I'm still not agreeing. The setting is still pretty much "atmospheric" to me, "death is everywhere and inevitable but we persevere regardless for the sake of good times" is still the prevailing theme from Kara no Kyoukai all the way to F/GO's second act.
Strange protagonists.. what exactly is strange about japanese everyman Tohno Shiki? Yes, he has a cool killing power, but that's not his personality. His personality was always flat and boring. Ryougi Shiki had even less personality. I just don't get it. Shirou was interesting, but also about 30% of Fate/Stay Night's total text was dedicated to developing Shirou's personality and character, and not every story can be that rich, so he can't really be marked as the standard either. Do you think Aoko was that strange?
Ensemble casts do tend to individuals not getting as much development time, so I understand that much, I guess. But Nasu seems like he's been putting in a lot more work on his characters as F/GO goes on, with scenes getting longer and characters having more of their story told.
