Why aren't there very many complex male characters in contemporary anime?

Why aren't there very many complex male characters in contemporary anime?

Because they don't have tits and a cute smile?

For the same reason there aren't many complex anime characters, period. It takes skill to write them which your typical LN hack doesn't possess.

also theres no money it since japan just like harems

There are not many complex characters in anime. Try manga instead.

male characters are made for self-insertion mainly

>Try manga instead.

This is a joke. What manga characters actually have more depth than the best anime characters?

>mfw Hibichov wins best girl.

Can't self insert

Name a male character more complex than this.

Goku.

I found space brothers weird.
It went on for like 100 and something episodes, and it was able to keep character from becoming mundane or degenerating, while most anime characters degenerate after something like four episodes.

Still more of them than complex female characters.

Hibito is a creep

Because the vast majority of humans aren't complex, including myself.
Why would you think that actually complex character would appeal to simplistic people?

>UWOOOOOOOOOOO SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!! MAGIC IS NOT REAL I WON'T BELIEVE AAAAHHH IT'S USELESS IT'S ALL USELESS
Nah he is just a retard
The fact that he somehow gets convinced that everything was his fault and Beatrice did nothing wrong, while forgetting the promise of coming back to Ange in less than 1 chapter ruins whatever complexity he had

because you're either shallow or you're not looking hard enough

Mutta is special.

Speak for yourself, loser.

Mutta is a decent character but he certainly isn't complex.

I should really get caught up on Space Brothers.

>magic isn't real
he's right though

There aren't many female either but when complex characters do come around they change the dynamic of the show for the better usually.

But Mutta has a cute smile

Males don't sell. Unless they're bishies.

>Mutta
>complex
he's just a goofy manchild who wants to follow his dreams like a shounen protagonist

>tfw no Space Brothers S2

>he trust the witches


duuuuuude.

>it's been 3 years already

fuck

Because pretentious shit doesn't sell.

>What is Neon Genesis Evangelion

Is Mutta a virgin?

>a series more grounded than some edgy social commentary or friendship fantasy
>pretentious

It's because all you ever watch is moe shit user.

KYS

A super robot show with cute waifus.

Call it whatever you want, shit doesn't sell.
And for good reasons.

>KYS
Kill yourself.

Anime is inherently sexist and objectifies the male gender. We need more meninists fighting the current and getting us some well-deserved representation.

Totally user. The medium known for the idea of fan-service is what objectifies males.
