My major complaint with Wizard so far is the lack of characterization for Haruto. I haven't seen as many of these shows as you guys have, but I'm 20-something eps through Fourze and 12 through OOO and compared to those this guy's a complete cypher.
We know part of his origin. We know he likes donuts. Everything else is a mystery. We don't know what he was doing before the eclipse. We don't know what his life's ambition is if he ever defeats all the Phantoms. His personality is pretty bland. We know he takes his mission very seriously but thats a given. Meanwhile by the end of episode 1 of Fourze and OOO we know quite a bit about the protagonists. As of Episode 4 of Wizard... next to nothing about Haruto. This is probably intentional though so I'm not holding it against the show. But he is pretty much a blank at this point. |

I never got far in Clannad because I wanted to kick Fuko down a well, and she was the first character to get a story arc...

A lot of that comes down to motivation. We already have a clear motivation for the Phantoms. They want to break open the Gates and create more Phantoms so that they can retry their big ritual thingy. With the Zodiarts it took us almost a quarter of the series to get told that kids were being given Astro Switches in hopes of finding the rest of the twelve Horoscopes. And even then we didn't know what the point of the Horoscopes was until the end of the series. For me, one of Fourze's biggest failings (outside of the pacing problems) was that the masterminds behind the monsters lacked any obvious end goal for most of the show. It was very frustrating. At this point it at least feels like we have some sense of what the Phantoms are trying to do, even if the details are still vague. Quote:
It's probably also worth remembering that Wizard's head writer worked on the good part of Hibiki, which was a show that wasn't very interested in backstory and preferred to spend time examining the characters relating to each other in the present. |
It's also good to remember that it's only been 4 episodes. You weave a story in, not spurt exposition to the viewer :lol
