I divide my characters like this;

Main Characters and Primary Villains;

People who show up up every episode or near every episode and are the primary focus of the episode or series.

Villains don't have to appear but just have to be the "goal" of the season.

Secondary Characters and Villains;

Characters who is a majority of episodes, not all of them but at least half, who, while not the primary focus of every episode, will receive a focus episode once in while

Support Characters;

The people who show up once in while.

To me, Tetsuya, Zanya, Rouga etc. are Secondary Characters.

Kazane, Genma, Suzuha etc. are Support Characters.

And Tetsuya and Zanya are looking to be downgraded to Support assuming things don't change by the end of this Tournament Saga.

So yeah. I think Tetsuya and Zanya have received decent development but not Genma and Kazane. That's just me.

I will say I think the biggest factors into this are the Vanguard Anime and the intended Audience.

Vanguard is the CCG Money for Bushiroad. No one can disagree with that. So I think it also divert the good talent towards that show away from the Buddyfight Anime.

The Audience for Buddyfight is another thing. The intended Demographic is younger then Vanguard, in a similar placement to Pokemon, so I feel that the needed elements to properly develop characters is limited by that.

Heck, it took them 1 and a half Seasons to go back on the Disaster and delve into it.

We haven't even gone into Yota. Besides him having Anime "Big C" and being a Mangaka, we don't really know that much about him. Was he always like that? Did he develop it?

*sigh* All in all, I'll admit. I complain alot but that's because I see drivel after drivel being shown again and again, when I KNOW they can and have done sooooo much better.

OK. I done Ranting. I want to cheer Pisces up. Not depress others with my Superman-High Expectations.
