Akame Ga Kill

Uh, Esdeath is the minister's best buddy and outright condones the people's suffering, and sexually gets off on torture. She's a bad guy.

She does not really like the Minister in the manga wise and there is a serious conflict between them especially around Bol's death. She is really flawed but she is likable as the story progresses.

She is easily the most likable character in the series.

She's also a monster.

While Esdeath does condone the suffering, her reasoning is different. It was drilled into her from birth that the strong thrive and the weak are crushed under foot; if you die you just weren't strong enough. Her dad said that to her as he lay dying. So while the Minister just wants power and is corrupt to the core. Esdeath is extremely ruthless.

Also it's true they don't like each other at all. She puts up with him mainly, but he pisses her off. At one point I think she said she was planning on killing him.

So no one knows the name of the song/beat =\

Bols wasn't introduced until episode 9.

Well I meant episode 16. *shrug*

Anyways I'll wander youtube. Someone you have the answer there.

There's not a lot of info to go on. I'll try and look too but don't get your hopes up.

Really, enjoying the series so far, currently on episode 6. My favorite character has to be Seryuu. Her mistaken outlook of justice, is pure creepy and one of the many reasons why she is so enticing. :3

Now about the passing of the imperial arm, from the bro to the main protagonist, felted forced, anyone else thought the same?

Glad the sadist kid was taken care of, man that guy was crazy! The skinning part reminds me of "Ghost in the Shell".

Well that was unexpected.

I expected it.

What the f*ck? The anime has diverged so damn far from the manga it's unrecognizable. I guess they had a lot less episodes they did some creative restructuring.

Not necessarily. Keep in mind the manga is still only on episode 21's events.

The biggest change is the removal of the entire Wild Hunt arc and the changes brought on by that decision.

It feels sooo rushed 😬

It was going so well then it went 10x speed and jump over everything. There seems to be so much unpolished smashing together of fights with no explanations in the anime version I feel sad. 🙁 The manga drew out everything so well and you really felt for both sides 🙁

I didn't think the anime's ending was bad. Despite condensing plot elements from the manga, Akame's duel with Esdeath was well done and it was satisfying to see Leone literally beat the minister's face in. That character was just so rotten that he made even the viewer want to punch his face in.

The manga itself is drawing towards a climax so it'll be interesting to see if the ending to it will be like the anime's or different from it. I personally hope Leone and Mine will live but the AgK universe doesn't care who lives or dies.

Well I just got finished watching this entire anime and I have to say I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I found it particularly funny how the ending just sped through everything to reach the conclusion.

I thought it was very subpar. But then I don't confuse darkness and gore with depth. 🙂

Oh yeah it was definitely a subpar anime. Nonetheless I still found some enjoyment in it: it helps that it was only 24 episodes.

I found it to be a good snack muncher. If you approach it from that angle, you won't be disappointed.

The manga is certainly more fulfilling, though. I actually look more forward to new chapters of it than I do with One Piece, Bleach, Fairy Tail, and Toriko these days.
