In my dictionary, yes.<br />
Edgy is often associated with the word unreasonable.<br />
Lets use FZ as example.<br />
1. Why did Caster kill all those chuldren? He kill them without any particular reason. <br />
2. Why did Kiritsugu start killing people? His dream is to be superhero and killing even innocent people is not how you become one.<br />
3. Why does Kariya kill Tokiomi wifes? Its one of the most unreasonable scene in FZ.<br />
<br />
For me, edgy is &#039;usually&#039; bad.
<br />
<br />
For number 2 were you paying attention to the show?...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Only your first point can be considered edgy but Fate/zero as a whole is more mature/dark rather than edgy.
Its called edgy for a reason, the moment he come to a conclusion that killing people is the answers, he become edgelord in that instant.
He though that sacrifice is needed to help people? Of course it is! But you know what? Human Life is not the only fucking sacrifice that is exist to help people, if he want to be a superhero, why not start to actually helping people instead of "killing 100 people for the sake of 200 people"?
And he did kill innocent people, he is wanted for abusing magic iirc.

2. What trigger? Trigger to kill the person he love the most? His frustation is toward Zouken and Tokiomi, not toward that girl. He kill her just because in the spur of a moment without any particular reason.

Too bad edgy anime rarely are executed properly (Tokyo Ghoul, Akame Ga Kill, Mirai Nikki etc)
When the source material doesn't leave much room for failure, it turns out like that. Mirai Nikki and AgK are both pretty awful manga. I didn't get to read TG past chapter 65-70 since Crunchyroll came around and started waving its dick around, so I can't say much about it.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I don't see how Fate/Zero is edgy.

If Fate/Zero is the epitome of edge, the whole Natsuverse should be called edgy instead.

OT: Depends on the series and execution.

His conclusion isn't unreasonable at all so it can't be considered edgy.

If he doesn't kill the villains, they will end up killing innocent people. I don't see how he can save people without killing. Unless ofc you are saying he should simply cleanup after the mess that is caused by the the villain and be a humanitarian or some crap. But I doubt Kiritsugu would think thats a better way of saving people, since his method would prevent much more deaths than simply waiting for victims to show up for saving.
Also where is it stated that he is wanted for abusing magic?.... because from what I read the magic association still hires him, they don't pursue him or anything. There is nowhere stated that he killed innocent people

as for 2. I don't remember the exact detail of the scene but he was pretty broken already when he entered the church, I only have faint memory that the woman said something ticked him off when she entered the church. Also, she isn't dead.

dark
if he was in an anime that talks about a magical battle royale or something instead of him and started raping girls then it'd be edgy

Nope. While edginess is normally a bad thing, it can be used to benefit a series when presented right. As other have mention, hellsing is a perfect example of this. The show honestly wouldn't be quite as fun if it weren't for all the over the top violence and buckets of gore poured on every action scene. None of it's at all necessary and it does nothing to really add to story,art, etc., but it adds to the series charm due to how silly it is. It's the same idea behind most slasher films. Alternatively, there's cases like Fate/Zero where it has it's needlessly edgy, but it's used sparingly and genuinely makes the scenes that are, more effective. In both of these cases though, the series had substance to them besides this, which is what it comes down too. That and how it's presented.

It ultimately depends on the show and how it uses its "edgy" content. Something like Hellsing Ultimate builds itself around being extreme and over the top and thus the insane amount of gore feels natural. However, if a show tries to be serious by showcasing extreme content at every given opportunity it fails as it is then hard to take the show seriously (eg: Mirai Nikki, Tokyo Ghoul). It comes off as try-hard and exploitative.

That being said a serious show which balances out its edgy content, handles it maturely and in a realistic way can still be taken seriously (eg: Texhnolyze, Berserk et al).

I think that should be the definitions for the two terms. They are currently being flung around as ways to denounce an anime or praise its maturity, something I believe should be changed.

True

The mango is terrible too but the adaptation and its even more appalling sequel really takes the terribleness to a whole new level
