Just because he's not crazy over-the-top like Gentaro doesn't mean he isn't capable of emotions. Haruto is a much more subtle and reserved character - just in the last episode he explained that inside he's freaking out, but he forces himself to stay calm because he needs to have his shit together to save the day.
I still think he's the best Rider we've had in a long time. Wizard as a show has a lot of problems, but Haruto is the one part that just totally works.

I strongly believe that part of Haruto's negative perception is that a lot of people who came into the franchise with W, OOO, or Fourze expect that all main Riders should be over-the-top and goofy, while all the secondary Riders are more stoic and serious. Wizard flips that dichotomy and the show is basically like Fourze if Meteor was the main Rider. The main guy is the serious badass, the support Rider is the flailing goofball. I can see how that might throw people that are used to it the other way around.

I'm not doubting Haruto is intended to be a reserved character, since there's things going on that would support that, but the actor is tre-fucking awful, and has zero personality. He's flat as a board, and barely manages to summon base everyday emotions in his voice. It takes a certain talent to play subdued without coing across as emotionally oblivious, and sadly he's utterely vacant in his performance, and that's what will always stop Haruto from being a good character sadly, the acting. He can't even say his dumb catchphrase without sounding like it's his first take on a morning where he slept in. |

Narutaki became Apollo Geist at some point in a movie, didn't he? That should count for something, even if he didn't do anything there either.
