Lawbolisted Powerful
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
hawk_moondance I love this one because it thoroughly explores the concept of both sides fighting for what they think is right in a war. Also, it explores strength, loss, and responsibility for your actions. As an anime, it's gorgeous. All the feels. Of course, these are no ordinary humans. They each possess a legendary weapon that grants them extraordinary skills. As a gamer, I appreciated the way each bonded with their individual skills and excelled at what they had to offer.
lollol-49025 After having watched pretty much every single anime out there from one peice to hunter x hunter to death note to attack on titan i can with confidence say it is one of the best animes i have watched. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA in 3 days i watched the anime twice and read the manga which sounds impossible but believe me i did it. this should give you an idea to how great this anime is BUT IT HAS ONE NEGATIVE and that is that every single character pretty much dies and it is hard to come to terms with.
Luxurious Akame ga Kill is basically about a boy from a small village, Tatsumi, wanting to work for the capital in order to send money back to his village. His dreams are crushed when he realizes that the empire is corrupt and the rich killed his best friends. He joins up with Night Raid, a revolutionary army of assassins designed to fight against the empire, in hopes to getting rid of that corruption.The GoodNothing really new about the plot itself, just a corrupt government and the people rebelling. A new idea was the imperial arms that the empire, about a 1000 years ago, created so his empire will prosper. The anime itself had great animation and art style. The well drawn characters and background and the fluid movement all make this a beautiful anime. Even the beautiful imagery present throughout this anime was beautiful and excellent. The music was very good and really shaped the mood at times.The BadI felt like the art and music was wasted on this anime. Even the idea of the imperial arms could have been moved to a better anime. My, where to start...Pacing: this is a basic story, but they manage to screw it up. Each episode felt like filler with fight scenes. I didn't even feel bad about the characters because they would kill them as soon as we got to know them.Characters: they were horrible stereotypes. You have the average protagonist guy, the cold assassin, the tsundere, the leader, the best breasted wild girl, the wild older bro type, the clumsy girl with glasses, and the perverted comedic guy. At least, I think the guy with the green hair was supposed to be the funny stereotype, they didn't flesh him out enough. Let that sink in. They didn't flesh out a character enough for him to be a STEREOTYPE. I also didn't like Esdeath because of her weird crush on Tatsumi. It would have been interesting if she had a crush on Bulat or even Najenda to create something interesting. Nope, it has to be the main character (because we all know this is a self-insert). Seryu had this weird twisted obsession with justice while killing people for stealing a few items. Chelsea was also a horrible person because she picked on Mine for NO reason, it wasn't even logical.Tone/Genre: This anime doesn't know what it wants to be. Does it want to be a dark fantasy? A comedy and action anime? A romantic comedy? A harem? Pick a genre and stick to it! Tatsumi's friends died and seconds later we have slapstick of him joining Night Raid. Each time a character dies, we have a light hearted scene playing right after. Even after Tatsumi died at the end, characters were talking about him coming back, like the writers wanted to have some sick ironic joke. Everything, except the art and music, sucked. I almost rated it lower because of the art and music being wasted on this crap.
arturodv1996 Akame Ga Kill is over, but was it a fun ride? If you wanna know, read to find out! Well, Akame Ga Kill is a show that was pretty epic! The story was good, the action scenes were superb, the characters were interesting, the art style was beautiful and colorful, and the music was catchy.The whole plot might not be original but it still works - especially the part where the assassins help the revolutionary force overthrow the empire.This show is like Game of Thrones - you can't get too attached to a particular character. It was disappointing to see certain ones get taken off the chessboard. However, it was still enjoyable, even though my favorite characters weren't around anymore at the very end.My Final Thoughts: One issue I had with this show was that I wish they would have followed the mangas. They could have at least waited until the creator was done with the story. But still, the ending was satisfying. I miss all the characters and the ending left me wanting more epicness. So all in all, it was a great show.
