The same applies to Anna. We know what makes her tick and that she's a Strain and her overall relevance isn't that high so that's good enough. If anyone want to know more they can go look outside of the anime. Now that you mentioned him, Kusanagi also counts. I may not like Pussy but I do think as a character she was given the necessary exposure to know her as a character, though that's admittedly because there wasn't much about her to flesh out in the first place. I would have disqualified her had they not gradually reduce her screentime as the Kings conflict become more prominent.
You know, I'd thought I'd be annoyed by Kitty since she's obviously blatant fodder material, but out of all the female characters, she's the only one I liked for the most part. I can't hate on Anna too much because she really didn't do anything but Lt. Boobs turned out to be useless...other than not wearing panties.

I am intrigued with her relationship with Kusanagi though. Hopefully season two has her at least kicking arse somewhat. She is Blue King's righthand woman...but yet Fushimi has done more.

But yeah, I do hope the sequel becomes much more focused on the characters that need it and if they end up wanting to give HOMRA the spotlight again they better darn well give Scepter4 just as much focus in return. Tatara's been dead from the start, Mikoto's also dead and Anna may have even less things to do now so my interest in HOMRA lies mainly on Kusanagi and Seri's relationship.
I know I'll be slammed for saying this probaly, but that Tatara's backstory was the worst episode in the season Yeah, I know his death is what kicks things off and there needed to be a reason why everyone in HOMRA was mourning him, but I didn't exactly buy 'TOTSUKA WAS THE BESTEST BRO EVAH!!!'

Alternatively, make the other two Kings the main character and focus on them with everyone else reduced to side characters. That works too.
Yeah, I want Green/Black story!

And whatever happened to Kitty and Doggy...Did I miss something where it was revealed that Kurou's a Strain and is really a dog???
