I still don't care about any character that died so far. Sheele's death was stupid and bulat was a strong gay guy. I don't know why I should be sad for someone with little screentime.

Somehow it didn't quite have the same impact as when I read it in the manga back in the day. I suppose it's hard to recreate the feels once you know it's coming.

Bulat was a true bro to the end. And the way he managed that switchblade knife is never to be forgotten.

I'm sooo looking forward to the next episode and the encounters it brings.

Why does people want the torture scene with Esdeath to be animated? That scene was soo disturbing. It was a living hell. I doubt they'll be able to show that on tv. We already know how Esdeath really is anyways.

Please stop posting death spoilers from other shows, people don't need to see this. If you want to compare a scene to another show, then please put it under a spoiler tag and the series title before it. For example,

That scene is just there to show that esdese likes to torture, I thought that the scene with her kicking the naked leashed guy that was licking her boot to death was enough but I guess most people just want a 100% accurate adaption.

There was also more scenes with bulat training tatsumi against the danger beast that developed them a little but they cut it out to put 3 chapters in a single episode.

welcome to shounen battle animes, where characters will pause in the middle of a life and death fight to have conversations with each other while explaining in full detail what kind of powers they have and once in a while having a little flashback.

I thought the blonde person was girl. Lol wtf his voice tho.

Poor Bulat, Rip :(
He shouldn't have died :/ I was really hoping he wouldn't. He was one of my fav members of NR.
What, are they planning on killing every night raid member? -_-
Incursio was way too cool btw.

Pretty obvious what's going to happen with Esdeath and Tatsumi. Same as Hancock and Luffy.

Sad to see Bulat die, I thought he was pretty cool, I didn't think 2 members would die in the first 8 episodes.

Does Night Raid get replacements for the 2 that are dead?

Also doesn't this mean they've gained 3 new Imperial Arms. Is it limited to 1 per person or can someone have 2?


They are "assassins" working for the revolutionary army and only one imperial arm per person and if it's not compatible they send it back to base.

Didn't really feel anything when Bulat died. These characters are dying, with barely any development. Hope the rest of series isn't going to be like "oh look now that person died too oh well". Also want Tatsumi to get his own Imperial Arms, not Bulat's. It was still cool, though.

Kyaa, another one of Night Raid's member dies once again. T.T I'm assuming from this point on, we will see more of them dying as well. Seeing Akame's sister (can't remember if this is her biological sister or if they just call each other sisters because of how close they are) kinda made me feel like "oh the drama that's gonna happen." Moreover, I can already sense from the next ep's preview that Ice chick is gonna fall in love with Tatsumi -.- Oh gawd.

Pretty good ep overall, seeing Tatsumi in Incursio and having it adapt to him was pretty awesome though ^^; But, still can't get over how they killed off Bulat thoughhhh.

At least Tatsumi did something wearing that Incursio, but it was too late.

I thought Tatsumi's Imperial arms would be Sheele's blade at first, so this was a surprise. Tatsumi does look good in that Incursio armor.

The death flags for Bulat was somewhat obvious, so not as surprising as Sheele's death. Still, rest in peace, aniki.

NOOOOOOO WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MY MAN!! D: He's my favorite of this series! And idk if I'll like it anymore now.. I cried at the end! This is heartbreaking
Seriously Braht was awesome and he looked awesome and I just adored his personality and little jokes :(

I don't know if I can continue liking this series as much now because I pretty much was waiting every episode for a bulat or Batsumi scene </3

Why did the writer just have to kill this guy.. I'll forever be sad.

Bulat was my favorite but I couldn't even feel anything when he died. It's just like with Schere although I think his death was handled better than hers.

RIP Bulat

For some reason I feel like Tatsumi is going to end up being a slave for Lady Esdeath and maybe she'll want to seduce him and marry him but Akame is going to rush in and save him.

Or maybe I just watch a lot of ecchi/harem with Servant Master relationships

2 death in 3 episodes? da hell...

Now i got that out of my system. I really liked Bulat's death as it's a death that enhances the main character and gives Bulat a more uplifting death then you know...getting eaten by a monster dog.

Don't really care that Bulat is dead. As long as Esdeath is alive that's all that matters.

I thought Tatsumi's armour looked more badass in the manga. It had chains on it.

See, this is better handling of a dramatic death. And Bulat's death doesn't have the same impact when it's not overdramatized for 5 minutes now is it? Despite him havng stronger characterization and facing his past.

Facepalms: Incursio "compatibility" (omg so cool=it's yours), the general idolizing Esdesu for no rhyme or reason.

Nitpicking the obviously awful kid villain and the presentation of Kurome doesn't make her any more sympathetic.

4/5 For half decent, but stilted action and SOME semblance of being an OK shounen.

Fun episode to watch, I did enjoy the fight quite a bit..

So now Incursio is officially Tatsumi's imperial arms? At least he got a power up now, they're going to keep fighting crazy ass people in the future so he can't always rely on other night raiders to help him out of a tight spot..

Overall I think this series has been quite fun to watch every week. I can't wait for Esdeath to eventualy interract with night raid members, it seems she at least will meet tatsumi next week? I wonder if the captain chick of nightraid will be the one who will have to defeat Esdeath in the end..

Is that chick akame's sister or something? Or just someone she worked with in the past? hmm (Not a manga reader here)

All night raid combined can't defeat esdeath.Dead serious .That' how powerful she is and there's another Empire General on par with Esdeath.
Night raid Zero chance to win really.

Yeah she's her sister if you didn't read Her say "Sister" Lol.

So.......what the hell!! >:O

Yet another Night Raid member dies?! :( No~! Bulat~! You were so cool....
Oh well, Assassins are the class that dies the most, since there job is dangerous and stuff. o-o
But, it looks like his Imperial Arm has taken a new form to fuse with Tatsumi, and that was pretty cool. :3 The way Tatsumi killed Nyauh~! xD "killed by Tatsumi in one blow after activating Incursio." So cool! XD

Oh, that ending....Akame's sister? o-o Oh no.....this is bad...
So, her, Esdeath......oh my....
This is turning out to be so good! But, in terms of new and powerful enemies.....BAD! D:
