Ah! My Goddess and others:

Winged supernaturals can shed feathers at a rate comperable to a heavy fall of cherry blossems without affecting the appearance of the wings. Especially pertains to opening sequences.

If you're suddenly in the spotlight while usually being on the sidelines, just enjoy yourself. You have about 23 minutes left to live. (22 if you're planning on giving a speech towards the end.)

I thought I'd rather not add any specific title for the risk of spoiling?

But there seems to be an unspoken agreement among writers* that when the supporting character steps into the spotlight, he/she is at critical risk of being gone by the end of the episode.

*Except if you're Urobuchi, of course, than you can just skip the time for teary good-byes completely and have your characters kill each other (or themselves) any way you see fit to torture your audience. Cool

Not trying to spoil anything but spoiler[Angel Beats!] would definitely fit into that category. I think that was more because of the series length though.
