As the pace of the episode has been dosed and well adapted to the frames of the manga, it is evident that the author runs too with the story at certain points, focusing all the fighting. Do not want to compare but if it were a formula style One Piece, with only one episode or more into the past of the characters, the impact on future events would be even greater. The anime is still a great adaptation, however, hope that the drama is inserted correctly in the next two chapters.

Looks like they're picking up the pace now since this episode essentially covered 3 chapters...I don't mind it because this pretty much gives me hope that the anime will end on the chapter that I want it to end on

Regardless they skipped about 3 scenes....But one of them was kind of included in last week's episode of AgK Theatre...Hopefully the other two can get included somehow later

Sora Amamiya did an amazing job during Akame's emotional scene....Now everyone knows that Akame does have emotions...That scene was very powerful and I too felt pretty sad

The Three Beasts sounds amazing but I expected that considering who their VA's are....River's/Liver's VA is the guy that voiced Alucard in Hellsing and Kotomine Kirei in the Fate Series...The scene where they massacred that political guy and his daughter was brutal

Braht is just perfect and amazing and is just way too cool....Seeing him be the badass that he truly is was so worth it...And dat hype..."128 Man Slayer Braht"

Next episode is when the battle gets really epic and I can't wait to see it animated ^^



Also, my Esudesu-sama~ Why are you so kawaii >//< I'll be your mate :''D


I definitely liked this episode's pacing. xD I definitely want the scene with Bulat to appear as flash back...it's better than nothing. :P

Even though I already knew what's happening next, this episode managed to kept me in suspense. The scene with Akame and Tatsumi was really well done... I immersed myself too much in Tatsumi's character that I totally forgot about Akame's feeling...。:゚(。ノω\。)゚・。 Fortunately, that gave me another moment of "surprise". Haha.

So much suffering for Tatsumi...(not much as Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul though, lol)

I'm definitely looking forward for the battle next week!
Especially...Incursio's....

Buuut, if everyone survived, it wouldn't look realistic and eventually we would get bored of OP characters. this is why i like this show, because people die (i know it sounds weird...), this is more fun (i'm not a psycho, don't get me wrong).

The only thing that really bothers me is the first episode. Basically the whole team went to kill that sadistic family and now when they're facing villains that are truly strong they only send two? doesn't make sense

There are two possible targets, so they split into two teams: Akame with Lubbock and Bulat with Tatsumi. Mine is injured while Leone is busy stalking Esdeath. I don't know what Najenda is doing though.

Bulat got a death flag :7

I like how when the antagonists use the same tactics as Night Raid (assasination of political officals) they are immediately considered super evil by the whole cast, they don't realise they are doing the exactly same thing ^.^.

it is not that i am against deaths but you can kill characters without it being predictable and so early so we can actually get attached to characters so the deaths have an impact on the viewer and aren't just for shock value.

I love the episode, despite being fast paced as hell.

I wonder why Esdeath loves to fall in love as soon as possible O__O

Damn Leon couldn't even touched Esdeath, knowing she is a dangerous person.

I don't know why Tatsumi assumed Akame was cool even though in her heart, she's hurting as hell.

Your really dense and fucking stupid you know that? That's why you still need a lot of experience before trying to assume things.

The Three Beasts looks strong as hell, it seems that Nyau kid really scrapped that girl's face to pieces. DAMN!

Shame they censored it.

Bulat is fucking amazing!! He killed Daidara in one hit!

I knew that guy was Bulat's former boss since they have the same voice the moment they went to flashback :P

I can't wait for the next episode!!!

I don't read the manga but these kinds of shows, flashbacks and a big focus on one character usually sets up a death flag. So.. how will Bulat die? Tune in next week! Or maybe the week after.

Regardless, hopefully he takes down the other two before dying.

So I just reread some chapters and they really did leave out some important parts.

Read at your own risk, these scenes may appear later on:


I get that they were rushing this episode, but it still annoys me to see things like this get omitted. Next episode I don't think there will be any way for other scenes to be included except for the fight because it's so long and it has a lot of detail on some things. This actually makes me mad because


I'll just give them the benefit of the doubt that they just wanted to rush this episode for the sake of time, but they definitely left out some vital scenes and they may be placed in the anime later on like the intruder sequence, so that actually gives me hope. But where they were placed in the manga just made a lot of sense and putting them in later on might be awkward positioning, but they may be able to pull it off.

I'm really surprised that an anime this good is only 8.19. This should be rated at least 8.5. It is easily the best anime in 2014, and it keeps getting better and better

I wouldn't be too worried about the score. 8.19 and being within the top 300 is great for now. But the real test is when the series ends and the other 40,000 people put in their scores.

Nope, 8.5 is too high, the only episode i did really enjoyed from the beginning of this series is episode 6. That's it, I also heard that the first arc's adaptation is poor.
8.19 - 8.3 is ok, I gave it 7/10, though.

Solid episode. A bit more rushed than the previous ones, but they were able to cut stuff out without taking away anything from the show, or altering it to the point where it's a butchered piece of shit (cough cough Tokyo Ghoul).

Ugh well next weeks episode:

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Sorry to jump in here, but both sides are technically evil. Using killing as a means to get somewhere is an evil act. It is all how history, and the winners tell the story. In this show the protagonists Night Raid, are breaking all the laws in place, and killing government officials (while getting paid to) to bring on a revolution. If they lose this battle they would be known as the "evil people". Although we know they don't.

While the gov't is the antagonists, history will write down their terrible deeds and make sure they are known as villainous people. It is the one thing the show can do great and fail at during the same time.

Also for the record, using the RPG nine alignment system, from what I have seen so far there is only one character that really is in the good alignment, which is Tatsumi, the rest have not been really fleshed out to make a proper idea on what they are on the night raid. Although Bulat might fall closer to lawful good, with his nature shown in this episode, and previous snippets.

While for the gov't the three we have seen so far who are alive fall like this.
Prime Minister: Lawful evil
King: Lawful Neutral
Justice: Lawful stupid

How they are viewed by the empire is irrelevant, what matters is how they are presented to the expectator watching the anime, and what the anime has portrayed so far, is that Night Raid are fighting for justice and for good.
They are not morally ambiguous.

Exactly, compared to most other adaptations this one is pretty damn close to the source material, unexpectedly so. Having read the manga prior to the first episode I really, really thought this show was going to be a disaster because I knew they would cut things out and censor like crazy. I was so pleasantly surprised, unlike Tokyo Ghoul. What Studio Pierrot has done with that adaptation is pathetic.

Yeah, but it turns out that Esdeath's subordinates are framing Night Raid. What a bunch of jerks, I hope they are all killed by Night Raid---- OH WAIT!
It looks like Bulat and Tatsumi encountered them on a boat....and Bulat took down one of the stronger looking members in one, down-the-middle, slice. xD So cool! D:

What's gonna happen next? owo More killing? Possible. Flashback scenes of Bulat and his General? Maybe....

People are bitching because the manga readers are giving away too much without using the tags.

Throughout this entire show the manga readers have been either hinting too much or blatantly spoiling things. I don't see why people shouldn't be upset about that.
