I don't understand all the hate for this episode, it was one of the best anime episodes of the year for me, yeah it sucks that Tatsumi is dead but he had a Heroes death and the fighting was awesome... not many anime's leave this type of feeling for their characters which is why Akame ga Kill is on the top of my List...

The fight was cool, but way too rushed. And now Tatsumi is dead too?! I mean, seriously?!
The last episodes are way too rushed. It ruins the whole ending.

I don't see how the battle between Akame and Esdeath in the PV will conclude AGK at all after all the rushing, but we'll see.

Also, I find it hilarious that the ultimate imperial arms is a gigantic Gundam with a cape shooting out lasers.

The problem with the ending is that it doesn't show what Akame ga Kill really is. This episode was pretty shonen and as a manga reader, this isn't Akame ga Kill's true nature. I'm sure the people involved in making the anime had their reasons because the anime watchers would cringe if they read what happened in the manga.

Really? You get to talk darklight? You have fairy tail in your top anime. not to mention SnK. You're a shonen fag. Stay the hell away and stop spreading the hate. AkG is amazing. I've read the manga and even though the anime is different, it has its own merits. This episode was pretty good, but you're just blind to it and you keep ranting. Drop this show already you feg

AkG's true nature IS shonen. God. Haven't you read the manga? Its not some grim dark fantasy. Its bloody shonen. That said, the anime is still pretty great compared to the manga. I've read it and i'm not cringing because i'm not blind and i realized that deviation from the source doesn't ALWAYS mean a bad thing.

You think I bother updating the favorites list anymore. How adorable I barely update the Anime list unless it's something I really like. Then again that's the last defense of morons like you. Look at the profile of someone regardless of how out of date it is.

AGK is anything but amazing as an adaptation.

So yeah, I'll throw this out. Where as I don't understand where the hate for AgK is coming from, except that they took their own adaptation at the end, which I infact prefer over a half-finished, cliff-hangery ending, I'll say this much. I've enjoyed, no, even loved Akame ga Kill 'till the end, I've always found it original, intriguing. This for me was even proven here, when they decided to kill off the MC, which was suprising and full of feels for me. I really don't mind all the negative, even constructive critism, since this for me was one of the best anime I've seen. At the end of the day, everyone has their own opinion, right? So, let's all together watch trough the last episode next week, no matter if you dislike or love AgK.

I'm not sure why you're so upset. I've read the manga and even though it's classified as a shonen, I've yet to see a shonen (intended for a young male audience) that also involves rape and beastiality. I never said the anime was bad, I just think they could have executed the story better.

Storyline be damned, still doesn't change the fact that this episode was f*cking epic. The soundtrack, the team up, the power up, the fight, the gore, the voice acting... still not a chapter of AgK that has this much level of everything.

The wings were badass, but Tatsumi's armor looked better in the manga. Looks like Run will live, for which i'm glad, he's an awesome character. Haha, Wave blushing was just priceless and the two ancient armors in action together was enjoyable. The emperor's a freaking idiot, but Onest's the one that really has to die. Still, even though that robot-like Imperial Arms wasn't what i'd call "cool", it was crushed very nicely.

Tatsumi saving the citizens by sacrificing himself with the last of his strength holding off a giant robot while blood oozes out of him like a fountain and honorably dies - one of the best things i've seen in 2014.

It's also extremely satisfying how the anime does not give a single damn about Tatsumi and Mine. Looks like it's time for Murasame's trump card next.

An i-couldn't-care-less-about-the-hate 5/5.

To all the very, very, very butthurt manga readers:

I might have forgotten about that enemy with angel wings. Was he anything significant? I was confused when they conversed like they knew each other for a long time.
Other than that, the action in this episode was pretty enjoyable, but why kill Tatsumi so early if you're even planning to kill him?

Indeed! Your opinions, or maybe even facts don't bother me the slighest. However, you really shouldn't put it in a mocking tone. I am aware akame has it's flaws, and that's quite fine really. I just never saw any actual critism in the first place, it's always "wow this is garbage" I just want to know reasons, that's all.

He is given much more panel time in the manga and is overall a pretty good character. I don't know if you plan to read the manga, but let's just say that he is mainly revenge-driven, and that makes him want to change the system from the inside, without bloodshed.

The fact that you have to explain why you're not an anime fan by comparing it to the manga is enough reason for me. Had AGK been an original anime like Kill la Kill you would not have complained at all. Heck, Kill la Kill was completely messed up and people loved it because they had to manga to refer to. AGK was in no way bad, just because the manga had more content means nothing. I agree that Lubbock's death was not as good as it was in the manga but that shouldn't mean anything. Right now manga readers that are hating on the anime are influencing the whole community and ruining the whole experience. Someone who would have like the anime sees that everyone is hating on the anime and they go "well, I really liked it but I don't want to seem out of place so I'll join in on the hate"... Take the manga as it is, you're not helping the mangaka if you like one of his creations and not his other ones. :)

I guess that's your view and I can respect that. Heck, I don't even blame anyone if he/she likes the anime better than the manga after viewing both. But I really need to beg to differ at "not helping the mangaka if you like one of his creations and not his other ones". This just doesn't hold. If I like a painting by a painter, a song by a singer, a book by a novelist, do I have to like all their creations? 'Course not. The mangaka deserves credit for what he did well, and not as much for what he did not do as well (if he really did fully direct the AO, of course). Again, I think the anime is not THAT bad even after episode 19 (the megazord in this episode was just not AgK, though) - it is still one of the best shounen animes of the season for me, just that it could have easily been better by simply being conservative. And really, no, it's not because it has "manga to refer to". SnK and Gintama, IMHO, were more enjoyable in the anime than they were in the manga, but that's not the case with AgK and, say, Ao no Exorcist. Honestly, though, the asspulls I exemplified before have nothing to do with whether or not the manga existed.

I can easily see that some people went downright abrasive here (tell me any MAL discussion thread that doesn't have that, anyway), but manga readers, which you addressed, have exact amount of rights to express criticisms as much as AO viewers do.

I actually really liked Akame ga Kill until like, what was it, episode 18? 19? (Before they started going original)
And then like I think at 20 or 21-ish, I decided to read the 53 chapters of the manga that were out.
I'm just sorta dying inside at how awful this anime-only is.

Well, there is no way of defending this disaster of an episode. I seriously want to go to the production team and ask, "Excuse me, but in the anime, 'Akame ga Kill', what the flying **** were you going for?" I think they all thought that story was somewhat irrelevant to the fans and just put in a ton of death scenes and animation galore for the battles because they thought we were THAT SIMPLE MINDED!

Okay, maybe we are simple minded, if you take the time to think about it. A lot of people who started anime young just went with it because of how cool the animation looked, nothing to care about the plot.

The following is a rant/summary of the episode's events with some sarcasm that is a bit pointless.


Cliche, I know right? Hero gets super final form at the end, that is really poorly done. As if they didn't really think about it.(Well, we should be glad we didn't get another Megazord like Samurai Flamenco's giant form) The design is simple and doesn't contain much impact, for example, Kill la Kill's Senketsu's final form, isn't really poorly done. It isn't just a sudden development. Its power is something that appeared with obvious reason. Incursio's was just a sudden emotional sky-rocket. If they had planned this, take some time to both make the final form look better and give Incursio's steady levels of evolution as the story goes by with Tatsumi's emotional developments.

If any of you have watched Shirobako lately, I think this reminds me of what they called "Jiggly Jiggly Heaven." Its hentai, hentai EVERYWHERE!

What i find f**king stupid though is people basically saying "I didn't like it, and my view point on anime is greater than others here, so that makes the anime bad in general". Then they go quote each person who likes the anime and degrade them solely for that fact. Everybody has different interests in anime, and just because someone else's interests and view points differ from yours, that doesn't make them bad. I also want to say regardless of how many anime's you watched, you can't speak of an anime on behalf of everyone. Only saying this because i know there are those few a**holes that say "I've seen 300-400 different animes, so i know what i'm talking about when i say an anime is shit"

If you like it, say you like it, if you don't say you don't. Don't go and try and force your opinion on someone because you believe it's right!


I am much newer than you to MAL, but need I remind you there are always condescending attitudes everywhere around here. I believe No Game No Life and SAO threads have the best of them this year, especially from the "hater" side. Anyway, QFT.


And I still prefer the manga ty.
