| Killing off all the characters at the ending looks so forced and rushed. The fight was nice though, but Leone's death was so unnecessary and forced... losing her power doesn't mean she can't fucking move and she was in close range! She has the upper hand as assassin and as close combat expert. The next facepalm was her letting the minister to shoot her again... |

| Why didn't akame die in the end? |
| Mortal King |
| So many plot holes in this anime |
| Mortal King |
| I feel really sorry for the people from Tatsumi's village, they have no idea that their heroes are dead and never coming back... Until the very last moments of the episode I thought Tatsumi would make a comeback or something, but it didn't happen, rest in peace Tatsumi. Overall this anime touched me many times. Many don't like it and I can totally see why, but for me who is bored of all these shows that are showered with plot armor and nobody ever dies, this show kept me to the edge of my seat constantly. 9/10. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It's either an 8 or 9 from me, haven't decided yet. Loved the characters, music, comedy and the fights were so damn good! I've never seen such awesome and enjoyable fights before. I loved almost everything about this show but the ending was a bit dissatisfying. I wanted my Esdeath x Tatsumi ship to sail so bad, before I started this show I always thought they ended up as a couple. Don't know where I got that (I've probably seen the final scene of Esdeath somewhere and assumed they were together) but it never happened and I wanted it sooo baaaaad maaaaan. And fuck don't even get me started on Leone what the fuck MAN. Seeing that pig bastard gets his head smashed made me really happy tho. Leone didn't deserve to die like that. :c RIP Night Raid, thank you for your enjoyable fights. Also RIP Esdeath, you were my favorite <3 |

He couldn't even be buried next to Mine or Ieyasu and Sayo. Why slicing herself with Muramasa didn't kill Akame? Leone died like street whore, thanks Takahiro and White Fox. I read it from beginning of the scanlations. |

| Yikes, what a bloodbath. Even though I liked Leone, I just had to laugh when she died because it was just as if the writers were trying to kill off everybody, no matter what level of bullshittery that entailed. I knew that my favorite, Esdeath, had to lose to Akame, but I was frustrated it happened via deus ex machina with the hitherto unheard of "afterimage" thing. And then the closing narration was basically "Everybody had a negative perception of Night Raid at first but then they just forgot about them entirely and the world is still just as violent as ever." So this was all pointless? Am I reading the situation correctly? I guess that this is the consequence of people thinking that dark and edgy automatically equates to deep and intelligent. Enjoyed it, but it gets a 6/10 due to the try hard edgy ending and the bizarre tonal shifts. Would watch a remake in the future because I think there's a lot of potential here to make something a lot better. |
That was a nice series... But, come on! Almost everyone died!!!! And, as I read, a lot of people cried in this episode. Lol, am I the only one that didn't see anything that sad in here? I guess I just don't have any feelings :( Nice fight, by the way. Murasame doesn't work on Akame? Is that why she still lives? |
| Pretty good anime. It had some mixed of serious and comedy stuff and it was good overall. Im a anime only and until the last episode i was about to give it a 9/10 since it didn't had any special moments or interesting plot points to make a 10 anime for me but having an original ending or not the ending was actually interesting and i didn't expected that. Despite having a lot of BS moments and characters puling hyper unrealistic stuff, which im not a fan of i m going to give 10/10 overall. |
| Whitefox.....just why? |
| It was a really good show. i think people often hating sad endings and that's why the anime is underrated a little bit. in my opinion the score should be over 8 Makey said: As I got to read on the proper story, I got the way things truly should have ended. Leone was my favourite character and her death was better shown in the manga compared to the anime where it sorta skipped the major reason why she lost the fight but still it was questionable in both (anime/manga) why she never went to get medical help. Does Leone really die in manga? she is my favorite character too, and the way Leone died wasn't right. her death didn't make any sense and it was really upsetting. i was hoped that she was alive in manga :(( |
 |
| I feel like there'd be more of an emotional impact if I read the manga so I think I'll do that instead. Anime seemed very meh |
 |
| I loved the final fight between Akame and Esdeath but overall the anime was very mediocre from start to finish. I like that they weren't afraid to kill main characters but most of them didnt touch me at all, Sheele (the first "major" death) barely had any screen time and allthough it was sad for the Night Raid members we barely got to know her and it kind of set the tone of the show. Funny thing is that Bols and Seryu (and Koro) dying had the most impact one me, despite not even being the "good guys". To be honest, it just felt like your typical fantasy anime aside from all those major deaths. That said it's not like it wasn't enjoyable ... because it definitely was :) 7/10 |

| AKames was Sooooooo cool when she uses her trump card. And the way she held her sword was amazing. |
| ''We have to live a life with no regrets.'' -By Portgas D. Ace |
| Decent series, good ending. One shouldn't have to read manga to enjoy its anime adaptation. Too many people talking bullshit. |
| The fight between Akame and Esdeath was awesome until the whole Esdeath stopping time and space to kill Akame then... somehow not killing Akame? It felt like a 'you had one job' meme and the 'after-image' was utter bs. Akame should've died in that moment, or some other shit should've happened and resulted in Esdeath's death, not whatever the hell that was. Then again, when you give a character the ability to stop time and space ofc you're going to have to find a bullshit way to kill them off. Anyway, I'm okay with overlooking that since Esdeath wasn't the greatest of characters anyway, and if my boy Lubbock's gonna die, she sure as hell is too since this show is Akame ga Kill all the main characters. About that whole 'one person dies every episode' it hit home with Mine since she was growing on me, and what the hell was up with Tatsumi dying too? Since I read up on the manga seeing characters die from asspulls in the anime led to a bit of confusion and just a bit of 'why' because they could've just stuck to the manga... and you know, had less unnecessary bloodshed while keeping to the original story. But okay then, guess not. Akame was the best girl though so glad she made it through the bullshittery death toll that heavily exceeded over 9000. Don't even get me started on Leone's death though. Like the fuck?? You can get your damn arm sewn back on but you're going to bite the dust because of an old fart firing some fucking bullets at you? Tragic writing tbh. Overall 7/10, might change to a 6/10 just because my salt levels are increasing as I'm mulling over some of it. Still a good anime with nice ass art and cool fight scenes though. |

| Two things here... first, Leone's death was RETARDED. That was the most pointless and anti-climactic death in this entire series - right at the end. I think it's even more pointless and unnecessary than Tatsumi's. All the things she survived and fights she was in, and she gets shot by a fatass piece of crap? and DIES??? I'm very irritated right now - hooray. This anime was pretty good, but killing off basically the entire cast was a bad move, imo - unique? sure, but not satisfying in the least. Second, that ice bitch should have died in a pool of her own blood. That they gave her a "cool" death when other, better characters didn't, irritates me too. Not ok with this. The fact that wave and Run still view her in a positive light at the end is unfathomably irritating, considering her existence and everything she did was in direct opposition to what they stand for. I'm going to add another gripe... Akame should have gotten at least a consolation prize after all that. As fun to watch as this was, it's got to be the most unsatisfying anime I've ever seen. I have a problem with almost everything by the end. contento18 said: I wish that there would be a season 2 of this akame ga Kill LOL, yeah... starring Akame, and only Akame. I guess we can count Najenda, until she dies too. |
 |
| Just imagine if they had ended it as well as the first 3/4 of the series, I'd probably rate it higher myself. Still... I liked this significantly more this time than the first time I watched it. For whatever reason, I really didn't like this series the first time. It's good, maybe the ending tainted the rest of it for me, the first time I saw it. I dunno. I'd love to see more of this anime, but it doesn't really appear they left that door open. |

| This anime needs a remake. |
| I ship @Cewkie and @DarkZeroCalibur  |
| akame x esdeath fight was great man! even tatsumi died. i kept on saying 'please don't die,please don't die' for every character for the entire series, but oh well...they killed every last one of them except akame. esdeath x tatsumi...my ship succeded but they died anyway. for a moment i thought that leone's fine but that's not how this works right! i enjoyed it any way! i've thought of another title for this show....'VALAR MORGHULIS'....lol |

Sourire said: Chelizzle said: the "plot" was killing off characters.. thats it.Is there a conclusion to the "plot"?.You know the revolution-this anime was promising to be about. totally agree with you. VALAR MORGHULIS |

Junchi said: That doesn't change the fact that she is still a two-legged fanservice-fest "boosted" with a painfully shallow character. bunny1ov3r said: Akame = real protagonist. Mein (=fake gf) dying. Esdeath x Tatsumi forever!! Harsh, but true. My only gripe with this is that I never understood Tatsumi x Akame, or in fact Akame's role in general. For a 'real protagonist' and title carrier her character was grossly underdevelopped. In fact, in Blood-C: The Last Dark,.. I feel somewhat misled to be made to believe Tatsumi x Akame was the OTP, yet nothing, absolutely nothing was done with it, except that she occassionally uses him as a box of Kleenex. Don't get me wrong, I didn't need a lovey dovey ending, smooching or whatever, but some actual emotional development here would have been nice. Also, I think Tatsumi dying would have been fitting, had he not survived miraculously after a major shounen asspull mere seconds before, only to throw it all away to counter a miniature colony drop. Saving a handfull of innocents out of thousands is still noble, even for an assassin; saving them at the expense of someone you really care about, who has allready lost everything, and whom you've promised to return to, testifies of a naïve twisted sense of justice, almost as bad as Seryu's. Finally, it was completely unfitting of the series theme of retribution and there being no such thing as righteous assassins as well. SH4kun said: IceBurn said: And how did you come up with this bullshit? Japanese popularity polls, merchandise and screen time compared to the other females. I can imagine, she's more or less the only consistent character, aside from 'Pokerface' Najenda. You know, that was odd too, not learning what exactly happened between those two. TheXskull said: Overall though, I rated 8. I was so hooked in the first 2/3 of the anime that it deserves that score. The anime was fun, animation is as good as it gets, and the setup was good. The ending leaves a bad taste in your mouth. This sums it up quite nicely. So, seconded: 8/10 |
