I’m basically looking for anime where any character can die. Usually, most anime with this trope are horrible. I feel like the only good one is Chainsaw Man. Are there any others?

    Shows with time loop content, like Re:Zero and Steins;Gate, can rack up quite high body counts (and then nullify them an episode or two down the line—does it count if the characters don’t stay dead?)

    Texhnolyze might or might not qualify (high body count, IIRC yes, but maybe too odd to be considered good). Some other older violence-heavy stuff like Black Lagoon, maybe.

      I don’t know why I enjoyed Texhnolyze so much, but its oddity was a part of it. I barely remember it but the moustache guy I remember being a great character.
