Synopsis

Night Raid is the covert assassination branch of the Revolutionary Army, an uprising assembled to overthrow Prime Minister Honest, whose avarice and greed for power has led him to take advantage of the child emperor's inexperience. Without a strong and benevolent leader, the rest of the nation is left to drown in poverty, strife, and ruin. Though the Night Raid members are all experienced killers, they understand that taking lives is far from commendable and that they will likely face retribution as they mercilessly eliminate anyone who stands in the revolution's way.

This merry band of assassins' newest member is Tatsumi, a naïve boy from a remote village who had embarked on a journey to help his impoverished hometown and was won over by not only Night Raid's ideals, but also their resolve. Akame ga Kill! follows Tatsumi as he fights the Empire and comes face-to-face with powerful weapons, enemy assassins, challenges to his own morals and values, and ultimately, what it truly means to be an assassin with a cause.

Background

Akame ga Kill! is the anime adaptation of Takahiro's shounen manga of the same title, which is illustrated by Tetsuya Tashiro and was serialized in Square Enix's Gangan Joker from April 2010 to December 2016. The anime follows the source material through the first eight volumes of the manga, incorporating events from later issues as well, before concluding with an original story arc that deviates from the manga.

This is, in many ways, the kind of anime I never knew I always wanted. When people get mortally injured, they die. None of this "just a few weeks of rest" and you're back and stronger than ever. Every character is human, and has a human body with all its limitations. Of course this isn't the only anime that does this, but it was the first one that I saw that left such a lasting impression on me.

I give this show a 10/10 because of how no character is immune to death. There's no plot armor for anyone, friend or foe, and every character is ...

I came in here with below zero expectations and left very surprised. Don’t get me wrong, this ain’t the second coming of Jesus Christ but it sure is fun as hell. The edge, how seriously it takes itself, the character designs, everything works to just make for a good time. Of course, the biggest thing working against this is the story, specifically the plot progression and character development.

There are many small details and things throughout the series that don’t make sense, seem dumb, or just seem to be a vehicle for the plot to progress. One small example is at the end, where certain ...

Akame ga Kill is a show that's only good if you watched it when you're 14 years old. I can somewhat understand. Around 2016, a lot of "vulgar" media such as iDubbbz, Deadpool, and Sausage Party started gaining mainstream appeal with middle and high schoolers. Watching Akame ga Kill is the equivalent of watching that weird self-insert harem fanfic that weird kid made in 7th grade where all your classmates were into you and all the bullies got tortured and mutilated in the worst way possible. Plus, with lots of unnecessary swearing, mutilation, and rape.

And honestly, that wouldn't even be so bad if the show ...
