| I finished watching Hellsing Ultimate yesterday and now every action (with lots of blood involved) seems so...tame :/ Don't get me wrong, this episode was great but now I just see things in a different light? Kurome must have done something really nasty to make Akame want to kill her :o |

| White Fox did a damn good job with this episode. I really enjoyed the fight it was awesome. Introduction of Teigu was also nicely handled. |

Just by reading previous posts here, a lot of people saying it was amazing but it really wasn't. Actually, come to think of it, did that scene have more dialogue than actual fighting? I'm curious, might go through and tally it up tomorrow. |
Tokoya said: FloatsBoats said: Are you for real lol? Since I have to literally spell it out for you -_-He's forming his opinion of this episode and the ones that came before it and it's pretty annoying when Manga/LN fans always say "it gets way better just wait". Why couldn't it start that way instead giving us these lame back stories and predictable plot line. Anyway, I really hope it does get better because it has A LOT of potential i'm just not liking the Black and White morality and villain of the week so far. Hopefully Tatsumi becomes better because right now he's just plain stupid and unrelatable. Complaint #1 - Black and White/All the villains are "pure" evil To an extent, yes it may seem as if this is the case but as we saw in this episode (as well as some hints from previous episodes) some (and as you will soon see, most) of the antagonist aren't all fully evil...It's been greatly expressed that the peopleat the heart of the capital (The official, the prime minister and the kid, you know, the guys calling the shots, yeah?) are the pure evil ones....The fact that we've seen guards and officials who don't agree with how the country is being ran proves this wrong...Also as we saw in the new episode, even a major serial killer suck as Zark is the man he is today because of the corruption forced upon him by his seniors. And in regards to Night Raid, we've all seen how serious these guys can get and how they can easily not give any fucks about who they kill...No matter what way you chose to look at it...Murder is still Murder and it is NOT okay even if it's for a just cause Complaint #2 - One Dimensional characters I admit, up until now, most of the "notable" villains have been one dimensional but as we saw in this episode Zark wasn't and he is just the beginning...I regards to Night Raid, it just baffles me how people bitch when characters don't get character development or in this case are 1-Dimensional, and then when it literally slaps the ignorant watchers in the face (That is to prove that THEY ARE NOT ONE DIMENSIONAL) they call it "lame" or "boring" *facepalm* These characters aren't one dimensional at all and its not rocket science to see it...Plus it's not like a show like SAO where there's only 1-2 main/notable fucking character so they can easily knock off introductions and backstories/developments like that in 1-2 eps.. Complaint #3 - Trying to be what it's not Was addressed in my previous post So your point is what now? What? How can you say that this show isn't LITTERED with Black/White morality. The villains that they have had to kill so far have been dumped with every single crime possible to make it seem like it's ok to kill them. Corruption forced upon by his seniors? He was an executioner and it never told us whether or not the people he was killing were legitimately innocent or not. He got greedy from his own power and became corrupt on his own. >Couldn't give two fucks about who they kill And why is that? It's never explained why the feel no remorse for killing except Tatsumi. Who saw his friends that we had never even seen before get killed infront of his eyes. And they expect us to feel sorry for him? Who the fuck are these friends? Why should I care about them. Anyway I don't have to argue his opinions for him. >So what is your point now? That you don't need to force your opinions on other people but spouting nonsense like saying stuff like "it gets way better, trust me". When as a matter of fact it probably won't for him. He dislikes the black/white where as you say its not already and you will see soon. |
| nice episode bro kinda creeps me out a little O_O I wonder if this is the type of show to have a character die in it ?? |
 |
| This was a good episode, I think it was probably the best I've seen of the series so far. There really wasn't any noticeable censoring that I saw, Tokyo Ghoul should really take its queues from this anime. |

| Nice to hear a longer version of the song used for previews and which kicked in when Kurome showed up. Getting major MGS4 vibes from it. Looking forward to checking it out once the OST is released. Aside from that, solid episode. Seeing Kurome here made me really excited for . |
| Pretty good episode, they're following the manga to a T, which I still think is unnecessary. Also, they seem to be playing the safe route. |

| What's this Tatsumi's bankai-esque super speed attack that hit Zank when he apparently had the "future revealing eye" .. I need explanations, I thought Tatsumi was a weak shrimp. Good episode, looking forward to the next. |

Only thing in common in blood. both are good in my eyes and only get better. Because Tokyo Ghoul's adaptation direction is horrendous while AGK is following the source almost to the letter |

Yup. Whitefox is rapidly becoming one of the most faithful adaptation studio with each series they make. |
| Why's everyone talking about upcoming deaths.. Please stop I fear for night raid :( Although I'm not even sure if you guys mean one of them or other characters. Kinda scared still.. and spoiled even though idk who'll die Oh and now we're having episodes dedicated to each member huh? When's my Bulat episode? Come on I need more of that guy! I love his character xD |
 |
| I really like Akame and her baddassnes, and the OST is great too. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
Ironwez20 said: Darklight0303 said: Because Tokyo Ghoul's adaptation direction is horrendous while AGK is following the source almost to the letter SO? I mean yea its not following the adaption properly but remember its trying to put alot of chapters in 12 episodes so I guess they had to take some liberties. Not if character consistency suffers as a consequence. Kaneki especially was hit with the dumb bat last episode when in the manga he had purposely accepted the invitation in order to INVESTIGATE the guy. Your defense is worthless Ironwez20 said: kikohunter said: @Ironwez50 1-Studio Pierrot is in charge of Tokyo Ghoul. A studio well known for never doing justice to the source material they're adapting. 2- I'm getting the vibes that you haven't read the manga. Well here's a suggestion: If you want a better story in almost evrry aspect, then go read the manga of Tokyo Ghoul and then gey depressed on how bad the anime is. I read the manga.... its switching arcs and its not really a big deal to me. Yea they left out stuff but its not like they are skipping arcs. But im not gonna derail this thread just seems like people who like akame are praying for tokyo ghoul to fail lol. Anyway this episode was better than tgs episode so im not complaining We don't have to pray. If things don't change soon it will even without our prayers. |
| That bro scene at the beginning. Woot. Zank is pretty awesome. Oh yeah, he can't survive against MC no matter what cliche. |
| Holy shit,Akame is so badass i'm really starting to like this show. |
  |
| Tatsumi's fight was good. Akame's fight was even better. And that eye. I actually want one, but it has its disadvantages. Zank is one of the perfect antagonist imo. Liked his character. Next episode seems interesting. |
| much better episode the "lol bulat is gay" is getting annoying though |
| Being a manga reader, I am extremely happy with this episode! Gosh, White Fox is adapting Akame ga Kill really well so far. I'm just amazed, I hope they keep it up. The episode was just fantastic. It was great to have the explanations about the various teigus. The fight scenes in this episode were fucking awesome! My goodness, it was just so good. I forgot how badasss Akame was but she really showed she's one badass mofo in this episode. My goodness! Her serious, deadly eyes~ Her seeing Kurome and not even hesitating just shows Akame is not someone you should mess with. The OST was also incredible; it just made the fight even more intense. Loved it, by far the best episode so far. 5/5 |

| This is an incredibly faithful series? I wonder why people like the manga. I thought the manga was better than the anime, but seeing all these comments about how it's a direct adaptation lessens my faith on the series. |
| After rewatching this episode I still can't get over the fact that it just so happens that all the Night Raid members just so happens to have those super rare mega OP weapons from ancient time. They they at least tell us how each got their own Imperial Arms? |

Given that half of them were lost in the civil war it's not that surprising plus they are tied to the Revolutionary army and it's to be expected they'd have imperial arms if they are actually a threat to the Empire. |
emeraldrosary said: It was nice to see Tatsumi and Akame paired up again. I found it a bit cliché how Zank revealed all of his secrets to Tatsumi during the fight. Can bad guys just stop talking and kill for once? Not that I’m rooting for Zank, glad he didn't stick around for to long. Oh don't you worry about that |

HELLSATAN said: man there is always flood of comments here I wonder how they [spoiler] they gonna put the guy who likes to collect faces in this anime that was pretty cruel. |
| Good battle and I'm glad Akame got the killing blow tot he enemy :D |
 |
| meh I don't bother about the fan service...I'm into the anime...haters always find ways to talk about how thrash about something..and always rants about it...this was a good episode... well everybody is a critic...peace people |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| Best episode so far even though Mein only has less screen time. Akame was pretty badass in here. Next episode we will get to know Shere and |
