| A scan from the upcoming issue of Gangan Joker magazine will be announcing that an anime adaptation of the fantasy manga Akame ga Kill! has been green-lit. No other information for the anime has been given at this time. Synopsis: Tatsumi is a fighter who just got robbed by a pretty girl, but his luck seems to be looking up, as another pretty girl has taken him in. What he doesn't know is that this girl is about to be visited by a family of assassins (including the girl who robbed him) and they might be the good guys, and be recruiting...

| Sounds interesting, as long as the show doesn't become TOO harem-ish. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I recall reading the synopsis of this manga and being partially interested in reading it. Now I may have to consider choosing one form or the other. This is intriguing. |

| ESDESE IS GETTING ANIMATED, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY, BLESS THE GODS Knew I shouldn't have caught up to the manga. Let's just hope a decent studio gets their hot little mitts on this, preferably Madhouse because there is going to be a butt ton of censorship. Bones or I.G would be good too so fingers crossed for them. This year is a good year |
 |
| I hope whatever studio works on it is good at handling fight scene Sakuga and giving characters attractive character designs. The manga is entertaining enough with its characters and story so I can easily see the anime being a hit. |

| YES! Can't wait to see a PV of this soon! I wonder what studio will be animating this though...and who will voice Esdese. |
 |
| An action, adventure, fantasy. Looking forward to it, I wonder how long it will be. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| Looks completely boring and unmentionable from the synopsis. Maybe a PV will change my mind. Probably not. Pseudo-harems are even more annoying than actual harems. |
 |
| 2014 IS AN AMAZING YEAR !!! (YEAH) the manga sales have been pretty good recently, so hyped for this :D |
 |

| FUCK YEAH! I am so happy to hear this news, I can't wait to see all of Night Raid animated, 2014 just keeps surprising with these announcements! I can't wait to hear info on the studio (Hoping for IG/Wit or Madhouse [To a lesser extent]) and the cast. |

Flume said: ESDESE IS GETTING ANIMATED, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY, BLESS THE GODS This^^^ YES!!! Finally!!!! I have been waiting! It has finally happened. I'm so excited! It's a great Manga, and it deserves an Anime adaptation. =^-^= So happy! Read more at http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=735217&pages=1&show=0#XECKsS0pgXXYwHgy.99 |

| Already started the manga. I don't like the art that much, I think it has to do with the ink or something? |

I read the first chapter to see more what the series is about and in terms of art is seemed fine to me. Nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. Yeah I know it was normal and better than the cover art. But I don't know how to express my dislike for the art specifically. I have the same problem with Kuroko no basket and Magi's art. The ink I think. I dunno, it's hard to explain. |
|
| Wow. I only recently picked this up and it gets animated? Nice one! |
  |
| Lets hope WIT/I.G to animate it. |
 |
| Manga is rated pretty high. Will definitely check this one out. Hopefully the anime gets animated by a good studio. |
Wind_Sr said: VanishingKira said: and not Madhouse especially after what they did with Mahou Sensou. I'm glad I wasn't the only one let down. It's obvious that Madhouse put this only out to get some quick cash (framerate, etc.) and given the fact that even the creator thought it was not a good idea to adapt it I believe you guys should just accept that nobody cares about [Bad LN/VN]'s adaption that is only interesting to a few otakus anyway. I am glad nobody wasted more ressources than needed to animate such pulp fiction. On-topic: I always dismissed it as an edgy, yet otherwise pretty meh action series. However, given the tropes, it's popularity and this adaption anouncement doesn't suprise me. |

| MY BODY IS SO READY! Thank you anime gods! My god, I feel so happy right now. I've been dying to see an Akame ga Kill! anime. I really hope Production I.G. or Madhouse Studios picks this up though. <3333 |
 |
| I was planning to read it, but now I guess I'll just wait for this anime adaptation. I was hoping for a good action/fantasy anime to be made and hopefully this can be the one. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I can die happy now. |
| ❑ Single ❑ Taken ✔ Mentally dating a character that doesn't actually exist |
| I read the first chapter just now and it seems good. I don't think I want to keep reading though. I didn't quite expect some of the things that happened so I'd rather be surprised (and maybe shocked?) when I watch it animated. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| No surprise there, been expecting this news ever since they announced that there will be a new project. 2014 just can't stop getting better. |

| Kind of had a feeling this terrible manga was going to get one, but oh well. I want to know which studio will animate it. malvarez1 said: It becomes very Harem-ish, every girl wants the MC, even the edgy psychotic ones.Sounds interesting, as long as the show doesn't become TOO harem-ish. |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Really hope some mods would put strict moderation for this thread. This manga is extremely popular on western fandom and there's nearly zero guarantee for non-manga reader like me to come out from the thread which soon's going to be heavy barrage of spoilerish comments unscathed |

| Pretty much expected this. |
 |
Flume said: ESDESE IS GETTING ANIMATED, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY, BLESS THE GODS Besides that I can't get myself to be very happy about it because a big part of manga's impact is around gore scenes that I know will be heavy censured lol |
| So much WIN in one announcment :D Let´s just hope it will live up to the expectations :) |
"Dream of nothing and wake to a dream come true."     |
| Best news of 2014!!! Akame is finally going to get animated. |
 |
| BEST FUCKING NEWS OF THE MONTH. I'm rather scared of it being censored to death but there's always hope for BDs. Exciting news. |
| In a way it's like a generic shounen but it has more gore and MC killing going on. As for the harem elements: Yes, most girls have a thing for the male MC, but it's not done in a retarted way like most harem shows and the females are pretty much all badass fighters, not just there for eyecandy and fawning around the male MC. |
| I never read the manga but this looks good. I hope it get aired in Spring this year |

Flume said: ESDESE IS GETTING ANIMATED, CHRISTMAS HAS COME EARLY, BLESS THE GODS This year is a good year THiS THiS and dammit, MOAR OF THiS! I just knew it would get animated after the "big announcement" it got a few chapters ago I just hope they stick to the story, brotherhood-style and not deviate from the plot by turning the whole damn thing into harem-shit |
 |
| Hell yeah, finally~ I totally expect that this will be censored as hell but still good news *_* |
 |
| Best news this week so far. Hope it gets a good adaptation....and I wonder how many episodes it'll get. |
