So, is this going to be the season of let's kill off /r/anime's favorite female characters?

Title Spoiler is/was pretty twisted too in this aspect...

u/Paxton-176 Aug 19 '16

Yeah it is.

But I was thinking of

Wait.. Of all the anime currently airing (not that there are many gritty and dark anime currently airing, but... y'know what I mean), it's this one that kills off characters? Is this a fucking joke? I'm not the kind of dude that thinks death = good, but I'm intrigued by this. I'd never expect such an anime to do this.

u/Paxton-176 Aug 19 '16

Did you drop it early? There are deaths

u/zenoob https://anilist.co/user/zenoob Aug 19 '16

KEK. Yeah, I dropped it after one episode. I usually watch the first episode of something that even remotely interests me and then, if I feel the need or the desire to watch it, I'll just keep on watching. If I feel like not watching it would change nothing, I just drop it.

So yeah. Never expected that from this anime. Maybe I'll keep on watching then, just to see how far things go

One episode normally isn't enough, that this why the three episode rule exists. It is also one of those shows that presents itself as something done before then switches a small part of it.

Looking a the most recent thread seems that the people watching aren't hating on it.

the three episode rule exists

Common practice more than rule. A rule can still be enforced to some extent.

I'd have to agree with our good old DigiBro on this point. One episode is usually enough to determine whether or not I might enjoy an anime.

I'm not always right, but I often don't feel like I've missed much by not watching the anime that I've dropped after one episode. Sure they might be enjoyable, but unless they don't stick out a lot like say Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, I won't feel bad for not finishing it.

On top of that, this twist of sort should be good enough not to feel shallow, like deaths in Akame ga Kill, which confuses death and depth. Death is good, but there has to be a point behind it, some weight. I just hope it is the case with the anime you mentionned. Might pick it back up at some point. Not too sure though. I might not have the possibilty to even finish this season of anime anyway...

Three episodes is a practice, but a majority refers to it as a rule, since it gives an anime a good chance to show what its going to be about rather than that open episode where it is more for introductions that a plot set up.

I think Digibro's method is typically correct on anime originals, but it doesn't work when there's a less competent director working on an adaptation of a much more competent source material (manga, LN, or otherwise). The director's vision could be very off in the first episode and not be able to demonstrate the quality of the source material in time.

If I dropped shows after one episode I would be watching like three shows a season. Everyone has their own system.

From the shows you listed; I will recommend Qualidea Code, Masou Gakuen is "saving" anime (but it isn't for everyone), Ange Vierge is a rabbit hole everyone still watching wants to see where it leads, and I'm not watching Hatsukoi Monster.

You'll be very, very wrong on that. Even the main characters don't have plot armor in the Alderamin LN.

Ah, I apologize then.

It was a bit of a shock for us watchers too. Turns out it's way grimmer that the first episodes made us expect.

I assume it's like Cross Ange from what i read in this thread, in terms of character deaths.
