Story - (7/10)
The story is very simple, tyranny rules a country and the people are oppressed so a revolution seeks to other throw them, a story that has been done many times but even a simple story done well can still make it unique and Akame Ga Kill manages to add a little more to the formula and that is due to the characters. Sadly though, it was rushed to the restrictions of 24 episodes and the fact that the manga is still going so changes had to be made to have an ending within 24 episodes which do weaken the anime a bit but with what they added still manages to leave you somewhat satisfied.
Art - (8/10)
Like most action anime the animation is fast paced and energetic and doesn't do anything too over the top. The character designs, while simple still managed to have a somewhat distinct design and the transitions of emotions, specifically the villains were done really well when showing their personality visually and that was something I really liked.
Sound - (6/10)
The sound and music were pretty much very generic and nothing too memorable, it sounded good but it could have been done in any other anime.
The seiyu's were also good but nothing too memorable, a very safe choice to me.
Character - (10/10)
This is one of my main reasons why I really liked this anime, the characters were so interesting and engaging that they were so likeable. My favourite is Tatsumi and while he looks pretty simple, he had really great development. In the first episode he actually was already able to handle himself and was quite strong and despite not having a teigu he is still able to fight on near equal footing, what I liked was while he was strong, he wasn't too strong as they shown he had lots of room for improvement and each episode you see him get stronger both physically and as a character, he breaks most traditions of a main character and doesn't fall into the typical good guy category. the other characters like Akame, Bulat, Mine, etc are all very interesting and most have some really good backstories and get as much screen time to display their skills.
Enjoyment - (9/10)
This was a fun anime for me and left me wanting more after each episode, the story is simple but the characters make it interesting and you can get easily invested with what happens.
Overall - (8/10)
I would recommend this for anyone who likes battle anime where the action is intense and really engaging and character driven. While it is rushed, there are still the moments that matter a lot and doesn't feel too dragged or unnecessary, each episode had a purpose and did really well with each one.
