I disagree. Hiro is anything but a bland protagonist. His psychological mechanisms are well explained throughout the story. It just that too many anime watchers want long flashback and detailed tragic backstories to sympathize with the villain. A villain is a villain no matter what motive or reason they may have to kill and destroy. They exist purely to be a threat to the main characters and raise the stakes of the story. Hiro does that just fine.
He is obsessed with manga fictional characters and disregards the life of any person who isn't in his social circle.
It is implied by journalists that divorce of his parents, parental neglect has wounded his psyche and made him disconnected from society.
It also explained in the story that he was killing pet when he was young. Furthermore, it is explained that Hero has developed a bloodlust when he saw a man jump in front of train earlier in is life. Sociopath who kill because of their bloodlust exists in real life. It is well documented google it!
What more explanation do you want?
I praise the author for planting subtle details about the motive and backstory of Hiro throughout the manga instead of using detailed flashback and overdramatic backstories like some other popular anime do. It is cliche and boring for me.
You don't have to sympathize with Hiro but he still has some humanity in him and that pushes him to take extreme actions when the things he cares about are being attacked.

I've noticed that a lot of its fans can't really seem to understand why anyone would dislike Inuyashiki so I'ma give you two reasons...There's more than two but I'm lazy.

1: Hiro is an extremely bland protagonist. By that I mean he's almost always emotionless. He has no goals, he has no inner monologue, he's not intelligent, he's not even redeemable. The viewer is literally given no reason to care about him other than "lol his mom died" and "lol he's so edgy look at him killing all these faceless characters you should be disturbed by him." the anime makes him the antagonist and expects you to become deeply invested in him...When he has all the depth of a puddle during a heat wave.

1: Hrio is an extremely bland protagonist. By that I mean he's almost always emotionless. He has no goals, he has no inner monologue, he's not intelligent, he's not even redeemable. The viewer is literally given no reason to care about him other than "lol his mom died" and "lol he's so edgy look at him killing all these faceless characters you should be disturbed by him." the anime makes him the antagonist and expects you to become deeply invested in him....When he has all the depth of a puddle during a heat wave.

2: Every death is pointless or forced: The only characters that die are literal shonen cannon fodder and they die in droves. And make a big show out of it.. The only relevant characters that die are the ones that needed to die for the plot to happen. Which explains why they stay dead...considering the main characters can bring people back to life.

This anime is just one big problem from head to toe but I thought I'd just point those two problems out

The reason why Hrio isn't a good villein os because he's an extremely robotic character...Instead of having any semblance of personality he's closer to a walking checkbook. It extremely clear the mangaka behind this anime only cared about making a one domesnional character reactionary character. Which is evident by the fact he doesn't learn from any of his mistakes....

Hrio told his friend that he wouldn't be caught because he wasn't using bullets. But for some fucking reason when he does get caught he decides to go around slaughtering people again and gets surprised when the police find him a second time..Since revenge ended poorly for him the first time Hrio thinks that's it's a good fucking idea to attack the police station and then destory tokyo, inysuhiki shows up and stomps his emo ass and Instead of admitting he got his ass fucked by the old man before skipping country. He decides that the best thing to do would be to pick another fight with him.
I mean yah this guy fucking tore my arms off my body but I feel good about my chances now. Pretty sure I'm lighter without those things weighing me down. Sorry but no one that fucking stupid would make it to highschool. I think Hrio might not be able to understand why people are upset with him because he's mentally retarded. That would make sense considering all the stupid choices he made in the series.

Yeah, I really don't understand why this gets so much praise. It was decent, definitely not trash, but above an 8 and AOTS/AOTY? No way.
