, that means letting her decide whether to accept or reject him, moment to moment. he's still getting used to the fact that she consistently chooses not to reject him socially. it'd totally break his character to have him suddenly toss his caution to the wind. it's how you know he doesn't just think she's hot... he really cares about her. and actually, the same can be said on Marin's end. she likes goofing around and teasing Gojo, and sometimes she can be pretty oblivious, which is where a lot of the ecchi comes from... but she's also constantly checking his reactions, and backing off if he seems wildly uncomfortable with the situation she's putting him in. and this means two things: one... if you like the ecchi scenes, then give Marin credit for causing them her damn self, seriously, you don't have to bash Gojo for not being assertive, Marin's got you covered. and two... Marin actually cares about Gojo's feelings, and has to show it by being considerate to him too. like... _wild_ concept, I know. but early on, Marin overstepped a bit of a boundary with Gojo. it was a total accident, she didn't know he was planning on pushing himself in order to meet the deadline she'd mentioned offhand, like... to her it was obvious that she'd probably miss that con deadline and have to plan to cosplay at a different convention, but Gojo didn't know that. he labored under the assumption that Marin would be disappointed if she couldn't go to that event, and he pushes through. it's an admirable show of work ethic, sure, but also... Marin ends up crying because she feels like she accidentally took advantage of his skills for her convenience, while ignoring his personal needs. and what she learns from this is not only that she needs to communicate her intentions better... but also that Gojo is the type where you might have to watch him, because he might not set his own boundaries himself if he thinks it'd disappoint someone. the idea that a guy might have boundaries, or that he might not be ready for everything that the girl in the relationship is ready for, is like... actually fairly progressive? because you rarely see that represented in a way where the girl stays invested, and waits for him to catch up to where she's at in terms of wanting a relationship. I think people aren't understanding Marin either, because like... Marin is tempted by him. she finds him attractive, she wants to go for it, but there's something holding her back too, and it's... respect for Gojo. if you're the type that can't respect Gojo as a character, then you don't understand Marin either.

@@loregoblin3854 well written. Thank you. The point about not being able to set boundaries speaks real to me. As 20 something man I had a relationship with much more sexually experienced woman. I was not able to set my boundaries properly, and the whole relationship in the end traumatized me. Often men also need to take their time before they are ready in a healthy way.

@@fraktaalimuoto I'm really sorry that you had to go through that... I really understand what you mean about needing the ability to set boundaries, and it makes it so valuable to see representation for relationships where both people understand that. and yeah, this is why I think My Dressup Darling works really well as a cozy comfort anime. often times, it can be frustrating to watch two people dance around their feelings for each other in a romance plotline... but in this show I think it works, because for Gojo and Marin, the core of that dynamic is their mutual attempts to make sure that the other is okay. it's a classic case of mutual pining, but it's bolstered by the fact that the leads are believably really good friends to begin with. anything that puts their friendship at stake will feel monumental to them, so they have to take care with each other. and I think the really wholesome part about the show is knowing just how much the two want to be mindful of each other's feelings. I think everyone deserves that level of consideration... I'm glad this show can have it's fun while also reflecting that.

yes a lot of people say he doesn't deserve marin but who are they to know what she deserves she wants him

You said this perfectly! Thank you!! I'm so tired of Gojo slander, he is such a great character 😊💕

So, i appreciate your attempt to redeem him, but at best it means Gojo is peeking out from the ocean of blandness, not that he's out of it. Even MCs that aren't just nice can be bland, for one, I forget the name of the dude, but the anime was about this guy who is strong as heck and has killed the demon lord on another planet. He kidnaps his daughter and basically throughout the series he seduces her and comes to "Love" her. It's a classic high school, magic, probably ecchi school anime. The MC is proactive and not sexually/romantically passive, but he still has the personality of a mud brick drying in the sun. Aside from his irregular jokes coming in from time to time, he has nothing to offer except being very overpowered. Now, Gojo is the same in blandness. The only thing separating him from the ocean is the narrative gimmick, if we want to call it that, of him being a doll maker. Only girls do things with dolls, something something dude does something feminine and that's bad yada yada, you know the story. The foremost issue with Gojo is that he doesn't change, and that's interesting for a lot of people. If a character doesn't change, then it must make up by being interesting, which he isn't. He's relatable, but not interesting. I feel like that's something very overlooked since 2005 when something being relatable is more important than actual substance.

@@BygoneT Heavily disagree and you missed my point about how Gojo DOES change, and that’s what makes the story endearing. I’m not sure if you’re just an anime-only watcher, but if you are then you’re missing half of the story. As of the latest chapter of the manga, Gojo has become more open with those around him and has even become more comfortable with reaching out to people. To the point where he is welcomed by Marin’s friend group and realizes that most of his anxieties are in his head. Some of my favorite scenes from the manga are Gojo getting to be a normal teenager with Marin’s male friends, because that’s something he would’ve NEVER considered at the beginning of the story. There’s also seeing Gojo become more enamored with anime/manga and grow to be a genuine fan. Not because it’s “relatable” but because it’s nice to see how Gojo is open to something that never caught his interest before and can find the value in it. That’s something a lot of anime/manga fans have been trying to get non-fans to understand: that anime/manga may seem weird at first but there’s a real reason people love and value the medium so much. Which works in parallel with Gojo’s love for Hina doll. And his character conflicts are not JUST because of the incident with his childhood friend and the whole “guys can’t like dolls” bit- that whole issue was already settled when Marin told him outright that all that gender stuff doesn’t matter. Afterwards, it’s more about how Gojo is more traditionally and conservatively Japanese and how that doesn’t (on the surface) mesh well with his more modernized peers. So Gojo’s main conflict is with dispelling his anxieties and realizing that there are people who won’t dismiss him for who he is and what he loves. And also some funny bits about how there are people who are no different from him (e.g Gojo’s ecstatic to see that there are anime fans who baby and talk to their character plushies.) TL;DR- there’s actually context in the story that disproves your point that Gojo doesn’t change. Whether you find him interesting or not is subjective. But it’s a disservice to the story to say that Gojo is a static character.

@@pinkraven7043 Of course I'm anime only, this story has no substance that appeals to me. if he changes in the manga that's no business of mine, Red vs Blue also gets phenomenal later on but I still have to watch 6, seasons at least before that begins to happen. I'm not interested in a story that puts off that sort of thing for later on, while displaying numerous things and humour I don't like. I skipped the parts where Gojo gets stuck because he's embarrassed, sorry not sorry, I've seen the shtick so many damn times I don't have time to waste on it, especially because it's not funny. Because I'm an anime only you cannot pretend I have to judge a character by the manga, that's idiotic. Sometimes the anime contradicts (Classroom of the Elite), skips (Re:Zero, Fate/Stay Night) or dumbs down the adaptation (86, my god they butchered it) what's in the source, that's no fault of mine. I'm gonna judge Gojo by how I've seen him. As for his changes in the anime, he was so forgettable i only remember a few. Gojo is just the sort of person I hate in real life, so the only reason I watched until the end was to pass time, people whose issues are a matter of their perspective and limited experience + filling the gaps with anxiety, dread and imagination are something I'm done with both in life and anime. It would have been nice to see him get over his issues in the anime though. The tradition Vs modernity is featured scarcely in the anime, at least I don't recall that much. EDIT: Damn spell check EDIT2: I also wanto to point out that what you think of as bland is actually not what I think is bland, for the most part. What's bland to me is when I watch or read a story and it feels like I already read it, heard what it's talking about and the designs are also same-ey.

Most authors in the light novel industry, just makes character like any characters without actually understanding the rule, the exact "Wants vs Needs" in dress up darling, Gojo wants to be like his grandfather, to make beautiful dolls, but along the way he spends time with Marin he realized that he NEEDS someone to achieve his wants. Authors has different ways to execute this. In Pixar's Soul, Joe wants to perform Jazz and the time where he about to get what he wants, he dies, along at the ending, he gets what he wants but he realizes his needs, that he needs to spend his last years of life more carefully, he realizes that his wants is just an another job, and his wants are delusioned from his needs. Light Novel authors just writes because they saw an another Light Novel and gets inspired of it or just writes something immediately that pops out from their minds, they also mostly make characters by seeing how characters are in other stories, they only see and rewrite instead of actually understanding the character

Not only that in real life nowadays with many people being incels, creeps that being a normal dude who is not racist, sexist and can control his anger is considered a peak or a dream man like when did being decent become a rare quality?

i think there are 3 stero types for mcs aggresive ones (shonen) nervous unaggresive ones (romance mcs) and messed up ones (seinen mcs) i like the 3rd one because they have way more depth but the 2 can have depth i feel like gojo is just boring because hes so non aggrsive which i think shouldent be the standered but hes such a boring character that nobody likes him

I wont say I hate him, but compared to other JoJos, he's less interesting. His character doesnt go through much development compared to Buccellati and the gang. Also, in part 5, the leader is Buccellati, so he's kind of overshadowed by him.

Thanks for pointing out those character shifts; it definitely slipped by me how he progressed like that.

Yes. Gojo is a cutie, I can't understand the folks saying "he doesn't deserve Marin" for the life of me! They're made for eachother: Gojos soft-spoken mannerisms and empathy goes hand in hand with Marins enthousiasm and curiosity, while she helps him come out of his shell without overstepping his boundaries.

​@@thomaskole9881nah who tf said that??? 💀

Ah yes, the og "bland" character. Can anyone else bring up some other iconic "bland" boy before Shinji?

@@daniellin1726 every harem anime has the most cardboard character, sometimes it actually hurts

Y'know, when I first watched Eva, Shinji really annoyed me. I knew *why* his character was the way it was, but I still didn't really like him. It took me like 2 years after initially watching Eva to *really* appreciate the story and characters, and now I think it's one of the best anime I've seen.

But Shinji isn't bland tho. He's a great depiction of an awkward teenager with clear signs of depression and codependency. I think sometimes we confuse "bland" with "quiet or understated". Yes, sure, some understated characters are what I would consider bland (looking at you, Ichigo from Bleach) but just because your character is "loud with a lot of personality" doesn't mean he isn't bland (i.e. standard for the genre like Natsu from Fairy Tail- another generic battle shonen protagonist).

@@firstnamelastname7298 issei is an exception lol

@@mikethepokemaster2012 huh?

@@mikethepokemaster2012Weren’t you born in 2012?

Yep, he's actually quite attractive

Good point but most is a bit of an exaggeration. I might agree if it's just only on shonen or Isekai ones. But to be honest this seasonal anime had a lot of mc different characterization. Or if you actually meant that his characterization never ends throughout the entire series up to its latest on the source material then its something

Yes thinking about this, most of us have similar qualities to "bland" characters. Even if they are a self insert it mostly says that most of us can see a bit of ourselves in them and see how we have room to grow as people. Even if the situations such characters get into are unrealistic or unlikely to happen.

Even leaving relatability aside. If every character is wacky and flamboyant... are they really wacky tho? What's so special about them being excentric if everyone in their world is? Excentric characters benefit a lot from having a more down to earth character as a foil

@@Carlos-ne3zf as of now though highly praised male MC's aren't on the eccentric side. It's more silent guys like Gojo and Hachiman (latter who screams wish fulfillment) who get praise. idk why people think eccentric is the standard for likeable male characters

True impossible challenge but we must hope and try

Good character with plain design. Is what im getting base from the clips ive seen

Me hearing about what a good character he is, is what made me watch the anime

I think his liking for hina dolls does make a difference, because it's not only a hobby but a work and a passion that he has, it actually gives him useful skills and gives him qualities like his proffesionalism, his focus, and commitment, while other characters that are defined as otakus is just to give the idea that they are socially inept or weirdos, he doesn't have problems making friends because those qualities, those qualities actually make him likeable for other characters in the story, but he has trouble opening himself because of that bad childhood experience, that the same liking for hina dolls caused.

@@mlmfshjm7962 You got a good point, and I won t deny it, Gojo is not a lame protagonist, he makes you want to continue watch the show, you can like him because he is more determined and passionate than other slice of life protagonists and because of what you said, but he still is in a "generic" flow, he shares slice of life prota features and shonen prota features, he is a nice mix but still not a "unique" character to me.

@@felixthecat403 sure, he shares some traits more generic protagonist but i find the that he comes to those traits more interesting, i'm happy you also enjoy the character

​@@felixthecat403its largely because its a slice of life anime. The genre does not communicate to you as 'look at this badass characters' that are prevelant in shonen action fantasy animes, but to show some kind of realism.

-a guy who bothered to write a whole comment about saying things on the internet is pointless not realizing the irony

Part of the issue, at least from what I see, is that Giorno has a mostly neutral expression, especially in the anime adaptation. In the Manga he starts out fairly expensive but gets more stoic over time which somewhat helps show his development over time but the Jojo Anime tends to base the characters off how they are at the end of their respective parts. Now this issue isn't unique to Giorno, all the parts have this issue but it stands out more with him and Jotaro to an extent. Star Platinum used to smile like a mad man whenever it was summoned but slowly got more stoic along with Jotaro, showing Jotaro gaining more control over his stand and changes in his personality.

A bit late, but he also literally says that he hates saying things twice when he shouldn't have to.

​@@heckincat1406Also Giorno: MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA (Still love the donut boy though)

​@@KingEgyptian🤡

Yeah but personality wise and design wise... Dude is really not anything to really gloss over. His dedication to his art and passion is definitely something to look up to and that definitely makes him better than Kirito #1037 but the character himself doesn't really spark anything deeply

I also like how you see Rock if he wasn’t bland in the OVAs. He’s cold and calculated but then after he saves the day he snaps back to normal almost losing himself
