The only reason Akame ga Kill seemed to get so weirdly homicidal is because it got ahead of the manga and the writers just went ahead and made up the better part of the last half of the show. It would benefit from getting the FMA: Brotherhood treatment at some point, being redone and sticking to the source material.


Thought that was because ratings sucked?

That could have been due to the fact that even in the first half, apparently events weren't exactly translated 1:1 from the manga. If you read around a bit, you'll see that production for the anime was a little bit off, a huge chunk of the manga was flat out skipped over, things were changed, altered, etc., and Full Metal Alchemist is just the most popular comparison I have for what they ultimimately ended up doing to it. In the end, they didn't make a bad product, but at the same time, it isn't the anime adaptation people actually wanted.

Yeah, I read something similar, but I still think that no matter how different an anime is from the manga, if people like the anime enough they will watch it. For example, I heard that Sailor Moon deviated A LOT from the manga, but was obviously very successful. The reboot, which from what I heard was extremely close to the mange, did not do that well. From what I saw, it  felt like a completely different show. My point being that sticking to the original material is not necessarily always good.

Anyway, I've never read a manga (tvried reading the akame ga kill manga and was bored to death) but Akame ga kill seemed awesome to me. I get why things like Dragon Ball GT failed, or even Bleach (they both got boring in my opinion), but for me Akame ga kill was perfect the entire time. Loved every single thing about it.

Akame ga Kill. One of the best anime I've ever seen.

For some reason the entire internet and their mothers hate it with passion, so you may not want to take my word for it (though the pilot alone will be enough to help you decide if it's worth your time). I just thought it was all sorts of amazing (apart from the stupid fan-service stuff).

(Does anyone know if the plural of anime is "animes" or "anime". I see people spell it both ways all the time)


I think people hate the Akame ga Kill Anime because it is a HUGE disappointment compared to the Manga and messes up the Story. It was cool but I wish it would have followed the Manga better personally....

 

edit:

I see someone already beat me to saying this lol.

Bleach failed to you? I thought Bleach did very well with the Anime to me anyway. And left left off at a good spot. There are even rumors of it starting back up or having a movie to cover the Quincy series....

Sorry, my bad. I meant the arc after Aizen. Up to that point, the show was awesome. The fullbring arc (or whatever it was called) made me quit the show. I only came back after I heard it was getting cancelled so I watched the arc to get some sense of closure.

Yeah that Arc did suck....the best thing was the final few episodes...the rest of it was bad.

All the shows I was going to recommend in here are already recommended. Think I will start watching some of the recommendations I haven't yet seen myself though...



Cobretti2 on 27 July 2015

looks like most the good stuff has been recommended. Can't think of anything else.
