You butt hurt viewers are so annoying.

Tatsumi dying was great. It was emotional and seeing a main character die creates a big impact...that's the point.

You kids act like you're critics from rottentomatoes.


This. The butt hurt peeps and give me a great laugh.

I've defended the anime for a while now but i have to say the manga is way better. the anime is good in it's own right as a more origional show but not as a manga adaptation.

Agreed, the manga is much better tbh, but the anime is also pretty dang good in its own intrinsic right.

HD super rush, woot!! Seriously, the animation was wicked. XD

Screw plot though. They crammed a whole arc into a single episode right there!

And Tatsumi's not the last to die? His scene was animated beautifully though, gotta say. XD

Are we really talking about the same anime here?
You know,the one with the transformers,the completely random power ups,the unexplained deaths and the oblivious civilians who walk around happily while the town is under siege from 200 revolutionaries(lol,I guess no one tried to stop them from one hitting the gates cause they werent detected) and the gigantic trasformer/emperor?
I cant understand why anyone would like it since it stopped following the manga.
It just dropped unbelievably in quallity.

I think I can agree with this.

I know a lot of people try to judge the anime from episode 18 onward, but before that it was great. I wouldn't say this anime is complete shit, it's still fun to watch. I'd say it's still good even after all the original content, but it's nowhere near the greatness of the manga.

Also does anyone know how the anime/manga is doing in Japan sales wise/rantings? Last I heard that it was doing good, but that was a while ago.

EDIT:

Just checked Wikipedia and saw that as of Nov. 1st the manga has sold 2,100,000 copies in total. That's pretty good! So this series definitely has a good following.... I wonder if the anime will ever get a Hellsing Ultimate treatment where they make 1 hour OVAs every now and then. That way, they wouldn't have have to filter out any mature content.

*sigh* A man can dream right?

To the people who don't have an inflated ego, thinking themselves the Simon Cowel's of anime, here's something i noticed.



Run is not impressed with Leone's trained behind. That episode actually gave some weird vibes about those two.

WTF!! This story is such a bullshit..
The main problem is the evil minister
and just when he's out in the open without any protection
He's ignored!

They prefer to fight head to head against the giant mecha

Well well WELL now...

Just when you thought the show couldn't get any worse, White Fox pulls another fucking gem out of Studio Pierrot's playbook.

Holy shit, this was just bad on a whole new level.

I don't know what looked worse, the megazord teigu, or Tatsumi's gay ass Incursio transformation. Those wings looked too stupid for words.

Only good thing about this episode were the Jaegers and Night Raid teaming up...sort of. The scene with Braht talking to Tatsumi was kind of badass though.

RIP Tatsumi. Why they killed off the main character? Who knows. They're probably fucking this up for laughs at this point.


Next week:
Obviously we see Akame get an asspull ability. And now we know that she is going to kill Esdese. It doesn't matter that she's the empire's strongest, and could literally go solo against every member of Night Raid at the same time (as proven in the manga) without even getting a scratch...but she's still SOMEHOW going to end up killing her. It'll probably be an even bigger BS asspull than Mein beating Budo.

Judging from the fact that White Fox is killing everyone now at this point, there's probably a good chance that Akame will die at the end of the fight too. Then they'll make some sappy scene where she is joining up with everyone and her sister in the next life.

Also, do they plan on killing the goddamn prime minister next episode? That shit took a back seat to the power rangers fight.

Maybe because they've read the manga for years and expect a good adaption?


After 22 episodes prior to this one, most people would have been able to determine whether they're going to get a good adaptation or not. You're missing my point, if you don't like something then don't watch it.


You're argument is invalid seeing as how it was adapted perfectly for 18 and a half episodes. For 3/4 of the anime people were getting a good adaptation. Now people are mad because it's no longer an adaptation. Nobody wants to drop a show after investing so much time into it. So we will all ride the shit train till the end of the line.

And the people that like the anime keep getting bashed for it by them.
Good episode! Liked how all the dead ones showed when Tatsumi dealt the final blow!
I hope they do a remake so we can relive all the wonderful characters! And to get the haters to shut the hell up!

Pretty sure everyone bitching about this wouldn't be if they hadn't read the manga, because I found Tatsumi's sudden death both well executed and shocking. Out of all characters I expected to NOT be killed off, Tatsumi was perhaps the only one.

Akame vs Esdeath showdown as the finale? I couldn't be happier about that.

The only thing I didn't really like was the fact that the giant ass pseudo-mecha didn't do shit except fire off the Light of Judgment a few times. That was very anti-climactic.

i wonder if im the only one who doesnt really bother regarding the death of Tatsumi lol. atleast it was badass.

I personally love this anime because they dont bullshit about the death. if you are to fight the whole empire, then sacrifices and death is imminent. Getting tired of anime where the main chars or sub chars still lives although they received a fatal wound

cant wait for the last eps. Akame ga Kill o.o

Doubt it. That trump card she pulled is probably a suicide one. I'm thinking the only character to survive will be Ran. Simply because mangaka killed him off. JK. He'll die, too.

Esdeath gonna take out everyone but Akame, Akame's gonna kill her then die from her curse, and Najenda will go out showing us a lame-ass Imperial Arms that nobody even cares about anymore.

Not gonna lie,
Although I'm not so happy that the anime is completely different from the manga
This was actually an enjoyable episode and I really like it unlike the previous eps.
The art and fighting scenes were overall great.
And it's interesting to see this adaptation...

R.I.P Tastumi <3 You played your role greatly.

For once, I'm actually excited for the next and final episode.

At my point of view, as this anime isn't longer an adaptation i think it was very obvious that at the final of the story the plot had to be changed, but in the first part of the episode i noticed that dialog quality went down as well as character's development.

or, am i the only one who thinks like this? D:

Haha.

In terms of just being full nutty like I expected and want this series to be after Lubbock died and all the questionable stuff that followed, it was enjoyable. This episode probably had the best animation out of any of them so far. Looking at the preview it seems to have to gone back to normal quality of previous episodes. Kind of nice to see the potential if this series had more money to throw around. Though that still doesn't excuse everything else going on that was kind of head scratching.

They summed up Ran's whole story in a few sentences and a brief scene. His deal in the anime seems to be wrapped up and even some weird Ran x Leone seed has been planted. Not that I mind that part, good to see he (may) have happier ending than his manga counterpart.

Wave has one more episode to not come off as not so underwhelming which will be disappointing since his manga version was so great through and through. Outside of saving Tatsumi in typical fashion he just gets tossed around through out the whole fight.

Esdeath was just kind off on the sidelines and was cool with everything being blown up by Megazord Teigu? Even Tatsumi? Oooook. Whatever.

Megazord Teigu was more clunky in movement than I imagined him to be from previous episode preview, basically just spammed beams for most of the fight. If Wave was more useful maybe Tatsumi wouldn't have had to die.

Tatsumi armor evolved as expected but...eh? Expected to look more amazing. "Golden Batman" indeed.

Dat Bulat flashback, similiar scene from the 1st OP too so things was planned to head this way for a long time in the anime it seems.

Tatsumi promised not to die too many times, broke the limit and death flag was set.

Akame vs. Esdeath in the final, most saw that coming. She has the right weapon for the job after all. Just needs a way to actually hit Esdeath but that's what her upcoming trump card is for. Will be interesting to see what it actually do.

Leone might actually be the only one to actually survive for lulz factor. She'll be the one to past down the story of the Night Raid to the rest of the Revolution Army or whatever. Seriously though for a series people are dropping left and right she is mighty good at dodging death. Leone fans may end up with the last laugh in the end. She got one more episode to dodge death.

Seems like they went full retard and let Tatsumi die.

The fight was really epic tho, Tatsumi and Wave make a great combo.

LMAO am i the only person that felt like this episode was super 90's? tatsumi went full on g gundam with his golden form hahaha. Not only did this anime not follow the manga (which i don't even read) but they didn't even try to cover their tracks and just abandoned the concept of pacing and just sprung an assassination mission on the biggest villian next to esdeath at the drop of a hat. I just wanna know who tf thought that a giant robot was a good idea.

The worst part about this is that out of all the episodes to spend money on and make the animation and character designs half way decent they had to pick this one!! literally every other episode is the most bland boring painfully average thing to look at but they make what is easily the worst episode look pretty just to cover up how terrible everything else is.

I didn't read the manga at all...still thought the episode was really bad and out of place. tatsumi's death means almost nothing to me since every week they kill off another person so I prepare for their demise before I have time to care about their well being.

So much butthurt hate in this thread, lol. That was an amazing episode, and I didn't think they'd actually kill off Tatsumi in anything except the final episode. Now his girlfriends get to fight over his corpse I guess.

I'm so glad I'm not reading the manga, I get to enjoy the adaptation while the fanboys are bawling their eyes out that their favorite panel got changed. Anime changes shit, get over it already.

5/5, I can't wait to see the conclusion, which will probably result in both girls being ran through and then a meteor hitting the capitol city to finish killing LITERALLY EVERY CHARACTER ON THE PLANET.


lol is this not supposed to be a discussion of the episode or are we just supposed to circle jerk the same opinions to one another in fear of being labeled " butthurt". you're basically saying "im so glad i don't read the manga so that im not aware of a higher quality version of the same story so that i can enjoy this mediocre version and pretend it's the best option". I don't even read the manga and this episode is so obviously an anime original episode that it hurts my feelings that someone thought that they could pass this off as belonging in the actual narrative.
