Idk, but I know what character death made me watch the rest of the series that I would stop otherwise.
It's Tuvix ofc.

Uhhhggg that one anime with the two brothers and the mechs with drills.

I could not handle when sunglasses bro died. He was literally the only reason I liked that show, which I know is kind of the point because the little bro doesn't even like his own show when his brother is gone, but fuck!

Couldn't do it, man.

Sora. The last (latest?) entry of the kingdom hearts series was a slog of pointless, elongated, wish fulfillment cutscenes. It wasn’t his “death” that made me uninterested in whatever the future brings, but it did provide an easy out.

There's an anime in its 3rd season right now, that when a character death from the manga happens... I'll stop watching soon after. Does that count?

Jake, from the Dark Tower. Not because of Jake, but because of Oy. 😭😭😭

It didn't stop me watching the show, but in Batwoman S2 when Oshun kills the manipulative psychologist in such a petty asshole-ish way, it just ruined so much intrigue for me and I stopped caring about him as a character.

The show had a lot of other problems, and pivoting into ACAB drivel (oh but its private security being criticized not cops so its totally different lolololol) really made me want to give up. But S3 dialled up the sapphic angst so I was determined to get that far.

Then it got cancelled anyway. So I guess killing off half the interesting characters made everyone stop watching it anyway.p

There was a fairly decent martial arts manhwa called Bowblade.

Tap for spoilerThey introduced a female love interest pretty deep into the story. She was the first character who was openly and unconditionally supportive of the main character. Unusually, they immediately progressed their relationship, got married, and had a child.

Of course this beacon of hope and warmth only existed to cause trauma. A terrible bad guy kidnapped her, against the advice of literally every other character. He tortured her to extremes only possible in a fantasy novel, then she died in the hero’s arms.

Awful writing. Just awful.

killing Jamie in Top Boy showed that the writers had no fucking clue how to tie the show up neatly

He should have died under that dumpster.
