The only 2 I see surviving are Najenda and Run.

I know Akame will kill Esdeath sure she is so incredibly powerful but look at Akame's teigu one scratch and Esdeath dies not to mention her hidden ability is coming next episode, I feel something stupid is going to happen but it wont be Esdeaths death it will likely be Esdeath doing something stupid or destroying everything.

You will never know the epic armor Tatsumi could have gotten if they followed the manga


Sorry bro, but I read the manga. Second, stop spoiling. Third, unlike some people in this universe, I like to move on and think about the positives rather than dwell in the past forever.

THANK YOU FOR THAT
Darklight is such a troll
Pls somebody shut him up
I've read the manga but i still had the feels this ep. Dont get the unwarranted hate now. I mean you idiot blind mangafegs knew this wasnt gonna follow the manga from ep 19 then why the F*** are you guys complaining in this thread. Amazing episode. So sad about tatsumi..ugh

This episode was really good, like I didn't think that it would have been on this level. I'm gonna go in depth this time too

1. Apart from Tatsumi (I'll get to him soon) I really loved what they did with Wave, the emperor and most of all Ran. The reason why I say this is because with the Emperor, we all knew that he was being used and he couldn't see it but once he entered the mech it became more than that. We saw his inner conflict with himself which makes sense because for a kid to be a ruler, a lot I'd expected of him and it's hard to follow 1000 years of greatness so the pressure from that got to him. But even then he still showed that he wasn't truly evil because he did realize that what he was doing was wrong and he even begged Tatsumi to stop fighting so that he couldn't hurt his people even more

In regards to Wave and Ran, they did exactly what I expected then to do in the manga, especially Ran because like I said, this is what the manga foreshadowed for his character before they messed up his character, so for me Anime Ran>>Manga Ran, the level of depth they gave him was great

2. The action was superb, all of the fights were awesome, Ran's abilities were showcased very well, Akame was badass, that Wave and Tatsumi teamup was great (I really want to see that happen in the manga) and the mech battle in general was actually decent.

3. Tatsumi.....I'd be lying if I said that everything that happened with him was bad. He stayed true to his ideals, he never backed down, his thoughts never wavered and that one scene where he remembered what Aniki said....That was amazing, everything from that point was amazing and I genuinely felt sad that he died but he went out swinging like a badass and WF in commend you for that

My only nitpick is that I wanted them to use the manga trams formation design but this one wasnt all that bad, I liked that he got wings tho.

This was the best original episode to date imo....Next episode is gonna suck, I don't want to see Esdese die lol


Except the esdeath part at the end, This! Just This! can darklight and the rest of the manga purist let us enjoy AgK now?

1) Anime changes "divine wings" to "god's wings".

2) Leone was in the air helpless, facing a Teigu user that has supremacy in the air......yet Run doesn't kill her. Leone even says "crap" but yet she still managed to survive the supposed final battle.

Lol
did the anime really change it from divine to god? i mean that could be a translation issue tbh


Doubled check from the wiki. Said divine wings and you know that makes more sense than god's wing when it comes to Run.

It was an ok episode. The whole thing where they kill a member of the main cast each episode is pretty tedious. And for people defending the anime, i don't understand how you can even portray this is as a good show/adaptation. Compared to others that came out this year it's mediocre at best. The animation for this episode was solid, the script and content was poor, which is a shame. It reminded me of the Soul Eater finale with the 'fist of courage' bullshit. In other words it's bad writing, plain and simple. Either way we'll see how well they execute the final fight next week. They usually animate Akame's sword fights well so it should at least be entertaining.

on its own and ignoring the source material it was well animated entertaining episode.

power wise it was fine if esdeath can freeze god damn time then tatsumi can go ancient dragon super sentai on the emperor's ass

ran's teacher backstory had no impact compared to the manga and the setup for akame vs esdeath is pretty bad too. .

extremely rough translation from a guy on the AGK Reddit page

The first tells us that he has nothing with the anime supervision, the rest in not-understandable, but mostly has nothing to with the first topic.
The second tells us something that apparently there is a discrepance because the staff of the anime wanted it (I don't know what) like it is, and that he wanted to be work with the anime staff/he wanted to do something for the anime staff.


That explains why Tatsumi became Magnamon instead of what he was in the manga.

I enjoyed this episode despite my preconception of the giant robot monster thing would make it cheesy. I wonder how Esdeath is gonna react next episode, she may shrug it off or she may be holding her emotions in during the fight and will show in when she's about to lose.

Despite the changes from the manga, I still enjoyed this.

YES. This was the most well done over-the-top action I've seen since gurren lagaan giant robots throwing galazies at one another. Seriously tho I hope tatsumi also dies in the manga.

I came here to see the rage, wasn't disappointed.

On another note, I liked the episode despite being a mangareader. Tatsumi went Kill la Kill on that gundam and died a hero. It was an epic way to finish the tale. Only thing I hated about the alternate ending in this show is Mine dying. I felt it didn't have any purpose since soo much of NR was already dead.

as a manga reader, I dont care about the continuity, the manga isnt done and the monthly chapters are slow, an anime original end couldnt be helped(and as most readers already know, the wild hunt arc was crap anyway). I was just hoping that they'd at least keep the main theme of the show instead of pulling a super sayain gurren laggan and a giant final boss that makes soul eater's finale look subtle in comparison.

I dont like admitting it though, but I still enjoyed this ep because I saw it as more of a parody of agk than an actual adaptation.

Overall this was a good ep for me. The animation in this ep was pretty good. I expected it to be usual level of animation seen in AGK so that kinda surprised me a bit. The action was solid, though I' kinda sad to see that Wave was defeated so easily compared to Tatsumi even though his Imperial Arm is supposed to be better.

Sad to see that Tatsumi died, but I have a feeling that he'll be revived next ep.
I'm glad we got to see more of Run's Imperial Arms(it was shown only once before iirc). I'm happy to see that Leone will live, unless she's killed by a stray ice-spike in the next ep.

I hope that the Esdeath and Akame fight will be good even though the outcome is really predictable. I hope it doesn't end up like the Akame vs Kurome, which disappointed me. I was expecting a good fight out of that but we got talk and Akame and Kurome team up vs the danger beast.

I guess I can understand the mangareaders for bashing the anime because it wasn't an amazing adaptation they expected of a manga they enjoyed(allot I assume).
I didn't read the manga so I don't really care much.

If they put ''Go! Go! Power Rangers'' as OST and made Emperor or Tatsumi/Wave scream ''Who the hell do you think i am!/we are!'' i would totally give this show a 10/10.
Not even commenting on content of episode, but animation and drawings in some moments were pretty damn awesome, can't lie.Too bad that's about it...next episode finale huh.Finally.

Been reading the manga for years and have for the most part been positive about the anime adaptation. Generally the source material is superior and one has to live that. IBut the last couple of episodes have been really poor and this one was a disaster. All the spouting of shounen dialogue nonsense, Esdeath not being present at the climactic battle despite being the main antagonist, Wave suddenly becoming an ally in one episode's worth of action etc etc etc... Just poor writing.

I hope Takahiro is taking notes and finishing this in a very different way in the manga.
