That shit was beyond stupid. Would have made more sense to bring back Lockon as some brainwashed cyborg than to waste time with New Lock's shitty subplot where he randomly falls in love with the skittle bitch.

Symphogear, I think.
Gunam IBO has a few good ones, if you don't mind some variation to the formula. If there's one thing I can give that show, it's pretty impactful character deaths, coupled with well-timed ED cues.
And Best Girl of the year so far.

I swear Code Geass did this at least once.

Orga when he isn't in his punished mode is also good.
