>>3087178>isn't an alien plightIt is, but it's been so overdone in not just Anime, but Sci-fi in general I got tired of it.
Like literally every single alien character has that plight, to the point where I've gotten annoyed with it. It's always about them trying to understand humanity and become more human, where Kaworu not doing any of those things was like a breath of fresh air to me.
I still think Karl is a decent character, and not that there's anything wrong with him having that but I just can't get attached to him for that reason.
I can't really explain it, but it's just my impression, the atmosphere of Qworu and Karl is more humanized than Animeworu in my opinion.
I completely agree with you that my thoughts on them are not objective. But absorbing and getting attached to a character inevitably leads to bias and subjectivity.
