>>9288 Such is life in an ensemble cast. Take Star Trek, for instance. The Next Generation had nine regular performers but the only one we really got to know well was Picard. Through all of the series the captain of each is the only character to appear in every episode even if the show is follows someone else. Star Trek ultimately is The Captain's Story, plus these other people sometimes. Firefly, on the other hand, did a better job of balancing the writing. And so it was with the 501st. Nine characters, and we spend some time with each but the show centers on Yoshika. The new show will also probably focus on just one in the same pattern. It's frustrating if the main character doesn't especially interest you, but it's a reliable writing structure and they're likely to keep using it. If there's one thing Japanese entertainment loves it's recycling the same tropes over and over again. The new show might break out of that pattern and surprise us, but I wouldn't bet on it.
