^ the manga has been rewritten with her exclusion in mind, so of course Trickstar is okay without her there (while she's the protagonist, she's the supporting type that works in the background and can get easily adapted out as long as you don't touch on those background stuffs, but I don't know. From what I've seen, the manga plot gets pretty weird/weak without her, the story just doesn't connect as well as the novels or the game).

If the manga is rewritten to exclude Ryuseitai/Knights/UNDEAD/Ra*bits (since they're also part of the supporting cast there, you really only need Trickstar/fine and maybe Akatsuki/the Light Music Club for the main story it follows), are you going to complain what are they even in the game for?

The fact is that Anzu exists in Ensemble Stars' story (at least the game) and she has a role there, like managing certain events, finding Leo, making the boys' costumes, developing the other characters' personalities and her own through interaction etc. There are also people who like her enough to demand her presence in the anime. There's not much use arguing over a character's necessity. If you don't like her presence, I think you can ignore her.

Sorry for being long-winded.
