| For me it was a great episode, although well run and abrupt cuts, the direction is not the best, but in terms of adaptation is going well, the fanservice only helps me, who complains should be otomes those who were otherwise , would not speak anything, right? |

| The demonization of Ogre was hilarious. |

| Tatsumi is pretty badass when he needs to be. It was cool to see a new, happier side of Akame this episode! Can't wait to see Mine training Tatsumi. That last clip of her cracked me up. |
| It's like they've got a checklist of every shounen cliche to have ever existed. These villains are so laughably evil, it's so goddamn hilarious. 10/10 for pure enjoyment. |
| EPIC episode, Tatsumi decimated Ogre. |

| you are all talking like the manga is deaht serius, but to begin with, you have rly much comedy in the manga Mod Edit: Removed spoilers. |

| Great episode,looking forward for more. |

| The fight was.. a little disappointing. Kinda sucks that the animation wasn't that good but at least the OST is great. They did a better job with handling the comedy part I'll give them that, even though half the time it didn't work. But half is better than never. So wait this was the beginning of shounen training arc? How long will it take? Would be nice if it ends quickly because if each time he has to train we get villain of the week it will get repetitive. Characters kinda sucked, again, but I already lowered my expectations from last episode so it didn't bother me a lot this time. Well, can't really say that it's an improvement on last episode. It was, yet again, just an OK/meh episode 3.5/5 But here's to hoping it improves later on. |

| Im loving this more and more. Glad to see Tatsumi has the same mindset as I do when it comes to human trash. Also, Mamiko Noto plays Scheele (sp?) fucking awesome! |

| well... it needs to be better than that, or it is just another black bullet/mahouka... which kinda sucks... oh well, at least tokyo ghoul remains amazing |

I think at this point, I liked Tatsumi, Leone (My inner perv talking here lol) and Akame the most as well...But later on as the series progressed, they easily got replaced without a second thought lol (Although I still like them regardless) June93 said: I like how White Fox are portraying the fights, the weird looking stills kinda fits imo...The characters are too generic for me to remain invested and I can't take how terrible the narrative is. The fight is also poorly animated. And the development for these characters haven't fully started yet apart from the fact that they all realise and accept that nothing they do is noble or righteous and that they can all die at any given time because of karma and what not Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| Since it's only been two episodes I'd say it's decent enough. Still, I don't understand why this gets such high praise? It's good but not that good... yet. |

| so why is this popular? because it's a shonen and people die so it's dark and edgy eh? oh boy...so far this is quite the mediocre show with extremely one dimensional characters |

clash45 said: 7thVoid said: Since it's only been two episodes I'd say it's decent enough. Still, I don't understand why this gets such high praise? It's good but not that good... yet. Well it gets high praise from most manga readers because they know what interesting stuffs are going to happen. Nothing really has happen yet compared to the later scenes of the show. It really gets good later on starting at episode 6 or 7 I figured as much but not all adaptions work out so I'm hesitant to say it'll be as good as they believe. |

| Thread cleaned. Removed lots of offtopic, baiting, ridiculous back and forth arguments that are borderline insults. Let people have their own opinions on the anime people. A friendly reminder: "THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE." There is a point to this title. You can't expect anime only watchers to just go ahead and read the manga to be able to judge the show. If people want to judge the anime based on 2 episodes they can. This is NOT the manga discussion. I repeat, do NOT tell people "go read the manga lol" because that misses the entire point of having an anime discussion. Also tone it down on the spoilers. Again the capslock post from above. If you want to discuss something that isn't really far away it's not particularly bad but refrain from posting about stuff that's atleast 10-15 chapters from here and might probably not even be included in the first cour. |

Mob mentality is fun. Using brains is bad. 3. Then what's the point of betting races then? - false analogy. First few episodes are setup for the goals of a show, they portray the atmosphere present the characters and the goals of the story, you can judge and criticize even just on that, nobody's saying the "whole" is bad, just the pieces we've been given. 1. ...or is it? Looks like it's going to be like that with the way WF is cutting scenes to make it so. Still, he wasn't M Bison. 2. Yes. 3. Gambling is only beneficial to the companies that run it. |

| I don't dislike the fanservice actually I like it, the important thing is that they must not exaggerate with it. Also I'm quite surprised that Tatsumi won his first fight, I expected him to lose. I must admit I'm not a fan of the girl with pink hair, so I don't know if I will enjoy the next episode but whatever. |

| This anime is so shit. Horrible stereotype characters. Generic world. Black and White morality. No animation. Fanservice and random comedy at the most inappropriate times. OP maincharacter. Shounen troupes everywhere. Shitty art and unengaging soundtrack. |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| I think that this episode was way better than the last one. It felt more clear and it made more sense. I love how the MC is pretty epic and boss in this episode. Can't wait for next week's tsundere episode xD 5/5 for this one from me~ |

| In all seriousness, it could be better. That's not to say it's a bad show only that because of the faults mentioned above (aside from op main) the show in my eyes is decent at best where it sits now. Hopefully that will change in time. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

I appreciate and respect your opinion. But when people come in saying "OP Main character desu~!Such plot armor desu~! Go home you baka's and watch YuruYuri and BokunoPico desu~!" ... It becomes hard to respect anything they say. Now i realize other people may not read things the same way as i do. But when i read it, words get added. I can't help it. Its a gift and a curse!

kikohunter said: @7thVoid I never said you're a troll. That other dude was vashing the 2 episodes that are out without even having some sort of decent argument to validate his statements. He's a troll, you're not. I know the adaption so far hasn't been awesome, the source material also didn't start really good until chapter 6-7 so it make sense. There's a fair amount of problems with the directing, pacing, characters interaction and with the overall production values but let's hope White Fox can show us the White Fox that gave us something like Steins; Gate. I know you weren't calling me a troll so it's all good man. I was just frustrated seeing another comment about someone not liking a series. I personally have been called one before for simply stating my honest opinion so that's all that was. I'm also hoping it gets better over the course of the season. -Aero- said: I appreciate and respect your opinion. But when people come in saying "OP Main character desu~!Such plot armor desu~!

But when i read it, words get added. I can't help it. Its a gift and a curse! I get that. Everyone has their own way of looking at things. If you didn't already know I was stating that tatsumi isn't op'd. If anything the poor boy has some ways to go to be that. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. |

kikohunter said: pLaguE_ said: I like how they completely ignored the "if he could actually kill" moment. What do you mean by that? Akame claimed that he wouldn't actually be able to kill when the time comes. He first swung his sword out of hatred. Of course he made all these claims about how corrupt people are and wanting to end that. When the time comes when he is supposed to kill Ogre, it just happens. The morality of the situation doesn't happen even though it was brought up earlier. There is no inner collision with his own ideals. He just swings his sword, but again they were talking about morals not 5 minutes before that. |

All I know is that this show is just a swing your sword anime but pokes at the thoughts of moral dilemmas but never actually does anything about them. |

| How could they skip really hope its in the next episode. After such a strong start, this episode was an incredible disappointment. |

Doesn't matter if it wasn't in the manga, it's in the series and it can potentially ruin the pacing and mood of it regardless. Tatsumi has had a glimpse at the type of people he'd be assassinating anyway yet by no means was it evident that he'd have trouble killing anyone based on his own morals. If anything he should just have a split personality. That would explain why he can kill in cold blood when he couldn't even imagine doing so to begin with. |

This man is supposed to have served the empire for long but he lost to a really weak kid (how you put it) because of a -cool dialogue- and obviously because he is a baddie >;P Either MC is powerful or the anime gives simple plot blade (does this term even exist) to its characters. But obviously we know the answer. Speaking of which, the anime also forgot to add horns to him, make him breath fire whenever he speaks and add a "muahahaha" at the end of his dialogues. |
