Well damn, Tatsumi died. Incursio evolving was cool I guess.

I don't know how I feel about this episode. Can't believe Tatsumi actually died..

At least we're getting Akame vs. Esdeath. Better be a good battle. Definitely the most disappointing adaption this year (for me).

This episode was really good, like I didn't think that it would have been on this level. I'm gonna go in depth this time too

1. Apart from Tatsumi (I'll get to him soon) I really loved what they did with Wave, the emperor and most of all Ran. The reason why I say this is because with the Emperor, we all knew that he was being used and he couldn't see it but once he entered the mech it became more than that. We saw his inner conflict with himself which makes sense because for a kid to be a ruler, a lot I'd expected of him and it's hard to follow 1000 years of greatness so the pressure from that got to him. But even then he still showed that he wasn't truly evil because he did realize that what he was doing was wrong and he even begged Tatsumi to stop fighting so that he couldn't hurt his people even more

In regards to Wave and Ran, they did exactly what I expected then to do in the manga, especially Ran because like I said, this is what the manga foreshadowed for his character before they messed up his character, so for me Anime Ran>>Manga Ran, the level of depth they gave him was great

2. The action was superb, all of the fights were awesome, Ran's abilities were showcased very well, Akame was badass, that Wave and Tatsumi teamup was great (I really want to see that happen in the manga) and the mech battle in general was actually decent.

3. Tatsumi.....I'd be lying if I said that everything that happened with him was bad. He stayed true to his ideals, he never backed down, his thoughts never wavered and that one scene where he remembered what Aniki said....That was amazing, everything from that point was amazing and I genuinely felt sad that he died but he went out swinging like a badass and WF in commend you for that

My only nitpick is that I wanted them to use the manga trams formation design but this one wasnt all that bad, I liked that he got wings tho.

This was the best original episode to date imo....Next episode is gonna suck, I don't want to see Esdese die lol

Can someone summarize real quickly what the differences between the manga and the anime are? Thanks.


*SPOILERS**

Bolick was killed differently
Cathedral fight was esdeath vs najenda, Susanno, tatsumi, and leone
Wave fought mine, lubbock, and akame
Mine is still alive, their relationship had more development in the manga
A group named wild hunt led by syura
And a shit ton of development

There's more but just read the manga....


wat? no it's about the same.

I don't know what's more comedic... the show or the reactions of the mangafans.

Hard to believe people were trying to sell this as some sort of epic grimdark stuff before it aired.

Well, maybe it will not be so bad after-.... aaaannnd it turned into Digimon.

I sure hope the guy who wrote in the last episode discussion that it would end with Tatsumi doing a Natsu-like nakama power punch to finish the fight picks up that phone... because he f***ing called it.

LOL Golden Batman Tatsumi.

Although surprisingly I absolutely loved this episode, so glad they killed Tatsumi leaving Akame to finish this series against Esdeath. I honestly have no complaints about this episode I hope the manga will be much better but I liked it anyway. Tatsumi got to have some flashbacks and it was a really fitting end to him. For the leader of Night Raid Najenda didn't do much. I was sorta hoping Wave would be the one to kill the emperor or Run to make up for losing there development.

Wave being beside Kuromes grave that whole time was great to :D

Here's what I don't get...if you're a manga purist who keeps saying "LOL THIS SHOW IS SO BAD, I'M GONNA DROP IT", then why keep watching it? In your mind, the show isn't worth watching, so what's the point in coming back to complain about it? Personally, yeah, the mecha thing was weird and a little TTGL like, but I think overall the show is very enjoyable. Manga purists are the worst.

The ultimate teigu reminds me a little of Macross o.o

Tatsumi transforming and destroying the ultimate teigu, I found it sort of lame to actually die from stopping it from harming anymore people. He did die fighting if not anything else.

What a bummer, Tatsumi dies and Leone gets to live I would've wanted them both to live so that the ending will at least be happy. I also was waiting for Esdeath <3 to prevent the mecha from falling to the townspeople with her ice powers at least something good happens. Akame with her grief and sorrow for [2]episodes now is giving me goosebumps everytime she cries and screams of anguish. Props to (Amamiya, Sora-sama) for giving justice to her profession. Very very good work!

Akame v Esdeath is going to happen, but I just can't take this they're both me fave female characters and one of them has to die (╯; _ ;)╯︵ ┻━┻ or both maybe?

They should make 1-2 OVA's out of this if they leave the anime with a slight cliffhanger. 5/5 always and the golden incrusio was alright, I dont want them spoiling the Manga with a 1 episode screening of the dragon incrusio and eventually dying thats what makes it 5/5. The dumb lord just kept blastng away at the town for no apparent reason.

Well as an Anime only viewer i think this not so bad. IDK how the manga reveals itself but i like tbe thing that you can't be sure sb will survive even if it's MC. And that's what i like the most with this anime. Well final episode next week Akame vs Esdeath OoOOoo

Nice episode. I have to say this anime has gotten at least 2x better since Mine's death. I seriously believe she is one of the worst characters to have ever been created in any manga or anime.

This episode reminded me a bit of Evangelion ending and Gurren Lagann.
And I previously said that Akame is the main character since the series is named after her. I definitely think she is going to survive (at least in the anime).

Tatsumi died, but oh well. Serves him right for going for Mine lol.

If only this anime didn't have those few really shitty episodes before it could have been overall very good...

1) Anime changes "divine wings" to "god's wings".

2) Leone was in the air helpless, facing a Teigu user that has supremacy in the air......yet Run doesn't kill her. Leone even says "crap" but yet she still managed to survive the supposed final battle.

man, this episode had lots of feelings especially when they showed Bulat talking to Tatsumi when he used Incursio and then the one where they showed Tatsumi remembering all the Night Raid members and saying he won't die then he fucking dies.

Stupid. This isn't right. I was sure he'll survive but then the MC dies, what? I was hoping that he'll live with the remainder of Night Raid considering we'll lost so many good members already. Just sad :'(

Also, I expect Esdeath to die next episode. She's all that remains that is resisting the rebellion and Akame is fired as hell after seeing Tatsumi die infront of her eyes :(
