Akame ga Kill!

Jan 26, 2019

short review:

a horrible show with undeveloped characters you’d definitely enjoy watching!

The Review:

you know!, if it was my first time watching anime i would probably like this anime a lot but this anime is filled with so much cliché anime shit that didn’t allow the audience who have seen at least three animes to enjoy it

it has the typical SUPER beta main character and other cliche characters as well, of course there should be a perverted guy with green hair who likes to watch women naked and of course there should be women who bath in river naked to give this opportunity to the green hair pervert! you see, this type of crap is unoriginal.

i’ll say this though, this anime is not painful to watch.

besides all this, the MC is a dumb hypocrite, in the first episode when he found out he has been betrayed he KILLED the girl who tortured his friend and in the next episode he refuses (Temporary OF COURSE!) to join them because he now believes killing bad people doesn’t change anything!

you see what i’m talking about here?

the exact same moron existed in Fate series (Shiro) and in Code Geass series (Suzaku).

but that’s not the end of his idiocy, he literally asks the Night Raid’s leader:

“if you succeed would you treat people fairly?”

you should be a special kind of autist to think there is a purpose in asking this question from someone who is leading a revolution, like what the fuck did you expect? that she responses with no i won’t be fair?!!!  

 their leader is pretty dumb too, she orders Akame to kill the MC if he doesn’t listen to them right in-front of him!!! 

you should be really stupid if you think the best way to welcome new comers is with fear and threat

if you thought at least this anime should have a badass villains then i have bad news for you, villains are dumber than our heroes 

when you are in a fight with someone you’d never reveal your secret weapon or technique but here villains explain their abilities to our heroes, yes you read that correctly! 

villains are pretty shallow, they are basically bad for the sake of being bad, there is nothing complex (like radical ideology, revenge, psychological factors,…) behind their motivations, they are like hey i’m the bad guy hahahaha OH btw that’s how i attack and this is my weakness!

there is only one tolerable villain and that is esdeath but it’s not that simple,

esdeath is a ruthless person who takes pleasure in making her enemies suffer as brutally as possible, at first it was cool, a totally badass and dangerous villain but when the king ask her what reward she would like to get, she responded with “love”!

a woman who brutally slaughtered an entire village without feeling any remorse whatsoever and turned the leader of a rebellion army into her own dog! is asking for “love”!!!!!!!!!!

what kind of an awful writing is that? psychopaths don’t feel love, this is not just a stereotype it’s fact

she is also a stupid character as well, she believes that from evolutionary perspective death of weak is justified because “survival of the fittest”, Ok fair enough but if so why the fuck is she serving the king?!!, the king is absolutely powerless without her so isn’t it logical (from her pov) to kill the king and rule the capital yourself? this kind of hypocrisy kills a character in anime or movies

speaking  of villains, lets check out the dumbest villain in this anime: Seryu

she consistently talks about eradicating justice but she is dumb enough to not see the very kingdom she serves in, creates these injustices, they are pretty corrupt people with sadistic tendencies, it’s not even about radical ideology so we can understand it, there are plain and simple evil and yet she works for them, she reminds me to that motherfucker suzaku in code geass.

the other problem with villains is that usually the strongest ones start watching the battle with heros from above!! wtf? if those idiots (especially Akame’s sister) would have attacked simultaneously there wouldn’t remain any chance for night raid

even the techniques that villains use is cliche, like creating illusion for Akame so that MC can remind Akame that her friends believe in her and she should be strong and whole lot of other crap! and finally Akame comes back and she fights the confused villain! and wins! (of course), and the villain keeps yelling Splendid while getting defeated!

this is what you are going to get!

tatsumie is constantly refered to as weak in multiple battles with several villains and every single time he get angry and gets a flash back and suddenly he is super strong!! how am I supposed to react to this shit?!!

if you don’t understand what’s wrong with this, then don’t read anymore, because you would love this anime, just go watch it.

another problem is the dialogues, it has some of the most cheesiest conversations ever, it really gave me goosebumps! be prepare to hear : “i know i’m not experienced enough but i have to move forward and have hope for my friends”, you’ll hear this in almost every episode

and we are Constantly kept getting reminded of MC’s friends who we don’t give a rat’s ass about bc we know nothing about them!

even though he knows his friends are permanently dead he gets shocked that they can’t be resurrected! that idiot doesn’t even think that if Resurrection was possible the Night Army would use it! dumb motherfucker!

they are a lot of “i’ll tell you about it later even though there is no reason to keep you in dark right now!” in this anime, can you see how lazy the people behind this anime are? good animation without good plot means NOTHING, it’s like filming a rat’s shit with the most modern camera with highest resolution, at the end of the day it’s still a rat’s shit!

it’s pretty sad, because i can see the director is indeed talented, bc he managed to make this absolute crap watchable, the main criticism is focused on the manga to be honest!

if i was supposed to say something great about this anime, i’d definitely point out  the opening song, it’s really great, and the fact that this anime had the balls to sacrifice a few of the main characters, i personally thought it would be one of those anime where heroes just beat the shit out of villains without any hero actually dying, to be honest there was  only one relatable character in this anime and that character is Chelsea, she is beautiful and intelligent and a decent human being, she is one of my favorite characters of all time and perhaps the only original thing this anime had to offer! Therefore a lot of tragic events in this anime which fairly were handled correctly and the dark theme of the show definitely help it to not receive a 1 out of me! 

there are anime like kiss x sis (which i’m pretty ashamed to tell you about it!) which doesn’t consider themselves great anime with great plot, they know they are stupid so they focus on comedy so they give this message to their audience that there is nothing meaningful here just softcore henti! and this make the anime watchable because you wouldn’t try to find meaning and instead you try to focus on the comedy and sex! but Akame ga kill seems to think it’s about more than comedy which it’s not, so i can only assume the writers and directors failed to make this anime what they thought it should be.

BUT if you think anime shouldn’t necessarily be meaningful and an interesting plot is sufficient then besides unoriginal characters this anime is pretty great for you, i’m sure you’ll enjoy it

look this is a really good anime but there are A LOT of WTAF moments that it makes you confuse as if whether this is a good anime or not

for example Akame and her sister for 21 episode were super determined to kill each other but in the middle of their fight something attacks them both and Akame saves her sister!! there are  a lot of ass pull plot in Akame ga Kill that it makes it a really bad show from time to time

One last thing! Despite the fact that the name Akame is in the title of the show, one might think she is a main character but she isn’t developed appropriately, there are not a lot of thing about her to make her a memorable character
