I'm sure not many people like this anime because of obvious reasons, biggest one of all is the huge emotion rollercoaster that it is, and how it was developed. Well, I do not know if anybody will read this, but this anime will only be good for a select few because of the realism in it (not in the way that it turned out), somebody has to suffer, and almost always, it is the person least deserving of it. I know this because I am doing this right now. In my last year at elementary school I met a girl which just shook my ... world, left we gasping for air, was the only thing I was looking forward in the day, just to look at her. It was the first time, and maybe last, what I experienced to be in love. Even so, I was the most shy guy, so I did not get to talk to her much, but since I was so God dang obvious, people caught up, and so did she. Turns out we both liked each other, but nothing happened due to our mutual shyness. Here's the thing, we went to the same middle school, and when I finally got the courage to, on that summer after the 8th grade, confess, she actually said she liked me back, only to see her in a relationship with some other guy on the start of 9th grade, and that fucked me up bigtime. Thing is, things did not last long with the guy, and by mid second semester, she was single, and we started talking (Yeah, I know, why the fuck should I talk to her after that, but my feelings just wouldnt go away). I actually confessed one more time, which was the last time. She reciprocated my feelings, however, she moved to a distant country on the end of that summer (Great, I know). This is where things differ from what this anime is and my own life, but it is still a great lesson for you, and will help you aprreciate the anime. Time passed, I never felt the same about anybody again. It wasnt until my junior year of highschool in which I felt alone, and i felt like i should not be suffering like this. Because of this, I dated a girl which I liked, but wasn't exactly in love with, and that's why, after a year, it did not work out, me getting bored and probably destroying the girl's feelings. Then senior year went by and I decided to just hang with by friends and all that, and it went by.
We each went our separate ways, with only 2 of my close friends joining me at the state university which I chose. On my first year of college I met this girl, which I like alot and am currently still with her, after a year, two months and twenty days (yup, im in second year on college RN). Issue is, that girl from the 8th grade, remember her? Well she came back, and although she is not on the same state university as me, she is in the one of my hometown. CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE IT! Even today, although I know she toyed with me, although not on purpose, and did many more things to me, I still feel feelings toward her, even though I'm very happy on my current relationship. However, if she were to pop up in front of me one day, I seriously don't know what I would do. Yes, even though I have not seen her in years, have not talked to her, I still feel a strong affection... I guess that might be the difference between your first/true love, which I think is what this anime is about, how that feeling is never fully over, as I, after 8 years, still feel it. Life is rough, relationships are hard, somebody has to suffer, and sometimes, it is the person me want to suffer the least, but either we just go with the flow, or we step up, do what we have to do, and accept the consequences head on.
Sorry, I guess its not much of a review but a vent huh... But, for some reason, I think this story will be truly useful to you guys wondering if this anime is worth watching. For me? It sure as hell was

PS. Sorry about grammar and stuff (especially since by my age, I should be writting properly) but it's 2 am over here and I am quite tired.

First of all, this is my first review, so I might not be as strict as some of you avid anime watchers out there. Also, I personally don't read manga, so don't expect any comparisons from the anime to the manga. Even so, I felt the need to write a review about this particular series, Akame ga Kill! The plot is basically a young boy by the name of Tatsumi goes to the capital who is responsible of the poverty of his village. There he finds a corrupt capital like no other, in which a young emperor is being manipulated by his much older minister, ... and finds a group by the name of Night Raid that fights that corruption with the art of assasination. The story may be a bit common and not something so hard to come up with, but they way they developed it, for me atleast, was great. Not only because of all the action and bloodshed but of how the mangaka kept the anime realistic to some degree, not fearing to kill one of their main characters if need be, unlike some anime in which the MC can face hordes of enemies and end up unscathed, this one is about the MC getting stronger which each near-death battle and growing wiser because of the people around him and what was passed onto him, growing both in strength and mentally. I'm not such a picky watcher but as far as I could see the art was great, not rushed, and the music was a but absent, i felt it complemented each fight, the character development is fabulous, as you see not only Tatsumi but those around him also mature in different ways. It is an anime in which you shouldn't get to attached to a certain character, but to all of them and their purpose as a whole. This may be a bit of a spoiler but i don't know how else to put it, many characters get killed, but each with a reason that without it maybe they wouldn't have suceeded, unlike in some anime with pointless deaths (Such as Guilty Crown in my opinion) and instead it leaves this bittersweet feeling of each death. The whole anime was a bit bittersweet in my opinion, but hey, that's for you to decide. It's really worthwhile if you have time for it, and I gladly recommend it. That's it for my review :)
