This story about immortality, grief, and the importance of emotional connections is interrupted by the presence of blunt, strawman villains who exist not as characters but as plot devices to show the “humanity” of the protagonists.
It would instead make the story more bland imo if everyone were a nice guy with feelings.
Rather I like the way the show depicts these demons as forces of nature that don’t care for silly human emotions. Even someone like Himmel let his guard down against them because he too is human and makes mistakes.
This isn’t what the article is saying at all. Just that they lack complexity, and it was a missed opportunity to make them more interesting.
It’s a bold claim that they would become more interesting by making them more human.

If they want a series where everyone is really just a good guy watch Ranking of Kings
