I am simply bringing up fate/stay night because it's an example that's still in my mind, and because it's male lead was somewhat similar to start out (in that he was ignorant as hell). but it was mostly to just highlight how shallow and empty SnS's lead is. perhaps my shinji ikari comparison is better. SnS's lead if basically shinji, if shinji smiled, and lacked the brain capacity to have any angst...which basically means he could have been replaced with a lampshade, and the show wouldn't lose anything (tape an envelope to the inside, and a duracell battery as well to simulate the whole 'mistes' and 'flame' aspect of his so called "character")
