A series where the subject of who deserves to be the "main" character is such a debatable topic that the narrator/framing device characters actually discuss it briefly in the opening.A more recent work by the same author, Durarara!, seems to have a distinct main character in the first season, but he gets almost no screen time in the second season, where there really is no discernable lead role.To be a bit less obtuse than recent anime, many cartoons avoid the single main character trope pretty well, usually by following the "character of the episode" model. Let's take X-Men: Evolution as an example - fans of the franchise probably expect Cyclops and Jean Grey to be the "mainest" characters, but it isn't really so. The focus shifts easily from episode to episode.</blockquote>
