Though, they could add it in next episode since it's only adapting one chapter. But, to me, it isn't too big of a problem. They give a good, in depth analysis of the Teigus later. |
| I love how some of you are comparing it scene to panel with the manga. |

| Awesome episode, was kinda surprised at Akame at the end when she was relieved that Tatsumi was okay after his mission. |

LoomyTheBrew said: Vexper said: It is indeed a place fit for ranting, everyone is here giving their thoughts, however long they may be. Jesus dude, you're bitching is insufferable. If you hate it so bad then fucking leave and drop the show. The anime is adapting the manga very well and they're doing everything right. Stop trying to act and all high and mighty because you don't like, "dA FaNsERVICe" Seriously dude, it wasn't even that bad. Chill your fucking tits. This series has some lighthearted moments and I find the fanservice kind of funny and it isn't centered around it, it's just there here and there. If you think this show is only going to be about fanservice or whatever, then you're greatly mistaken. ____ Also people that are concerned about the bandit scene being cut out, that scene was very pointless in the manga and it didn't really mean anything. It would have killed the pace if they included it so I'm glad they left it out. White Fox has been a great job so far so to the few that are so hurt from this episode, just drop it. Seriously, no one is forcing you to watch this. You'll be the ones missing out on a great show, fine by me. Grow up and learn that not everybody will agree with you, I'm not going to reply past this if you're only capable of responding in that manner. You're misreading my posts, I said this episode was awful, not the anime as a whole. The first episode was largely enjoyable so I'm going to keep on with the series. If they're adapting it very well, then I have no idea why it's so well regarded, it just comes across as a typical edgy show which is going to be ripe with fan service, as if one of the characters wasn't already built around that notion already. If Light hearted moments and fan service are something you enjoy then eat it up, because those moments in this show seemingly serve as derailment to the plot. The pacing and sudden change of mood is going to be awful if they dedicate portions of their episode to show just how well they draw swimsuits, in which next episode they're going to give us another taste of their skills again... I know nobody is forcing me to watch the show, I've got it set as average, it's nothing more than that to me. Keep the immature attitude up though, I'm sure it will go far in promoting conversation. |

| Decent episode... they skipped some stuff from the manga but it was still pretty enjoyable. Im glad that they are keeping censorship at minimum. |
| And here I was thinking to myself: I hope they don't kill it with too much fan service... It was a good episode, as a non-manga reader I have no qualms as of now. I'm curious as to how these people fight and their development.. I thought Tatsumi would be your regular swordsman but I was wrong. |

| Sucks that they cut out like half of chapter 2, but oh well. Still enjoyed it. |

As a manga reader I must say that it may be a little fanservice-ish right now with these early episodes since there is room to fill some but later on there is going to be literally no room for fanservice and its going to be pure action and awesomeness so just stick with it because it will definitely get better. |

I called you out and I'm glad I did because you're really just making a mockery of yourself. If you can't handle a little fanservice then I can't help you. I wonder how you make it through most shows because fanservice is almost in every anime. Anyways, I've said my piece, but all I can say that you're jumping the gun so hard right now. I could tell you that the start is just setting things up, but that won't do any good because you're so concerned over a little skin and boobs. Oh well. |

| They skipped some stuff as far as I can remember. Been ages since I read those early manga chapters. But no biggy. There's a lot more colour than I expected though. Kind of expected the colour palette of this show to be more subdued, more greys and browns so to speak. Is it just me or did every lady in Night Raid (except Leone of course who was already stacked) have their boobs grow like by 2 cup sizes? |

The beginning is a little lighthearted and like you said, there's room for the fanservice. The tone shift will be coming in a few episodes and everything will change after that. I think it's going to take a lot of people off guard and I'm looking forward to people's reactions. |
| Could people stop saying fan service this and fan service that it is rather annoying and not exactly true anyway. So this episode Akame was in a swimsuit what of it? She was hunting fish and took off her clothes to dive for them. Now if she stripped off her clothes and she was naked with no swimsuit even though she planned to hunt then yes that would of been fan service but she was wearing a swimsuit to swim so sorry i can not really get all annoyed about that. Also this episode there were 2 topless guys vs the 1 scene Akame was hunting but i do not see anyone calling the guys being shirtless fan service even though they were well built. Also one of them was shirtless in the same scene Akame was in a swimsuit but no one complains because he took off his shirt to swim which people were fine with but then people bitch about Akame lol what? |

| Good episode. I hope that they'll adapt the 2nd half of chapter 2 later on... Laughed at the airhead book XD 4/5 |
 |
| Really this season is a freaking monster when it comes to number of good animes in it. |
| Good episode, but I thought the fanservice was a bit excessive. Didn't expect that. |
| Why is Tatsumi not mourning over his friends' deaths? |
| Aww.. They skipped Nevertheless, it was an OK episode. I just can't wait to see |

Shadow-Samaaaa said: Why is Tatsumi not mourning over his friends' deaths? They skipped a small part of that too |
| The base infiltration was the best part, so disappointing they cut it. Seems that they're going to be cutting out more chapters and it will probably continue that way for that rest of the series. Hopefully they don't take it too far and completely ruin it. |

| The guy and his naïve thinking... really liked how he got teamed up with Akame and of course how he killed the ogre. Though I hope he learned that it is important to confirm the death of the target -.- Next week he'll be teamed up with miss violent... I hope it won't be boring. |

kikohunter said: Well to be fair, the next few episodes(3-4-5) won't be very dark because it's the introduction of characters, world building and all that. Also the anime will get considerabky dark and gritty once the battle system is introduced and(hopefully) the anime will get a lot better and the action and pacing will be great. I give it until the introduction of because after that the story gets really really good. Haha, it sure would be interesting to see |

T3hSource said: Still 1000 times better than getting filler content...At least we're getting to see exactly what happened in the manga which is hard to find in anime adaptations these daysI love how some of you are comparing it scene to panel with the manga. |
| Action and service. Exactly how I want it ;3 Still don't like that monster voice thing. |

| really enjoying this anime. akame is an early favourite. was expecting the main character to wuss out and struggle to kill but was pleasantly surprised when he went BA on ogre |

Hopefully they don't take it too far and completely ruin it. |
| Well, found my new profile picture (for some sites) I hope to see some great fanart as well in future :P |
 |
| 5/5 Awesome episode and so far nothing annoying or stupid. Haven't read manga but I don't see any problems with pacing or characters and fanservice is only bonus. Looking forward to next episode! |

Duri1n said: Well, the atmosphere here felt a little more natural than the first episode ie the blend of comedic n dark moments didnt clash too much. But I'm still findig it a little difficult to understand the logic behind some of the things goin on. I dunno what it is, but something abt Night Raid's missions and thought process bug me. Somethings feel childish and eerie at the same time. It's hard to imagine Night Raid being part of a 'noble' rebel grp, if the series does go on to end with the rebels triumphing over the corrupt govt and caring abt citizens and all, I'd be a little scared... kinda like promotibg the idea of overthrowing the entire govt just cause some r corrupt, whih is stupid since every govt has corrupt officials. Also, saying oppositions always think abt the ppl's interest and the proof is that the current govt isn't doing a good enough job? Er.., yeah, kinda scary.... things just feel too black and white in this show so far... everyone in the kill list so far has been shown to be truly evil bastards... i dont really get what im saying myself, so forgive me for spouting nonsense if I did. Also, Tatsumi's mind feels all over the place I'm also finding it difficult to understand why he acts the way he does. It's weird to know a wanted dangerous criminal group own a freaking castle... Akame's transformation when she was checking to make sure Tatsumi ws safe was a little sudden and put me off a bit... I dont know why, but I kinda got a lone wolf and cub feel when I saw that Fiancee requesting for Ogre's assassination scene. Animation was pretty awesome during the Ogre vs Tatsumi scene, but everything else was nothing special imo... Character designs are a bit too flashy for me so far, tho I'm gettin used to them. I think this show will get better later on, i'm just a bit confused abt the world it's in so far. I'm not sure it deserves the 8.36 rating t currently has. Feels way too high for the show at present NOTE: It's late where i am, so i was sleepy when i typed it. Looking bk, even im a bit confused at wth im saying. So, sorry abt that. Still contains my thoughts, albeit rather messily I respect your view, but I can also respect those that have given it an 8.36 Akame ga Kill has a pretty bold start and I'm not saying it's groundbreaking, but you have got to give it credit for its "take no prisoners" kind of attitude. We don't have a stupid, justice MC that's a total bitch. He's willing to kill people and get the job done because it's the right thing to do, the animation is really nice, the setting is pretty stellar, and the dark undertones are intriguing. I get why people are liking it a lot right now. I'm totally biased because I'm huge fan of the manga, but I think you and maybe others will feel that 8.36 score is well deserving for this series in a few episodes or maybe halfway through. I personally don't rate shows until they're finished and I wish that people couldn't rate shows until it was at least halfway through. Even I was a little surprise that AgK was in the top 200 already haha. It's only been two episodes! |
Tokoya said: The title of the next episode is the title of the next chapter (Chapter 4)...This episode adapted chapter 3 in its entirety Got the title mixed up. Anyway, they'll probably continue doing 2 chapters per episode when there really is no need to. |
|
| a bit rushed but another awsome episode! |

kikohunter said: The mourning was at the beginning of the episode but correct me if I'm wrong, they forgot to state that Tatsumi was griving for three days straight in the anime. Well I'm pretty sure that he does that for a few chapters so maybe that's what you're missing? |
| shitty story with useless fanservice |
