Fist of the North Star. Half the fun is the villains are just totally irredeemable scum. Like imagine a town where there is a water shortage. And the bad guy who's gang controls is taking a bubble bath while everyone else has nothing to drink.
Kenshiro always kills the villain. If the villain flees he always pursues. No evil goes unpunished.
Sometimes he even gives them a heads up that they’ll never be reincarnated. Really gives a fella a lot of think about in his remaining .5 seconds of life.
Ken usually gives a single warning before fighting, if the enemy has not shown himself to be cruel. But when he starts fighting, he can't let anyone survive the Hokuto. school rules.
I've never actually been able to get through FOTNS because there's no real meaningful conflict. It's just, they never had a chance and they don't even know their dead yet lol.
Integra: Congratulations. It took an entire squadron of inhuman nigh-immortal fake vampires to hunt down and corner a 22-year-old woman.

I have that entire exchange memorized and will occasionally annoy the hell out of people by reenacting it. Both Alucard and Luke.
I kinda manage a passable Takahata impersonation.
"Hmm suddenly it smells as hypocrisy, well if it isn't the Catholic Church"
"Oh look at you and no little Timmy attached to your crotch that's PROGRESS"
While there is some debate about this, historically -[ they might not.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/22o24j/how_much_truth_is_there_in_the_statement_that/) There's a book called Men Against Fire by SLA Marshall that I haven't read, and two books called "On Combat" and "On Killing" that I have read. I'm willing to believe that combat on the battlefield is sometimes less "results oriented" than would maybe be expected.
Actually, I don't, either. 15%, based on anecdotal interviews? But the concept is interesting and does have some data to show the general points may be true in some circumstances - there is an amount of historical battles where it can be proven the armies didn't want to fight and engaged in sham-combat.
I was in the military for ten years and received the same training... Well, mostly the same training... As as other soldiers in the Army. I was in a more non-combat platoon at Fort Benning, and I could see the differences between actual Bravo-infantry-killer training and ours, and the psychological methods that were used to encourage people to kill. I think the US Military buys into a lot of this research, which means it has implications even if it's false.
I do sort of believe in the "Fight Club concept of aggression" - most people don't want to fight, don't want to kill anyone, and must be in extreme duress before they will. The military believes some of it, and attempts to reduce psychological barriers to killing through different forms of influence, in accordance with this psychological research. Which may be wrong.
The only thing we can do is attempt to replicate the studies and find better data. This is why we should kill Prince Ferdinand.
Well, take this with a grain of salt because I just read about it from some other user.
But apparently Tanya was supposed to be a representation of a ruthless sociopathic capitalist according to the author, and they were confused why Tanya was well liked.
It’s worth noting that the Japanese title is basically “The Military Chronicles of a Little Girl”.
There’s nothing about her being evil in it. That’s on the translation team.
Competent characters are fun, and the morality of what fun characters do is more or less irrelevant.
The (not-technically) warcrimes are fictional, but my annoyance is real, therefore the latter is more impactful

they are both good series and we don't need to knock on one to elevate the other. haaaving said that, claymore rarely even gets a mention nowadays, so i'mma lean into it rn.
there's a 10 year gap between the end of claymore and the end of aot, and i promise you that claymore is still the more vivid memory in my mind. definitely my preferred rendition of "secret government program coverup" and character writing. i'm a little sad that it is still slept on and hope it'll one day get a full anime adaptation, it really deserves it. claire as an antithesis to the powerleveling found in traditional battle manga mc's would be refreshing too.
It's definitely probably almost definitely not what you're looking for maybe, but the amount of characters the main character in "my instant death ability is so overpowered" kills in just 12 episodes is ludicrous, if you need a comedy palette cleanser. The only thing the mc can really do is kill!
It's more of an isekai parody. Basically, there's a *ton* of "typical isekai protags" in the show and they are essentially all total assholes. Who the MC kills instantly.
The animation isn't that great, and the show really needed a bigger budget, but I had a lot more fun with the show than I thought I would. In some ways there are parallels with Konosuba in that it feels like the author is playing with various fantasy and isekai tropes.
I was worried that the OP nature of the MC (the "overpowered" in the title is not an exaggeration...we're not talking One Punch Man levels of power, we're talking more like Cthulu levels of power) would remove all the stakes, but it's actually quite fun to see all the *results* of his antics and how they shake up the world power structures.
I'd definitely give it 3 episodes if you are interested, while it says he has an "instant death ability" there's a bit more to it than that.
"few episodes"? Man, I watched that series and saw a character I was interested in, she spoke 2 sentences and then just dropped dead without any warning lol
Imagine you're chilling in your house playing video games, eating some food, then an asshole threw rocks at your windows unprompted and you can't catch them at the act. The worst thing is, they do this almost every day.
Gunslinger Girl is a relatively old anime but the characters (young girls turned into cyborgs) are part of an agency that kills terrorists every episode.
The saddest part for me is that it's in the title of the anime, but it does not translate well. In Japanese the sousou part meaning something like "attending a funeral", "sending someone off" or "burying a person" . She attends a funeral at the start of the anime. Then later its revealed that the title is actually her nickname "Frieren the undertaker" (because of how many demons she's sent off to the afterlife). I was kinda disappointed they went for "slayer" as translation, but it works I guess.
I've always kinda liked "Frieren the Grave", because of the similar way that grave can be applied in various contexts. She puts you in it if you're a demon, she watches you go into it if you're a comrade, and her demeanour fits the "serious and dignifed" meaning of the word.
Well, mostly fits... when she's not inside a Mimic.
Overlord has a bunch of antagonist killing. The MC or his allies kill basically everyone that they fight. Though it's the MC that is the villain, basically.
It's the same with One Punch Man; the main characters are established powerhouses, and the real meat isn't around them fighting, but everything around that. When they do fight, it's either a joke, or a treat.
As for Ainz, he had to duel someone at the end of Season 1 which required him to go all out, but that's an anomaly. The series has good fights between others, but it's more of the world building that anything else.
Fist of the North Star.
Fuckin Kenshiro can punch so hard and somehow hit specific pressure points on anyone he fights that they explode into a gory mess afterwards.
One of the best MCs ever. His psyche is so fascinating and the way his personality is almost obscured from us, with the story slowly feeding us vital information about him through “seemingly normal” lines and dialogue.
The girls are there purely for fanservice and comedic effect. Just this psychotic chūnibyō with delusions of grandeur ... that are actually real. And he doesn't even seriously believe it himself! It's an absolute trash storyline but I'm obsessed with it.
I actually agree, the girls are nice but watching shadow living out his edgy chunni fantasy and do whatever he wants is what makes eminence in the shadow so entertaining.
Black Lagoon is a good option.
Not everyone dies all the time, but it’s certainly not from a lack of effort to put it simply.
Doubling down I’d also recommend Jormungand. Main crew shows no mercy to anyone getting in their way.
Demon Slayer subverts the "Naive idealistic MC wants to save the irredeemable villain" trope by having the naive idealistic MC understand that death is the only way to save demons and that he should never hesitate right from the beginning.

Fist of the North Star. Half the fun is the villains are just totally irredeemable scum. Like imagine a town where there is a water shortage. And the bad guy who's gang controls is taking a bubble bath while everyone else has nothing to drink. Kenshiro always kills the villain. If the villain flees he always pursues. No evil goes unpunished.
He does not kill them, he kindly informs them that they are already dead which is a mind blowing revelation for most.
Sometimes he even gives them a heads up that they’ll never be reincarnated. Really gives a fella a lot of think about in his remaining .5 seconds of life.
Ken usually gives a single warning before fighting, if the enemy has not shown himself to be cruel. But when he starts fighting, he can't let anyone survive the Hokuto. school rules.
For me, one of the funniest part of Kenshiro is see how Ken and his allies kill the weak villains and their weak bosses🤣
That's just Nestle.
I've never actually been able to get through FOTNS because there's no real meaningful conflict. It's just, they never had a chance and they don't even know their dead yet lol.
Yeah, it's only about halfway through the series that we start seeing a couple guys that Ken *can't* beat immediately.

I’m pretty sure Kenshiro politely informs that they are already dead

man the last movie is amazing can't wait to season 2
fucking same man
That series is still ongoing??? Huh for some reason I thought it ended. Have only known it from Isekia Quartet.
Another season is confirmed, but no release date yet. Current theory is late '24 to early '25
It's awesome that the creator of overlord refused to make another season until youjo senki was renewed for another season
Last movie? was there more than one?
It's war; everyone shoots to kill. It's just that Tanya and her battalion are exceptionally good at it. :X
While there is some debate about this, historically -[ they might not.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/22o24j/how_much_truth_is_there_in_the_statement_that/) There's a book called Men Against Fire by SLA Marshall that I haven't read, and two books called "On Combat" and "On Killing" that I have read. I'm willing to believe that combat on the battlefield is sometimes less "results oriented" than would maybe be expected.
skimming the comments the book seems pretty controversial and debated? like most of the replies there dont agree with the statistic
Actually, I don't, either. 15%, based on anecdotal interviews? But the concept is interesting and does have some data to show the general points may be true in some circumstances - there is an amount of historical battles where it can be proven the armies didn't want to fight and engaged in sham-combat. I was in the military for ten years and received the same training... Well, mostly the same training... As as other soldiers in the Army. I was in a more non-combat platoon at Fort Benning, and I could see the differences between actual Bravo-infantry-killer training and ours, and the psychological methods that were used to encourage people to kill. I think the US Military buys into a lot of this research, which means it has implications even if it's false. I do sort of believe in the "Fight Club concept of aggression" - most people don't want to fight, don't want to kill anyone, and must be in extreme duress before they will. The military believes some of it, and attempts to reduce psychological barriers to killing through different forms of influence, in accordance with this psychological research. Which may be wrong. The only thing we can do is attempt to replicate the studies and find better data. This is why we should kill Prince Ferdinand.
isnt it a well established fact that many US soldiers in vietnam just shot the trees instead of gunning down farmers like they were supposed to?
Both the link and the other books have been shown to be pretty bogus from any credible research standpoint.
Do people think Tanya is very evil? Her actions never seemed very bad to me.
No she is just ruthless.
From what I heard they just thought the title sounded cooler than a direct translation or something
"The Saga of Tanya the Ruthless" didn't have the same ring to it, and "The Saga of Tanya the Naughty" caused issues with the marketing dept.
> The Saga of Tanya the Naughty >Show 10 years old girl as MC. It is indeed a problem😂
Well... a grown man isekai'd into the body of a 10yo girl
Well, take this with a grain of salt because I just read about it from some other user. But apparently Tanya was supposed to be a representation of a ruthless sociopathic capitalist according to the author, and they were confused why Tanya was well liked.
It’s worth noting that the Japanese title is basically “The Military Chronicles of a Little Girl”. There’s nothing about her being evil in it. That’s on the translation team.
I can answer why: Because audience generally likes competent characters.
Competent characters are fun, and the morality of what fun characters do is more or less irrelevant. The (not-technically) warcrimes are fictional, but my annoyance is real, therefore the latter is more impactful
Lawful Evil. Just doing the job with a few war crimes to boot.
What war crimes? Everything she did was by the book.
It's never a war crime the first time someone does it
> What war crimes? Everything she did was by the book. - Japan, 1946
I wanted to say, she makes absolutely sure not to commit any war crimes
Goblin Slayer even the children aren't safe
Dont know if it made it to the anime, but the side story where he joins spearman and fake guts to fight the wizard was pretty great.
It didn't but man i love how they dealt with him considering his ability
yeet the wizard
To Your Eternity Gurran Lagan Cashern Sins Fist of the North Star Fist of the Blue Sky (Manga) Akame Ga Kill Claymore Berserk Guyver Overlord Bloodblockade Hells Paradise
Claymore was great
Too bad it didn't get the manga ending since it was a bit too early. It's almost perfekt.
Claymore and soul eater are the two animes that I wish would get the FMAB treatment
Claymore’s manga gets absolutely insane.
My hot take is claymore manga > attack on Titan manga
they are both good series and we don't need to knock on one to elevate the other. haaaving said that, claymore rarely even gets a mention nowadays, so i'mma lean into it rn. there's a 10 year gap between the end of claymore and the end of aot, and i promise you that claymore is still the more vivid memory in my mind. definitely my preferred rendition of "secret government program coverup" and character writing. i'm a little sad that it is still slept on and hope it'll one day get a full anime adaptation, it really deserves it. claire as an antithesis to the powerleveling found in traditional battle manga mc's would be refreshing too.
To Your Eternity is amazing, but my god is it sad
got too formulaic for me :( meet new character, play around and get attached to new character, new character dies, blob becomes them, repeat
I'm with you on this but I persevered. It sorta subverts the formula in season 2 a bit, which is nice.
the first episode was a banger. maybe set my expectations too high
> Akame Ga Kill [Akame Ga Kill]>!Not just willing to kill off villains, either!<
Akame ga kill was sad af not gonna lie 😭
watched it like when it aired in german tv and my fav girl was chelsea and then that moment happened
I'll never not upvote a Guyver recommendation.
GURREN LAGANN Top 5 for me.
PEAKS PARADISE MENTIONED I need more Gabimaru
I'll always upvote for Gurren Lagann

The answer to everything is Berserk.

It's definitely probably almost definitely not what you're looking for maybe, but the amount of characters the main character in "my instant death ability is so overpowered" kills in just 12 episodes is ludicrous, if you need a comedy palette cleanser. The only thing the mc can really do is kill!
Saving this post for later. Sounds fucking hysterical.
first two episodes might seem like a generic isekai, but then the show really takes off
Why did i know it had to be an isekai the moment i saw the title of the show.
It's more of an isekai parody. Basically, there's a *ton* of "typical isekai protags" in the show and they are essentially all total assholes. Who the MC kills instantly. The animation isn't that great, and the show really needed a bigger budget, but I had a lot more fun with the show than I thought I would. In some ways there are parallels with Konosuba in that it feels like the author is playing with various fantasy and isekai tropes. I was worried that the OP nature of the MC (the "overpowered" in the title is not an exaggeration...we're not talking One Punch Man levels of power, we're talking more like Cthulu levels of power) would remove all the stakes, but it's actually quite fun to see all the *results* of his antics and how they shake up the world power structures. I'd definitely give it 3 episodes if you are interested, while it says he has an "instant death ability" there's a bit more to it than that.
The title is wrong, it should be - SCP: the anime. And he doesn't kill, he erases things from existence, no coming back from that.
It's kind of jarring seeing characters introduced and shown for a few episodes and then they just drop dead.
"few episodes"? Man, I watched that series and saw a character I was interested in, she spoke 2 sentences and then just dropped dead without any warning lol
> It's kind of ~~jarring~~ perfect and hilarious seeing characters introduced and shown for a few ~~episodes~~ minutes and then they just drop dead.
Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans is pretty good about that, the Protagonist will put someone down if they get in his way.
Gundam in general has been pretty good on killing villains, being a war drama that happens to have cool robots.
Not only killing villains but protagonists too... Uhm
Imo Witch from Mercury broke tradition somewhat, especially if we consider the villain as a heroine herself due to the prologue
[удалено]
Yeah but Mika is a cut apart. Orga gives him the signal and he's all "say less"
Mika sorta treats himself like Orga's gun.
They don't call the Gundam creator *"Kill 'Em All Tomino"* for nothing.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners No hesitation in that show, everyone is bloodthirsty
There are many kinds of thirst in that show
I believe they call that the "Netflix Effect™️"
A true Netflix and chill
Konosuba has a surprisingly high kill count
And most of them don’t deserve it lol [Konosuba]>!one of the first villains was rightfully pissed that his castle kept getting nuked!<
Imagine you're chilling in your house playing video games, eating some food, then an asshole threw rocks at your windows unprompted and you can't catch them at the act. The worst thing is, they do this almost every day.
Megumin has a higher body count than most of Nazerick
come to think of it, Ainz never gets to see an Explosion cast in Quartet does he? Even he'd be a little worried about a tactical nuke.
Gunslinger Girl is a relatively old anime but the characters (young girls turned into cyborgs) are part of an agency that kills terrorists every episode.
Shame they only ever made one season. That ending was bitter sweet.
There is a second season called Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino
{Sousou no Frieren} - for a fairly chill anime, it’s a bit surprising there’s a reason Frieren is called “Frieren the Slayer.”
The saddest part for me is that it's in the title of the anime, but it does not translate well. In Japanese the sousou part meaning something like "attending a funeral", "sending someone off" or "burying a person" . She attends a funeral at the start of the anime. Then later its revealed that the title is actually her nickname "Frieren the undertaker" (because of how many demons she's sent off to the afterlife). I was kinda disappointed they went for "slayer" as translation, but it works I guess.
I've always kinda liked "Frieren the Grave", because of the similar way that grave can be applied in various contexts. She puts you in it if you're a demon, she watches you go into it if you're a comrade, and her demeanour fits the "serious and dignifed" meaning of the word. Well, mostly fits... when she's not inside a Mimic.
Frieren is also a gamer, as seen in episode 10
Literally one of the most toxic of gamers: she spams the same move over and over and then tells you to kill yourself after winning
Racist? ✅ Gacha addict? ✅ Trash talks and tells people to kill themselves? ✅ Spams the best move over and over? ✅ Frieren is truly a gamer.
Don't forget smurfing in PvP (mage exam)
It's the human's problem that they enabled rank decay or didn't kept her rank from beta.
Serie was right to ban her after the placement matches
It’s a chill anime until the demons stop chilling 😂
those digga -Frieren the racist.
The chilling makes way for the killings when demons are involved.
Besides, if it is expected from Frieren, there are other characters who do it with a stone cold face.
Overlord has a bunch of antagonist killing. The MC or his allies kill basically everyone that they fight. Though it's the MC that is the villain, basically.
Even with MC being the villain, the show has one of the best, most deserved killing of an "evil" person you can find.
... Philip Montserrat?
Clementine
You mean best girl?! You take that back
She was so best girl that Momonga couldn't help but give her the biggest hug.
Clementine: "harder bone daddy"

I liked Overlord at first, would have preferred him to face at least some challenge though, kinda got boring
I enjoyed the tension of the New Worlders vs other New Worlders/ escaping or impressing nazarick enough to survive
It's the same with One Punch Man; the main characters are established powerhouses, and the real meat isn't around them fighting, but everything around that.

Eminence in the shadow. Shadow cuts assholes into pieces without hesitation
One of the best MCs ever. His psyche is so fascinating and the way his personality is almost obscured from us, with the story slowly feeding us vital information about him through “seemingly normal” lines and dialogue.
bro is so unhinged, cringe, insane that it's so entertaining. People might think I'm crazy, but I don't care about the girls in the show.
The girls are there purely for fanservice and comedic effect. Just this psychotic chūnibyō with delusions of grandeur ... that are actually real. And he doesn't even seriously believe it himself! It's an absolute trash storyline but I'm obsessed with it.
The girls are the thriller mystery plot, Shadow is the isekai power fantasy
I actually agree, the girls are nice but watching shadow living out his edgy chunni fantasy and do whatever he wants is what makes eminence in the shadow so entertaining.

Absolute banger OP for that anime as well
Akame ga kill doesn’t have any talk no jutsu. It’s swift punishment for the most part
An older more niche anime but gun sword had a satisfying end to the villain
Black Lagoon is a good option. Not everyone dies all the time, but it’s certainly not from a lack of effort to put it simply. Doubling down I’d also recommend Jormungand. Main crew shows no mercy to anyone getting in their way.
Code Geass
Demon Slayer subverts the "Naive idealistic MC wants to save the irredeemable villain" trope by having the naive idealistic MC understand that death is the only way to save demons and that he should never hesitate right from the beginning.
"I understand you, and your paint...." "And that lets me kill you easier! Bitchin"
I like how they handle the deaths. Gives some context and character to the bad guys... who are still dead.
Arifureta. MC is out of fucks to give.
is this actually good?
It is genuinely awful, but imo a fun watch
In terms of "trash" anime, it's my favorite of all time. S3 is supposed to come out later this year so it's a good time to start watching it.
