| 5/5 Nerdgasm. |
| “Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?” |
| It was okay, I have mixed feelings. The execution and direction is not bad at all, in fact it's pretty good. Production values seem high but a lot of cheap tricks to pass that, but it could be a lot worse. The writing seems generic though despite having "deaths" and people will suck it up for being grimdark and such. The twists are silly too. But it's one of the better things this season (that's not saying much at all though). Will most likely get worse hah. That Aria flip out though, what the hell. |
| Thought it was a solid opener. I just hope the tone doesn't continue to go in and out of serious to comical like that, that was the only thing that really bothered me. It just made Tatsumi look shallow, after I'd already started to like his character. His "skeptical of everything now" face was hilarious. I don't mind him being naive as it leaves obvious room for development. I actually expected more from White Fox with the art and animation, not that it's bad though. And the OST was of course great. |
 |
| Loved the OP and ED. Great first episode! Glad the MC isn't a pussy and just killed the bitch. Animation was good and the OST fits perfectly. I've not read the manga so hopefully they won't rush it. |
 |
| Fan service, cartoony characters, senseless gore, pretentiousness and a plot twist that makes no sense (Just as some convenient characters, like that guard who randomly delivered important plot elements). What we learned in this episode of Akame Ga Kill: Social inequality isn't bad because of complicated social problems, but because rich people are cartoony psychopaths. Hurr durr so deep animu of the year hurr durr 2/10 (It gains a point because gore is fun) |

Hurr durr so deep animu of the year hurr durr 2/10 (It gains a point because gore is fun) You should probably stop watching anime and go for MLP.. I gave it a 10 for starters cause this is probably the first 1st ep of an anime in a long time I watched like hypnotized. |
| WHAT. WAS. THAT. During the second half of the episode I even forgot to eat. Finally a MC with the balls, man! And it isn't even censored.. The animation is average, the art as well, but this will be a funny ride. I liked it. 5/5 |
| I've read a few chapters of the manga and I like how they haven't skipped anything, at least so far. The OP and ED weren't bad either. Watching that spear throw animated.. So satisfying. Looks like this is one of the best anime this year. |
| My body wasn't ready |
 "I'm really feeling it" |
| Better adaptation than I expected |

| I was honestly expecting much more from the start of the season's centerpiece. Probably the worst first episode till now. Still, it is my opinion. Waiting for this to persuade me. |
| It was pretty good. The only minor flaw I noticed (and I don't if it is the same for people who didn't read the manga) was that they should've started the first episode without any opening whatsoever, because it pretty much completely spoilered the twist of the episode by showing him as part of the assassins in the beginning (that they were actually the good guys). But well, other than that it was okay I think, even though I also liked the atmosphere in the first Tokyo Ghoul episode a bit more, because here the pacing with the jokes was a bit 'meh'. |

| First episode lived up to the hype in my opinion! Cannot wait to see more! |
| Man I was worried about the animation because of what I saw in the preview for this but maan is it clean. Man its 24 episodes too ohmagod. I'm sooo hyped for this anime 5/5 D; |

| holy clashing elements hell the comedy and character design just does not go with the overall setting and story of the series and the desire to include gore tatsumi just found out he lost his two friends who got tortured to death horribly. grieves for two seconds kills the little psycho rich girl and DURR COMEDY overall setting of the world is pretty good animation is great aswell and when it comes to enjoyable fights the series probably won't disappoint character design is awfully generic and seems out of place music was great gonna continue watching because of the fights but man this could have been SOOO MUCH better |
| Hmm..after watching a few selected scenes again it seems like the fight scenes might work out in the long run. They should really be careful where to cut budget, though.

Without the gore I doubt it would've been that popular. |
DancingJack said: Even though I'm a manga reader, I would have preferred it this way for new viewers. NO RANDOM WHITE LIGHTS OR BLACK LINES! YES! I was really scared this series would be censored but now I'm happy. I think they focused to much on the comedy in the anime (I don't think it was that much in the manga IIRC) but overall I'm very satisfied with adaption so far.It was pretty good.

What do you mean? The guard knew the MC would probably die, why would he share a information with him that could get them both executed? Especially because the information didn't exactly helped the MC. Homm said: You should probably stop watching anime and go for MLP.. Hmm... And your point is? |
| pretty good episode and its not censored so I'm IN! |
 |
| wtf that shit was messed up. Completely retarded and wimpy ass MC, but doesnt hesitate to kill a girl. The Night Raiders seem cool, and I suppose they are probably rebelling against the empire. Seems like the only thing thats going to drag this show down is the MC himself. |
~my list
| Sick episode! Night Raid members are hella cool :D |
| Well whatever, I expected some hate, mainly cuz there was a lot of hype from the fanbase. I'm no stranger to hating hyped anime either. |
| Should really tone the light hearted scenes when some serious stuff is going on. |

| IT'S FINNALLY HERE!!! So the first episode was basically the first chapter step-by-step. This is good, since maybe this means they will not try to create special anime developments that didn't exist on the Manga. Like always I'll not rate yet since I always wait for at least 3 episodes before the first voting, however I must say we're up to a (very) good start!! I just hope I don't get attached to characters that I know are already dead, since I hate seeing the "heroes" fall. Anyway it was a good first episode with no censorship (thank god). If I had to point out the negatives, then I must say that the environment seemed too "jolly" for my taste, but I hope that changes soon enough. |
Personal tastes are like peoples behinds, each one has its own, and only those who wants to find [...] will smell one another. |
| "hai we are Night Raid, we are the protectors of the common folk in the evil psychopath city so the first thing we do is steal from poor peasants who come here and leave them broke to rot on the streets to be massacred or tortured by maniacs" |
| I felt that it was alright but felt a lot more light hearted than how the manga presented itself. Although not necessarily ruining my opinion of the first episode, I felt that the "scene" was brushed off way too easily with light hearted humor that I could not recall in the manga (I may be wrong as I have not read it for a year or so now) |
 |
| Time to go read the Manga. I heard about the Manga a good while ago and then I heard they were making an anime, but after watching the first episode, I NEED MORE. The premise is so great and I like all the characters so far. The main character is just a bit like your typical MC really. Though, he doesn't care about killing without hesitating which is awesome. Good first episode! |
 |
| Average at best starting episode. I'd rate it 4/10 by now. Didn't hesitate to grab the viewer's attention with boobs and over-the-top stupid gore. The MC is generic as fuck, the cartoony faces ruin the mood when it's supposed to be serious, the pacing was incredibly off (just too much in one episode), the clichéish Rich-people-are-evil-just-cause-"plot twist", characters like the guards just spouting things about the plot but an awesome soundtrack. Nothing to get hyped about in my opinion. |
| I really dont get the hype for this...It was ok at best. |

Kirion said: kikohunter said: Troll #1 detected! Not trolling, genuinely amazed at what would you like in this shit. Bad art, bad animation, bad cliche story, bad attempts at humor. Yay gore? Man no clear direction after the first episode? Darn this anime must be the pits. No seriously though talking about story and fights after a single episode of being aired makes you look like a total asshat. |
| Hum , the OP show 2 much to be showed b4 the 1st episode. If the anime end up being half as good as the manga this will be an awesome season. |
 |
| What an interesting start to the show. I had a feeling they would adapt the first chapter but didn't expect the pacing to be so fast. My only complaints is the pacing and the generic MC but besides that it was a good first episode. |
  |
| Exciting episode, but it was so weird how everything got comedic after his childhood friend just died in front of him... This anime seems like something from the early 2000s with the art and awkward still screens. |
| Ah, yes, saying "them boobs" instead of "that girl". Such a dudebro kind of humor. I'll give it an episode or two maybe, but, eh, not my cup of tea - everything's TOO convenient and the MC was... terrible? Also the plot seems so generic i've seen it a couple of thousand times. Maybe it'll get better later on. |
| tbf to white fox. The first chapter, from what i have gathered, is about 90 pages long. I believe we can expect the pacing to not be an issue from this point on. |
