This trailer was just awesome! I regret reading the manga now. :( It doesn't even look like it will be censored. so that's a +1. I think Akame ga kill will give SAO a run for its money in terms of which series will get the most hype. I can't wait. This and tokyo ghoul are the anime I'm really excited for this year.I Can't wait. XD Be hype people, be hype!

Here's the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOle_TmHE_A

It probably won't reach SAO level of hype and I honestly hope it doesn't. I really like the manga, it's a lighter version of berserk but I hope people don't raise expectations to an unreasonable level.

I also hope it doesn't turn out like AoT where it drags for a long time, but the way the manga is I doubt it will.

Will probably watch it because White-Fox, but I don't really like the Manga.

Trailer looks nice.

Lookin' pretty fucking beast. That music was pretty orgasmic.

Looking forward to this one.

Oh, so you don't want the series you love to get as popular as those because of what? Anti hype backlash? Don't get me wrong it can be annoying, but at the end of the day, the series you love is doing well in the anime/manga industry and that should make you happy.

Plus when a series is really popular you can bet your life that you will get another season for it. So there is more positive than negative. ;)

WOW.

I can't even right now. I was hyped before. Now I don't even know what I am.

Akame's voice sounds perfect. I was worried because it's the same VA from One Week Friends who played as Kaori, but not anymore.
Nop.

I agree, the music was really great and the trailer was pretty much high octane hype. My biggest hope is that White Fox won't butcher the adaption like A-1 did to SAO.

Well hype and popularity are two different things, hype sets expectations while popularity (although comes from hype) is generally a bi-product of hype, but not necessarily achieved only through it. Steins gate is a good example, was pretty low key when airing and blew up afterward. I hope Akame is the same way, as ridiculous hype only leads to disappointment.

I'm not going to lie, it would be pretty difficult to botch this adaptation unless they really really just straight up tried to, and judging by the amount of episodes I can pretty much guess where it would end. I just hope there isn't an anime ending and it does well enough to warrant another season.

The summer season can't come any quicker there's just so many quality shows that will be airing I can't believe it. I hope Akame ga Kill will ve able to come out on top or at least high on the list out of all of those!! For now it looks like they've been putting a lot of effort in this. The animation looks pretty and the OST(as well as the OP in the preview) sounds amazing. Regarding the censoring, I think they won't censor too much or anything.
The anime industry is dead, the otaku fanbase killed it.

I was skeptical before the PV, now I'm hyped.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

@skudoops
It's a edgy brutal battle shounen with an interesting world, didn't those aspects made Attack on Titan popular?
Though AoT's episodes were made with a consistent arc to them slowly building up hype within them just to leave you at the climax with excitement for the next episode. AgK simply can't have that, because it's more laid down and actually spends time with its characters!

SAO was more honest with its second arc as to what it is, displeasing people, will GGO have the same problem and people will turn to AgK instead by hearing others comparing it to AoT?

btw Berserk is still king.

Duuno... And I hate comparing it to anything, it's just make it look bad :p And yes, Berserk is king >:D Gotta love it if you liked AgK even one bit.

Well, this was on my plan to watch of this summer, or at least on my give a try one.

I didn't know before the trailer and honestly I still don't know now if this will keep me on.
But from the trailer I saw some things that make me well hope, and is at first the main character, that seems quite active.
Then blood and action, and twintails.

Haha, I too thought the same thing but it's actually Night Raid's 'first' appearance in chapter 1, at around page 47/48. Interesting coincidence though. ;)

Please be good and no censoring! Its too bad the GGO will probably overshadow this series with the super hype train the Sword Art Online has.

That's cause Schere is already in the house doing her job :3

Animation is decent, music is great

Fuarrrkk yeah, so keen for this. July 7 can't come soon enough

Was hoping to see Esdese in the PV though since I wasn't a fan of her character design and wanted to see what it looked like animated to see if it looks better in show
