Anime isn't even safe from mostly-pointless, gratuitous killing.
In Patlabor the Movie 3, we eventually find out that a creature- Test #XIII- is loose in Tokyo.
By the bay, a couple is going into Club Babylon.
The woman sees something strange going on with the car next to them...
Oh- it's got some bodies in it!
Ouch.
As we find out later, the creature attacked the Car and killed them...but left it otherwise intact.
When you see the creature later, that seems...unlikely.
What did this killing give us for the Story?
It eventually helps them track the beast, since they figure out that the type of sound coming from the Club drew it near.
Did we need them killed for that though? Nope.
Next time, another pair of deaths come shortly after this. Given the setup you now have, you know it won't be pretty. Stay tuned...
