Are for being victorious at the end of the day, not for being killed off halfway through the series.

GRAFAFAFAFARGH.
The problem is, I’m likely to do the same in my own animation shorts =P I always hated the way Disney would kill someone then bring them back (Black Cauldron, anyone? ), or how no-one gets hurt when the protagonist does something absolutely silly, but then has no responsibility for it.
In a way, that means a series is effective in connecting the audience to the character(s) - you’re connected enough to feel either sad or annoyed.
On the other hand, that means half your fanbase doesn’t want to watch the series anymore =P I know I’ve put down a book the instant a favourite character has died once, because said character was my main draw into the story. That was tempting, with this series, but I decided to keep going in case they did do something stupid, like bring the character back from the dead - in which case, it would promptly become unwatchable =P
That’s quite fangirlish, I suppose. Damnit. I don’t want to be a fangirl. Especially as said series happens to be an anime (Death Note, actually), and because of the stupid loud Japanophiles within the fanbase, now everyone that’s ever watched on episode is apparently a Japanophile too.
Also, I never did see the end of the series. I got to episode 28 and then the YouTube Police took the entire series down. Blargle.
Also, I want Paul back. *Grouch* Not that I’d take him away from helping his mam (which is what he’s doing at the moment), but I do miss him.
