Keep in mind that Phantom's comment doesn't mean a work has to be drawn out, it can be as short as a 12 episode series. It's just that it is willing to look into how the character thinks and feels and how they respond to adversity. I'll bring up Puella Magi Madoka Magicka long enough to tell everyone to watch it for themselves because I refuse to spoil it for the sake of a forum argument. However PMMM very much has a Hero's Journey, and the main character doesn't simply "bounce back" when something bad happens.
