The fight was one of the best so far (it was even better than in the manga), the animation was super fluid, romance between Mein and Tatsumi took off, and all everyone can talk about is an anime original ending? Why doesn't anyone discuss the episode for once?

The Wild Cunt arc was shit anyways, I'll be glad if they skip it. White Fox managed to deliver AgK this well so why does an AO ending automatically mean shit?


They also skipped Wave's best fight and Esdeath's fight as well. Are you that blinded by the pretty flashy pictures of the Mine VS Seryuu fight ?

I agree that they can still make a good ending but one decent fight from mine does not equal out to waves epicness in the wild hunt arc and the fight between esdeath and susanow

Are you that intolerant towards other people's opinions? Oh wait, you're that guy, so no wonders there.

And just because they skipped some shitty
doesn't mean that the characters you named won't get there chance to shine in whatever original content that's coming up.

Seryuu's death was glorious seeing it animated. Mine was so badass and OP this episode. I didn't expect an anime original ending so we'll see how this goes. Usually they're bad so i'm not expecting too much

The good news is that that leaves for another anime studio to reboot the series, with A+ animation instead of Toei-tier animation.

How often does this even happen though? There are plenty of anime that get bad adaptions that don't end up getting rebooted. I don't think Akame ga Kill has the kind of staying power that Jojo, FMA, HxH, etc. have to get a reboot.

So what? There are 5 episodes left, you act like there's no room to fit in any more and better fights from them. It's super annoying how everyone is so butthurt about their favorite scenes not getting adapted that they're already writing off the AO ending as shit. I think White Fox is doing a good job, and I'm not about to change my mind without watching how it turns out.

Good episode but I would of liked to see Seryuu survive that explosion. I really like Seryuu because she was one of those characters you love to hate but w/e. The good thing about not reading the source material is that you have no expectations for the adaptation so an anime only ending will not bother me.

So long Seryu. Mine managed to defeat her in the end.
Tatsumi made it just in time.
Looks like she is gonna confess to him.
Seems like they have made some changes as I don't remember some of it in the manga.

What's your point? All he said is that there might be fights in the original/rearranged/rewritten content to make up for what was skipped for now. I fail to see how anyone could deny that.

Its hard to believe that you're still so asshurt about what you saw in the preview, probably 8 hours ago when you started complaining. Seems to me like all you're trying to do is discourage the rest of the viewers from finishing the series with your negativity.

I would say that this was one of my favorite episodes so far.. Loved it. So many things happened in this episode. Mine was badass and I'm so glad that she killed that demonic dog and Seryu (I really thought that Mine is going to die). I'm so happy that we got to see development on Mine's character (and Tatsumi's character). I really think that she has now other purpose to live for because of Tatsumi. I can't wait for the next episode.

Am I the only one who got romance vibes from that ending sequence?

Guys, answer me. Mine asking Tatsumi to talk to her when the battle ends because she wants to tell him something IS CERTAINLY a death flag, isn't it?

It's not the fights per say... well for me anyway.

Like certain characters are going to be completely unresolved... some people wanted to know about the mysterious Run... well too bad not enough time... some people wanted some Wave and Kurome development... well too bad not enough time... some people wanted the Minister's Son to be fleshed out more... well too bad not enough time.

The anime already did imo a poor job in the details regarding the Jaegers... and now this anime only ending will probably magnify this even further.

Everything was just so out of order, new things were added, and the preview to the next episode focuses on a more recent chapter that's going to be even more tampered with than how the original story already has been. I am disappoint, but I will still ride with it, I guess.

The fight was surprisingly well animated by this show's standards, but was between two of the worst characters so fuck it.

Also following the manga hasn't made the show good so far so I don't see how White Fox could screw it up further

They only adapted this to advertise the source material. This is exact same thing that happened to fullmetal, hunter x hunter and claymore. There's not enough material for a second season. Everything that people want to know, such as the mysterious man, wavexkurome and Run is all in the manga. Even if the anime stayed fully true to the manga, all of this happens after where we assume the anime is going to end.

Borick was going to die regardless, so killing him now isn't going to affect anything. They'll brawl regardless coz Night Raid vs Jaegers.

Unless something happens, I do have to agree that it's a shame that


Because at this point, it may be just Najenda vs Esdese, unless some fights crash into each other and stuff. At the same time

I understand they weren't going to cover the character development because there clearly wasn't enough time but ffs the anime original ending may kill off the characters I just named (without knowing jack about them)... We have no idea what's going to happen.

I don't know how they'll handle it but I doubt anything regarding the Jaegers will be resolved in a satisfying manner... since so far the anime has been so bent on skipping through their interactions as quickly as possible.

Either way we'll see next week.

This is kinda why I looked ahead and read some of the manga. At first I thought, they weren't going to do any skipping, but after seeing the ending, I now know I was wrong. Still I'm kinda glad their skipping Wild Hunt. That might have been a bit to much.

Still I can't wait to see what kinda of ending this well be.

It feels bad to just screw up the adaptation at this point. If they were planning to go original from some point, then it should've been done earlier. It's not cute to make everything well done until now and then say "fuck it" and go full retard (aka original).

I started reading the manga because the anime was just too good. Now that they are planning to do whatever they want, it needs to be good or I'll be cutting some points from the final score.

Let see..

seryu said "This morality, I have to protect it." Whoever said something like that will die soon. And Lubback said "We can't live without you anymore Su." and this is another death flag. Those firearms that Seryu used, they never hit both Tatsumi and Mine once lol, better change another weapon.

Seryu can win, but she brings up two dead comrades in front of Mine, thats a big NO during an anime fight. Mine was pissed and you die.

I'm not gonna lie. After I decided to pick up the manga, after having had started to watch the anime first, watching the anime wasn't nearly as exciting as in the beginning.

But the moment Esdeath turned around and Borick wasn't there I suddenly got excited again. Then Lubbock kills him on the next scene while Najenda does her cool entrance. I'm looking forward to Night Raid kicking some ass on this original ending! In the manga, they barely accomplished this mission, but the anime is setting them up for success.

I had the inkling that this anime would turn into an original ending, seeing how the manga was shaping up, as they wouldn't have enough time to go with the next arc with the current remaining episodes, and it ending on some cliffhanger would be awkward and wouldn't work out pretty well.
Also, that inkling was further reinforced when they switched the female character that Lubbock saved a while back. In the manga she turns out to be a recurring character and also had a boyfriend (her partner also), whom was mysteriously committed as well.

Well, this is getting interesting for me.

EDIT: I got around watching the PV. It seems that the fight was just condensed? And at this rate, they could very well catch up to the manga if they speed up the pace, skip some stuff and modify the plot.
Hmm. Is the manga ending soon as well? I just hope Mine and Tatsumi survive, at least. But I think Akame will surely be alive too...So hard to make a guess. Depending how the next chapter of the manga unfolds, it can change alot of stuff... like if the anime and manga will have similar endings and such.

Mine versus Seryuu was the most bullshit fight in anime ever.

Seryuu still has no fucking clue as to how Mine's teigu works and how she fights. Even now. And there were so many times when Mine should definitely have been shot dead. Like the part where she sliced Seryuu with the hyperbeam cannon? If Seryuu was conscious enough to fucking think,"She sliced me?" why doesn't she just fire her already loaded, ready-to-fire hand cannons?!?!?! In fact Mine 's movement was completely out-of-characterly fast for that moment while handling the hyperbeam. How can a person without any kind of physical alterations swing a large gun that is constantly firing a gerobi beam sideways faster than another similar person can pull a fucking trigger with their brain?!?! The cannons are mounted ON Seryuu's arms, there isn't even a trigger to pull, how the fuck can she be slower than the goddamn beam-firing gun??? And the point is, even if she was ALREADY sliced, she could just fire it ANYWAY. What the heck man, none of the fight scenes make any fucking sense this episodes. The girl that aws fighting Tatsumi was super strong then super weak, what the hell is up with that?!? And the 2 undead from Kurome, 1-hitted by Suu??? DAFUQ, show, DAFUQ?

Seriously, all this show has going for it are the fight scenes and now they EVEN can fuck this up???

Finally, I am happy that Seryu dies in this episode, but I wish for a more brutal death then a suicidal death. As always the battles are really entertaining and intense at the same time, but it felt liked the other Night Raid members (Kurome, Lubbock, Leone, and Susanoo) battles were to fast and skipped.

A nice moment for Mine and Tatsumi at the end there. No lie, I thought Mine was dead for sure after the explosion, thank goddess Tatsumi saved her.

So glad Justice-chan kicked the bucket, finally Sheele has been avenged though Justice-chan seems to have gotten off easy in her death considering all she done. Oh well.

Tatsumi kills the final demon in boring, yet quick fashion. The Rakshasa Demons were so worthless in the end.

Wave defending Kurome, yay even though Kurome is kind of a scumbag herself at least Wave got some screentime.

It's unfortunate to hear this going (or may go) towards Anime Original Ending territory. Feels like Claymore all over again. AkG doesn't seem to have that staying power to be rebooted like Fullmetal Alchemist or the like either so it's over anime wise I guess. Guess time to start up the manga after the anime ran its course.

One minute it's Mine and Tatsumi fighting then it suddenly cuts to Leon/Susanoo fighting Wave and Kurome. Where did that come from? I had to open other streams because I thought it skipped a few scenes but no.
