Honestly it kind of didn't.

The Magia was already stated by the show to be a robot/android, and it was in it's armored state for the shooting, so there's almost no "human" element connected to they death. What's more, the director was careful enough to not actually show the bullet going into the Magia's head, but just Jin pulling the trigger and the Magia collapsing.

So while yes it was dark, it still isn't much compared to showing a human character being realistically killed off like Kusaka's neck snap.
