Well, I'll take your word on that part about Anakin being heroic and getting along with Obi-Wan. Personally, I've only seen one episode with Anakin in it (two actually, but the second one was pure action with Anakin getting into a duel with that female Sith). The episode leading up to duel showed him dogfighting a fighter and how Obi-Wan was shouting at Anakin through the radio to not follow it through hyperspace. Anakin disobeys this in a, how shall I put it, not precisely firm manner. He bullshits to Obi-Wan about his radio not working (it isn't, but he's lying) and he jumps through hyperspace to chase it.
Before that scene, he just talks about the 'force being with it' and how he has to get after it. I suppose this does give Anakin some justification for having for pursue it to the end, but I would have perfered it if hadn't acted like a jerk in defying Obi-Wan's direct orders in such a manner.
Maybe you can enlighten me about just how the character development takes place in the series. I really don't know, and I personally didn't care one bit for the show.
Look, I agree its not
that great. But here is the justification for my comments.
Whiney bitchy immature anakin massacring sand people then delivering the absolute hands down worst piece of dialogue heard yet (and to be outdone in ROTS?) (Paraphrased b/c i don't give a shit) "I killed them....all of them....and the women...and the children. I hate them. Its all Obi-Wan's fault....he's holding me back" As the start of his fall to the darkside

like i said, i'd take the latter any day because at least we know he's a good pilot and loves a good fight.
I'd take a belligerent Anakin who loves to kick ass a little too much over a confused whiney bitch any friggin day.
