No matter how you word it, it comes across as simply not giving it enough thought. You may think it doesn't deserve it, but this isn't the thread for it and your message asked for a flame when people were having a discussion after giving it a thought. So it really comes as disrespect to intervene in such a way. There are other threads about the anime in general.

And yet, all you did was provide me with examples of what the series did show us. There's not really much more to wonder about the characters, other than what we've been presented. Now, the novels are an altogether different matter, but I'm only talking about the anime.

In all honesty, feel free to continue your discussion. I was only stating my opinion on the matter, after being slighted for a joke.

Now, if you sincerely believe the characters in the shows I mentioned are more vanilla than the ones in CSR... well, we'll just have to agree to disagree, mate.
I'd say that Nina is the most complex character of the series, far beyond the nearest competitor, with plentiful background info and development. Otherwise I could agree to a point.

I didn't say 'vanilla', I said synthetic. Which may involve incoherence, unjustifiable actions, non-sense motives or plain stupidity. Just making it different doesn't mean it's granted value.
