Isn't this manga super gory/violent? They're probably going to censor it...

I haven't read it yet, but it's on my PTR.

Really looking forward to it, but I can't help but wonder how much censoring it will have as it airs. Hopefully it's done by a good studio and they keep the color schemes of the characters as they are in the manga.

I hope Wit/Production I.G animates this,and not Madhouse especially after what they did with Mahou Sensou.

Suddenly, HxH 2011 and Ippo doesn't exist anymore. Besides, they can't really do much when the source material itself isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Ah hell, now I gotta work like mad to catch up on this manga! I wanna get past where the anime could possibly get to before it airs so I can compare the show to the original.

I think Mahou Sensou deserves the bad treatment. Pulp Fiction doesn't need high production values, unlike HxH or Ippo.

No, he means the moment it goes from a generic "defeat the evil empire" series to a "holy shit what just happened" series.

That first chapter was amazing. I love springing it on people.

Ah I remember reading this awhile ago, didn't expect to develop so violent as it did , it was a good story, expected an anime adaption sooner or later.

Just hope it goes to the right studio to give it some justice with all the gore, disembodiment of body parts it has lol. Looking forward to it~

*grin*
Because you think that look will disappear from their face after the first episode? xD

Anyway, good news, but I'm a bit afraid that it'll be overly censored and overly changed in order to be less violent for the numerous pink minded anime watchers.

I read the manga. It is painfully bland and uninspired. Hell, even Deadman Wonderland was better for shock value and DW was pretty bad.

SO EXCITED for this one!!! Finally. I can see that they may end the anime with the recent arc just finished in the manga... but it seems it won't be much of a proper closure.

Anyways, Esdese is gonna be animated!!! Hell yeah. I can totally see Shizuka Itou voicing her, somebody needs to cast her as Esdese! (having a similar voice to Hilda of Beelzebub)

Finally caught up. Hype as fuck for this. God dammit this manga is one of the most intense I've ever read, every damn action scene I was terrified about who would win, you never know who could die until it's over.

Hopefully this is two-cour and made by a competent team, all those action scenes are gonna need a lot of budget.

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.

Don't know about Akame ga Kill, but Hoshi no Samidare wasn't that great in my opinion. The premise was excellent and it had some awesome moments but the mc was annoying and I felt the story wasted a lot of potential. I still enjoyed it, but it could have been much better.
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 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.

I think it did exactly what it set to do, subtly undermine tropes, being coherent and deliver a good story with great characters. It's far from being generic despite the initial premise.

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.

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.

Lol, your giant experience surely enables you to disregard these valid complaints. Never read an 80s Shounen from WSJ? HxH? Deadman Wonderland or any edgy action Shounen series that plays with the exact same tropes?
I read AkG and it is NOTHING extraordinary. Just because you and many other people have only read one gritty Shounen so far doesn't mean it is unique in any sense of the word.

Especially the twist in the first chapter is laughable as everybody can see it coming a mile away (Protip: Series like Shin Angyo Onshi - aka the REAL SAO - did it way better, although with switched roles). Nor is the morality shown in the main group of both villians and protagonists any different as labels such as 2assassins" are only superficial when tropes don't change. Don't get me started at how predictable every death is as the author makes it REALLY obvious.
Hell, not even the "gore" is anything out of the norm. This is a typical "gritty" Shounen, don't mislead people.

Or maybe we just like gritty shounen. Sheesh. Just because something has been done before doesn't mean it's invalid or "bad".

AGK combines gritty shounen with modern-day style/asthetics which is why I love it. I don't really like the look of old manga that much.

No, but just because something utilizes a few tropes a bit differently doesn't mean it is automatically 10/10 OMG SO HYPE BEST SHOW 2014 either.
Can't you just stop the dumb hype train for one second? For at least one show? Pretty please with sugar on top?
