I'm not saying Tatsumi should have let Aria live - I'm just saying that I don't find it believable that he dealt with killing a human so easily. In reality, he would have been pretty traumatized, at least for a while. But then again, he dealt with Sayo and Ieyasu's death pretty quickly too.

And yeah, Wave is somewhat naive but if he were the MC, he could have had an interesting character development and become, well, less naive over time. And Ran's investigation of Wild Hunt could have been a potentially interesting subplot, but instead it all happened off-screen. I already talked about how all Jaegers so far died with their biggest regrets, and Ran's demise in indeed very tragic (which makes me like it even more).
