They're main characters, so that's why we get their backstories. The rest of the Orphenocs we don't learn nearly as much about.

I'm finally up to about episode 30 of Faiz, and i"m still really enjoying it. I can see where the criticism of it comes, that a lot of the problems would be solved if the characters would just talk to each other, but I can also see WHY they wouldn't really be comfortable talking about these things. It's not really bothering me.

I really warmed up to Takumi over the first ten-ish episodes. He's still plenty standoff-ish later on, or a jerk at times, but he also is trying to be a nice guy and help out ant what not.

Kaixa, on the other hand, sheesh. He started out all badass and cool, and I really liked him. But now, he's just being a douchebag because he can.

But I'm still finding it an intriguing show, and I really dig the designs of the Riders, and watching a couple episodes a week, I should be done in another 3 months. Maybe I should pick up the pace, cuz people keep harassing me to watch Gaim, as though it's a really good show or something.
