| Awesome start |
✘ Flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers ✘    |
| 7/10 for starters. Will follow. Also great art and animation, only the BGM felt lacking. |
| yes, seemingly uncensored! fk yeah! |

| Better than I expected :D Can't wait to the next episode! I liked the OP though |
| I think whitefox will animate those still scenes of the girl and her dying. |
| great start! its nice to see it animated and It looks like there is 0 censorship thank god for that |
| I had my doubts how well they would do this adaptation, but I guess I can rest bit easier. Opening and ending were good, though nothing phenomenal. Waiting next episode with bated breath! : ) |
| Before I start watching this I must say I have high expectations of it! Yeah... episode barely starts a huge ass earth dragon pops out of the ground lol. Oh look, there the main male character, he seems pretty strong and I hope he will stay that way lol. Ok, so he's Tatsumi, a village boy that hopes to become someone in the capital city, but the capital is filled with corruption. OH YEAH! Now that's the kind of Imperial Capital we guys like! Um... dude... you clearly got totally fooled by that blond girl... I wonder if they're going to eat Tatsumi lol... oh, they're actually nice people, meh I still don't trust them. So he was separated from his friends on the way to the capital it seems. Damn, now that's some really intense shopping session lol. LOL, she got cut in half O.o I really want to see how Tatsumi fares against Night Raid. Meh, Akame OP and Tatsumi turned into a weak coward... Ohooooooo, looks like I was right to doubt their kindness... well not eat those that they bring home, but torture and kill. Crap... Sayo was done in by that "kind family"... duh f-ck... even Ieyasu... Aria... I hope you rot in hell for what you did and just said... Good job Tatsumi... Congrats on joining Night Raid Tatsumi!!! That guy in armor sure was funny XD. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Hmm not bad :p Will see how it goes oO |
| Great start, has lot of potential. Really like the art and animation. Sadly the video was lackey, so ill have to re-watch when it eventually comes to my usual website. |
| Thank You Based White Fox. Screw censorship !! |
Douglas24 said:  Lol that one guy looks exactly like sadamitsu  overall it was pretty cool though, pacing was extremely fast but it was entertaining |
| Pacing was also fast in the manga. It start slowing down after a few chapters. I Give it till about episode three when the pacing starts evening out. |
 |
| Watched it because there was so much hype surrounding it and I have to say I really enjoyed the first episode. I'm looking forward to see what happens next (I have no idea; haven't read the manga) On a side note, I just knew something was wrong with that damn family... man, that was fucked up |
| My goodness, how'd they manage to pack so many tropes and edge into one episode? The OST sounds good and other than MC having a textbook dense anime personality, the grimdark story is intriguing. Nothing new going on but let's see how it develops. There's a lot more violence than we usually see in anime and I've seen a few pages from the manga to know it's just like that. Hopefully we'll see more of MC's home town to get a better idea of how people are actually living under the stresses of the government. I hope the show doesn't lose focus. There's a lot of comedy in it - are we supposed to laugh or feel for the characters in this terrible situation. I mean MC just saw 2 of his friends dead/die and he's all "hurr durr why am i in this situation with these weird people". |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Oh WhiteFox..I expected more of you. The production was ok, but certainly not what I thought I would see from them. ED and OP theme are forgettable, OST was good, the filler scenes before the opening were strange and the stillshots really don't give me a lot of hopes for the rest of the series' budget. The toning down was expected, but it certainly didn't bother me as this story is quite generic anyway. Seriously, who didn't expect that twist? :D Oh well, as a manga reader I hoped WF could improve on the average source material but sadly that wasn't the case. Gonna continue anyway to see how it is produced. phantom19 said: My goodness, how'd they manage to pack so many tropes and edge into one episode? Fair warning, it will only get worse. Watch as people will cream their pants once appear. Hopefully they won't adapt that . |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| In all honesty, I don't think this was bad. Execution was a bit over the top and the story, structurally, looks formulaic (I could be wrong,) but definitely not bad. I still have my doubts, but I genuinely hope this ends up hitting the right notes. A bit optimistic, really. |
| what the.. i can't believe it that akame VA is same with fujimiya kaori :D her voice is so different haha btt i`m glad that there is no censor a bit rush, but good adaptation :) |

| Tatsumi was really a great warrior he can defeat that Earth Dragon easily!... But his air headed guy who thinks he can be anyone who he may want... He came to the capital to find some job to help his country. Then he met "Boob Lady" and he ask for help to get a position and job... But in exchange for her help he needs to buy her a meal and a fee for it... But he didn't knew he was been swindled already.Because he doesn't money left he decided to sleep outside...Then a rich girl named Aria came and offered him to stay on their home... And they are kind to him. "Night Raid" assassin group appears! The poor girl was just been slice without fighting for her life! Akame was really fast and skilled swords woman! She killed the guards fast! Then her next target to eliminate was Lady Aria but Tatsumi tried to defend her... But it seems Tatsumi was no match for Akame then suddenly the big boobed lady came and ask to Akame to spare him... Aria and her family's true nature was been revealed... They lure people with helping them but they actually intended to torture them and make them as their toys... Poor Sayo she was been tortured to and hanged to death and the one who that was Aria because her hair?!... Aria's true color was revealed she's really insane and I want to kill her too! And Ieyasu was actually tortured there too but he dies too because he was seemed to be poisoned... And because of that Tatsumi killed Aria himself... Because Tatsumi has no hesitation to kill Aria and he proves he was a skilled strong warrior the "Night Raid" Assassin group offered him to be their new member but He refuses to join them but as Akame said nobody can't oppose Leone the "big boobed lady" decision so he doesn't have any choice so he joins them even if he didn't wan to! Wow this is really a good adaptation of Akame ga Kill! White Fox Studio animation of the manga was really good! The OP and ED was good too!... I can't wait for the next episode next week! |

Kirion said: kikohunter said: Troll #1 detected! Not trolling, genuinely amazed at what would you like in this shit. Bad art, bad animation, bad cliche story, bad attempts at humor. Yay gore? There is a story. It will be explain in next episode. Everything else is just how you feel. If you think is bad. Then you just think it's bad. That's your opinion. We can't force you to like it, but I say get it at least two more episodes. |
|
| That was good. Liked OST a lot. Looking forward to next week's episode. |
| Oh my god... That was so fucking intense. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. I liked the light-heartedness of the first half, really turned me on to the show. While it's intense like Tokyo Ghoul, it also knows not to take itself too seriously. I really liked that. I can't say whether it's lived up to the hype so far, but I know that I'll at least enjoy the show, and that's good enough for me. Gave me Gurren Lagann feels, strangely... Great first episode! Can't wait for next week! |
| That was perfect....Brilliant Adaptation, White Fox did not disappoint I dont even think that there was any censorship either and if there were, it was so little that it's barely noticeable Everything was just amazing, the OP and ED, the VA's were all great, the BG music was interesting but fit the mood well, the action was on point 5/5 Can't wait to see the rest Kirion said: I welcome people like you...When a series gets trolled like this that means that it did a hell of a good job..So thank you hater :) I really appreciate all the love mankikohunter said: Troll #1 detected!

| this anime looks dark i like it |
| Cty Best mid |
| Awesome first ep<3 |
''I was dead serious''  |
| Liked a lot! Although the pacing was quite strange with the heavy stuff being quickly followed by the comedy (and sometimes even in the middle of it), but that's ok. I'm not really expecting much from this show anymore regarding the complexity of the plot after what I read, I prefer enjoying the fights and see the characters interact and develop but I hope it does not get TOO silly later on. Also, I have a question. I though there was another character (a woman) in the Night Raid group but she didn't appear in this episode and barely appeared (or didn't?) in the OP and END. Is she going to be introduced later or the studio was just being lazy not putting her in the OP when they should have? |
| Friend Code 3DS: 4914-3165-5517 |
| Pretty good start. Enjoyed the 1st episode. I wonder how closely the anime follows the manga. Should I read the manga as well? |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| after finishing and comparing with manga... well, it is close to manga (unlike tokyo ghoul) but for some reason tokyo ghoul was more intense, i think it was the comedy afterwards not befitting the death scenes. oh well. to all guys thinking this is bad and got full of shounen troupes... well, it is a shounen. the main difference and selling point of this series is the gore and actual deaths of the characters... PEOPLE DIE WHEN THEY ARE KILLED, not revived with edo tensei like in naruto or the MC using talk-no-jutsu, reborn as a spirit or healing major wounds like in bleach or simply somehow beating the enemy with the power of friendship like in fairy ****. for the others who are interested in the series... DO NET GET TOO ATTACHED WITH THE CHARACTERS... or you will break your heart... *sobs* like petra in attack on titan... *SOBS HYSTERICALLY* |

Kirion said: Seriously? This is hilariously bad anime. No story whatsoever, cheap animation, bad fights. OT: Very good first episode, haven't read the manga, all I knew was that this series was pretty dark and after watching the 1st episode, I don't think censorship will be a problem, looks like this season of anime might be the best of the year with other good shows coming out as well |
| "Now, let us drink. Let us drink. Drink to the human race. In every age, there will be good humans and bad humans. Human life is too long to devote to reproduction, yet too short to devote to learning, in the helix of time. Perhaps that is why humans succumb to desire and seek release. Despite the fact that life is complete with the sun, the land and poetry." Supreme Leader Diego(Real) (Hunter x Hunter 2011) |
| The first episode was pretty freaking amazing in my opinion. It was more than I expected. I actually felt bad for the mother at first, being sliced in half and all, but now I'm just glad those rodents are dead. Great start in my opinion. The characters seem really likable and I thought the gore was great as well. Definitely looking forward to this series! |
| Holy shit that was fantastic! Great adaption of the manga. If it keeps this pace up it'll be the best anime of the summer! My feelings for this: |
