Most brutal / ruthless anime? Where everyone but the MC is expandable (berserk...)

I was just thinking about Game of Thrones ...

Most of the good ruthless stuff doesn't get anime adaptions D:

and xianxia is more ruthless than Japanese LNs

Summoned Slaughterer (Yobidasa Reta Satsuriku-sha) is pretty ruthless LN
Nidome no Yuusha is ruthless

Warlock of the Magus World is most ruthless Chinese Novel I've read so far; I Shall Seal The Heavens, Martial God Asura, Peerless Martial God, Perfect World, and Wu Dong Qian Kun are ruthless to enemies

maybe elfen lied and akira could count as brutal xD

Brutal/ruthless anime where everyone dies often end up being comedic and downright bad. I don't watch Game of Thrones but the thought of letting a lot of characters die and bring them back to life later on doesn't sound very exciting to me. Deaths in fiction are often used to evoke emotions or for shock value. If deaths happen so often that they are common occurrences your brain becomes accustomed and goes yadayadayada...well, at least mine does. I think the only way for me to care about deaths of a huge number of random characters is when other factors play in, such as a well-written motive for the slaughter. Example: + Show Spoiler [Shinsekai yori spoiler] +
The scene where the two clans slaughter each other and the human sits on the hill and watches. Before and after the battle the commander in chief "reports" in. That was so disgusting, yet so brilliantly written. Still one of my favourite scenes from SSY.


/rant

I glanced over my list only found a few titles that might fit. Hellsing Ultimate would be one. Another..............Elfen Lied. Akame ga Kill (haven't seen that one, just heared things)? I think Kemomozume might count in some way but that one was actually really good. I think that's about it from my side.

Akame ga Kill is pretty brutal but at the same time nothing I'd recommend, it's not that good IMO. But definitely watchable.

Did you guys watch the latest Kabaneri episode? Can't wait for it to end... no idea why it's popular.

At least Sakamoto delivers every week, it's fun and I'll miss it when it's over.

Yeah Kabaneri, lol. I think it's popular because the SnK hype and how it started. Then everbody kept following the show up until now. + Show Spoiler +
At least they killed the MC who will miracously not be dead next episode.


Mayoiga ep12: Finally that shit's over. Solid 2/10. + Show Spoiler +
Had to laugh out loudly at the piggy back scene. MC picked up his pseudo-friend while running, that looked weird. But when the girl pushed from the back, oh my... xD Best guy confessed to Koharun! lel That circus music in the end was the perfect ending for the show. Are you changing the lyrics? That line had too many syllables. Let's execute him! lol

D-frag is alright.
Takao the best.

Sadly i felt like the show ran out of steam towards the end and just became less fun and more stale.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

+ Show Spoiler [Kabaneri] +
Letting him stay dead is probably the best thing they could do for the show in an attempt to salvage what's left of it.


At this point Kabaneri is even worse than Mayoiga. The latter at least had no positive expectations tied to it and it was somewhat funny to see the stupid characters interact with each other in the dumbest way possible.
Kabaneri, on the other hand, is just depressing to watch. It had a somewhat decent setting (albeit unoriginal), a good budget, proper art and pretty much all the hype behind it. Seeing it getting butchered by people who don't seem to understand how to write good characters or dialogue on top of incredibly silly scenes while still demanding to be taken seriously, makes it really hard to watch.

Akame ga Kill is only brutal in the first few episodes. After that it becomes a clusterfuck and people die for no reason aside from trying to shock the audience and for the sake of being able to say "look how brutal we are, everyone dies". The battles make no sense and have no rules that they are following... which is pretty much the worst thing possible for a series that revolves around those battles. Most characters are cringe worthy and the ending flat out sucks. The show simply tried too hard to be edgy.

I think you just described the vast majority of any media.

Anime is largely focused on young adult material which has the writing quality of a hamsters turd. At least the quality transcends cultural barriers as no matter what region or culture you are a part of, the young adult material is always fucking awful.

Sakamoto was good fun again, indeed. In the beginning I never expected this show to become this solid.

Well, my scale goes from 1/10 to 10/10. So it's the second lowest possible. That being said, you might be right and I am too generous.^^

lovepon was criminally underused in the later part of the anime, and i didn't like how she was for the most part lumped together with the crazy guy but she got a great last line so i'm happy with that i guess
