I think the reason that didn't bother me as much as this did is because with Madoka Magica, I was actually EXPECTING everyone to die in it.

I wasn't sure who would die first or who would die in which order, but if it was a show so focused on being as dark, violent and depressing as possible; you'd pretty much expect that anyone (even your favorites) could die. You wouldn't feel disappointed on that regard.

That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime on the other hand looks like it's meant to be a FUN anime where all of your main characters would not get killed off for the majority of the series.

Granted characters CAN die and they're perfectly allowed, but it depends on what genre it's supposed to be, how it's timed, and how it's advertised.

If it's a dark/violent/depressing anime from start to finish, then killing off anybody would totally fit regardless of how they're advertised. But if your anime is meant to be an action-packed fantasy (with a touch of fanservice) first and a tearjerker second, then it would only make you question why that female lead is advertised as if she was the love interest/secondary protagonist if she was only meant to die.

I'm sorry if that sounds confusing, but that's probably because my feelings on this are rather complicated.
