That's true I suppose but generally with character relationships the impact generally feels the same either way. vs if it's like a character death then 100% it hits less. Like I was guarded for your lie in april so it didn't hit nearly as hard. Meanwhile Violet Evergarden destroyed me.
maybe we should recommend a show were they end with the most predictable character, but because op was waiting for something unpredictable, the most predictable becomes the least predictable
