Akame Ga Kill, This show is one of those shows where it does so many things good but also so many things poorly so they kind of cancel each other out and leave the show in the middle.
Pros.
1. The characters are all very interesting and the show did pretty good at showing a lot of their backstories leading you to grow a connection at least a slight one
2. This show is not afraid to kill off characters including main ones and I like that because I hate that trait of invincible Main/Side characters
3. The Relics themselves are very cool and pretty unique especially when your able to see a lot of their special moves and hidden techniques. And when Tatsumi acquires Incursio and also evolves it at the end are 2 very cool scenes especially when he acquires it.
4. The story is simple yet gripping there's not a lot of moving parts and not a lot to confuse the story is simple and the plot is straight forward all while still being able to keep your attention and keep you caring about the story and the outcome.
5. Id say half of the deaths were good like Mine's and Bulat's and Lubbock's they were in my opinion well timed or well played out some even made me tear up a little bit showing how well they got you connected to some of the characters so bravo on that
6. And finally id say half of the battles were good and well played out with good choreography that was stretched out to a reasonable amount of time
Cons.
1. This one is kind of simple and petty but the music in this show especially the 2 OP's were just boring there was nothing good about the music in this show (But that is very opinion based)
2. It takes a little while for the show to really kick off it is a bit of a slow start in my opinion
3. The other half of the battle scenes weren't good they either ended stupidly or were like a minute long so they just weren't that good and the fight scenes in the beginning of the show (Like first 4 or 5 episodes) were very boring and one sided
4. The other half of the deaths were awful Sheele and Chelsea both died way to early for you to really grow a connection to the character so their deaths had no significant emotional impact. Esdeath didn't go out in the bang that i thought she would especially with her being this undefeatable fighting master with demon blood. Leones death might be one of the most boring and bullshit deaths she has her relic broken by a relic that was unknown until last second (Because why not) and then shot like 9 times and still manages to kill the dude and walk around for hours and then just dies in an alley way alone. And Tatsumi's death has to be one of the dumbest deaths in anime history it felt like they forgot to kill him off so they found the quickest way to like this dude has fought the most powerful enemies in the capital and he dies saving like 20 civilians its just so stupid and so unneeded. This show when it had good deaths they were good but when it had bad deaths they were just downright awful.
Over all I'm very mixed about this show because like I said there's a decent amount that they do good but there's just as much that they do very poorly. I cant say I recommend it but I also cant say I don't recommend it, it is honestly up to you if you want to watch it or not just don't go in with super high expectations because you will most likely be disappointed.
