Synopsis

Night Raid is the covert assassination branch of the Revolutionary Army, an uprising assembled to overthrow Prime Minister Honest, whose avarice and greed for power has led him to take advantage of the child emperor's inexperience. Without a strong and benevolent leader, the rest of the nation is left to drown in poverty, strife, and ruin. Though the Night Raid members are all experienced killers, they understand that taking lives is far from commendable and that they will likely face retribution as they mercilessly eliminate anyone who stands in the revolution's way.

This merry band of assassins' newest member is Tatsumi, a naïve boy from a remote village who had embarked on a journey to help his impoverished hometown and was won over by not only Night Raid's ideals, but also their resolve. Akame ga Kill! follows Tatsumi as he fights the Empire and comes face-to-face with powerful weapons, enemy assassins, challenges to his own morals and values, and ultimately, what it truly means to be an assassin with a cause.

Background

Akame ga Kill! is the anime adaptation of Takahiro's shounen manga of the same title, which is illustrated by Tetsuya Tashiro and was serialized in Square Enix's Gangan Joker from April 2010 to December 2016. The anime follows the source material through the first eight volumes of the manga, incorporating events from later issues as well, before concluding with an original story arc that deviates from the manga.

(Minor spoilers ahead, but nothing that will ruin the experience)

Akame ga Kill! starts off with one of the most compelling openings in anime. The first episode hooks you with an incredible twist that completely flips your expectations. Tatsumi, the protagonist, stands out as someone who isn’t afraid to kill when necessary, which is refreshing in a genre that often hesitates to show moral complexity. At the same time, the show makes sure you feel the weight of every death, whether it’s an enemy or a close ally.

The Night Raid, the main group of characters, is fantastically developed. Each member has a distinct personality, unique abilities, ...

Mixed Feelings
I came in here with below zero expectations and left very surprised. Don’t get me wrong, this ain’t the second coming of Jesus Christ but it sure is fun as hell. The edge, how seriously it takes itself, the character designs, everything works to just make for a good time. Of course, the biggest thing working against this is the story, specifically the plot progression and character development.

There are many small details and things throughout the series that don’t make sense, seem dumb, or just seem to be a vehicle for the plot to progress. One small example is at the end, where certain ...

English version:

One of the worst executed anime I've ever seen. I've forced myself to finish it, and even then I'm not the least bit proud of it. The editing of the scenes and episodes is pitiful, as if the studio was also tired of continuing with its production. You can see the reluctance in the animation and in the plot. I know that the manga changes a lot of things, but, to be honest, I've lost the desire to read it.

Its premise is good and, at least, its first half is easy to watch; but its second half is rushed, with characters appearing out ...
