Anime heroes

Have you ever been watching a favorite show, bet it anime or a TV drama, and one of the characters(hero or otherwise) gets injured. Now the more sadistic fans would be cheering them on while hoping for more blood. Because the characters getting hurt makes the show more realistic, and less cliche. When a person gets hurt, we grieve for them, but we enjoy the challenge of overcoming the injury. But sometimes it seems the writers can't allow their precious characters to be injured, at least seriously. Take Bleach for example. Ichigo gets knocked around quite a bit, but when he is hurt Orihime is always nearby to make sure the injury never happened. So he deals with the injury for maybe two episodes at most. The most infuriating example of this seeming immortality is none other than Toshirou Hitsugaya. The guy never gets hurt! You dont even see him faint until way past episode 100 when he gets thrashed by an arrancar, but surprise surprise, five seconds later he is covered in bandages doing the classic hero silhouette into the sunset. It seems that shows these days are getting more and more predictable. Hero meets bad guy, finds that bad guy a butt wupping, gets wupped, finds righteous anger, righteous anger saves day, hero seems hurt, is healed, goes fights more bad guys. It's a vicious circle that we, even I, enjoy watching. But is anyone else wanting a little more in their shows? One reason I enjoyed DGray Man, was it had plenty of everything. Rmance, random humor, Drama, angst, action, it was all there. And when Allen was injured, you actually saw him have to work through his injury to become stronger. He didn't whine, and he didn't have some chick who could heal all his wounds and give him an instant remedy to make him stronger. You saw the sweat, you saw the pain, and you cheered with the victory. I'm not bashing Bleach, I am a hitsugaya fangirl to the core, I love Hiei from yu yu hakusho, bad boys with hight complexes and spikey hair make my heart go faster. BUT they still don't go through enough. They maintain their tough guy exterior, through the entire series. Sometimes Hiei allows little spurts of personality as his past comes to bite him in the butt, and Hitsugaya allows tiny moments of his true obnoxious nature to leak out. But those moments are few and far between. Want to know the reason why shows like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Dgray man are popular? Because the main characters are not perfect. And we love watching their imperfection. Yusuke from yu yu hakusho is a typical punk only with powers, which makes the show hilarious. So to wrap up this rant, I'm looking forward to finding some unpredictable shows. Know any?
