Young villager Tatsumi heads to the Imperial Capital to try to raise money for his village. After arriving, he discovers that there is corruption in the area. He is recruited by Night Raid, an assassin group, to fight the Empire and end the corruption. As part of Night Raid, Tatsumi joins self-proclaimed "genius sniper" Mine; kind-hearted Sheele who can become a cold-blooded killer when it comes to achieving her goal of getting rid of "society's trash"; and leader Najenda who spent years serving in the Empire before joining Night Raid.

3/5
Akame ga Kill! is a somewhat shallow but entertaining series. Tatsumi and the rest of the main cast are likeable enough despite having stereotypical shonen anime personalities. Go to Full Review

Austyn P @weiredboy Aug 2 Super awesome characters, just doesn't make sense at times and contradicts thing said previously. See more Jash 09/30/2023 My friend made me watch this and I only regret it sometimes. Some parts of this show were surprisingly good for what I expected. If you're bored and have nothing to do, maybe try it out. See more Ptipana L 03/18/2023 In the action-packed dark fantasy anime Akame Ga Kill!, Tatsumi, a youthful warrior, joins the Night Raid, a gang of assassins, in their struggle against the tainted Empire. The anime is based on Takahiro and Tetsuya Tashiro's 2010-2016 manga series of the same name. The anime adapts the first eight volumes of the manga, but its second half deviates from the original plot and offers a unique conclusion. The anime's story moves quickly, there are exciting action sequences, and a wide variety of characters are included. Each Night Raid member possesses their own weapon, known as a Teigu (Imperial Arms), which bestows upon them unique skills and capabilities. Through interactions and confrontations between Night Raid and their opponents, the anime also examines morality, justice, loyalty, and friendship as themes. As seen by the numerous individuals that pass away during the series, the anime is not afraid to depict the severity and aftereffects of war. The anime does, however, have several flaws that might diminish its overall brilliance. The anime frequently alternates between serious drama and humorous relief, which some viewers could find to have an uneven tone. Although others are eliminated too soon or abruptly, other characters are undeveloped or clichéd. Some manga fans who anticipated a different result or resolution may be disappointed with the anime's original ending. All things considered, Akame ga Kill! Is a fun and exciting anime that offers a great amount of action and adventure. It might not be to everyone's taste, especially for those who prefer more jovial or authentic adaptations, but for fans of dark fantasy and anti-hero storylines, it is worth seeing. See more 11/16/2021 Spoilers Ahead: Akame Ga Kill. A name that strikes my PTSD. The plot of the show is essentially this: The MC, Tatsumi, is traveling when when he encounter Akame and Leone. After a little violent encounter Tatsumi is forced to recognize the corruption of the land he found himself in. Then he goes around with his new team called "Night Raid" trying to destroy this corruption. Cool right? Wrong. The anime decided not to follow the same path as the manga and killed off all of the main characters, besides akame. Even Tatsumi, the MC, wasn't excluded. In the manga, Leone, Tatsumi, and Akame survive. If you still decide to watch this show, I wouldn't build an emotional connection to ANY of the characters.
