Yes they did. Cheers! No one dies like they’re supposed to. Haruka should’ve died, but Azusa, Chihaya, and all the iDols died, so that’s okay. Miki was aborted. Arguably, Setsuna F. Seiei could’ve died. Lockon Stratos (the Niel) should’ve died again to create a meme about Lockon(s) sucking ass at piloting a robot designated for sniping. Kurz Weber supposedly died and he was the sniper pilot. Mu La Flaga should’ve died, but he came back as a weird gay mask man because Sunrise is a pussy when it comes to definitively killing someone, and they needed a new mask man. Ozma should’ve died (in the same manner as Mu), but he didn’t, because pineapple cake saved his life; Michael died though, so pathos points for him and Klan Klang (great name). NUNALLY SHOULD’VE DIED. It would’ve made R2 if Nunally died– think of the effect it would have on LeLouch’s character!– but Code Geass was done by Sunrise so it’s expected (but Sayoko’s okay, she can survive). Everyone in Bokurano died. Rei 2 died. Everyone and their dogs died in Fafner Left of Right (and I cried when the dog died).
It’s not like I think everyone should die in anime, and I don’t go around killing people off in my head, real or fictional. Quite frankly, my judgment on some of these offings is bad. Anyways, my point is I don’t think everyone should have died.
OH NONOWA! The way Choucho BPM is really cute and orgasmic.
Oh, Chiyoko in Millennium Actress died, I think. Ryoji Kaji (the artist) died in that movie too, for great pathos. Yes, I watched Millennium Actress last night this morning about two weeks before Summer Wars. “Excuse me while I shamelessly pick apart this wonderful movie in the name of shitty literary comparison” is what I should say. But I won’t.
But seriously, when people die in anime, I dunno whether to cry or say “Oh shit!” Depends on how they die. When Sakae died in Summer Wars I cried, and when I watched it again I teared up (and cried later, but tears of happiness). When the dog died in Left of Right I cried. When Daisuke died in Bokurano, I bawled shit. That sounds nasty, but I cried. When it’s just a battle anime, with no underlying or overarching claim to emotional turmoil, I say Oh Shit! When the latter is present I cry, or I try to cry. I didn’t cry at Millennium Actress, because I was dumb and spoiled the ending for myself. I’m just a huge crybaby, soz. I used to cry at the end of movies a lot, when I was a kid. Lol, I know, but hey, I guess I’m just a sucker for really corny things.
Three posts in a day. That clears up my queue. It’s annoying, having to edit posts for continuity issues.
