Akame ga Kill is a show about a guy named Tatsumi who spends his free time in the company of ‘Night Raid’, a group of assassins who kill ‘evil’ people. The group is associated with revolutionaries, who want to overthrow the emperor.
I thought the premise was interesting, I was under the impression we’d watch the assassins kill people for the revolution. That’s not what ended up happening though. Once the Teigu/Artifacts are introduced the show shows (heh) what it’s actually about - 2 groups of superpowered killers fighting for reasons. I was a little disappointed, but, it remains largely enjoyable.
Until we reach a certain episode, at which point the series goes completely insane. It’s actually impressive how bad it gets in such a short amount of time. The last few episodes do so much wrong it hurts to think about.
I don’t recommend watching this, just read the manga if you feel like it.
