[Laughter]
this is ashley with watch mojo and today
we're counting down our picks for the
top 10 anime where the main character
suddenly changes
[Applause]
foreign
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at the
series that suddenly changed their
lineup halfway through
by focusing on a brand new protagonist
what did you think of these switch ups
let us know in the comments
and watch out for them spoilers and as
always you can catch me on twitter at
jbow so head over there give me a follow
and let me know which anime list you
want to see next
number 10 talentless nana this is what
happens when you're deceived by tropes
normal guy isolated by his class bullied
all of a sudden finds himself
bonding with an uber-chippy and
sweet-spirited girl
who makes him see the world in a
different light
[Music]
given how amongst a class full of
superpowered students nano was able to
cancel abilities instantly
it seemed like he was the perfect fit
for the lead
[Music]
at least until nana the adorable and
harmless bell who had pushed him to be
more confident
threw him off a cliff after revealing
she's been hired to assassinate the lot
of them
and there goes the spotlight
daily lives of high school boys while
most know this relentless parody of a
comedy series
for its three main team many at first
glance would think that tatakuni
was a shoo-in for the main role what
with him being the resident
straight man
[Music]
turns out he's barely in it his other
two bros in crime get
way more attention in screen time
to the extent there are theories flying
around that since they're never in the
same scene together
tadakuni and the strawberry gill are one
in the same
no number eight dr
stone from the get-go it was clear that
the muscle-bound
well-meaning yet slightly dim taiju was
going to be our leading man
he was so pure of hearts had a crush on
the resident good girl
he was taking all the boxes
at least until the world turned to stone
where senku and the power of science
came
into their own
[Laughter]
quickly shafted to the side taiju's
absence while a bit sudden
really brought out the eccentric
geniuses qualities as a protagonist
and quite frankly we couldn't be happier
[Music]
number seven black butler ii with ciel's
soul devoured by his demon butler at the
end of the first season
there was nowhere for this gothic romp
of a drama to go
other than with a new rich boy with a
new super-powered servant
i prefer my roses displayed like this
psych turns out that while alois trancy
got a whole episode dedicated to his
introduction as a slimy
and sociopathic brat he was just an
advertiser for ciel's grand return
cl phantomhive is it something of a
cop-out
kind of but it's better than having the
focus put entirely on aloise's
[Music]
nobody will ever replace kamina kamino
[Music]
[Applause]
the man was like a dying star one who
shone brighter than any other characters
and was snuffed out just as quickly
all that's cool following on from the
shocking and sudden death
barely a quarter of the way through the
series the stage was set for simon to
take over
while he didn't quite live up to the
legacy left by his bro and let's be
honest nobody could
the young digger still found a way to
rise up and become a hero
all his own
[Music]
number five
[Music]
her name might be in the title and the
plot might revolve around her every
action
but as this deconstruction of the
magical girl genre pressed on it became
clear that madoka wasn't the true star
of the show
that honor went squarely to best girl
homura
after learning that she was a time
traveler hell bent on saving madiga from
her dark fate
it became obvious her crusade was the
true heart of the series
and let's be honest she's a far more
compelling figure overall
tragedy overcomes cuteness apparently
number four jojo's bizarre adventure
every new season might herald the
arrival of a new member of the joestar
bloodline
but we can't forget the trendsetter that
started the now much beloved tradition
[Music]
following the death of jonathan at the
end of phantom blood the remainder of
season 1 was picked up by his grandson
joseph and thank iraqi because joseph is
dynamite
the amount of swag and charm he brings
to the table elevated what could have
been a forgettable first entry in the
jojo verse
into one of the best okay
number three dragon ball z it was hinted
at during the frieza saga but at the end
of the cell games it was clear
gohan was the new face of dragon ball
and i won't watch this
[Applause]
anymore
he had bested the ultimate android and
taken the mantle from his father to
protect the planet
at least until the buu saga began and
toriyama had a change of heart
by bringing back goku as the star
huh hey
i'm back dad it's you
while fans were obviously very pleased
in hindsight it's clear how much of a
disservice this did to gohan
guess he's always gonna play second
fiddle to his papa number two
mobile suit gundam c destiny it's almost
laughable what happened to shin
presented as this damaged vengeful pilot
who is going to set the seed scene
on fire with his ace piloting he
headlined his own show
for about half a season
only to be swiftly replaced by our lord
and savior
kira jesus yamato seed's favorite son
was so popular and so in demand
that shin was relegated to a corner to
angst for the rest of the sequel
while it certainly feels like a
bait-and-switch we can't deny kira's
charisma
makes him the far more likeable choice

hikarashi when they cry when you're
pinned up and down by
murderous girls caught in an endless
loop of insanity
kisses and all other kinds of craziness
it's easy to see why kg started the
series as the main character
[Music]
a potential victim who had to fight
against his so-called friends
when they start getting a little too
hacky slashy at least until rica's role
as the queen carrier started to become
more prevalent quickly overshadowing
kaichi's bid
for survival against rana and company no
one had it rougher than she did
