Hahahaha Bols always seems to make me laugh so hard. His wife and daughter LOL. Hes actually super lucky. Hilarious. Wave u failure xD

Then ermygerd Najenda used to look very cute without that eye patch.

Tatsumi and his fly tho LOL. Akame too cute for trying to pay attention to "new fashion" lel.

This ending tho. Too good. Esdeath deredere change of personality is so cute. Poor Tatsumi at the same time not so poor Tatsumi lol. Nice ending.

5/5 for this episode.

There isn't anything more romantic than looking at your crush with a lovestruck eye while torturing a beast.

Tatsumi x Esdeath OTP! Oh btw Wave and Kurome look really cute together too.

The censorship is starting to piss me off. They also censored Esdese's order to rape and kill all at the village scene.

Tatsumi was cool saying those words. His open fly had to ruin it. Haha! Lubbock had feelings for Najenda huh. Now it makes sense.
It was good for Esdeath, bad for Tatsumi. Hahahaha! Tatsumi just didn't had luck on his side. Next episode is gonna be great judging from the preview.

As much as i was a fan of the manga, I can't really say i liked this episode a lot. I mean it was ok but the humor this time felt a little more cringe worthy than how it was portrayed in the manga

I don't know if it's just me but I am a bit confused on the Jaegers. It seems like they are being portrayed as good people. For instance the Bols scene this episode. If someone can explain to me why the creators are trying to make us feel sympathy for this group that would be awesome. I mean aren't they supposed to be the bad guys?


Not every bad guy in anime or even real life is 100% evil, most people have someone that they care about regardless of if they are a killer or not.

Overall another episode that was just painful to watch, especially how they tend to -always- kill the mood with something.
I feel like the entire point of Akame ga Kill's existence is to see just how far I'm willing to go for a no-drop rule...

You're kidding, this is the best anime of the season.

I only counted one small flaw this episode, and that was the unlikelihood of Esdeath running into Tatsumi, but it's okay because the anime never does that very often at all. As a matter of fact it seems to balance itself pretty well. The whole thing is brilliantly done.

I especially love the depth of the characters. Bol has a wife and kid, but is also a guy who goes around killing people because he's a soldier. Esdeath tortures people, but she's kind to her subordinates. The minister may seem like a total dick, but he actually is just self-indulgent, not needlessly cruel. It hammers in the a realistic portrait in a slightly comedic atmosphere. The emperor isn't a total nitwit, he's not a retarded puppet, but he is naive.

And how the whole thing is about really how no one is safe. The only person we're pretty sure won't die is Tatsumi in the middle of the series because he's the main character. All other characters have zero plot armor and god help me I love it. Brutal and realistic, none of these deus ex machinas protecting every supporting character.

Definitely, If you read the manga then watch the anime. it will be not fun, nor surprising. (based on my experiences.)

It's based on a completely objective analysis. You can argue how you want, but the characters have several dimensions to their character, the plot is consistent and runs smoothly, and everything else falls into place without abusing tropes.

To argue anything to the contrary makes you objectively wrong, regardless of whether or not you personally like it.

I've heard good things about Space Dandy, so I'll withold judgment on some other anime that I haven't seen, but based on the better selection of what I've seen this season (SAO II, Zankyou no Terror, Aldnoah Zero), it's in a league of its own. Maybe other people are missing the depth of the setting because of the show's bursts of levity in its screenplay.

A great episode, it seems that the animation is flowing much better than previous ones, the pace was also better, beyond the script and screenplay, keep this pattern until the end, I think the anime could have an even higher note.

I just think the way it is, do not know which chapter could end ...

Honestly, though... does every female have to be good looking? I mean look at a commoner woman.



It's kinda funny how they're playing it safe, just in case someone decides to drop the anime/manga because of character looks, or something.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Tatsumi: Now they appear!? hah i can use them to escape. *ZIING*

So I read a comment somewhere from the internet about this episode...

"RUN TATSUMI! SHE'S BACK FOR THE D!"

God fucking dammit that's hilarious.


As for this episode, this is also very hilarious, particularly Tatsumi's reunion with Esdeath.

There's a reason it's called a no-drop rule. I do believe that I should finish everything I've started out of respect to the producers (and the fact that I hate it to leave a story unfinished), but this one here is really tasting my patience.

To be honest, you can go read the manga if you're really that desperate for something interesting in this series, the manga is a lot more intense right now.

The anime will take like 2 - 4 episodes to get a little more interesting, I'm just saying this if you really are that desperate for something happening, but try to keep that patience on, the anime will eventually get better and when it ends, you can read the manga.

Jesus the comedy in this is so full of win, i almost died twice this episode.

Things are progressing fast, i can't believe we reached half cour already.

The amount of death flags raised in this one episode was depressing. Next ep. we will have more action and Esdeath-sama's backstory, yay!! 5/5

Amazing episode!

Definitely better than the last one!

Lol Bols is really a kind person ^^

It seems Susanoo and Tatsumi's relationship mirrors Bulat's :P

Lol Tatsumi's cool speech get's hampered by his underwear XD

Esdeath finds tatsumi once again! Damn she took those beasts like it was nothing. I wouldn't want her to make her mad that's for sure!

Gonna be interesting in the next episode!!!

Can't wait!
