Frostav said: Cupquake said: I feel the same about this show. The author has an annoying habit of introducing characters but then killing them off pretty soon after. Plus the back stories are kind of laughable. No shit, that's the kind of manga AGK is. The entire point is that anyone can die at any time, unlike so many other shounen. But it does it in a bad way. Game of Thrones kills off a lot of it's important characters, but gives those characters lots of pages before he does. You know something about the characters; you care about then. With Agk it's like "Oh hey that dude died. Uh...who was he/she again? Um..I think we had this short backstory about how shitty his/her life was. Is that it? Yeah he died like right after." |

It also helps that GRRM can actually write and has character with real ambiguity. However, I agree that the formula in AgK is very stale: |

Thank you for proving that you haven't read past the first chapter of this manga. Please go and actually read it before spouting off nonsensical bullshit. Did you even think to look to see if I had read it before spouting your own nonsensical bullshit? Jesus christ, just because a series kills off characters like Urobuchi Gen on a bad day, it doesn't make it any better. In fact for Akame ga Kill, it's trying too hard to be realistic by using this, which doesn't go well at all with the PLOT armor a select few of the cast has (e.g. MC, Akame, Edese, Tsundere Sniper Girl, ect), so you dear sir, can kindly step the fuck off my case with your bullshit reasoning. |

| Please continue to circlejerk about how AGK sucks, we really need it in the thread. |
| Indeed, we need more drama on this thread, go all out guys! Go, Elite members of MAL, prove to us how little logic you possess, go, oh almighty fans, prove yourselves to be even lower than them by really obvious and obnoxious reasons! When will that day when people understand really basic stuff like, art is subjective, manga/LN/etc get animated because they're popular thus money and that nobody gives a fuck about how much you love a show? Anyway, I'm okay with this, I'd love more chapters of this shit though, and I want to see: |

| Who cares of petty things like names, the MC could even be called Felch for what I care (or blumpkin), I just want sudden twists that can fit in almost any story but nobody implements them because of angry fans. EDIT: But truly, Blumpkin is a nice name. |

| I would like to say that I don't hate agk, I just think it's inferior to a series like Naruto or One Piece. And everyone in Night Raid should realize that everything is not going to be fixed after they win the revolution, most likely some other dick is going to seize power and they'll be right back where they started |

Come at me I truly have no idea why, but since you changed your avatar (and that was a long time ago), your responses always made me laugh, knowing the character in the avatar. Anyway, no way. I'm not Nidhoeggr. It's kind of sad that I'm sure this will get like 12 episodes though with lots of censors. I mean, I'd love to see the side stories in an OVA or something, that would be fucking swell, but who in the right mind would even show that shit on TV? Let's hope for the best though, HOPE DIES LAST BUT HOPE IS ALSO THE FIRST STEP TO DISAPPOINTMENT. |

Can't you just stop the dumb hype train for one second? For at least one show? Pretty please with sugar on top? did you like come here just to bash on people that supports this becoming an anime or what. Its hilarious how you sound so philosophical over just a manga |

| Leaked by author on his twitter that White Fox is animating it. It's been deleted since but it said this: アニメの制作を引き受けて下さったWHITE FOX様。配給して下さる東映様に多大なる感謝を。そしてJOKERのコメントでも書きましたが、今まで応援して下さった皆様のおかげです！本当にありがとうございます！m(－－)m Not a bad choice, could be a lot worse. Steins Gate looked pretty but had ugly action sequences. Maou-sama was decent animation-wise (I think) and I haven't seen Jormungand or Katanagatari yet, so I have my faith in them EDIT: Source |
 |
| White Fox baby. I'm kinda happy with that. |
 |
| Based White Fox. This is their first shounen so I appreciate them taking a risk/trying something new. Official site is up http://akame.tv/ |

| The only outstanding thing about White Fox that i know is their ability to deliver mundane dialogues into something interesting and involving through wit and subtance (The dialogue heavy Steins Gate, Jormungand, and Maou-sama are three such examples), and since some people told me that this manga is apparently way more action than talk, now i'm really curious how they're going to handle it |
| So freaking awesome! Love the manga. Can't wait to see this animated. |
 |
| White Fox huh? They're on a rise recently since all of their adaptations were pretty good and based on a few shows that I've seen, they have a pretty diverse style so I'm curious to see how this one goes. It would be stellar if they would give a big budget for the animation and art. I'm quite satisfied right now so will be looking forward for more news. :) |

| This will be another great news for 2014. |
 |
| Woohoo!! I really loved the manga. Although there was a part i hated and made me rage but still. Yay |
| I can't wait for this... |
| When I saw the title, I mistook it first for KILL LA KILL! lol Anyway, I look forward watching this. |
| "Everyone wears their own panties inside their heart" - Kousaku Hata |
| The synopsis seems pretty simple but interesting. Sounds like something I'd definitely like to try! The reviews on the manga seem good, too. Will certainly give it a try if I have the time. c: |
| Woot wooot! Death Flag the anime! |

| I'm praying that this gets popular enough to spawn some doujins. Fujos, just one TatsumixRabac doujin for this fudanshi. Just one, please. Some people think that this might become the next Attack on Titan if they play their cards right. While that means hordes of casual scum will come in and fuck the fandom up, it also means we'll be seeing lots of fanart...I can't be the only one who thinks Tatsumi and Rabac are cute together dammit. EDIT: Holy shit my new avatar finally showed up...but now I wanna change it to one of Nyau. Dammit. |

EDIT: Holy shit my new avatar finally showed up...but now I wanna change it to one of Nyau. Dammit. Imo it would be BETTER than SnK. But that's probably because I've obsessed over Akame ga Kill WAY MORE than SnK. AgK's art is more of my style too. I really hope that White Fox will work their magic and make this into the anime of 2014. I have high hopes. I don't wanna see my favorite manga's anime adaption flop :P |
 |
| Looking forward to it. Except that girl who was crazy about "justice". Wonder if she will be comparatively annoying animated. |
| So White Fox is animating this? I didn't see that coming, but still would watch. Judging from the battle scenes in Maou-Sama, they deliver some good sakuga. |
 |
| I hope they don't skimp on the gory details in the name of censorship and such. I hope they will have enough episodes to cover all the material we've seen so far in the manga; really really looking forward to this. |
| HYPED UP. I want to see Esdese in animation :D |

| The manga when I read it was unbelievably bland and forgettable. The majority of the characters fell into cliches and stereotypes. How is it possible that this 9 volume adds nothing new negligible manga gets an adaptation when Clover (TETSUHIRO HIRAKAWA), a 34 volume dramatical, emotional and action work of art doesn't even make news on here. |

Because anime production companies don't choose manga to adapt based on your subjective perception of quality. Nidhoeggr said: fueille said: Oh lord, why has thou forsaken me? I swear, why do all the cliche and boring ass shounen manga get adaptions? This is getting outrageous, it really is. It's a shame, really. Why is this getting animated and not Hoshi No Samidare, for example? If they want to animate manga with a lot of fighting that might as well take the good ones. Because hoshi no samidare is not that good and the more obvious reason being that it's a finished manga. |

| Cool !!! :) |
 |
| Esdese being animated is awesome as I really don't like any of the other characters at the point I'm at in the manga. |
| Bring back down votes on reviews |
nitrohawk said: Esdese being animated is awesome as I really don't like any of the other characters at the point I'm at in the manga. I hope they don't censor torture scenes. That would be disappointing. Anyone else think Tatsumi looks like Edward Elric? |
|
| He looks like Towa no Quon's Insania so i tho it would get picked up Bones which would be amazing but its gonna be White fox which is not bad but not as great as Bones. Its a cool manga, pretty exciting in my opinion, i see no reason to bitch about it |

You're free to your own opinion but Akame Ga Kiru! is far from the cliche shounen. it is. Deadman Wonderland, etc. have all doen this before. Hell, Go Nagai himself did this back then. |
