Which anime actually have important characters die?
Realistic timing of deaths is something I want to find. The only example I can think of is Naruto, but they have so few deaths compared to the number of actual characters. All the shows with death incorporated always has the characters revive somehow. Having every single character die is also bad like what *some* shows do.
Gurren Lagann has one of its most prominent character died in the first half of the series, and similar thing also happened in most Getter Robo series.
Same goes with Madoka Magica, where some of its main casts also died throughout the series.
Several Gundam shows also had these kind of moments, like First Gundam, 0083, 00, AGE, and the infamous Iron-Blooded Orphans.
Some Macross series were also like this, where there are prominent characters that died in midway of the series.
Gurren Lagann. Basilisk. Karas. Gintama but you wont get to see it until like the 500 episode. One Piece but you wont get to see it until like the 700 episode. Wolf Children. Akira. Witch Blade. Fatal Fury The Motion Picture. The Guyver. Blassreiter.
