I mean, you can still have a character driven story about adventuring to fight a bad guy, but measuring it by "could you replace the characters and have the same story" is an interesting thought.
Compare Birdman to Batman. Both stories to do with vigilante superheroes and Michael Keaton. But one deals with his own ego, his consciousness and his human condition, while the other deals with saving Gotham from Joker or Penguin
I’ve been writing scenes for myself of a story I’ve had in my head for a while. And I’ve been fruitlessly struggling to create a plot. You can’t take a character driven story and stuff it inside a plot structure, you’ll just squish the emotional experience altogether.

I didn't know who this lady was, but I was searching for a good explonation and upon spotting her with that hat, I know I was at the right place. :D

Why can’t you have great character and plot.x
Anime is often character-driven. I love that.
It's not. It's often plot-driven with rich characters. Especially shounen.
"Death note" its actually character driven
@@sttp596 Light didn't battle with himself. He barely had a moment of panic when he had to kill his own father.
_"Ashita no Joe"_ & _"Kaiji"_ are the only anime shows i can think of as "pure" character driven stories.

Can someone name one good character driven story? Like iconic. As iconic as Star Wars or Harry Potter

Excellent explanation. I got bored of reading long ago, and just now realized I don't like boring char driven crap. Gimme a plot driven.
What’s up with the welders goggles ???
