Define "memorable".

Do you mean characters that will be remembered over the decades like Spike, Shinji or Amuro? Or simply characters that aren't blank-slate self-inserts?

The former is expecting too much of your average seasonal anime, the latter happens all the time outside of harem/battle academy series.

Pic related is a memorable male character from a modern (within the last two years) anime.

because they're supposed to be self inserts for the mediocre average

The industry has honed the art of pandering to a military-grade precision.

As much as I can understand your preference towards traps, Subaru was a girl, anon.

Just because Subaru is a Japanese car manufacturer, it doesn't make it an anime.
