| Overall, satisfied with the Akame vs Esdeath fight, even though best girl dies, she dies with Tatsumi (whether he wanted that or not...). I was literally happy though because one of the characters I picked at the beginning was going to live!.... and then she proceeds to get shot multiple times.... and then dies in the streets?!?!? *sigh* Nonetheless, Akame continuing on as the badass assassin she is was cool, same with her using the trump card, nice twist at the end. Overall, give it a 7/10, but it was an 8/10 for me up until around episode 19. Last few episodes were not bad per se, but felt like they just started killing off people to kill them off. |

| One of the best anime fights ever made, sadly that its the only positive thing about the last episode. Leone's death was pretty stupid lmao, she could have avoided all the shots if she had taken the gun from Honest but no! -.- Finally, the Revolutionary Army and the 'revolution' is just a copypaste of the French Revolution in the end. Everyone knows the disaster that followed that revolution, so the Emperor's execution will not be the last bloodshed as the series claims. With the lack of gray area in this show, it is unrealistic that everything is fine after the revolution. I think that the Emperor was hardly at fault for his actions since he was just a kid listening to a manipulative man. The trainwreck since the first episode is over. Some people disliked the anime after it went heavy anime original but the problem is that the source is not good either. The bad guys except for the former guard from early episodes are just generic villains like the Irregular at Magic High School, maybe some of them are iconic like Esdeath but nothing more! A disaster! Important characters deaths are 90% dumb and bad written! The only exception is Bulat, I want to add that the series has a lot of shock value to the point that I was tired of it. Pacing over the place for 24 episodes while I liked characters interactions, Akame ga Kill! is trash. 2/10 for the anime. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| The direction this anime took sure was strange and probably controversial as well. Almost felt like a cop out, the last five or so episodes. I also find it strange that Akame isn't that relevant until the last few episodes as well, not the strongest "main" character you'll ever see. 8/10 until episode 19, 7/10 for the whole series. |
| This anime as a whole was amazing in my opinion, but those last two episodes really were a huge step down from the amazing start. |
| Look...I don't really watch Akame ga KILL! My wife decided to watch this garbage, and I occasionally glanced up from my computer to say: "why are you watching this garbage?" To which, she said: "this is good garbage..." And there you have it, that's why I'm here. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day! |
| Got into this anime expecting complete and utter trash, but watched it regardless because I wanted to give an honest rating. Was better than I initially expected, but just by a bit- a very slim margin. This is the epitome of standard popcorn anime, this is what you'd compare to your mindless cash grab summer blockbusters. It just be so MEH that it ALMOST hurts. That said, it wasn't bad enough to drop it halfway through, there were a few things that kept me wanting to finish it, and I guess that's a plus in their book. I wouldn't say it was a painful trudge to get through it all, but once it was over, it just disappeared from my mind just like that. Esdeath is bae and she make me hard triple s tier waifu marry me pls 4/10. Noobs will enjoy probably, pros might die |

| Well some survived ... I did not even believe some would lol It's over. Idk I liked the beginning more then the end. Next anime I am coming :D |
 |
| Despite how angry this anime made me and how much it made me cry.. It was one of the better animes I've seen recently. I wish the outcome could've been different but it wouldn't have felt the same then. 9/10 |
 |
| Knowing it was a filler ending, I'd say it did completely OK (nor bad nor good). Somethings were really dumb, but I'm glad it was quickly over after it diverted from the manga. |
| Finally a torture has ended. Thanks. |
| This show is one of the worst anime I've ever seen in terms of quality for sure (especially since I can point out so many stupid things about this show on a writing/character basis), but while I would give it a 1/10 on MAL, it's not quite overall the worst ever due to the fact that I wasn't too bored by it, which is at least better than the tons of anime I have at a 1/10 for being such a painful drag to watch while having terrible writing/characters to go along with it. Oh yeah, and regarding the finale, it sucked too. Abrupt Akame vs Esdeath fight happens out of nowhere after the death of Tatsumi, who like the rest of the cast who died before him, felt like a complete afterthought except the scene where Esdeath chose to die by Tatsumi's side by exploding them together in ice. Plus Leone dying like that at the very end felt incredibly stupid too and added absolutely nothing to the story or the emotional value of it whatsoever, although I rate the minister for actually having the brain to just unleash all of his bullets immediately on her instead of wasting time like a normal anime villain in situations like those. The payoff felt unsatisfying too without any interest left in it whatsoever. Really, this whole finale and whole show was garbagio. |
| The manga? Pft who cares |
 |
| I'm not sure whether to give this a 6 or a 7. Starting off, the first 3/4 of the anime were boring and unremarkable. It only really kicked off towards the end. The animation was GARBAGE. The only time I was impressed was in Mine's last fight scene against the mechanical girl with the freaky dog - that was some Attack on Titan level animation. Why couldn't they do the same with the rest of the anime? I feel like the revolution "story" was good, but really the last couple of episodes were just a compilation of character deaths. It's like the writer had a mission to kill off one character every episode. There were some beautifully sad moments (Bols' death) and some purely stupid moments (Mine's death just as she confessed her feelings). I think I'll give it a 6, I had to force myself to watch the first 15 - 17 episodes. The only thing that saved the show was the characters. |

There's tons of safe shows like tensura, go watch them. We're not going to see any shounen like this soon.

| Akame pulled the most ridiculous stunt outta her ass to finally slay Esdeath once and for all, who's the weak one now huh? You who relied too much on your freeze time ability! So let's see... Night Raid, the very force that spearheaded this entire revolution, let's see how they turn out shall we.
Out of everyone, only Mine got a proper burial, and out of everyone, only Najenda will see her name be written down in history since she is also a core member of the revolutionary army. The rest are all but forgotten as they should since they're a group of assassins, they're the unsung heroes known only by the few... Najenda will serve the last few years of her life and die properly as long as there're no assassinations, and Akame will live on to purge the remaining filth off the face of the empire for as long as she lives. What a shit show with the most fucktastic of event happening left and right. A literal trainwreck, nay, shipwreck! And yet as much as I hate to say this, this show has an exceptionally well-made ending. Literally, every single conceivable thing is shit, but at least they ended with a concrete ending. Still, you can dress up trash with a stainless steel, luxuriously made trash can but it's still trash in its core. But then again, it's pretty nice to watch. |

| I dont really understand all the rage for this anime lol. Everything was quite nice until the end. Trainwreck means the ending went down to shit but I thought it was pretty solid. Night Raid killed the emperor, his advisor and esdeath just like they planned, the empire is under Najenda's rule and all night raid died to achieve that which is basically what was planned since the beginning and was done in a pretty linear way, all of that was also done in the same manner as earlier episodes just more epic. A trainwreck is something like kabaneri of the iron fortress where stuff pops out in the last episodes which wasnt planned and just shit on pervious episodes. Some stuff are silly and I admit it but didn't ruin it for me: Akame's after image, Leone's unnecessary death, Run fighting Night Raid in the beginning for no real good reason. All can be somewhat excused so it wasnt that big of a deal. Everything else was pretty nice and satisfying. The advisor's death was nice. Episode 23 in particular was 10/10 in the animation department, even episode 24 didnt have that much budget. Tatsumi's death was meaningful and fitting and genuinely good. All other deaths were mainly fitting as well. Music was very well done, "Gekisen" was great in particular. The animation was well done as well, for a 24 episode show it did have consistent quality. Some really fun ideas that you don't see in other run-of-the-mil seinens. All in all it was a really fun re-watch I give it a very deserved 8/10 mainly for enjoyment even though I already knew all the spoilers. As I see, the undeserved rage and low mal score is mainly coming from manga readers which should learn the difference between manga and anime adaptation and viewers who didn't like that their favorite character died which is just silly. Since episode 5 you should've known that almost anyone could die at any moment but whatever. |
AlexanderHD said: the woman and child is the guy from the Jaegar’s who got killed by Chelsea, Wife and daughter. You saw them interact with each other earlier on in the seriesThe last image doesn't need any explanation. I'm very glad Wave, at the very least, and the embodiment of purity, made it to the end. I was shocked to see Run was a good guy -- but it was also kinda obvious when (in that one episode) he was seen walking down a main road with Esdeath and acting suspicious like he had ulterior moments. Also, can ewe agree that the red/white checker pattern is aesthetic af? Any who, those other three images also had me wondering. WHO exactly is that woman with the sandy hair, and the blonde child with the soup? I know that there are some manga characters that appeared as cameos in the anime but didn't really have any roles. Perhaps these two female characters had something more to do in the manga? And then the third image of the yellow, pink, and blue appearing children. My interpretation -- and I can almost guarantee I'm right -- is that it's a nod to Mine, whose goal in life was to end discrimination. I'm guessing having pink hair (and dressing in pink) implies you're a foreign and have a potential to receive prejudice. Interestingly, I guess people with blue hair (and blue clothes) or yellow hair (and yellow clothes) can also be foreigners, hehe. But yeah, I'm wondering about the first three images this person screencapped. Are they more prevalent in the manga? |
| Nothing but pain. |

| F!!! Well atleast Akame vs Esdeath was cool can't believe our main died not even in last ep but in ep 23 |
AnImE_nOoBiE8 said: According to mal tatsumi Character info. He is the main Character.. That's what it Say's... But ya the anime title contain Akame name......so..she is main too just in case i didn't saw tatsumi as a hero kinda guy and also he was the weakestHERO123456 said: the guy is not the main character it's akame lolF!!! Well atleast Akame vs Esdeath was cool can't believe our main died not even in last ep but in ep 23 |
| So as expected they left akame alive bc it's akame ga kill,the only good thing is the fight scenes were not as bad as the story The whole story plot is just like killing the characters, in the early episodes they given more priority to story and character developments but at last it changed to emotional drama I am fine with that,but they killed Leone in miserable way, Tatsumi body was gone,idk why they killed the emperor he is just a puppet and more than that he is still kid. There are so many animes with sad endings,but I think this one was bad,so they didn't exactly showed more about the revolutionary army and it's been 7 years still no update, so I think there is no 2 nd season |
| Okay, this was my first rewatch of the series in 4-5 years and, while I've come to sort of agree with a lot of complaints that the show gets, it's still a fine-good series for me. Episode 19 onwards was where the show sort of veered off into anime-original territory and it certainly wasn't the finest nor well crafted finish to the journey but I feel like it still tied up the story in a decent way. Leone's death is often looked down upon by critics and honestly, I don't really get it. She got her power stolen so it's only natural that she'd not be able to heal up. In fact, I'd argue what's amazing is the fact that she managed to stick around for that long after taking those bullets. As for the aspects I've come to agree, they include: - Akame's power up from the weapon, that was pretty inexplicable hoenstly and bothered me a bit too but I suppose there's just no way to handle Esdeath otherwise so I'll give it a hard pass. - Mine & Tatsumi literally taking hit after hit beyond comprehension only for the sake of the plot. Fair enough. - Edginess factor. Not the actual blood part, but more so relating to how the show handles the deaths. Somehow, the show tries to downplay this obviously but it often rubbed me off the wrong way. On the other hand, I think there were a lot more aspects of the show to admire. Soundtrack for one was a standout for me. I sort of felt like they may have overplayed the main theme a little bit but well. Listening to Op 2 after a long time was a nice treat for the ears too. Action scenes were crisp and the fast pace of the show sort of had a momentum to keep things intense. Also, I like how some of the villains characterisation was handled. There's not really a wrong or right side and both have good and bad deeds, I really felt that from the show. All in all, it's no denying that it obviously wasn't as good as I remember it to be but then again, I think a generous 7/10 is fitting for me. Mind you, I'm not the biggest action fan. But for a premise like this, it's almost hard to pass. And I kind of got what I wanted from the show so I'll take it. |
