OP

[(Anonymous)]

I thought about that question after I made the secret, and what makes Sakura bland to me isn't all her character, but also the plot and length of the series she's in. She has flaws, but they don't cause her any significant conflict in her life or Card Captor work. That would be fine in a movie or much shorter series, but for one of CCS's length, it gets incredibly static. I wanted character development.

The only thing that could make up for that, I think, would be having a personality that's amusing or unique, where the entertainment value of just watching her be herself makes up for the lack of character development. I know that's vague and more subjective than the first point, and I suppose Sakura fits the mold for it in some fans' opinions, but she's way too "normal" for me.

And still, me finding a hero bland while still enjoying the work despite that is rare, so I think I'm might be more lenient with my criteria than most people.

Hnnnn well normally characters not suffering for their flaws is a Sue qualifier for me. It sounds rather frustrating but I would probably give it a pass if the character was otherwise pleasant and just think "what a boring character".

I suppose if other characters were engaging it would be allright but it really seems rather frustrating.

/ just my two cents

I think I get what you mean. Have you tried Fruits Basket? It is the only series where the adorably nice sweetie genki lead has actual layers and depth enough to make me like her. In shojo media, the heroine is meant to b the stand-in for the reader so they are often times just walking cardboards of what girls are told to and thus inspire to be. Some series do give more depth or deconstruct the idea (Sailormoon has more realistic personality, Tohru in FB is far more complex. Other shows like Ouran try to make a different heroine but I think she isn't as unique as the creators wanted. Utena is a deconstruct of the ideal in a great way.)
