I may find a scattered few Tumblr things which I want to preserve (and honestly probably should have crossposted) here. Here are some from my fangirling over Gen Urobuchi tag. He's the guy that did Fate/Zero and Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Aldnoah.Zero and Saya no Uta and Psycho-Pass and basically everything I love; "nicknamed Urobutcher by his fans, Urobuchi's works often contain dark and nihilistic themes, tragic plot twists, and heavy usage of gore" (Wikipedia).
Favorite example of Fate/Zero light novel v. anime: Ryuunosuke's death.
(The beautiful mess that is the relationship between Kiritsugu, Kirei, Gilgamesh, Tokiomi, Kariya, Maiya, Irisviel, Saber, Aoi is even better, and the ending with the Grail is the very bestest, but Ryuunosuke's death makes a nice single scene.)
Anime scene here; LN scene and blather below the cut.( Gore TW. )

As always, taking forever-too-long to get to important stories by favorite storytellers, but: I played Saya no Uta. ( Saya no Uta gets general TW for gore and loli, but they're only obliquely mentioned here. )
( How Urobuchi writes plots and fosters consumer engagement )

How wicked and terrible Saya is.
Perhaps others fear and loathe her. I, however, find her malevolence irresistibly charming.
