Akame ga Kill Complete Collection Blu-ray

When KILL la KILL hit the scene, I was kinda skeptical at first; so until it was done I looked into Akame ga Kill. Little did I know this was secretly a Sci-Fi Fantasy anime written by someone who kills off characters more often then Mr. Tomino. It's mostly about a team of Assassins with special weapons trying to topple a corrupt government. Every one of the fights are a marvel of animation, despite this being made in 2015; they hold back on using CG most of the time. I won't spoil very much, but it gets even better in the last 6 episodes. I was super pumped nearing the final episodes, just waiting for the next moment they do something more awesome then the last. It might not be for everyone, but it sure is fun to watch. I'd recommend watching the first 10 episodes before you buy the whole series, both Japanese and English casts are pretty good.

Most of the anime I enjoy tends to be produced by Funimation, but I stumbled across this little gem from Sentai Filmworks (the same folks who also publish the Fate series) and fell in love with this anime. Akame Ga Kill is based off of a manga by the same name and follows a thought-provoking narrative. It's not without its cliches (sprinkles of fanservice for example), but each main character and even some of the villains get fleshed out rather well. Warning though: this show is a tear-jerker. And that's part of its charm, in my opinion. This show will get you to connect with the characters that will unfortunately not make it to the final episode. This show makes death have meaning and that's to be appreciated. Add in its interesting political commentary and this an all-around joy to own and watch.

Maybe I should have checked out the manga before watching the anime, but I was disappointed in the story.
There is some fan service, but the tone is dark and depressing.
The story focuses on Tatsumi who joins a band of rebels trying to overthrow the corrupt government. He makes friends, kills enemies and does his best to protect the people of the city. The title confused me because it seemed like Tatsumi's story took up 70% of the series, while Akame's part took up the rest.
I understand that war is not fair, but I was expecting a happier ending. For every bad guy struck down, a hero would also fall. You keep wondering who will survive at the end.
The animation is fantastic and if you can get past the dark storyline, you might enjoy it.

A great series about a group of assassins in the midst of revolution with a tyrannical monarchy. With special weapons called imperial arms, the action is fast-paced and intense. However, try as hard as you like to not become attached to any of the characters because as soon as you do... BAM! DEAD! Yet, despite all the "No, not another one," moments I still wanted to watch it all the way through. The series had an amazing crest and climax as the series neared its end. A highly recommend watch.

Akame ga kill is my favorite anime to watch. It may not be the “best” anime but from an entertainment aspect it is my favorite. There is no lack of action, no lack of good characters, no lack in good story. It’s perfect. Animation is beautiful and the action sequences are so smooth and cool. You can’t find a character that is weak out of the entire show, and the OPs are some of the coolest. The realism you get is impressive, and as such a small rebellion going up against a large kingdom you will see people, people you love, die and the reality that loving someone doesn’t save anyone, being a hero doesn’t mean being invincible, and just because two forces are fighting doesn’t mean everyone on one side is good and everyone on the other side is bad. This one keeps you on your toes the entire time and you will never see what’s coming next. Every expectation you have will get turned on it’s head.

This is a story in the same vein as gundam or code gease so go in with those expectations. It has comparable levels of political intrigue centering around a powerful nation that has become corrupted to the point of inciting a rebellion.

Enter Tatsumi, a completely oblivious county bumpkin who just wants to make it big in the city (Wave is that you?). His aimless wandering around leads to his fateful encounter with an assassination group know as Night Raid. Night Raid has tasked themselves with removing the corruption in the capital but where does Tatsumi who wants to find success in the capital fit in.
