@bismarkus, i dont consider that whole "main character didnt recieve a backstory yet" as a con. I have watched A LOT of anime and read a lot of fiction. There are sometimes waiting for a right moment, a dramtic climax to the story to have the characters backstory revealed. Vomitting everything in your past from the get-go would leave us bored and we would have nothing else to explore. I dont know if you watch anime or not but i can list ten anime where you follow this "mysterious person and dont know unti later about about their past.

And yes, the short run time is a BIG annoyance to us, the viewers and to them the writers. They probably feel restrictive wanting to add more to the episode but end up not being able to. The pacing in volume 1 was terrible because there was no set time but they are learning from their mistakes and changed it to 12 minutes.
