| I found the second episode worse than the first one. At least the first one had that lunatic family. Again bland humor which again I will say it feels anti-climatic when the series is supposed to be gory. And the only character I don't find annoying so far is Akame. |
| Thread cleaned. Removed lots of offtopic, baiting, ridiculous back and forth arguments that are borderline insults. Let people have their own opinions on the anime people. A friendly reminder: "THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE." There is a point to this title. You can't expect anime only watchers to just go ahead and read the manga to be able to judge the show. If people want to judge the anime based on 2 episodes they can. This is NOT the manga discussion. I repeat, do NOT tell people "go read the manga lol" because that misses the entire point of having an anime discussion. Also tone it down on the spoilers. Again the capslock post from above. If you want to discuss something that isn't really far away it's not particularly bad but refrain from posting about stuff that's atleast 10-15 chapters from here and might probably not even be included in the first cour. |

Mob mentality is fun. Using brains is bad. 3. Then what's the point of betting races then? - false analogy. First few episodes are setup for the goals of a show, they portray the atmosphere present the characters and the goals of the story, you can judge and criticize even just on that, nobody's saying the "whole" is bad, just the pieces we've been given. 1. ...or is it? Looks like it's going to be like that with the way WF is cutting scenes to make it so. Still, he wasn't M Bison. 2. Yes. 3. Gambling is only beneficial to the companies that run it. |

| I don't dislike the fanservice actually I like it, the important thing is that they must not exaggerate with it. Also I'm quite surprised that Tatsumi won his first fight, I expected him to lose. I must admit I'm not a fan of the girl with pink hair, so I don't know if I will enjoy the next episode but whatever. |

| This anime is so shit. Horrible stereotype characters. Generic world. Black and White morality. No animation. Fanservice and random comedy at the most inappropriate times. OP maincharacter. Shounen troupes everywhere. Shitty art and unengaging soundtrack. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| I think that this episode was way better than the last one. It felt more clear and it made more sense. I love how the MC is pretty epic and boss in this episode. Can't wait for next week's tsundere episode xD 5/5 for this one from me~ |

| In all seriousness, it could be better. That's not to say it's a bad show only that because of the faults mentioned above (aside from op main) the show in my eyes is decent at best where it sits now. Hopefully that will change in time. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

I appreciate and respect your opinion. But when people come in saying "OP Main character desu~!Such plot armor desu~! Go home you baka's and watch YuruYuri and BokunoPico desu~!" ... It becomes hard to respect anything they say. Now i realize other people may not read things the same way as i do. But when i read it, words get added. I can't help it. Its a gift and a curse!

kikohunter said: @7thVoid I never said you're a troll. That other dude was vashing the 2 episodes that are out without even having some sort of decent argument to validate his statements. He's a troll, you're not. I know the adaption so far hasn't been awesome, the source material also didn't start really good until chapter 6-7 so it make sense. There's a fair amount of problems with the directing, pacing, characters interaction and with the overall production values but let's hope White Fox can show us the White Fox that gave us something like Steins; Gate. I know you weren't calling me a troll so it's all good man. I was just frustrated seeing another comment about someone not liking a series. I personally have been called one before for simply stating my honest opinion so that's all that was. I'm also hoping it gets better over the course of the season. -Aero- said: I appreciate and respect your opinion. But when people come in saying "OP Main character desu~!Such plot armor desu~!

But when i read it, words get added. I can't help it. Its a gift and a curse! I get that. Everyone has their own way of looking at things. If you didn't already know I was stating that tatsumi isn't op'd. If anything the poor boy has some ways to go to be that. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

kikohunter said: pLaguE_ said: I like how they completely ignored the "if he could actually kill" moment. What do you mean by that? Akame claimed that he wouldn't actually be able to kill when the time comes. He first swung his sword out of hatred. Of course he made all these claims about how corrupt people are and wanting to end that. When the time comes when he is supposed to kill Ogre, it just happens. The morality of the situation doesn't happen even though it was brought up earlier. There is no inner collision with his own ideals. He just swings his sword, but again they were talking about morals not 5 minutes before that. |

All I know is that this show is just a swing your sword anime but pokes at the thoughts of moral dilemmas but never actually does anything about them. |

| How could they skip really hope its in the next episode. After such a strong start, this episode was an incredible disappointment. |

Doesn't matter if it wasn't in the manga, it's in the series and it can potentially ruin the pacing and mood of it regardless. Tatsumi has had a glimpse at the type of people he'd be assassinating anyway yet by no means was it evident that he'd have trouble killing anyone based on his own morals. If anything he should just have a split personality. That would explain why he can kill in cold blood when he couldn't even imagine doing so to begin with. |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Hmmmmm I feel like some of the manga readers forget that the manga started out exactly the same as the anime in terms of pacing and everything. Maybe some of have forgotten about that since after chapter 7 it gets ridiculously good. Maybe it was because reading panel to panel we could digest the scenes a little better and it didn't seem like such a jump with the tone shifts. I personally see no problems with the tone shifts, it was done well this episode, but some are complaining about it, so maybe those shifts work a little better in a manga format and not in an anime format. Either way, these tone shifts become less drastic later so it's all good. But I think manga readers need to go back and read the first few chapters because it is exactly how the anime is, there's no difference. EDIT: Also I laugh at anyone that says that Tatsumi is OP. Just lol! You guys have no idea what's coming. Tatsumi has a lot of potential, but OP is not the right word. |

| Manga readers should stop giving the anime only watchers hints. If they believe the main characters is Op let them believe. But eventually when more episode comes out, they would realize how stupid some of their comments were. I can understand the frustration though when you here people say stuff that are totally wrong, and you really want to spoil them just to prove them wrong or give them hints, but it's best to let them watch the show and make the series itself give them the no, no you were wrong, answer. |
| All the characters are attractive, cat girl, red on Black BAMF girl. Yep, AOTS. Fuck SAO. |
 |
| When I first heard this was getting an adaption, I immediately stopped reading the manga and did my best to forget most of what happened, except for very important events. (Like character deaths.... god how I want to forget some of them....) Anyway because of that I'm really enjoying the anime so far. |

Alright. You're right about that. I'm going to do my best not to give hints unless someone blatantly tells me they want to be spoiled a bit and then I'll just throw it in a spoiler. I'll just let the insults fluctuate and then call out people on it later if need be (and if I can remember). Or better yet, they'll realize they were wrong as the anime unfolds. |

| Well, I can't tell whether he did train with Akame or not. She didn't teach him any useful thing like some lethal sword techniques or even how to catch a fish. |

winternight119 said: Testing the spoiler tag. Not even gonna read the rest of this thread for fear of spoilers (looking at you, LoomyTheBrew ;) Anyway, this was a good episode... as far as the main character is concerned, he seems so overpowered from the get-go. How did he get to be so skilled with a sword? Oh well. Haha, don't worry I didn't give anything big away. Just little hints here and there to back up some claims and prove others that they made wrong accusations, but in the end of the day it's kind of useless until everyone actually sees it happening. People need to see it to believe it sometimes so that's what they're going to have to do. Everyone has to wait. So I'm just not going to give anymore hints or whatever unless someone says it's ok. But I will explain details on what has been shown like.... Tatsumi and how he's so strong. Don't you remember that he said him and his friends trained all their lives and they practiced together? That's how he's so skilled. Plus, he practiced on Danger Beats which are very strong. That's how he had all that money in the beginning because he did Danger Beasts missions to gain all that cash. |

She taught him about concealing his presence. It's actually for a reason, a silly reason but a reason none the less. Did that really happen ? because I didn't notice her teaching him anything! she mentioned the part of concealing his presence if he wants to catch that strange fish but she never tough him how to. |

Satan-sama said: cyborgneko999 said: Ok ep & nice fanservice by akame 4/5. I think Akame's body deserves 5/5. I agree with this. Athletic body types all day, everyday. I prefer girls that gained a nice body through sports and physical activities, compared to girls that just naturally look good and maybe eat right. I mean don't get me wrong, I like all girls that have good bodies, I just prefer the athletic type of build with their muscles more toned. Anyways, I probably went into more detail than I had too so I'll just stop there, haha..... |

kikohunter said: @Orsonius So? Just because the characters are cliché(which some of them are not, they'll get development as the anime comes along) does that mean it's bad? It's one thing if they are bad handled cliché but imo AgK's set of haracters are extremeky well handled and there's enough characters that are likable to appeal to almost everyone. Lubbock and bulat are some of the best male characters ever in anime (judging from manga) and the female cast.....need i say more??! |
