Alex Nichiporuk An 8 out of 10 is an undeserving score for the trainwreck known as Akame ga Kill. The main reasons are simple: Characters and Story.The main protagonist, Tatsumi, is a bland and boring character in both design and personality, to the point where there is no reason to care about him. The beginning is just that when he finds that his two friends are died, didn't care at all. The group known as Night Raid also has characters with no depth and are just stereotypes. It's easier to distinguish them by hair color than anything since they are so worthless. The Yeagers are no different and often have really stupid characters doing stupid things. You have a character who is a sadist, but also falls for Tatsumi, for some reason, as if that's how people work. Justice B**ch is even worse when she has two different personalities that doesn't mesh at all, and that she has to be the worst character I have ever seen in an anime. Everyone else is just comically evil just for the sake of being evil and don't care about any of these people.The writing is definitely its worst points. Not only is this anime terrible at establishing the world, but it often relies on dumb characters doing stupid things in order to move the plot and relies WAY too heavily on magic as a plot device. Even though I find this anime to be trash, one thing I liked was the idea of the main characters facing death, unlike other anime that prevents characters from dying. But it does this a lot and it becomes predictable after you hear their pointless backstory, which doesn't matter since they're dead. This anime also tries to be dark and edgy, but fails miserably to takes itself the least bit seriously.Overall, this anime is nothing good and not something I would recommend to anyone. It's lazy, bland, and overall shallow.
phoenix 2 A nice action packed anime, which had some plot failures, but it was entertaining overall. So, from where should I start? Firstly, the MC was a bit of odd, with his geeky clothes but super cool powers, not to mention a well built body topped by a kid's head. So, that and the fact that there were too many deaths in this one. The blood bathed action scenes were actually good, but there were too many hands gone missing. I mean, why did they have to be only the arms? Then, as a shounen, it had the overly exposed female characters, which didn't interrupt with the plot, but there were too many girls over the boys...Other than that, the universe of this anime was really interesting and the girl MC was super cool. So, 8 out of 10.
swapchanzz this anime makes you feel nothing , just some good fight scenes overall the story is good but the way it is told is really lame and boring . characters: just like every other anime out there characters are filled with cliché , it has an super skilled female lead and amateur male lead who constantly practices and becomes powerful and every other female characters falling for him , i could have digest it really easily but there is no character development as though the makers made this anime in a lot of hurry .. the story is simple about corruption in an empire and has not many surprises , the story behind each character seems very dull with no effort made to develop their background , they just show two minute explanation as to what is driving them and it felt to me like they make no sense about why they are doing whatever it is they are doing . this anime could have been way better with very little effort .
Tweekums Protagonist Tatsumi comes from an impoverished village; one day he and two friends leave home, heading to the capital to join the army and earn money for themselves and the village. Tatsumi is separated from his friends, robbed of what little he has and is unable to join the army. He thinks things are looking better when he is 'rescued' by a wealthy family… but they have no intention of helping him; they plan to kill him! Luckily he is rescued from them by a rebel group known as 'Night Raid'. While with them he learns how the government is corrupt and that they are trying to defeat it. Tatsumi is invited to join their group and after training he is soon fighting alongside them. Night Raid and their enemies don't fight with ordinary weapons; they use 'Imperial Arms'; weapons of awesome power that few can wield. Over the course of the series they fight many enemies and as they do the group's number dwindles away but those who remain continue to fight to the end!This is a solid enough action anime with lots of fighting so if you like that sort of thing you are likely to enjoy this. There is a good range of characters; both good and bad… just try not to get too attached to them as more die than survive! The characterisation is a bit black and white; our heroes are definitely good and most of their enemies are bad, mad or both! Thankfully they aren't all crazed psychopaths; indeed some of the antagonists have deeper personalities enabling the viewer to have a (small) degree of sympathy for them at times. The characters designs are good; one shouldn't get confused about who is who and the animation is decent; especially during the many fight scenes.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
