About the talk of being dark, serious, etc. or such, people really need to learn to separate personal preference (inculding how being nostalgic is inherently bias) to actual quality. Being lighthearted or gloomy is just some of the directions can be taken when writing a story. And it depends on people's ability or effort to make compelling writing, no matter what direction they took. If someone doesn't like more lighthearted stuff, maybe the series isn't for them, but doesn't mean those lighthearted series can be instantly deemed as bad, or denying its merits (especially if there are others who love them). In addition to that, also don't use certain series to describe the story type as a whole like, deeming lighthearted as bad due to Ghost or bleakness as good due to Build.

Yuka has more featured kills than any of the show's villains
, and the audience still thinks she's good.
It's quite inherent if a major character is the one who got killed, it'd evoke more emotion from the audience, being connected with them for long. The problem would be if the atrocity of those villains are downplayed/ignored if the victims are nameless minor characters, thus they're seen as 'fine' because it has no effect on the audience. But Yuka only killed bad guys (like bullies, etc.), so she's still good for that, though her resorting to killing is extreme and can reduce points in her morality, not clean-cut good but still good (as in her general behavior outside of killing bad guys).
