Kurome was a sociopath no matter how you looked at it. Her entire existence either depended on Akame or was fueled by the desire to kill her (sister) -- therefore, Kurome's sense of ethicality, justice, and overall rationality was skewed. Not to mention a vast majority of Kurome's (conscious) life was spent apart from the person that made her tick. Yanked apart to train separately early on or fighting on different sides in her fighting days -- always in agony, a miserable existence. It’s probably better this way, albeit dying so young.

Aaaaand Wave’s a nice character too. I can’t explain his role but it’s not like anything I’ve ever seen in an anime before.

Aaaaaaaaaand damn, it always gets you when a VA does one of those gut-wrenching screams that Akame did. It must take a lot to be a VA.

Fine episode. It felt surprisingly calm (before the storm). Maybe because most of the cast, both protagonistic and antagonistic, have been killed off. There’s little (main) characters left. So I couldn’t help but feel an emptiness throughout the episode.

Isn’t it odd? An anime in which most of the main characters die off? It really isn’t common in most animes. That, coupled with the fast-pacing of this show is probably what contributes to its notoriety (bloodiness not considered). I definitely think this anime would have GREAT potential to be doubled in episodes. Maybe by 48. But since we’re stuck with this, I’ll go along with it, and say that’s it’s NOT THAT BAD at all. Some of the fight scenes and logic (injury-wise) can be a bit far-fetched, but I really don’t wanna blame anything on the pacing of this anime. It’s entertaining to watch all the same.

I pity her to some degree but Kurome's death does not really compare to all the others. Just as Dr. Stylish she was mostly blind to her surroundings and anything not related to her ambitions.

Btw Esdeath is a horrible general and has zero management skills. She is really the arche-type warrior who can do nothing but fight and makes a miserable captain or ruler.

And is that a Mecha the Emperor has at the ready? Things are going to get interesting. The minister has chosen the GoT "Burn them all!" option as it seems.

Kurome vs Akame was inevitable but the final fight seemed kinda dull.Liked the last "oniichan" though.

Esdeath chopping that dude in half and his body sliding down the ice is one of my favorite Esdeath kills to date.

Very excited for Gurren Lagan/SSSS.Gridman/Darling in the Franxx mecha next episode....

Much better than the last episode, I enjoy it except for the random monster that ruined the flow of the battle and it was just an excuse to kill Kurome's puppets.

Looks like the anime went full mecha at the end lol.

Akame vs Kurome happened this episode and while it isn't good, its one of the quicker, simpler and better battles from this show. No bullshit, just sisters dueling it out in a way that they had no other option but trying to kill each other. Actually, it's still kind of bullshit but compared to everything else in this show, this actually made a little sense to a degree. It oozed death flags for the future though with Tatsumi and Akame, as you get that someone is dying here given how much they talk about how they promise to not die on each other and the fact that everyone fucking dies in this anime due to reverse plot armor for the most part. Only two more episodes to go though.

Right, so the girl I loved and one who loved me back just died. Oh well, nevermind, better luck next time. Where are Tatsumi's emotions? The charcters are made to look like they just don't care.

Very predictable ending as well. The way this show is going I was half expecting them to either both die or become allies.

Sometimes I don't just get these cliché tropes but I'm also not an edgy teen anymore. There is a reason why this show popular. Just two more to go, hoping to get satisfying ending.

The fated clash between the two sisters have arrived, and we all know how it will turn out. When it comes to pure swordsmanship and relentless assassinations, Akame will win against Kurome all day every day. That's why Kurome heavily relied on her necromancy powers, and once she's stripped off it, she's nothing more than a dead little imouto.

And yet, the stupidity of this series never ceases to amaze me... A giant fucking mecha from a giant secret underground with a tiny little shota emperor inside it. Nani, what the fuck?!

After what she did to Chelsea, Kurome deserved to be impaled!

Kurome's heart is so not in the right place, but Akame's sword is. Through it, that is.


(BTW, I drop reading the manga)

Akame and Kurome are impressive together. Kurome is dead. She was a tough opponent indeed. Man I always get so sad seeing Akame cry. Good to see Tatsumi staying by her side. What is this wicked prime minister planning now?

Probably the best episode of the show thus far. I'm glad things are finally taking actual form with the characters gaining a bit of depth, of course, there's two episodes left, so I really don't know how they'll wrap this up. Probably won't do anything very interesting until the last episode. Idk what outcome I'm hoping for, I don't really care too much about Tatsumi so like...
