My least favorite episode of AGK. I actually hate this episode. Everything just seem out of place and rushed for no reason. I found this shit to be so bad that I was laughing hard when the emperor was just ramdomly shooting Ki-blasts all over the city.

I knew Akame was going to be the one to kill Esdeath but the way the preview was shown made it very cheesy.

Oh well rip in peace Tatsumi.

i haven't watched the anime since maybe episode 8 just because i got bored of knowing what was going to happen having read the manga. Decided to watch the episode after hearing the buzz about the latest episodes, pleasantly surprised 5/5 and probably will watch the previous episodes.

At least so far Run and

got a better ending in the anime. Run's fight with Leone, if any, was horrid, though. I thought Wave was gonna die there.

That blood, Tatsumi. He's became batman, and at the same time the Peter Parker of anime, lol.

That's not the evolved Incursio I was hoping for. 3.5/5 - still not too bad in relative to other animes in general, but they surely broke the spirit of the manga.

I actually enjoyed this episode for all the wrong reasons because it was so over-the-top, full of shounen dialogue and pulled a gurren laggan moment so tatsumi could digivolve. I was laughing the whole time for the latter half of the episode. it felt extremely campy.

Manga readers pls stop. Your excuses are: "not like the manga", "asspulls", "rushed", "not like the manga", "Tatsumi and Mine died", "not like the manga", and "not like the manga". WHEN the manga ends, you're all going to call it amazing no matter what it is...great to know you're hating on the anime even though they're both productions (anime and manga) that were started by the same guy, so you're not doing anyone good by hating on one and not the other. xD

Just so you guys know, the anime isn't as intense as the manga. The manga has rape, torture, etc. The anime just follows the regular shonen formula, the formula that has a (somewhat) happy ending and nothing extreme like you see in the manga. The ending might have been made in order to boost ratings, at least that's what I think.

But...but...I thought the episode was good. :-(
It felt quick but I enjoyed watching it! Maybe it's because I don't read manga and I get the manga updates from a roommate of mine. Just got to lay back, relax, and go in looking to enjoy an episode.

On a quick note, I loved the fighting artwork. I'm always a big fan of the pencil sketch-esque scenes.

Don't take the haters seriously, they're just mad it's not like the manga. No other reason for their hate....they will just make something on the spot if you ask them for an exact reason, or they will say "Tatsumi and Mine died". Thing is, in the manga about 5 night raid members died and no manga reader complained...

As much as I've liked this show as someone who hasn't read the manga, this episode was pretty bad. It just felt way too contrived and left out too many things. Why was Esdeath taking her time on the sidelines? What was the point of building up Ran's close-combat skills if it never showed them? Why did no one kill the minister while he was busy screaming and not moving? Why did the people who saw the giant teigu falling not, y'know, run or anything? Way too many questions...

as someone who has read the manga, this anime original didnt upset me, just slightly dissapoint and im pretty sure i would've felt the same way about this ending even if I didnt read the comic.

you can tell by the pacing and the out of place events that something isnt isnt right. ive watched alot of animes adaptations without reading the source material that had gecko endings and I could tell when the story has clearly degraded.

Wuh? Those are not even excuses, those are reasons. I don't know about other manga readers, but I personally don't frankly care about "not like manga". The problem is that it is worse than the manga. I don't think it matters who messed it up (WhiteFox, or the mangaka's influence itself), fact remains that the manga did it better than the anime did. As I said, I found the anime enjoyable and is still okay relative to many other animes, but it is simply, again, worse than the original material. To put it the other way, it is not really AgK anymore.

I guess worse or better are just my opinions, but no one can really deny the asspulls (Mine's and Budo's deaths are the very definition of asspulls). "Rushed" is out of question, it's something I bet the studio itself would admit.

I love how so many people hate how it's not a true adaptation to the manga in the second half of the anime. You have to respect the choices the mangaka, director, writers, etc. made. I'm sure they didn't want to have an anime original plot and ending, but they decided to go with it anyway maybe due to the source content not having a place to stop for the anime.
The second-half should be "what-if" kind of thing so you shouldn't start comparing it to the manga. Oh well, I'll just enjoy what I watch and read since there's so much hate over the last couple of episodes. All the hate is nice to read. lol I'll just gladly see how this series will end for both the anime and manga.

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. :)

So as someone who hasn't read the manga, or hasn't even watched that much anime to begin with, i dont really find this series all that bad.

Now, i know i cant say that BECAUSE i havent read the manga, and i'd probably pull my hair out if i did, but i haven't read it so i wouldn't know. Most anime i watch usually ends up with the MC and his friends surviving because of some magical spell or something that had been overlooked, but this one actually shows you that sometimes you or your friends dont make it, even though you were doing the right thing. idk maybe deviating from the "MC will always live because he's good" mindset was a good idea. but whatever 1 episode left i'll just see where it goes

I said it before and i`m gonna say this again... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS ANIME?! :))) You`re telling me that now..now even Tatsumi died?!?? Why? Why would you kill EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN` CHARACTER from the freakin` anime?(well..technically not every character but shh :D) I honestly stopped "getting the feels" from this anime since long ago...With this many death i just...this became something expected. I couldn`t care less if every one of them died now..because y`know....that`s to be expected..."

Don`t get me wrong,i don`t hate this anime. I still love it and i still think it is awesome..I love the action this anime offers,i love the fight scenes,the animation and the splendid soundtrack. Heck,i even love the characters and their bonds...BUT by showing to many deaths my enjoyment was somehow ruined... :/

I am really curious about the next episode though....i wonder what`s gonna happen? So,who`s gonna die next? :D
This is where I`d put my signature...If i had one.

Lol extreme manga reader pls, you should just stop watching the anime if all you're going to do is shovel your hate down other people's throats. And hey, stop reading the manga too, the only thing you're doing is harming the mangaka. You're doing great work in the AGK community, I salute you. :)

Every imperial arms has a trump card, it would be stupid for Tatsumi not to use his in such a dire situation. There's also still one more ep so we'll see what happens to the shitty kid.

Am I the only one who's not bothered by all the deaths? You're a friggin' small group taking on an empire; expect people to die (unlike in most shonens with their massive plot armour). It keeps me on edge at least.

Strangely enough, I didn't feel anything from Tatsumi dying, despite the fact that he is MC-kun (I'm just like Esdeath, lol).

I hope the Emperor dies, though. What a little dickhead. He may be a kid, but the fact that he continues to listen to corrupt ministers and have no remorse killing his own people for stopping Night Raid proves that even if the kid grows up, he'll still be a horrible ruler.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.
