Ah cool, they introduced Najenda this episode. I think her voice works well. And welp, it shouldn't be a surprise that Tatsumi gets paired up with Akame already.

It's funny how Mein makes fun of Tatsumi tbh. Then again, I think Tatsumi's skills are pretty good when it comes to combat so far.

Edit: Hope this forum doesn't become as toxic as Episode 1's was.

They skipped the base infiltration fight. So pretty much an entire chapter.
The preview for the next episode looks like they're adding new scenes with Mein, random fanservice with her changing and stuff.

Basically, the anime is confirmed to be a shitty adaptation.
Everyone go home. White Fox did not deliver.

I'm glad they are increasing fanservice

It will dispirit those who think this is some serious story. Adding more scenes with Mein/Mine means it will end with chapter 45.

But that was in the manga so.. I don't understand why they would skip material since the chapters get shorter and shortwr the farther we get into the manga. There's like 10 chapters in a row at some point that have like 30-35 pages.

I'm not going to go as far as saying that this will be shit. They gave us a perfect first episode as well, so I think it's still too soon to put labels such as that...But I'm very concerned now

Anyway, the episode is out and subbed, going to watch out

Oh wow, if you would just check out your previous comments before this. :3

Anyway, I'll hold my judgement on White Fox for a while since they might be changing/re-arranging things around instead of simply skipping chapters just like a few adaptations recently.

Normally i'm not a fan of "training" episodes, but this was entertaining!
It was more of a character introduction to be honest (seeing a quirk/side of each character).
Leone's still best girl for me, but Akame had some nice moments in the episode (the whole "wound" thing was nice).
I like Tatsumi's and mine's character interaction a lot, hopefully we see more of it in the coming episode.
BULAT STILL BEST MALE.

Was watching the episode and had to stop 7 minutes in, I can't watch more of this, the stupid fast pacing throws me off just like black bullet's did. These guys can't arrange their stuff for shit, why the fuck are these studios been so bad with the pacing of their animation lately? Same problems with Tokyo Ghoul, Tokyo ESP, Black Bullet and many other anime. That's seriously disappointing when these guys are supposed to be pros at animating stuff wow.

Akame looked very nice in that swim suit.
The next person he is going to be training with is Mine.

Looks like they changed the order... or yet skipped that invasion part.

Not too disappointed about that... rather using the stills when a person is killed... I'd rather see animation of someone being killed than just stills. >.<

Dialogue was weird, most of it was the same like in the manga but they really needed to change the wording at least. It felt like half the time people were narrating what they were doing and the other half they were being overly descriptive.

Oh yeah, that with the mein service in the preview was added as well. I suppose whitefox is just doing whatever.

Eh?

That was exactly how it went down in the manga (I know because I checked)...You have to remember that they only have approximately 21-21 mins to show content. If they tried to extend that scene, all they would achieve by doing that is unnecessary dragging things along...

But I see what some of you were talking about...They skipped the second half of chapter 2 :(

@EasyGo-er I'm hoping that is the case as well, it's not the first time that something like that has happened, plus it doesn't make sense for them to not show those events, and White Fox isn't a bad studio (Especially since the mangaka himself overlooked this series might I add)

I knew they were going to do that since last week, the title of this episode was the title of chapter 3 and with stuff cut out it seems like things are being fast forwarded. Not to mention, if they have time to add scenes like mein in her underwear then they have time to animate this more faithfully.

See the introfuction of Najenda? They just suddenky show her without any focus on her face or anything not even one second spent on just showing her to the audience. She just starts to talk like she was there the whole time, it was like this in the manga but when it's in anime format they should at least let the audience analyse her facial features and stuff for a second or two at least. Now right after that they suddenly show us the whole crew at the base without any transitioning or anything just BAM here's the crew and Najenda is talking. Normally in when this happen they take a few seconds of pause to show us the place where they're at and let the viewer realise that rhey got back into the base to talk about stuff.

+1 for Akame's body lol.

Pretty good episode. I noticed they took a few things out. Not surprising since they could basically make a full episode with one chapter. Didn't notice anything new add. So I don't know where this extra fanservice people keep talking about. Everything else was the same. Happy they kept the part about him remembering his friends. I know most people thought he got over it. Next episode should be fun. Can't wait.

Pretty good episode, though I wished they would have put in the Night Raid base infiltration to show the other characters in action too. Akame was so cute at the end, and Leone's faces keeps on getting more hilarious. Dat Bulat scene though.

Overall, this episode adapted half of chapter two and all of chapter three pretty well. Seems like next episode will only be adapting one chapter so the pacing should probably be slower next week. Can't wait to see how Tatsumi will work with Mine, considering their interactions in this episode.

Fair enough, I didn't have a problem with that at all though...We did get to see her features for a sufficient amount of time, and there was the ugh...Hand Claw thing which was pretty funny

*cough*

Well as satisfying as that was I'm kinda disappointed about the overall episode.
It certainly doesn't feel rushed to me though.

Well I'm just watching it for the sake of it being animated, if I want details I can read the manga so I'll just enjoy my fanservice + gore for the rest of the anime.

That was really good :D So they're really using the official names <_< I guess I'll use them for the anime.

They continued on from last ep with Tatsumi's feelings for his friends since last ep he was abruptly interrupted. So that was a nice thing to do for his development.

Lol'd at his introduction to all the members XD Sheele's encouragement "U've seen the hideout so u'll die if u leave" was so lol XD

Bulat being gay and Tatsumi's reaction XD

Dat Mizugi Akame <3 and that instant kill was pretty awesome ^^

Loved Tatsumi vs Ogre. Tatsumi really is quite BA :D And DAT blood :O Nice ^^

Cute seeing Akame being worried about him ^^

Mine's turn nxt :3
