I disagree; Elena and Madoka are good characters with lots of potential. It's just that the writers aren't giving them much to work with or much episodes that focus squarely on theme, thus allowing character growth and seeing new sides to them.

Elena is the responsible one, but what else does she have? She seems rather stale as a character and, personality wise, is the most forgettable. If they want to make her a Nao-like character, they needed to give Elena something new that can also fit in with her arc. Yes she's responsible for her siblings, but what if she wants more for herself? What if there are times where she wants to be independent, or there's something about her that makes her a somewhat unideal babysitter? It'd also be cool if they showed different sides t her, like if she had a fear of dogs when they traveled to Kennel.

Madoka's arc is interesting because, while she seems like the typical 'young lady', it's mostly because of her father's expectations. Don't know how her final spotlight episode will play out, but I wish they could have shown Madoka's imperfections in earlier episodes. What if she didn't win the archery contest? What if she didn't win that piano recital she won, despite not being satisfied with her performance? If we see her lose at anything, it would be interesting to see how Madoka would react and possibly how it would impact her in future episodes.
