Anime like Gundam worked with protagonist rotation because each protagonist stayed for few years and the original protagonist Amano was a Gary Stu with space magic who got overshadowed by the villain Char.
However that doesn't apply to long running anime protagonist, specially if they starts off as an underdog with nothing special.
