Agreed. Candy Island especially is possibly the most glaring example of lack of focus. Most of the time, I forgot Chieri and Kanako are even in Cinderella Project.

Yeah. But it makes me beg the question: Do they lack character depth because they haven't been explored yet, or their characters aren't being explored because they have no depth to explore whatsoever?

I can't speak for Kanako and Anzu, but Chieri is definitely the former.
In the actual game (and her anime bio), Chieri is afraid of being alone. Her parents are always working and thus she is lonely a lot of the time. That's the significance of the four-leaf clover; it's a reminder of her parents during one moment where she was at her happiest with them. It's also why she's heavily dependent on the Producer, since he is usually with her and she never wants him to leave her alone. The issue here is that the anime doesn't expand upon that.

Yeah, I mean, by what I see right now, poor Chieri is being 346's version of Yukiho in the way she's being presented. I mean, if Chieri's like that, why does she exist in the first place? Why not have Yukiho instead and leave it at that?
I mean, surely, there must be something more of Chieri, right? I desperately hope so. Same thing with Kanako. She must be more than just a source of fat jokes or something. And Anzu's got a little more character development in her, but she could be expanded upon.
DeviantProtagonist:
I like the concept of Chieri's separation anxiety, though it stresses the point this girl needs anything she can get. I'm still seeing Yukiho 2.0.
