I'm gonna be really blunt. This is one hell of trash. TRASH.
“It’s because I loved her the most that I wanted to kill her as swiftly as possible.” -Akame
Story
The story starts with a young man who wants to make it big in the city/capital only to find out that the capital is a one big hell of corruption. Well, we can all relate to that, aren’t we? LOL. Kidding aside, the story is very straight forward. I quite find it unique to be honest. And the premise seems good doesn’t it? Well, yes. The premise is a pretty good setup. But they didn’t give justice to this. JUSTICE!
This might be one hell of an anime. Like really! They kill characters off so frequently without even giving them enough development. They did some 3 way steps in each character; 1. Giving them some little screen time 2. Giving them some backstory and flashbacks. 3. Then BOOM! Sending them into battle and die pathetically.
Art & Animation
Might say as well, the killing is great! With blood and gore scene! They didn’t sensor the deaths and that deserves some credit!
Sound
There were very few tracks that will get a hold of you. Other noticeable sound effects being the attention to detail placed during fighting and such but it's nothing you haven’t heard countless of times before.
Enjoyment
Honestly speaking, there were moments of boredom while watching it. I watched it like, 2 or 3 episode in a day. Cuz I really really I mean really find it too boring. There’s nothing special to keep you entertained, well except maybe the uncensored killing and the cute obsessions of Esdeath towards Tatsumi. (My opinion only!)
Characters
I will only give reviews to the characters who're important or made impact at least in my own opinion.
Akame - She's the super OP female protagonist. Like hell, everyone should die except Akame. That's AGK for you.
Tatsumi - the confused male protagonist in the series, i don't remember much of him I think he never give me something to remember. Oh yeah, he did give me one. That HE'S SUPER ANNOYING. And super weak. He's like a damsel in distress always waiting to be saved.
Mine - Yeah, yeah, your typical Tsundere. I find her character super annoying. And I can't believe she was the one Tatsumi chose to marry in the future! (in the manga) Apparently she's dead in the anime, which i think a good thing. LOL
Esdeath - Ohhh, my Yandere, I love her. I love her so so so much I wanted her to be alive at least in this freakin anime but sadly... Anyways, her obsessions for Tatsumi was the only one that kept me watching. She's cute and super OP too. Though, her being op is not a bad thing since she's the general who killed thousands of soldiers in the past. She was exposed to such nature at a young age. In their tribe, it's kill or be killed. Although, I'm so confused sometimes still, she's cute so that's fine. I'M BEING BIAS on this! I'm sorry!
Seryuu - Don't even get me started. She was one hell of a bitch. Like her mind was super twisted and the justice she spoke of was a complete BULL! Don't even try to sympathize on her death, she FREAKIN DESERVES IT! I hated her to death. Like she annoyed me to the 100th level. Whenever she spoke of this effin "justice".
Overall (3/10)
The premise is quite simple; To put an end to the corrupted capitol. Action with little harem and jokes that was quite funny at the very least, it isn't bad at all. There’s a lot of casualty in this one! The mass amount of killing was meant for giving the watcher those tension feels but naaah! It’s so frustrating watching them die. I’m being harsh on this review and I don’t like being harsh when it comes to giving anime reviews, but that is what it is. (SPOILER) The only death that was unpredictable was in the final episode and that didn't happened in the manga. I mean I scored 7/10 for manga. The anime on the other hand had terrible execution of story, horrible written characters, poorly adapted (For manga readers) And the ending is a one big MESS it’s awful!!
There is a lot of CRAZY characters too with twisted personalities and crazy view when it comes to justice! (Heck! I think you know who I meant) They were shallow minded and a little one sided. Although, there’s one character who stands out the most for me. My favorite charter, Esdeath!
PS. This review is about the ANIME. The anime only. Please don't hate me too much on this.
