One common complaint I hear (and make!) about manga and anime is that
the stories will often include some really interesting, important
issues, delve into philosophy, employ symbolism ... but never really go
anywhere with such things. Crosses and biblical words litter anime
without any real context. Gay characters are often just foils for
everyone else to play off. So often there are hints of something truly
interesting, but they end up as pieces hijacked from outside and
deployed just for visual appeal.
