.........what...?!
Well I wouldn't call it boring. His background wasn't even shown. The fact he has survived on the outside means theres much more to him than shown in episode 1. This also seems like one of those animes where 2 or 3 characters can be more appealing and favorited by the viewers for their mysterious but obviously deep past (like Attack on Titan). I'm also very tired of words like generic with anime characters. I swear people call about every single main character that now. You can call any character in any show generic now. Every type of character has already been done before. What was this MC supposed to do? Have one leg and not speak? Come on.
My personal taste when it comes to music. Bombastic sounding, but doesn't stand out to me and isn't memorable, except for Kara no Kyoukai (that soubdtrack is godly). I don't even remember the melody of Godeater's opening (all I remember is that it had some slowmotion scenes). About this whole repetitve use of the word "generic": Reason I use the word is b/c we'll learn about his tragic past and how he became this revenge type character, and along the line we'll find out he has some hidden power. Taciturn personality. Also a natural talent, but initially stalted b/c of his reckless behavior and drive to save others in need. A "cool" character design (b/c this is an adaptation of a game so everyone needs to have some badass clothing, but who cares about the level of proctection or uniformity among the fighters). Instead of typing all of this out, I just used the word "generic." No one expects to see the MC past in the first episode, so even w/out it, something about his personality should stand out, make him feel unique. I'm giving him and the plot a chance though, so I'll see if the show manages to surprise me.
