A perfectly well told story. Each episode is shocking, with spectacular battles, stories with which everyone connects. All the characters are unique, interesting and with well-defined personalities.
Right away, it is lost that it is not an anime for children, with a heavy theme about necessary murders and political idealization, weapons with magical powers appear but very well contextualized without losing their meaning. Throughout the anime we follow the growth of the main character and his companions, strong motives, terrifying scenes of the human capacity to do evil, and everything is completed in an unusual end. Whatever you think you know or guess about the ending, forget it and wait.
Feeling bored of so many bad movies i should watch some adventure packed action series. And i found Akame Ga Kill. Reading synopsis and waching the trailers i was nearly going to skip it but it was day off and i was pretty bored. So i decided to give it a try, and heck i was surprised. It was full of wonderful actions, adventure and also romance. I was awe strucked in a total positive way. People shouldn't miss that master piece and for action adventure fans it'll be a sin not to give it a try. This story starts with a teen boy named tatsumi and as his adventure proceeds forward he met a group of weirdos (assassins). A bunch of girls eventually fall for his cuteness. OMG! I'm not gonna give spoiler rather I'll suggest everyone to make time watch the full series in one breath. I swear it's worth it.
I heard about Akame ga Kill! in an anime in 2014 review. Labeled "the edgiest anime ever", the show had my curiosity.
The show is extremely dark and sad while having comedic moments and lighthearted fun. These themes aren't exactly well balanced and some may have trouble taking the who serious after it turns from extremely light to extreme dark. This is really the show's only major flaw.
The best feature of Akame ga Kill! has to be the characters. A wide variety of characters is presented. Each character, protagonist or antagonist, is giving a healthy amount of development and each is easily enjoyable. No antagonist is "too evil" and mostly of them are in the moral grey area. Most characters are given special powers. There is a decent amount of balance in powers, but some are weak while others could be considered overpowered.
The action sequences are masterfully done and simply beautiful and progressively get better as the show goes on. Romance is mildly touched on, but certainly not a major theme. The plot and the setting is great. The setting matches the plot and characters well. The pace of the show speeds up as the show progresses which some might welcome while others might not.
The show's imbalance might not agree with some, but the show is certainly worth the view. Prepare for dark and violent themes, extremely sad times, and a good helping of your typical comedic anime moments.
