As DVD extras have become worse and worse, the team tasked with taking care of them for Akame Ga Kill really put together something worth watching.

Story - 7/10

These are cute little DVD add ons, where each one minute clip has a slight connection to its corresponding numbered full length episode. They touch on goofy little things like Sheele always losing her glasses, Incursio becoming an action figure sold on TV by Lubbock, and Akame and her sister trying to resolve their differences on a radio talk show.

Animation - 7/10

The crude and cutesy style of animation used for these fits the tone the creators were going for perfectly. Despite the drawings being much less detailed than that of a full series, they are still very well made.

Sound - 9/10

These use the same V.O. artists as the original series, with goofy music behind all the clips. I was surprised to find they did voice overs in English, as generally these bonus clips are left in their native Japanese. 

Characters - 8/10

These aren’t really created to build any characters, but instead give them a lighter side, such as having Najenda being extremely afraid of bugs, or watching Seryu teach children on what to do when dealing with bad guys. 

Overall - 8/10

Very little in these moves the series along, but they add to the fun nature of the show and are a nice little laugh for anyone who wants more out of the series. 

Out of all the DVD extras of this nature that I’ve viewed, I’d say these are the most thought out, well made, and entertaining of the lot.
