So I just finished this show and I thought it was enjoyable characters were cool, plot was interesting, violent, fight scenes were great. Why do so many people hate it? I know almost everyone dies and esdeath ended up with tatsumi (she was sexy lol). I never read the book I just watched this show on netflix and I liked it finished it in 5 days.

No idea OP. I also enjoyed it greatly and thought it was pretty cool.

They say the manga was better cause they survived but I prefer the end to the anime. It had more impact and considering they were assassins (not good guys) and ready to die at any time it got the message better across.

Literally made me finish the anime in one day btw so its good in my book.

People didn't like it because the manga wasn't finished. Up until 20 episodes or something, everything was just fillers only. The characters weren't suppose to die. They were never meant to at all. Since you finished Akame ga Kill, remember when Kurome died in that one episode? (I forgot what episode it is. It's been a long time.) She wasn't suppose to in the manga. And yes, I read the manga.

Sidenote: I'm not forcing you to hate the anime and love the manga. If you enjoy it, it's fine by me. Just saying.

Its not hated as much as it is controversial. Some people didn't like the deviation from the manga for whatever reason. Others might not have liked the show, I mean nothing is universally liked.Plus it kind of blew up, so people who normally would not have watched it, watched it.

I personally did not like the tone shifts. It was a cool but forgettable show. My fondness of the show has decrease overtime.

This anime was very boring, deaths are very forced that are just to manipulate watcher emotionally and every character except Esdeath have no personality. I could not even finish it, when I knew that episodes 20-24 were filler, I stopped.

I can't understand how people can say that Aria is the most boring anime, when this anime is way boring than Aria.

Ep 20-24 is filler. They contain 4 deaths that did not occur in the manga because the manga and deviate entirely from the manga because the manga had not been written yet

Yeah you're right but i wouldn't call it a filler because this is an original ending arc from the anime so basically they just changed it and technically it's not a filler....

They weren't filler per se, they were anime original episodes loosely based on events of the manga.

It’s bad that’s why. Fake deep anime. Trashy characters that we hardly got to see actually develop before they all just got killed off. Most of their personalities were trash too I personally only liked akame. And I’m not even one of those people who hate sad endings I love them and i love deaths as well. And I understand why they needed to die I just didn’t care lol

Because they want to find meaning in every death. And they don't know that in real life not all deaths have meaning. And evils are going to be evil. And there are tons of people that are evil for the sake of evil. They simply think that everyone have a "good" reason for being evil. But that isn't always the case.
This anime is simply to realistic to how things were back in time. Although the anime was realistic in these situations but also very generic in things like the characters and power system. Personally i liked it, 8/10 or 7/10 i dont remember which one was it.
But the reason people hate it is because they dont want deaths that are meaningless so they think that the deaths are only so we become sad. It kinda is but that's not the whole point. Another point is war is extremely sad thing and death isn't waiting for you
Edit : also lack of character development. Because yes this anime follows the logic that someone won't change easily( like most time in real life) So of course there wont be any character development.
Although i like character developments, i dont mind if there isn't any. Like "Guilty pleasure"

I personally dont hate the show but it was very predictable and over time became nearly unbearable to watch. It's not bad, it's just a little cliche imo. I love the designs and music and animation, but the plot and deaths were rather predictable. The violence and action is pretty cool, however when it came to main deaths, it was beyond predictable for me. Idk how it compares to the manga so I wont say anything about that. Its personal taste for me but I can see the unnecessary hatred for the show. I love me some gory action shows but that and the romances of this show can put some people off. Idk, just my thoughts.

I never finished this because I wanted a happy ending (read the manga). Still, many people tend to be displeased with this show because it unjustifiably kills off characters and lacks a bit of world-building/political building, etc. I would even go as far as to say that the characters' "uniforms" don't fit with the tone/setting of the anime.

These are just a few reasons, though, and it really depends on what you watched it for. If you don't care about the small details or don't critically analyze whatever you're watching, then it really doesn't matter.

IMO the only interesting character is Esdeath. The rest of the show was kind of boring or infuriating.

The show is very tonally inconsistent. One scene is trying to be emotional but fast forward 1 frame later Lione is cracking a joke. The characters feel lifeless and dull, have no personalities whatsoever, the worldbuilding is dogshit and the show feels like its trying to force me to cry when they kill of a character for no reason but fails hard because they do nothing to actually earn an emotional reaction.

I watched it as 13 year old kid and liked it but it doesn't hold up whatsoever on rewatch when you have to think about it, which the show wants to do to, take it seriously.

Every death can’t be made meaningful is there’s like 30 of them. I can’t lie but the music was really good.

Don't know about others. I don't hate this series. What annoys me is unnecessary ruthless killing of Night raid members.
Sheele dies, Ok that's fine but what was the need to show that a dog ate her or Chelsea's head hanging in the middle of the city.
They are likable characters. There was no need to show such nonsense.

I just got bored because it seemed towards the end it was relying so heavily on shocking deaths but because they were killing literally everyone off I didn’t care anymore

I couldnt care less about the manga. It bothers me how some people automatically write off a serious just because it wasnt 100% faithful to the manga. Who cares if its different? Its anime. If you dont like it you have the manga to enjoy.

That being said I finished the anime yesterday and I was quite dissapointed. I binged it in one go and I really enjoyed it up to episode 19 then it just went downhill. Fights felt less impactful and some were cut short. I also felt like some deaths were forced just for shock value. They didnt shock me at all tbh I didnt feel much for any of the characters except for maybe Bols and Leone. It just got a bit silly by the end. I also was never a fan of the MC as he was very average. It bummed me out because I was really enjoying it. Not even sure what score to give it.
