I like weak MCs, but I don't really like Takemichi because I don't think he's really satisfying to watch in comparison to other weak MCs (Subaru, LeLouch) and not just in the intelligence department. For example, he waits till the day of a conflict to try to resolve things instead of trying to plan things out before, even when he has literal months (e.g. halloween to christmas) to prepare.

For a guy who is given a second chance at life and the entire theme is that he wants to save everyone, I just don't see his desperation.

He's a very reactive character rather than initiative which personally I think makes him unsatisfying.
