Why does hardly anyone make good MCs anymore...

Why does hardly anyone make good MCs anymore? Anime has always had bad self-inserts but there are so many more now than there used to be.

there are so many more now than there used to be

No there aren't.

It's because all anyone makes now is isekai shit, a whole genre that revolves around self-inserting.

good MCs is non-renewable resource and we're running out
it's our predecessors' fault for being so irresponsible

Apothecary Diaries
Frieren
Spy x Family
Cyberpunk Edgerunners

good MC

Pic unrelated?

How is this any different from all the Battle Harem shit before that? It's all the same.

You called?

Those didn't have god protagonists either

Old good new bad

Kill yourself

Okabe is not a good MC, he has an annoying personality that is probably hit or miss at best and has no character depth outside of switching between chuuni mode and non-chuuni mode.

My hero

We just had Sakamoto Days and Spy x Family

I'm gatekeeping the good MCs from the likes of you

That headset looks so stupid lmao

Our hero

Besides Okabe, who would you name as a model protag?

Lelouch

The characters in Steins;Gate are overrated, they're very archetypical visual novel stereotypes and not as well written as people treat them as.

Steins

pedo wish fulfilment

Tell me at least one otherwise you're a faker

I'm surprised nobody has started shitting on any of these yet, based picks.

nice try. Faggot

good MCs anymore

pic unrelated

Yes there are.

/thread, isekai is the root of shit MCs because it's a hollow power fantasy genre from top to bottom.

Is Sakamoto Days worth watching? I heard it was a flop

Read the manga

I see now, we harvested all the good MCs...

I can tell you haven't watched much old anime because those were full of one dimensional protagonists too.

but the dimension was GOOD

All anime protagonists are terrible. It's the side characters that carry them.

This, it's chad MCs vs Beta MCs, even if they were flat it was still better.

Kenshiro
Joe Yabuki
Kaiji

There hasn't been a great anime in the last 5 years.

Steins;Gate's cast is kind of overrated in general, I don't think the mc is exceptional at all even though I keep seeing people treat him like he is

Why didn't he completely bareback breed Kurisu in her mouth, pussy and anus?

what was the last great anime

Solo Leveling

why does hardly anyone make good MCs anymore?

lmao Anon Babble has been saying this for 15 years now

All of these protags are from at least a decade ago if not longer

Ginko

Joe and Kenshiro are outright ancient too

if the MC is a black haired young male it is 99% of the time meant to be a viewer self insert as that is the audience in japan

Okabe is not a self insert, that's why he's good.

It's the same shit.

The Japanese should really consider the international audience.

Maybe you should start by posting a good MC then OP.

Okabe is the worst self insert, imagine larping as an sperg.

Ah yes, the MC for all of 3 episodes

My Man David

bad self-inserts

If you complain about this, anime is not for you. Go watch Hollywood garbage that hates you and you still consume it. That's more your speed. Anime is wish-fulfillment and escapism. Always has been, always will be. Shove it up your ass.

Then at least make losers who put in hard work to become power fantasies actually fucking girls.

reincarnated.

Still an incredibly shitty human being.

its okay because his smart & attractive now.

Out of all MCs, Rudeus is such a shit human being and one that I have grown to hate. From him being a wish fulfillment character to not actually growing as a person at all, really just annoys me to another degree.

Now if you want a good harem MC. Look no further from the man, the myth, the legend. The Juice.

?

Mind writing that again, champ?

Writers have simply gone to shit, you need a witty author and thousands of hours of brainstorming to come up clever, creative, and uniquely heroic MCs like Okabe.

you thought okarin was chuuni? that's cringe man

are you being sarcastic?

Steins;Gate is shit.

you have no idea what you even saw if that's what you think. to think there are actual weeaboos who have the literary competency of a five year old

holy zoomer

your shit

Old Good New Bad

good MCs

Look no further.

WRONG, RETARD! Even if you prioritize escapism, you can still make MCs that are entertaining to watch and don't have the personality of a wet tissue.

steins;gate

good mc

pick one and only one.
