When speaking about character development, we usually address great examples. But what about those who haven’t gotten better over time? We are not talking about heroes turning into villains but just characters who lost their personality or became unbearable after some time.
Fans call Shu one of the reasons they dislike Guilty Crown. His transformation from a loser to a complete menace to a savior just didn’t work for the viewers. They think that his entire development was incredibly forced, and many of his decisions made little to no sense.
Fans didn’t fully understand how Shu’s friend’s death drove him to become a monster. His story just didn’t resonate with them.
This complaint is made entirely because of the movie. Violet was highly dependent on Gilbert. He took her in, he raised her, he took care of her, and it was later revealed that they both loved each other. The entire anime series showed Violet’s character development, who was learning how to live in a world without Gilbert.
At the beginning of the series, the girl is nothing more than a pawn, ready to do as she's commanded, but she learns about human emotions and becomes independent. Until the movie “resurrects” Gilbert and makes them end up together.
Contrary to the common belief, Mikasa did have personality at the beginning of the series. Eren always meant a lot to her, yes, but she was ready to make peace with his “death” and keep fighting. She showed that she could be a great leader and an autonomous character.
Even the Final Season brought bits of character development, when Mikasa finally took the scarf off… only to put it back on later and be loyal to Eren even years after his death. Wasted potential for the sake of a forced romance.
Dragon Ball Super is famous for its character assassination of Goku. It doesn’t even feel like it’s the same Goku from the original series. Fans are extremely puzzled by that, since other Dragon Ball projects did him well, and the Battle of Gods movie was a great example. Goku is vibrant, understanding, serious and dedicated to martial arts, but Dragon Ball Super made him look like an idiot.
All Kazuya pretty much does now is overreact every time he sees Chizuru and gives long speeches about how perfect she is, although they’ve known each other for over a year. Fans straight-up call him an idiot, and an annoying one, for that matter.
He doesn’t change at all: he was pathetic at the beginning of the series, and his character doesn’t develop much ever since. Every time there’s a hint on a step forward, Kazuya takes three steps back, and this is just upsetting.
Not everyone evolves.
