Episode number 4 of Grimgar was rather dramatic. I like it. All those flags though.

[Flying Dice]

TBH Grimgar has waved so many death flags that I'm not sure who's going to die unless I spoil myself.

[Jopax]

Well this one was like, outright said. Then it kinda happened shortly afterwards. Still, I think it was pretty well done, wondering where they go with this now since it isn't something I was expecting, atleast not this soon into the season.

Edit:

And before I forget. I really like their use of music and montages here. They might be overly sappy at times but it's generally a nice thing as a wind down of an episode, I just hope they don't go overboard with it, since it'd get old if every episoded ended like that.

[Reelya]

Killing off a named character around episode 4 is actually really clever. That gives you a few eps to show the character as an integral part of the team, so the death has some meaning. And it keeps you guessing from then on. You no longer have the security of knowing all the characters are going to survive every encounter: nobody is indispensable and every fight could see another character kick the bucket.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, you never know when someone might lose their head.

Ep 15 of Utawaremono: tFF.
It got less harem-y and more tactical, but I'm disliking the main more and more.
I think it's meant to be a "war is hell" thing but it honestly just makes him seem like a massive coward.

Yeah, I'm bothered by how well that works despite the fact that it's completely meaningless. Attack on Titan does this well enough that people are convinced that anyone important ever actually dies in it.

The only important characters who've ever died have been friggin villains AFAIK.

High five! Anyone? Don't leave me hanging!

I've noticed this with Game of Thrones and Claymore; GoT is brutal but not nearly as bad as the memes make it out to be, while Claymore's got no spine whatsoever but still gets described as "Anyone Can Die" or similar nonsense.

Though oddly, I've never heard of anything like that for FMA, despite having the stones to kill off two major, popular characters.

Did Hannes count as important?

Spoiler: Still manga (click to show/hide)

No, he never did anything at all of consequence. The only important characters right now that I can think of are Erin, Mikasa, Armin, Bertolt, Reiner, Ymir, Annie, Historia, Hange, Levi and maybe Erwin. I was actually damn impressed when an earlier chapter made it look like Hange had died, but she didn't, goddamn, that was some One Piece-level crap to survive too. One Piece has the excuse of basically nobody dying ever, except moms.

You mean aside from saving Erin and Mikasa when the first gate was destroyed?

Unrelated to any of the above, lately I've been having the strangest itch to create an AMV. Considering that I have virtually no video editing experience, just how inadvisable is this?

That's the only thing. This is exactly what I mean: a character does one thing or has some quirk and that somehow makes them important.

Wait, do people actually think that character was important? His entire purpose was literally just "go here, run around a bit, get eaten". I can't even remember his name.

[Tack]

I've never tried to make an AMV but they sound like months of work.
Could still be fun though.
