AkaKill! Gekijou

TLDR: If you enjoyed Akame Ga Kill! watching this will give you closure of the ending and good feel vibes you'll need.

I write this after binging the entire Akame Ga Kill! and Akame Ga Kill! Theater and for the first 22 mini-episodes they are enjoyable, it adds an extra layer of comedy and unseriousness since it wasn't in the original show. Now having said that while watching I didn't expect much to come from it since they are kinda like mini skits, but what really makes this outstanding in my eyes is the last two episodes in which they can give a sort of closure ... that the original anime doesn't give you. (Spoiler Warning) In these two last episodes it shows these characters after they have died and them interacting with one another and being a group once again, friend or foe they all can now be together and get along in this afterlife because there is no more need for fighting. These last two mini episodes have been really impactful and through out all of the Original show I never cried. These last two episodes really brought a tear to my eye and so I would really recommend watching this entire mini-series for that resolution within the last two episodes.

I have to say that you can't write much about this ONA in a review,since every episode is only 1 min. and few seconds long.

Without much to say about the story and art...etc,I could only recommend to every Akame Ga Kill anime\manga fan to watch this series,it's really funny (though I find some episodes really poor) and don't take much time,just try it out and I'm sure it isn't really a waste of time,the personalities of the characters aren't far from that of the main series so the jokes can be really funny as if you were watching the main story.

It's a little hard to rate AkaKill! Theater due to the varying nature of each one minute short, however, I can say, I really did not enjoy this.

Whilst crude humour is normally found throughout a lot of these different shorts, and whilst I'm not normally one to mark a show down for the odd joke here and there - AkaKill! Theater has the script writing of a bored author opening a book of terrible crude jokes, picking 18, laying out a story line for them and then having a small handful of actually good content in between.

I think there was maybe four or ... five episodes I enjoyed throughout this entire thing, coming from someone who adored AkaKill! as a whole, concept and the theme of the show. This felt like a massive let down compared to what the original series is - I'm not one to complain about lighthearted humour as part of an add on, but this was just a run down mess of the original characters. Seriously, a good 40% of this series is just jokes about Leone's breasts and then 30% stalker level behaviour from Esdeath.

It got boring quickly, with the first third of the show being the same jokes recycled into different forms of 'storylines'. The four or five standout episodes would have done well to be the entire series with a length of 5-6 minutes per episode.

If you're a fan of AkaKill!, Theater will either be a loved humourous add on to the series, or something to screw your face up seeing what has become of the characters.

I, unfortantely, was the latter. If you're not into crude jokes, probably give this a miss; if that's your comedy style, you'll probably wanna hop in on this.

For 24 minutes... This felt like it took fifty to watch through everything and get to the end of this "fun addition". Just a sad thing to see considering how amazing the original series was.
