That anime that wakes up to violence each day. The story is actually pretty good. there is an evil empire on top of the land and and re-pressed people everywhere. A group of assassins called Night Raid set out to overthrow the Imperial rulers. The main character Tatsumi joins them after discovering how corrupt the Imperial city is. The whole rebelion vs motherfucker government thing is a good idea..... yahh just not an original idea. It is a story that has been told more times than I can count, but done correctly it can be just as great. In fact watching where the anime is going, is about where I thought it would. But then the show starts screaming one word over and over again: DEATH. this is a joke. Every five minutes someone in the anime is like: “heyy Watch out you can get yourself killed.” or “Assassin‘s can‘t last.”. Yooo bro ok ok I get it. chill bro chill. the anime is so obsessed with dying that when people actually start dying.... I was completely numb. Like imagine someone walking up to you for 6 episodes straight saying: “Hello. Someone will die.” Then it finally happens and your brain just goes: oh my god.....sad..... The shock factor just totally drops off the edge of the world because the show was way too gay warning you about it every chance it got. So when many characters died I was just sitting there like: Sure... So who’s next?. Chelsea was the only death that really had an impact on me. and not because i was emotionally distraught or anything. Her death was just horrible. One of the most gruesome deaths in the entire anime. Chelsea was the assassin with the Teigu mask of taking her body shape to deceive the opponent. Honestly although my favorite anime is one of my least favorites in the way it dealt with people‘s deaths. Out of all the deaths that happened I found hers to be the most disturbing. The other commands? mostly more “ok”. Just one more thing I actually had an issue with was the art style and animation. This anime came out in 2014 however at times I could honestly see something that resembled the animation from 2009 or 2010. Good, but nothing out of the ordinary. and for some reason, sometimes the animation used throughout certain scenes does look a little strange. Especially when people are killed, it looks really unnatural, or for some action sequences the movements just kind of don‘t happen naturally. Even fights werent so great. Honestly the only fight that really stood out to me was: Akame vs Esdeath. That was the funnest and fiercest one to date. And most of the rest of the fights, were just… fine. Not bad, but nothing phenomenal. Now here is one thing the writer absolutely succeeded at: Get me to want to kill certain characters. Wow... Some of these guys are so damn annoying I wanna belt them. For me the worst offenders were: Esdeath and Seryu and Kurome. I can see how popular they are to some people, but as for me, I wasn‘t so fond of them. They were much too annoying to watch. Seryu the little bitch with her mad obsession with (justice), and yet she was such a bitch. But the anime did have characters I genuinely liked: Chelsea and Sheele and Lubbock and Mine. Along with being the most interesting or most likable characters for me. They had personality, they had presence and the show was more enjoyable. As for the ending it was....... ok. Inadequate. Not too bad, if you ask me. but it is Just.....acceptable. The music didn‘t really do much for me either. The opening theme and the ending theme weren‘t anything I was going to remember. But one of its strengths is that of it‘s violence and guts. The violence in the show is pretty harsh and it actually feels right in harmony with the dark story. Akame ga Kill is an unforgiving and brutal world, and they don‘t gloss over it. but heyyy it was fun to look at. I enjoyed, I loved, I appreciated to see it. But its most definitely not a work of art. An anime that I think has the great idea and fun characters..has chaos but..something to hold it back.. Is just funny though.
