Akame ga Kill is about Tatsumi, he went to the Capitol in order to raise funds for his village. It is quickly established that Tatsumi is a good fighter with decent sword skills. However, due to a certain event, Tatsumi is in a life or death situation. However, Tatsumi is saved by Nigh Raid (A group of Assassins). Tatsumi realize that the Capital is full of corruption and decides to join Night Raid. Night Raid’s goal is to end corruption in the Capitol. Each Member of Night Raid is an owner of an Imperial Arm, weapons that were created from endangered beast hundreds of years ago. They are so powerful that if two people are fighting each other with an Imperial Arm, one is probably going to die. If you would like more you, can either watch it or read it here.
First and foremost I have to say that Akame ga Kill! is to be one of the best animes of 2014. The story is interesting because Night Raid is seen as the "bad guys", the criminals, the antagonist. But in reality, the whole Capital is full of corruption making Night Raid the "good guys". Akame ga Kill had a little of everything from gore, love, fantasy, super natural, memorable characters, etc. The anime itself had emotional break points as some of the members of Night Raid were killed. I really enjoyed the fighting scenes between Night Raid and the Jaegars because both sides are fighting for "Justice".
Pros
- Great Story
- Memorable Characters
- Fighting Scenes
- Gory
Cons
- Forgetting who the main character is (This will make sense once you watch it all)
