Is Tenga Hajime just another version of Kamina and literally NOTHING else?

I didn't address this in my review of the series (please read it), so I'll say it here:

It bothers me that someone at Trigger decided to inject Kamina's personality into one of Kiznaiver's cast members and nobody did anything to try and iterate on that character. I say "someone at Trigger" because, while my faith in Mari Okada's writing is marginally small, it's enough for me to believe that, if one of her characters actually HAD personality, she would incorporate that into the narrative or themes in some form or fashion.

As it stands, Tenga Hajime is as laughably bare-bones as the rest of the cast. Way to progress with your character-writing, Trigger/Okada.

I'm curious what anyone else thinks.

I dropped the anime pretty early, so I don't even remember what his character was, but looking at him they do share a somewhat similar design.

Nobody dies in Kiznaiver, don't worry. For all its hackneyed attempts at mature subject matter, it's extremely tame. Typical of Mari Okada's teen-rom-com-drama formula.

There is enjoyment to be had in this show, but it definitely isn't worth everyone's time. I enjoyed its visuals, some of its comedy, and most of its English dub. That's about it.
