The team proceeds to complete hits and investigations with their select Teigu (‘Imperial Arms’ forged from Danger Beasts years before Akame ga Kill!’s timeline) gaining and losing members along the way, as they take their fight closer to the heart of the Empire.ĭespite how hard it tries to elicit emotion, Akame ga Kill! is a show about ‘red shirts.’ It’s a show about disposable people. The family is slaughtered by an assassin group called ‘Night Raid’ (of a larger Revolutionary Army) that decide to accept Tatsumi as a fellow assassin-in-training. While taking refuge with a family of nobles, Tatsumi learns that his friends were taken by the very same people and tortured during their separation. Though he gets more than he bargained for as the trio is forced apart and he quickly witnesses the seedy underbelly of the city for himself. The story follows a young man named Tatsumi who leaves his village with two friends to seek fortune and glory in the Capital. Upon its conclusion, the anime and original manga spawned both a prequel and sequel manga in Akame ga Kill! Zero (2013-2019) and Hinowa ga Crush! (2017-ongoing).

Takahiro’s Akame ga Kill! was adapted into a TV series by anime/video game developer and producer Square Enix of Black Butler, Durarara!!, and Fullmetal Alchemist fame in 2014.

So, what do you get when you have to release an anime about corruption without ample source material? Let’s talk about it. It also doesn’t help that the anime, like most anime adaptations, didn’t have a complete manga to work with during production. The thing is, Akame ga Kill! is so thoroughly grounded in its gimmick, all the while trying to shoehorn in a theme of moral grayness. Like most shounen, there are colorful characters, legendary weapons, and large-scale showdowns between good and evil abound. There are a rare few that manage to balance different genres, tones, and overall pacing, but unfortunately, the dark fantasy anime Akame ga Kill! isn’t one of them.ĭon’t get me wrong, I think the show’s gimmick is a lot of fun. A show can be a spectacle with or without ‘deep’ themes, but either way, a show should own its flaws and work with its strengths.

However, I have a problem with TV series that try to be something they’re not. I’m talking mindless shows and trashy shows and everything in-between.Īs much as I love a good story, there’s nothing wrong with liking things simply because they’re cool and/or visually stimulating. This should go without saying, but I think ‘junk food’ is great.
