Why people wish the MC died=good anime???

It's not always exactly true but having some of important characters dying usually increase the tension and the risk the protagonists have to go through in their journey. Either that or it can also be a milestone for a protagonist to change (it can be a change into either a better character or worse), it can give a character a motivation for going into vengeful path for example, or if the one who is dying is a mentor character usually the protagonist will be maturing up.

Having characters dying doesn't always means it is good story. But it can provide a good point to move the plot and tension of the story. It can be a good plot device if it's used properly.

But I don't think this is the case of Qualidea Code,in fact,I still don't understand why Carina die in the first place.

Cryarc said:


It simply means that they handled her death rather poorly. It's supposed to be a reminder for other characters that it's a war and somebody can die, and it served as a point that changed the happy go lucky tone in the beginning of the series into a darker tone. This kind of plot device was also used in MadoMagi, from simple magical girls into darker series full of desperation magical girls.

It's worth noting that they develop this anime series in a rush with extrenely limited time constraint compared to normal series so it's kinda normal that the quality is so-so or dropping as the episode goes.

Swordarc said:
Oh I see.The rush is the result of the first 3 episodes wasted,the first 3 episodes are completely pointless and they should use the time for a better place.

They weren't pointless - they were characters introductions

Swordarc said:
only little in my opinion.It introduces a little bit about Ichiya over-confidence but mostly just arguing on little things,like who are responsible for the broken bridge,like who cares?

Also,you get a swimming episode.

Swordarc said:

I just want to point out that the beginning is unnecessary.
Arguments and swimming episode shouldn't be appear in just the beginning episodes,they should focus on introduction of characters and story mainly.
