Both are gory and dark anime where nobody is safe. In both are young main character joins a gang of mercenaries/assassins that fight against the corrupt elites.
A lot of parallels between the two from the plot to the individual characters
Akame is more of your typical fantasy and Edgerunners is cyberpunk
The universe is not the same but storywise... it really remind me of akame ga kill.
An innocent main character gets involved with an infamous group by a beautiful girl...
Both worth watching!! Amazing

In my opinion Edge Runners is a modern version of Akame Ga Kill because the characters have similar development (if you know what I mean) and the plot is kinda similar as well. I kinda noticed that there are similarities in some weapons as well as if it was inspired by Akame Ga Kill (not sure since idk any Cyberpunk related stuff) and yeah, if you watched both series you'll probably know what I mean.
After the 2nd episode I noticed that the show was on the same path as akame ga kill. I'm so glad it went way beyond that.
When I watched Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, I was heavily reminded of Akame ga Kill!. Both anime involve the MC getting thrown into a dark and brutal world. However, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is darker and more violent than Akame ga Kill!, which while still being violent, has more humor. That, and Akame ga Kill! is longer at 24 episodes. If you liked one, check out the other!

You're gonna love every Character, and the Story itself is very simmilar.
Trust me on this :) It's worth your time.
Basically if you didn't like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners solely because of the Cyberpunk 2077 setting, you'll probably like Akame ga Kill! The way the characters and plot progresses are very similar between the two shows. Cyberpunk is definitely more condensed in a shorter series, but both shows definitely settle things similarly...and really you don't notice the true similarity until the very last episode of Cyberpunk. Let's just say that the female MCs' from both shows end up in a similar position by the end. So do the male MCs' I guess.
They both have the same feel and do not hold back on the gore. I would say the only difference is the era they were both set in. You will enjoy watching both.
Ambos tienen grupos antisistema que enfrentan a situaciones mas grandes que ellos mismos.
Personajes femeninos de alto desarrollo y carisma.
Both has anti system groups againts bigger situations than themselfs.
Female characters with high developemnt and charisma.

Even though Akame ga Kill and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are presented very different settings, they are similar stories in some aspects, and remind me of each other a lot. Two cruel shows with interesting casts and high-stake action scenes that have you on the edge of your seat while watching. If you liked the distinct feeling these shows have by watching one of them, you may like the other aswell!
If you have read the plot synopsis of both, or at least watched one of these to completion, you basically have seen the other. The main difference is that Akame Ga Kill is a full 20+ episode show where Edgerunners is about half that around 12 episodes. You can watch either one and get the same feelings and sort of pyrrhic victory feeling. The endings are so similar, and that might not really be a detriment depending how you like these shows.
Almost same story, MC joins a group who has been fighting against corrupt system/elites for a long time. While fighting alongside them, he develops character, and sets boundaries as he loses his friends in battles, etc.

If you like this type of anime where some adult themes are touched upon in practically every episode then I think Akame ga Kill is for you. Death, blood, violence, sex, love or hate are the very things you are sure to encounter while watching this anime. It is worth noting, however, that the two productions differ slightly in climate. Akame ga Kill draws lightly on medieval realities, although there are indeed firearms present, most of the time white weapons dominate the screen. Which projects the atmosphere of the entire show. Both anime have, in my opinion, a similar sad ending, so if you're a
