----------------------------------------
Finally, Esdese and her troops are in the empire.

Also, first time I notice Akame show tears because of what happened with Sheele. Poor Spear-chan...I guess she was at the wrong place at the wrong time. The Three Beasts make their debut and I think their voices are fine so far.

Looks like Tatsumi meets them. ANIKI TIME. They pretty much just build up this episode so I'll expect more from the next one.

You'd think by episode 7 you'd at least get the protagonist's name right.

Nah, they removed that part.

Anyway, this was a very rushed episode. They cut a lot of content and covered around 3 chapters as opposed to the usual 1.5. Somehow though it still felt decently handled. Some stuff I'm not too happy they cut, like the danger beast training with Aniki, but other than that it was still coherent and made sense.
Akame's voice actress did a great job with THAT scene, and the voices for the Three sound great.
Looks like next episode is time for Aniki's battle.
Also, Tatsumi looked snazzy as hell in that suit.

Im somewhat glad that they're picking the pace up, I have this lingering fear that they're not gonna adapt the esdese fight with all of night raid, based on the pace they're going for the past episodes.

Good episode Bulat showed what he could do. Surprised he was able to kill off one of Esdeath guard so quick. Wonder when Tatsumi going to really step up. Seeing Akame break down the way she did was surprising. Esdeath want to fall in love say what 0.o?

Good episode, now Esdeath is finally on the scene, can't wait to see more of her. Not really surprised they didn't do the face bit, that was just too disturbing.

Bulat is so fucking beast.

Another good episode. Akame showing some feeling about Sheele's death. Esdeath is back in the capital and looking for some love. The three beast brother are pretty hardcore. I mean skinning someone. Tatsumi and Bulat vs the three or should I say two beast brothers. This was just a teaser. The real action comes next episode.

4/5.

Looks like they're picking up the pace now since this episode essentially covered 3 chapters...I don't mind it because this pretty much gives me hope that the anime will end on the chapter that I want it to end on

Regardless they skipped about 3 scenes....But one of them was kind of included in last week's episode of AgK Theatre...Hopefully the other two can get included somehow later

Sora Amamiya did an amazing job during Akame's emotional scene....Now everyone knows that Akame does have emotions...That scene was very powerful and I too felt pretty sad

The Three Beasts sounds amazing but I expected that considering who their VA's are....River's/Liver's VA is the guy that voiced Alucard in Hellsing and Kotomine Kirei in the Fate Series...The scene where they massacred that political guy and his daughter was brutal

Braht is just perfect and amazing and is just way too cool....Seeing him be the badass that he truly is was so worth it...And dat hype..."128 Man Slayer Braht"

Next episode is when the battle gets really epic and I can't wait to see it animated ^^



Also, my Esudesu-sama~ Why are you so kawaii >//< I'll be your mate :''D

Well take a look at that - the first episode of Akame ga Kill where I can say that I genuinely enjoyed watching it. Bulat is always nice, so it was good to see him getting some focus as well. Also the first villain that actually didn't come off as ridiculous, Liver actually seems like a likeable fellow. Let's see whether they can keep this up.

Well, I'm going to wait and see. Unfortunately I already know what's going to happen next week (some idiot here on MAL spoiled it a few weeks ago), but eh, I'll see how they execute that event then. Just hope that it doesn't fall back into the pattern of ridiculous villains too soon, though the fact that Seryu is still at large doesn't give me that much hope.

Great episode, even though White Fox rushed through three chapters in this episode. I still applaud them for making this episode consistent. Akame breaking down in tears was surprising and shows how much she cares for her comrades. Esdeath was quite scary with her death stare. Bulat vs. the Three Beasts was awesome. 1 v 3 and he knocked two out and killed one. River's voice was epic. Must be that Kirei syndrome. Can't wait for the battle next episode. One thing I was disappointed on was White Fox not adapting Bulat training and teaching Tatsumi about fighting the forest danger beasts.

Great ep. Esdese trying to fall in love!? Surprised me seem like the typical women working some place they don't have time for that. Nice part with Tatsumi and Akame. Oh man Esdese's henchman are cruel that boy one skin that girl alive!? WTF? Man I didn't really need to see the closeup. Well they didn't go all in detail but sheesh. Main highlight was pretty much Bulat he got some great lines this ep. Also great way he took out all three in that situation. Also got the twist his old general is the enemy now. I'm already excited to see how this fight is going down next ep!

Wow that was brutal for Bulat slicing that Beast in half, I just laughed when he did that. I think the next episode will be action pack, so I can't wait for it.

I like the interactions between Aniki and Bro (or Bulat and Tatsumi), they seem like brothers to me XD.

Also it felt rushed compared to the previous episodes, but still a good episode.

Great episode!!! Seeing Bulat kick ass was pretty awesome!!! He took Esdese's three on effortlessly. Can't wait to see if Bulat will be able to take on his formal general or not! In regards to Esdese wanting to find love I felt that was a bit random. Though I can't wait to see how her wanting to find love plays out in future episodes.

Tatsumi being an idiot and making Akame cry :( Glad he punched himself and developed from that.

Nakata Jouji as Liver is awesome :D And that flute was really nice :3

Really loved the episode, but the next one will be better, that's when the action will go down!
Aniki is strong killing one guy and knocking the other 2 out.
Looks like Esdese is looking for... love? I think it's easy to guess who she will be in love with.
Oh... They censored the scene when Nyau takes off the face of the girl :/
By the way, don't get too attached to the characters it tends to kill everyone we like.

Everything he said. I didn't like how they covered too many manga chapters in this episode and how fast the anime's pacing has become but it definitely makes sense. I just hope they could slow it down a bit in the future. They're losing out on some good scenes. I don't like how the Esdeath torture scene was put in the theatres just for a slight laugh either. It feels just dumbed down to me. Childish, at an adult level. Very unnecessary. Akame's anime currently only has me half as hyped as how I started out, but I'm still riding this out to the end.

A bit bummed out for the omitted scenes and the fast pace. I was really looking forward to Nyau's newest addition to his collection of faces.
Other than that it was a solid episode.

Was really excited to hear Jouji Nakata voice General River, ever since the announcement earlier today. I can never get tired of his awesome voice.

Felt very satisfied when I saw Braht slashing Daidara in half again.

Meh episode. The pacing felt really fast. They cut out quite a lot. The way the scenes transition feels really awkward too. Like the scene with Leone spying on Esdeath, it just felt too sudden. They also cut the part where Esdeath asked for 6 Teigu users which I don't understand. The extra comedy scenes they're adding in is starting to get annoying as well.

I'd suggest avoiding these threads honestly. I don't know why people can't contain their excitement and not spoil or even hint. It's not minor things to, they straight up ridic about it.
