| Just saw this episode, and uh... At first I kept an open mind when I noticed that we were straying from the manga for the last part of the series, because anime original material isn't always bad and in all honesty I thought it was 'okay' until this episode for several reasons; 1. Would have been fine with Tatsumi suddenly being dead if.. there had just been more of a visible impact? I found his final moments to be somewhat lacking for the protagonist. I don't acknowledge Akame as 'THE' protagonist simply because she gets little to no screen-time whatsoever. I just think... something more could have been done, honestly. But hey, not going to linger on this. It's pretty forgivable. 2. Akame Vs Esdese was pretty nifty, and I understand that they tossed in a sudden plot device that would empower Akame but it was extremely lolsy. Najenda used her life-force to empower her god-tier imperial arms and Esdese reduced Susanoo to shit. Akame sacrifices... nothing in the use of her god-tier trump card and can pummel Esdese. It does not make a whole lot of sense but eh. It's forgivable. 3. I was hoping Esdese would have at least 'some' realization or come to terms with her feelings but ultimately her death rings rather hollow and stagnant, just like most of the characters. Again though, completely forgivable if not derpy. 4. Getting to what made me vote a 2# for this topic. Leone's death. Fuck off. Whoever coined that lame ass idea is an absolute fuck I don't know but someone vile. Herpaderpa imperial arms canceler out of nowhere that I could have used at any time but decided to save it for just this convenient moment, hahahaha, - somehow survives being shot several times over long enough to say her farewells and walk around all day, only to end up in some alley and dead likely at the mercy of the next pervert necrophiliac to walk along. It was extremely lolsy and random, just to kill off the last remaining member of Night Raid who had a natural knack for survival despite always coming back from the worst injuries. That's my only major complaint in a nutshell. Otherwise I'd just rate this a 4/5 for entertainment factor and move along. It's okay when a show steps on your feels in a way that at least makes sense or isn't out-right derp, but they pretty much spat on Leone's character entirely. |
 |
| Well, it finally ended I was ready to give this 6/10. But the the last five episodes were worse than what I expected. So 5/10 from me, and I'm not a manga reader. |

Endycia said: This show threads remind me of SAO and whomever came before, loads of people hating on it and just making it more popular, and I don't really mind it due to the fact that there's a higher chance of getting more from the author. Although there's no need to bash each other's tastes. Just go watch something you enjoy and shove your negativity up your ass. I really enjoyed SAO and loved this show till ep 19, there is no negativity in telling the ending was crap... Anime only watchers say the same too and they are not pessimistic. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Um, obviously. Without imperial arms the characters are no more than humans. What did you expect, a human to survive after being shot multiple times in the stomach that obviously pierced internal organs from the range she was shot at? I mean, it was was obvious Leone just wanted to see the kingdom post revolution and witness people smiling and getting along which she did. Its not really hard to grasp. Lol, I would expect her to go down after the first bullet, either from pain or from blood loss. You know, since that is what happens if a normal person is shot. |
AkaHoshii said: i'll do both and love both for what it is. Even Grisaia where they adapt the anime and most ppl thinks its garbage, i finished the vn and watched the anime. personally im just happy they animate it, though other may say its butchered lol. I really like Grisaia too but that is the thing, in Grisaia they cut out scenes, here they replaced with nonsensical things like, gundams, Incursio-flying-wolwerine to name only a few. They stop living up to the story whatsoever, it's been perfect but than it doesn't make sense and the studio gets away with it |
Zadion said: KaniowskiKun101 said: Also, nobody in this show as any emotions what so ever. All of Akame and Najenda's friends are dead and they can casually discuss their future on top of a giant wall without shedding tears? Get the fuck out of here. So much killing, dying, and destruction happened and nobody even flinches. Whatever dude. You're kidding, right? If you take away all the fantasy, super weapons and surprise giant gundams, AgK is a very realistic portrayal of war. People die. Comrades die. You don't have time to mourn; you have time to accept and that's it. People go into war knowing their comrades will die and have accepted it long before it happens. Anime melodrama has brainwashed you into thinking all tragedy has to be accompanied by buckets of tears and endless remorse over fallen comrades. That's not how real war works. In AgK, a character showed sadness or cried over an ally's death then quickly moved on because that is what realistically happens. Akame and Najenda had come to terms with it all already. There was clear sadness over fallen comrades, but they knew what they signed up for. And this even neglects the fact that this scene occurred sometime after the end of the revolution, not later that day, at which point they would've been able to discuss their fallen allies without crying over it anyway. Thanks for the update, I didnt know anime has brainwashed me into having emotions. Read a war novel. One that isnt marketed towards teens. |
Snaita said: Glad they didn't show the three worst deaths of the history in the anime, but they shouldn't have showed their faces since no anime watcher knows who they really are...  Making fun of people at their faces again. hmmm if I remember the manga correctly. The blue haired one gets her eyes gouged out. The Pink haired one gets repeatedly raped by a huge dog. and the Blonde haired one gets her limbs broken off. Now why are we angry that these things DIDN'T happen to them in the anime? |
| 1. Solid object covered in ice will disappear into the thin air as the ice break. 2. Imperial arms get destroyed. Immediately loss all physical ability/reflect. 3. Have all the time to get medical attention, go wander around the town only to die like a street dog. 4. "Please build this kingdom without any more bloodshed." That's rich coming from someone who maintain peace by killing the innocent. Fitting end for a train wreck of inconsistency. Final MAL score most likely above 8/10 just because it's shounen that contain gore (these kids feels like a badass just because able/enjoy watching gore anime) For me it's 5/10. |

bladeangel said: On the plus side that fight was the best i've yet to see in any anime. On the minus side it sadly wasn't a good ending. I'm happy both the emperor and minister were executed, but Leone randomly dying and Run and Wave just chilling on the sidelines was just kinda WTF. As someone who has thoroughly enjoyed the anime and defended it valiantly from manga haters I hate to see it all go off in nothingness. Thank you Akame for being badass and staying alive. Thank you leone for painting the floor with the prime minister's face, even if you did manage to get killed by him ... my god, it's sad but true. Episode 23 of the fucking Akame ga Kill Theatre would have been a better ending than this. Score dropped That is what I felt after episode 19, I a so called manga hater even though I prefer Anime in general... Honestly no one should pass out on the manga. |
| Well I liked 18.5 episodes out of 24, so I'll give this a 6/10 |
| at the beginning of the anime, did anyone else think it was gonna be a Tatsumi x Akame ending? lol |

Mad at why they showed their faces if no one knows them in the first place... Now why haven't we learned how to read correctly? |
| This was nothing short of beautiful. Akame's final form was everything I imagined and more since I saw Murasame absorb Kurome's blood. It might be anime-only but I dearly hope it came from the authors mind and its in the manga. I couldnt help but hate Esdeath once again for stealing away Tatsumi's body and Im glad I hated her in the end. Lastly, I want to be sad that Leone died as well but its hard to be sad when someone dies with a smile. |

| I'm thinking about punching myself after this ending. |

Yea, but if you don't see their faces then it is just implied that these things did happen to them. Just like with Bol's wife. I didn't know she was still alive until I saw her at the end there. At least this supports the theory that the manga will be drastically different |
Snaita said: Mad at why they showed their faces if no one knows them in the first place... I'm pretty sure those kids are meant as some of Night Raid's ''reincarnations'', if you would. Leone, Mine and... Susano'o, i guess? Either that or the scene represents hope for a peaceful, new generation with the purest form of innocence - a child. Anyway, it's really amusing seeing people bitch about a scene that took like 3 seconds of screentime and is literally just some kids watching fireworks. Gotta find everything we can possibly be butthurt about, am i right? |

Even Bol wife and daughter appeared before, this three lambs didn't. The manga was to be drastically different when the Hunter arc was cut-off dude. |

The 3 girls appear in the manga and like bladeangel said they have really disturbing deaths. Why did they showed them now? If they were reincarnations why not different girls since they already did an original endind. "I'm pretty sure those kids are meant as some of Night Raid's ''reincarnations'', if you would. Leone, Mine and... Susano'o, i guess? Either that or the scene represents hope for a peaceful, new generation with the purest form of innocence - a child." What made you think they are this? Are you on drugs? |

| I liked the anime a lot but obviously the manga is better but I feel like people dont like the anime because they compare it to the manga all the time. I appreciate the fact that they "adapted" the manga but an anime shouldn't be judged solely on it's accuracy to the manga. |
| Awesome ending. 5/5 |

At least this supports the theory that the manga will be drastically different they look like younger versions of the night raid girls who died? but wow they died like that in the manga? |
| And so..it ends Let's take a look in some stuff that happened: Leone's death was completely unnecessary and forced, no doubt the worst death in terms of writing. Esdeath just ditched her sword, because FUCK IT. Akame's power up is one of the worst asspulls i've ever seen in my life, it doesn't even makes any sense whatsoever. Won't bother mentioning all the other stupid things with this episode. Ending was ok, at least Esdeath died with the man she loves Fight was decent at best, horrible choreography. Good things: Bols' wife and daughter are alive. The 3 country girls too. Now, the animation and art throughout the anime was pretty good, the stills looked gorgeous, same goes for the backgrounds, if it fails at anything, it is the character designs. Soundtrack: some amazing tracks here and there, really sets up the mood, overall it was pretty great, if u think otherwise them stop lying to yourself. Akame ga Kill was a breeze of fresh air, taking all those annoying shounen cliches and just throwing them out the window, adding risk and tension to all conflicts, making you fear for the characters' lifes, which is great, the industry needs more series like this, willling to do something different, take a bet. The show had a good start with what it has done with the adaptation, however the way the story is adapted later on is rather laughable, episode transitions that doesn't make sense and give off a rushed vibe, fan-fiction level crafted fillers, the way it derails from the makes it look like a joke, almost like an insult for fans hoping for a faithful adaptation when it decides to make up its own little story. This gets a 6/10 solely because of the first half. An anime that will forever stain White Fox's name for me. |

| I really couldn't care less about what everyone else thought of this, I think this was a pretty good show, even after it trailed away from the manga. That was a pretty sick fight between Esdeath and Akame. RIP second best girl. At least she got some kind of happy end. Didn't care much for the fact that she also destroyed Tatsumi's body along with her own, so he can't be buried, but whatever. I really hoped that best girl (A.K.A Leone) would survive, but oh well. She at least went out happy. Splattered the shit out of the ministers head too xD Soooooo happy to see Bols's wife and child alive and happy, instead of...you know... Watching this show every week was a pleasure. It wasn't the best show this season, but it was a fairly good series in it's own right. :) |

| The ending was less bad than I thought it'd be. Which isn't to say it was good. I agree that Leone's death was horribly, horribly written. Why didn't she knock out the minister's gun instead of letting him shoot her repeatedly? Gah. Why didn't Akame die when she cut herself with her sword? I expected the emperor to end up crying hysterically and pleading for his life but he faced his demise with dignity. |

Snaita said: -snip- Calm down, leetist. What's with the insults? So did you forget that this is anime-only? Why the hell would the anime-only viewers even care about the children being shown, if they don't even know who they are in the first place? Better question, why do you care they are shown, but not explained? For anyone oblivious to the truth, those are just some normal children that enjoy fireworks. And seriously, did you somehow miss the fact that this show doesn't follow the manga after episode 19? Lmao... And what i wrote was just a suggestion, an entirely probable one, at that. You feel big now that you make fun of it just because it doesn't fit your views? |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~ |
| Caught up with the manga before this episode aired... not even mad. I think they handled it fairly well given the limited number of episodes they had left to wrap things up even though it was rushed. Leone's death was unnecessary though. If you are going to kill off Leone like that, Akame should have also died for using Murasame's ability completing the Night Raid martyr theme they have going on. It's a popular show and there will always will be hate no matter what. |
| Well I thought this was a pretty good episode and anime. The last battle was pretty good and it ended well. I do dislike the fact Esdeath got to Tatsumi and the 2 of them went bang. That part I did not care for to much. But at least Akame ga Kill Theater showed that, Eseath got the body, but not his soul. Tatsumi and Mine are together. Still a good title. |

| So i can't forgive the anime original "rushing" and completely skipping an arc i wanted to see, but the ending was okay. I'm not going to make that long of a post but i'll give it a 5/10, i was planning on giving it a 4/10 but like i said i did enjoy the ending. |
  |
| Regardless of this being a trainwreck, especially in the most recent episodes, I enjoyed watching it. For that I'll have to give Akame ga Kill! a light 8 out of 10. |

| Wow. That was so bad. SO bad. Even worse than the storyboards made it look. Love how any sense of logic just flew out the window this episode. Back in like episode 2 Akame mentioned that if she cut herself with Murasame she would die...guess uhh she lied? Akame somehow Deus X's Esdese Trump card. Her reason as to why was fucking retarded. Best part of the entire episode was the Esdese x Tatsumi ship finally sailing...even if it was one sided. Leone dying for the sake of people dying. Teigu that was designed for the sole purpose of destroying one other teigu before being destroyed itself...fucking perfect sense. Lets not even get started on the FINTLOCK PISTOL THAT CAN FIRE 16 SHOTS IN A ROW! Cant even use teigu logic on that. Akame's only consequence for using the asspull trumpcard was scars on her body. ok. Might as well just call them tattoos. Najenda being the sweet lady she is puts all the blame for Nightraid on Akame and basically has to exile her. Akame just says fuck it w.e. brah. Love the scene where it showed all of the Nightraid characters in the sunset. Mostly because it showed Braht, Tatsumi, and then Braht wearing Incursio on the right end lol. White Fox just decided not to QC this ep. Fucking garbage. It had a 10/10 from me up until 19. 19 made me drop it to like a 9. But after that, I don't even know if a rating scale exists on the planet that can let me rate this low enough. Honestly, if White Fox was going with an anime original plot for the last third of the show because they didn't want to do another season, then they should've just made the entire show an entire original script that doesn't follow the manga. Then nobody would complain about the adaptation being poor. Then if another studio wanted to invest their resources in a true adaptation they could do it and the White Fox version would just be non-canon. Fuck you White Fox. Go back to sucking the bleedy AIDS dicks of Studio Pierrot. |
