Why is "Bucchigiri?!" 's MC so Bad?

To anyone who watched Bucchigiri?! and the show just wasn't for you, this post is not about you

This post is for those who say they love everything else about the show, art style, animation, colors, fight choreography and ever every other character! They love all of that but they drop or constantly whine about the show because "THE MC SUCKS". Any of the past Episode threads will have plenty of examples

Let me breakdown why everyone who says that is r******d

Out of every studio in Japan, which one is constantly talked about forcing crunch on their animators and sqeezing every last ounce of work they can out of them? Which studio is so focused on money and quarterly earnings they pump out (good) anime like a factory? MAPPA. Love them or hate them MAPPA is very clearly focusing on making as much money as they can as a studio. Why does anyone think that a studio focused on money would approve an original anime where the Main Character stays unlikeable and annoying the whole way through? Do you think the same people who can write good characters like Matakara and Marito just ran out of ideas for Arajin? Use your brains!!

My favorite franchise has always been Gundam, and most of those shows have extremely naive, immature, selfish and downright unlikeable main characters (who are also usually between 14-27) who steal the Gundam and somehow end up entangled in the war. Their shitty personality sticks around for 10-20 episodes depending on which show but that's still the beginning of the show with 50 ep**.** By the midway point of it the MC has gone through so many terrible events and had to make so many tough decisions that they mature and become a much better version of themselves for the climax and remainder of the show

THAT'S CALLED CHARCTER DEVELOPMENT

Not to mention the fact that Matakara Is considered a main character right alongside Arajin. If you actually pay attention they have pretty equal screentime, at least over the last 5 episodes. Then watching (instead of skipping) the OP, using only kicks during his fight with Jabashiri the subtle framing of some scenes when they were kids in front of the shrine. All that makes it pretty clear that Matakara will somehow merge with the Blue Genie Ichiya and the real story begins then. So far everything shown has been set up imo

This show is building up to be something amazing, and it just really makes me sad TikTok kids are taking over the narrative and turning people away from giving it the chance it deserves solely over a MC that hasn't developed fast enough for TikTok conditioned minds
