Hikarusuke said: Oh okay I will start there then thanks for the info! :) No problem, "gedata" said from chapter 38. It must be accurate I only gave a estimate. |
Hikarusuke said: So start at 38 then or just read from the 1st chapter? In my opinion you should read from the 1st chapter since ti's one hell of experience, but if you only want to continue from the anime than read from chapter 38. |
| THis was a good episodes. Giving it low rating just because it does not follow manga is stupid. This anime will probably not get 2nd season either way. An original ending is not a problem for me. |
| This is so wrong... |
 |
| Ok thats my top 3 all dead. Might as well kill off the whole cast now!! I fucking hate-love this show so much. Seriously, please, no more. |

Darklight0303 said: HeidenOvTheNord said: Can I ask why people are getting so up in arms about this anime not following the Manga and going for an original ending? You read the Manga, right? So you already know that story. Why do you want the same exact thing again? I just look at it as a multiple ending path kind of thing like they have in video games. Why so many people here are acting like entitled crybabies I simply don't understand. Because for a manga reader an adaptation is the chance to see their favorite scenes in more details with voice acting and epic music to boot. This abortion of a development is the very antithesis of an adaptation. Manga Readers come for the manga being adapted not some director's version of a shitty fanfic "Shitty fanfic"? Except they kept the main plot points. Shura is the minister's son, he had a team, he killed Lubbock, Tatsumi was captured. Literally all they did was remove Wild Hunt (which logically they can't really show on TV, which you'd understand if you read the manga at all) and move the Jaegers vs Night Raid fight to the end of the show, which leads to a much more dramatic ending and a chance to actually properly end the story, which is what they want and need to do with no prospect of a sequel in sight. Again, if you'd read the manga you'd know that the start of the current fight is the latest chapter. It'll take months just for the fight to end, never mind the story as a whole. Besides, have you ever seen an adaptation outside of animanga? So many movies are based on books. They skip entire side plots, remove characters, add new ones, change settings, even change the entire feelings of lines. The book fans don't complain all that much though, since they know it's an adaptation and changes have to be made to get something that worked on paper to work on film, since different medias require different forms of storytelling to work well. Animanga fans are really blessed that the source material is as faithfully adapted as it is and you need to take a step back and get off your high horse. The antithesis of an adaptation would be if this episode had been Lubbock and Shura becoming best friends and going for a tea party because that's not even close to the original story, whereas the changes we've been given are really small in comparison and remain faithful to the main plot and events. |
| Can't we just let this whole thing go? '-' |

Jarkzy said: I know what you mean, ive read the manga. Im just saying that mayb the only thing they wanted to do was to skip the Wild Hunts part bc of the violence or something and then continue with the story, they can justify the deaths like they did with lubbock and then just close the series at this point and continue in a few years when the manga is more advanced, or maybe the manga is coming to an end and its going to end together with the anime and they just put some fillers till episode 24 which gets along with the manga release. This are obv just my theories the only thing Im saying is that I dont think you should go telling that something its confirmed when its not officially confirmed bc mayb pple that are not that much into the series could get confused with something that is mayb not going to happen. Hope you understand what I mean my english is not very good so I might be tough to read... xD I know but what I'm trying to say is that the anime is giving a feeling of turning complety different from the manga. To much different. |
thepath said: The thing is that the execution in this episode was horrendous and they also skipped a lot of important developement in some characters. THis was a good episodes. Giving it low rating just because it does not follow manga is stupid. This anime will probably not get 2nd season either way. An original ending is not a problem for me. The only good outcome of it deviating from the manga is the fact that we don't get to see those pathetic wild hunt. |

Tokoya said: 1. Doesn't really matter since they're both dead in the manga. Plus I'm pretty sure that Su will die in the next episode 2. Mein x Tatsumi could still happen in some way.... 3. We knew that Budou's Teigu was lightning based ages ago (Seems like you forgot lol) 4. The whole Budou vs Tatsumi thing was one of my nitpicks of the episode....But something scary just occured to me.....What if Budou isn't even all that (I mean...Mine of all people fucking blew him away like he was nothing in the manga) Yeah, this being monthly made me forget the lightning thing and other shit. But I never forgot how Budou wiped Tatsumi with one blow. Mine power is just that, she can be weak or extremely powerful. So because of her "black or white" power Budou was pushed back. Supposedly he already fought with Esdeath, since they say they are more or less the same level. |
Jarkzy said: Yh that may be true I think they might justify all that stuff in order to make things according to the manga. Anyway I dont really see the manga continuing anylonger since theres no much story left on it and it would be so weird that the anime followed the whole manga story (not the wildhunt arc but all the other things) and then just changed the final at the very very end of the story. I really do still thing that are going to end equal or at least way similar. I believe the answer is there in the difference between the manga and anime until now. I will think a bit more about it and make sure next week. I heard the original ending(if it is original) was being made by the author, there is a possibility that he is spoiling in the anime what is going to happen in the manga but is mere especulation on my part. |
| LUBBOCK AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH T_______________________T I am still crying while typing this OMFG WHY!!!!!! |
| I would never understand why manga readers are watching anime - it makes no sense. Anime adaptation is ALWAYS worse, always. You're watching story that you already knew so show is very boring and it's worse than manga so you're masochist who like boring stuff? I take orginal Anime ending any times than Cliffhanger with no sequel. |
| 3 setps to become Masochist: 1. Read source material 2. Watch anime adaptation 3. Suffer Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..) How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist: 1. Check your favorite anime 2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb Works everytime for everyone. |

I take orginal Anime ending any times than Cliffhanger with no sequel. Because we like to hope that our favorite scenes are done justicel. And no it doesn't always get worse. Take Attack On Titan for example. Other than some changes in the last couple of episodes it delivered on every front I wanted in terms of an adaptation. Compared to that, AGK is utter trash now |

I take orginal Anime ending any times than Cliffhanger with no sequel. Anime adaptations are full of cliffhangers more than the mangas. And NO, anime adaptations are not always worse. Full Metal Brotherhood is a perfect adaptation, Hellsing Ultimate(which was lucky ever being adapted) and so on. The majority of manga readers started out has only anime viewers like you, but anime suddenly ends or the end doesn't make sense. Those who watched Soul Eater anime probably would like to know how the story ended but they will never know... Akame was not boring until ep 19 now it suddenly is, that is the problem. |
Pers0na said: You're the one who can't be serious. Original endings which will actually conclude everything beats cliffhangers with no sequel every friggin day. You know that original endings, are original because they are different from the actual ending, right? If there is a cliffhanger than there is always the possibility of a sequel, if there is a original ending the ending will be rushed and bad with no chance of a sequel... How is that good? There are sequels, you just have to not be afraid of the "monster" called manga and read it. How is Bleach going for you? |
| Lol I leave this thread for a couple of hours and someone already started the flames burning once more xD |

| 2/5. This show doesn't even know where the fuck it's trying to go at this point |
| Well I think I'm gonna clock out of these episode discussions as the manga fans are only gonna get angrier from here and seeing people say "fuck this shit" on every post really gets on my nerves. Sometimes I wish we would get an Akame ga Kill: Brotherhood done by Madhouse that was 3 cours long so all the manga fans were happy. We can only dream... So Lubbock died. Was expected. I seriously hate that bitch that stabbed Lubb. She was going to died anyways and stabbed for no reason whatsoever. If it weren't for that motherfucker, Lubb might have survived. Pretty lazy execution this episode. Other than seeing happy Leone, this episode was pretty mediocre. It's only gonna get worse from here... 3/5 |

| Everyones talking about the manga in this thread wtf. Anime discussion only. Anyways I haven't read the manga and don't plan to but I liked the way they did this and personally wouldn't have wanted it the way people are saying the manga went. |
 this is what shouldve happened... |
| ^About 5-6 episodes too early... but at least I could say in the manga that Lubbock grew up before he died. He started off as somewhat cowardice but very cunning assassin. But when faced with true adversity he became a brave, loyal assassin who never cried or begged and showcased his true desire to live for the woman he loved and the future he wanted to bring to her. |

GarudaAiacos said: Now that i watch the ep again, its really not as bad as people make it out to be.. but people just cant help but be disappointed if they love the manga and wanted to see it animated like that. I am one of them, I do wish they would have just followed manga and left it open for season 2, but that isnt enough to make me hate the anime. I still think its better than most animes out there, even if it doesnt follow manga exactly now ;( cant help be disappointed with how they dicked shura tho, his arc had many great moments and helped many characters grow/evolve ... I still hope that the final 4 eps will be decent tho and have good animation. Could still be one of my favorites if the last 4 episodes are epic, thats all i can hope for. ( i at least know theyll give esdeath an epic fight before it ends..) Lol someone who liked Shura, the guy with the most lame death in that arc xD |
| A great protagonist once said, "It's only overpowered if you can't return the favor!" |
| Hmmm this episode felt a bit 'off' when I watched it, but reading through this thread I guess I understand :p. I'll finish watching this anime, then I'll go and read the manga. Poor Lubba. |
 |
| Wait what? They did not just kill off my favorite character. I mean i knew he was going to die but I thought his death was gonna be like the manga... Kinda mixed feelings on how they did this. Not sure how I feel about that but still liked the episode. It is what it is. Gotta like that Tatsumi x Mine shipping. |
