Outline of the story:
Spoiler:
Akame ga Kiru! manga follows by Tatsumi, a fighter who sets off to the Capital in search of a way to make money to assist his poverty-stricken village in order to discover the deep corruption. He is taken in by a noble aristocratic girl by the name of Aria and recruited by Night Raid, a group of assassins who aim to eliminate corruption by mercilessly killing those responsible for it.


Opinions:
I think I'm gonna watch this. I liked the manga, the story line, I just don't like the fact that it comes out monthly. I'm gonna update as soon as I can once the VA has been announced, or the PV is up, or any update is available.

The manga is good and I follow it, I just hope the adaptation will include all the gory-brutal-crazy awesome elements of the story.

Please give more screen time to Seryuu. :3

Feels EVERYWHERE! Even the most ruthless antagonists are very likeable. This is the only comedy/action manga I've read where plot armor doesn't exist for ANY character (except for the main hero and heroine).

Which means when you know someone is gonna die, but you don't know who, you'll find yourself tearing your soul because you DON'T want anyone to die, even the antagonists!

Esdese would like to have a word with you.

That's the only part of the manga that I don't like - the main villain being so stupidly strong anyone else is a bug in comparison.

PV teaser came out a few weeks ago, though I was unaware of it. The video got me curious. So I decided to check on the synopsis and the reviews and received majorly positive reviews. I might pick up on the manga someday, definitely before the anime starts airing.

Oh man...I am truly looking forward to this :D
As long all the gore, killing, and the brutal slayings remains, I'll watch it.

I'll probably end up enjoying this one as much as the manga regardless of what level of maturity they choose to run with, though to be honest I could live with less rape scenes in the anime adaptation. Made me sick to my stomach.

I actually got more feels from the next chapter after that. I stopped reading and sulked for 30 minutes.

Look at it this way: at least the cast (and us viewers) will have even more reasons to bash Wild Hunt to death, as it should be.

Still, I'm re-reading this, please let the anime be something worth watching and not just a shoddy way to advertise the manga.

I'm waaaaiting for this *^* Been waiting for months!!

It's a damn interesting manga at least. Weirdly enough I find Zero more attractive than the original but heck, either one's fine!

Spoiler:
I was actually thinking about excessive actions and it's place in Akame ga Kiru!, it's purpose is to elicit strong emotions from the reader and increase immersion (which they did brutally in some places) but that encourages thoughtlessness which makes readers overlook flaws and overuse can make the action pointless in itself. If there was one issue I have with Akame ga Kiru! it's that it has a tendency to fall back on lots of poorly fleshed-out expendable characters as a warm up to every big fight, I had the Wild Hunt pegged down for death the instant I saw them and a majority of them got little characterization.

I'm on what must be a five-loss streak in predictions this season, but I want to say that they would have to try to make this bad.

Officer Kaimax there's a dangerous person here! Tell him he has good taste.

Probably because Zero moves much quicker than the other, there's the foreboding feeling of death around every corner more prevalent than the main series and it promises to give much needed back story to Akame and Kurome.

next chapter after that


Spoiler:
STOP. STOP. I just reread that part, saw Chelsea's face in the rain again and just started screaming. The irony of Chelsea's kindness killing her and Bor was so good though.

Spoiler:
I did a non-stop read from noon to midnight, afterwards I just sat there staring at my monitor thinking about Mine's deathflag when Esdeath finds out (she might be cool with it?) and about how much I just wanted to STOP reading this manga.


Just remember to cut out the parts only pertaining to you if you quote, don't want to take up too much room.

You think:

Spoiler:
Bors' death was sad? Read what happens to his wife and child. He was lucky he died early, and in a way with 'honor' too.

I already said I caught up, marathoned it two days ago.

Spoiler:
I was furious over what happened with Bor's family. The fruits of his labor wasted. Yeah I wouldn't call the way Bor died honorable but I really like his character because it seemed like he truly understood the weight of his actions but came to terms with it and decided that time was better spent in happiness. I wouldn't call the way he died lucky or honorable, crawling on all fours while crying for your life isn't how I'd want to go.


Well what did you think was better?
1
Spoiler:
Bor's death and his family death themselves are completely awful, there's no 'this death is better'

Spoiler:

Bor
before death was yes, crying and trying to get back to his family. Not honorable, but probably more humane as in it wasn't all that awful compared to what happened to his loved ones.


Spoiler:
Bor's family
Being raped, tortured, and toyed with before being killed. Hmm...That's just...awful, just sucks.


But can't wait for the anime!

Well. He got killed by:

Spoiler:
Chelsea. It was a relatively painless death too. It's sad, yeah, but he has the best death in the manga by far, as compared to anyone at all.

Read Zero, not really impressed with it though. Probably because the deaths lacks tension and build up.

When compared to chapter 33 in the main series, we pretty much know what would happened 2 chapters before that, but we had tension and proper build up.

But after seeing the last page of chapter 6 of Zero I'm actually depressed again...

Why don't you ask Chelsea for tips on taking a load off your shoulders?

Spoiler:
Yeah Ch.23 pretty much spilled the beans on what's going to happen to Chelsea's current bunch anyhow, so it's more a question of how things are going to go down. I'm more interested in Kurome's doomed relationship with Natala more than Akame right now.

Spoiler:
As I said before I love the irony of how Chelsea claimed softness to be weakness, then Bor dies for being soft and finally Chelsea pays for her own softness for using a technique that's only just enough to be fatal. I want to see what they'll do to Mine, Wave and Kurome because those three have been waving flags ever since they went sweet on someone.


Manga got updated. Uh oh.
