Did you forget Ogre mentioned some crazy doctor and experiements that would give her a trump card. She's no longer really all human. She's more cyborg.

Wasn't Sheele teigu supposed to cut through fucking everything? How did Seryu block it with her guns?


I guess "cutting anything" only works when opening and closing the scissors and not when used as oversized sword.

But the bigger plot hole is that schele had the chance to kill seryu but kept messing around even though she's a "natural killer"...


That too, Sheele call to go to Mine aid instead of killing Seryu at spot (pretty sure she could've blocked the shoot from the mouth if she was looking at her) was really questionable imo

Well god damn. Best episode in this series so far but RIP Sheele. We hardly knew ya. What a great sequence of events, action and feels. Now, shots have officially been fired. Even I couldn't predict that Seryu would be that insane. And now it looks like the shit storm is about to descend upon the capital. F'n game time baby.

Well I enjoy the Manga for what it is.Its fun to read and I really liked how AGK makes fun of Tropes in general,I think its intended.
I personally Love it because of the Action in it and how Fearless the author is for Killing off Characters or Injuring them severely,He just doesn't give a F***.
Anyway You aren't so supposed to feel anything with Sheele,It really didn't matter.
I think Akame ga kiru isn't right for you and you Should stop watching if you're bent on Character development in here.There's almost no Character development for the Characters Except for Tatsumi its mostly focused on him.

Well I enjoy the Manga for what it is.Its fun to read and I really liked how AGK makes fun of Tropes in general,I think its intended.
Gore anime,Probably But I watch and Read it mainly because I want to see the Story unfold and What would be the fate of Night raid in the future? I want to see it for myself.
Tatsumi=Esdeath.F***ing die Mein.


I told someone that was bashing the manga a similar thing once and they said that they prefer stories where they know the main characters are safe winners no matters what and the only people to die are the nameless losers like in AoT and say that killing off main characters is force and used only in a cheap attempt to substitute actual good story telling.

Who's Scheele and why the heck should I care about her dramatic death when she could've easily killed Seiryu instead of cutting her arms again wasn't she supposed to be only good at killing without remorse?

She could've killed her, Seryuu could've easily shot her with the gun from her mouth earlier, as well. But she didn't. Seryuu simply put all her hopes for victory in the trump card of her teigu. When Seryuu forced Koro to go into Overdrive, it simply grabbed Schere's attention, because it posed a large threat for Mein.
Actually I'm a manga reader, and these are basic demands having strong characterization in our main cast, whom we're supposed to care about. And it is clear to me that Schere is a plot device and not a character, yet the show treats her as a fleshed out character we're supposed to cry for along with our cast. See my problem here?

And now we get into interpretational grounds, even as I watched that scene it seems like an easy missed opportunity to kill her. Now if we had time with Schere and see her close relationship with Mine, her actions and death would've carried more weight.

Oh and for the mixed setting: why isn't everyone using guns to begin with? It's pretty jarring if you pay attention to the background. There are small houses, paved streets, swords, carts, guards, fortified city, something one associates with a medieval setting. A magic gun is an easy exception, because it's magic, a fantasy element. But it's not really relevant, world building isn't exactly a concern for these series, it's more focused on the rule of cool.

sigh... predicted sheele's death last episode. even worse it is a death just to show how strong imperial arms are. shot by a gun in her mouth.... so fucking dumb, especially since sheele turned her back instead of finishing psycho girl off...


such a badly handled death. it is sad that she died but the whole thing was handled so badly...

and just to rub that stupid death in it is probably gonna take ages before seryu actually dies.


anyway. as always fight scenes are done really well, ost was great

The female characters seem like walking ideas and tropes. I like Leone, though... even if her transformation is rather disappointing. She could've become a badass, cool feral beast but, nooo, what about sex?? Boobs???? She needs to be sexy!!! Meh.

I've seen you argue a lot of points that usually are against popular opinion but I respect how you do it without being a troll and display some valid points.

In fact, your argument has opened my eyes to the fact that Schere was not a deep or important character at all. Though, I can see why people liked her since liking someone is just based on what someone personally finds appealing so that can't really be argued or changed, however arguing that Schere is not a deep fleshed out character is in fact very true and I respect how reasonable your being unlike some other people in this forum. Thanks and have a nice day.

I agree, but the fact of the matter is that he's blatantly trolling and trying to bait....Like I didn't notice until now but as Darklight pointed out in one of the earlier pages, all this guy does is go to popular threads and do this exact same thing

In fact, he and a lot more people like that did this exact same thing in Episode 1's thread like I stated

And to answer your question, this series is Shounen

This, oh-so-much this!
Instead of jumping back and cutting off the arm (which was a useless endeavour) she could have just killer Seryu, therefore shutting down the berserker and saving Mine by default. That's what ticks me off more than anything.

Someone compared Sheele's death to Mami, that's not really applicable. Mami's death was deserved and unavoidable due to the circumstances (she became big-headed due to suddenly getting a friend and being called a role model) while Sheele could have avoided this and except for the fact that the plot demanded it, WOULD have done the correct action.

Not sure what "White lights" are you referring to, watched it on animefreak uncensored.

But damn, this episode. Those that have not read the manga or known about this were pretty surprised right? I know I was, maybe I`m just a newb but still. Damn...that`s all I can say. I need to mentally prepare because now I know that more are going to die and I just...I cant, man. Why did I choose to watch this.?!

Now onto my thoughts about this episode: It was shit. Ok not really, but it could have been absolutely shit.

And yeah... No sorry but I couldn't really give two shits about Sheele <_<
We're back to cartoon villain of the week, but this time it's a cute girl with cute puppy thing that turns evil when it gets mad. Well, AT LEAST she put up a fight and didn't die like a useless sack of potatoes. And holy shit that OST was just amazing.

The action was really impressive, didn't need the pointless flashbacks and slow Sheele death, it should have just been instant and be done with it. It really ruined the mood (you probably see me as a heartless bastard now). On the story and characters side nothing really changed much, if not they got worse.

Shitty characters, meh story so far and the only things that have been worth watching for me so far are the action and the jokes (that ones that I found funny anyway). Normally I'd give this episode a 2/5, but I enjoyed the action a lot so 3/5.

Heh my post is more on the negative I think. So now to those who are enjoying this show way more than I am + for manga readers, my response to the inevitable "why do you keep watching if you don't like it?" (will spoiler it for those that don't care)

"Imperial Arms are tools. It will stop once its user is killed".

Better not kill her while she's at my mercy then, better let her do a small monologue, issue an order, and then turn around instead of killing on the spot.

Would have been a shocking death wasn't it so poorly handled.

You said it, its a demographic, kids from 12-19 years old dont appreciate deep or real serious plots but people still expect this AdK to be so. FMA, Death Note, Code Geass arent deep or serious enough, specially FMA (its the best example of a standard action shounen about friendship and justice done correctly). Any manga from naoki urusawa would be an example of what serious, deep or character development in a standard seinen would be.

Ok, I did not expect that at all. Didn't like the bipolarity of Serya, in a moment she makes the kind of innocent cool girl and the other turns a psychopath.

I mean, if she believes so strongly in the concept of justice, why she treat the "villains" as if she was a villain?

Edit: RIP Sheele :'(
