LIGHT SPOILERS:
Akame ga Kill, praised for having balls to kill off characters and gore, etc, is overrated.
Do you mourn and grieve the death of everyone who gets killed in the news? No, because you don't have much attachment to them. I felt like I was watching the news whenever a character dies, like meh, I feel bad but nothing I can do about it... wtf? I want to be off the rails, I wanna be infuriated against a fictional character. Esdeath is sending me very mixed signals and I honestly don't remember the rest of the villains.
You have a corrupt government rivaling an entire revolutionary army, and we only get to see the Night Raid squad, and Esdeaths crew... WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS? Aren't there higher ranks than Esdeaths crew and the Night Raid? You have these really cool weapons, but not much exploring into them. This series fails to capitalize and expand on so many fronts that I don't understand why its held in high regard.
