And there is little finished the adaptation of the manga Akame ga kill in anime of 24 episodes, it was short but what series ... What emotions and twists (Ouch it smells the fan boy). Not seriously, Akame Ga Kill, I loved from start to finish. A poignant story and really badass characters.
Synopsis :
Tatsumi is a young warrior from a small village. He goes on a journey to the capital to raise money in order to provide for his village. Very soon he realizes that this place is not really as he thought ... He met Aria who promised to join the army. As a result of this the Night Raid assassin group came to "dissect" (I did not find more appropriate) all the noble family. It was then that Tatsumi discovered the terrible truth about the capital and was forced to join the killer group in order to save the capital.
The teigus :
To understand the rest, a few words about the weapons is necessary. In Akame Ga Kill (Red eyes sword) some characters have Teigus. They are weapons with powers more or less strange and whose capacities are of incomparable power.
Characters :
In this part I present you just the characters of Night Raid because the description of the enemies could break a part of the suspense in the history.
Tatsumi
An unusual breaker who will learn a lot from Night Raid. He is the main character of the anime, he is "the one on whom everything rests." His kind and sometimes awkward nature makes him an endearing character. His Teigu? I can not reveal it to you
Akame
Akame is the one who has the coldest back but whose heart is the biggest. His Teigu is Murasame and he's a great assassin! One of the protagonists of history also, she has a passion: food ...
Braht
A great warrior who will become the mentor of Tatsumi. He fights with all his strength but his "effeminate" side scares a little the young swordsman xD
Mine
The sniper of the Night Raid, his teigu is a weapon that increases in power according to the degrees of danger of its user. She does not like Tatsumi and makes him understand. Pretty milk soup this bitch hides despite his game 😀
Leone
This is the first member Tatsumi meets. She has a strong chest and knows how to use it! (No I disagree eh). His Teigu allows him to turn into a beast with overpowering strength. She can also regenerate her health quickly (yes like when you get your life back in FPS).
Najenda
She is the leader of the Night Raid, she is an outstanding warrior. For personal reasons I will not reveal his teigu: p Its attraction for bad puns and jokes not fun make it a little more "accessible".
Lubbock
Green hair and red glasses on the head are features of Lubbock. To live in the capital he poses as a bookstore owner. It is he who inherits the perverse side (as in every anime there is one.) He tries every time to mater Leone to the baths and is secretly in love with Najenda ... His teigu consists in creating powerful wires allowing to trap Its enemies or even weave weapons more solid than steel .
OST AKame Ga Kill :
The opening "Skyreach" by Sora Amamiya that sends heavy but I want to say, it has become an important part of the anime and it makes us remember it.
A more calm Ending but it does well after such intense episodes. I really liked Konna Sekai, Shiritakunakatta.

My review of Akame Ga Kill :
Well I do not hide it, it has me much more even if it does not go in the direction I would have liked. The first episode presaged an anime a little trash and under the sign of vice and physical torture.
I thought I'd come across something "serious" with combat scenes and really intense or even inhuman moments (like the beginning of the anime). Well I came down from my cloud but still found an anime that hold the road with a well-tied story.
Conspiracies, betrayal, and big attack mixed with hyper-dynamic fights and a suspense to take the breath away. I advise you with your eyes closed.
Graphically the anime is very clean and the fighting has nothing to envy to other animes of the same type. The soundtrack also remains pleasant and immerses us completely in the universe.
Finally, the story is coherent with plenty of twists and turns. Some will say that it follows the classic scheme and respects the codes of the nekketsu to the rule, nevertheless the impression released is very good and at no time I have a feeling of déjà vu. Even though I thought that the themes treated would have been a little more mature I am still not disappointed with the end result. Validated!
I hope you like this post! You can follow me @redanime so you don't miss my future posts.
Personally I thought this was just entertaining, having read some of the manga I know that the story was altered heavily but I didn't mind that too much. It still kept my attention in the end and the ending, while somewhat abrupt, wasn't too bad.
