Solid episode. Seeing Mine's past was pretty tragic, but it's good to see she's bound and determined to win. The crucifixion part wasn't near as graphic as the manga version, people's legs were gone. But still, a very gripping moment. It showed how extreme the tyranny of the capital really is. F*ck that Minister.

My only issue is how Tatsumi is able to hold that guy. He's a grown ass man. He could lift Tatsumi if he wanted to. It just looked awkward in this scene.

I'm really looking forward to next week, it's quite the fight. First time we see Teigu vs. Teigu.

Can certainly get behind Mine. Went through some terrible stuff, but determined to come out on top at the end. No issue with the financial goal at the end either. After all that insanity being able to retire and relax doesn't sound like a bad thing to aim for

.

I'm certainly ok with them holding up on the crucifixion part. You got the message well enough.

It was a bit strange, but I can't really relate size to strength in this show. I mean Tatsumi cut up a giant dragon, someone with that kind of physical strength should be able to hang onto someone larger than him and limit his movement long enough to take a shot.

It was a pretty good episode since Mine got some time to shine. It showed what her goals are and her reason for them. Nothing wrong with her having a selfish end goal too. Her interactions with Tatsumi are always entertaining. This episodes also showed just how corrupt the capital is and how much of monster the prime minster is.

I am somewhat sad the manga joke was left out.

Master_Yoma · 2014-07-20, 20:50

Mine awesome one good shot and knows how to use Tatsumi

I hope the bad guys become more interesting and less one-dimensional.

Um, I think the prime minister will remain as one-dimensional. He's one evil fat bastard!

Still, can't wait for Episode 4...

FlareKnight · 2014-07-21, 01:01

I just hope I misread that Minister's words in this episode. He...isn't some kind of cannibal and going to eat that guy's wife right? Not that it's much better than the other interpretation, but still pretty creepy.

Benigmatica · 2014-07-21, 01:04

C'mon, he can do whatever he wants, from rape to murder. Honest is the "evil" Prime Minister after all!

yanzzy5 · 2014-07-21, 02:01

Another incredibly solid episode; I really do love how they make tatsumi get a taste of mid level assassinations before he goes chasing off the seriously dangerous characters of this series and god damn the music was good!! I swear I wont complain if the fighting music was used in movies like black hawk down it would make such perfect fit, really love middle eastern feeling.

I'm surprised that there was no question/lack of interest about teigu (imperial arms) from non-manga reader

It's because even in the manga Incursio passed under the radar. Tatsumi didn't ask about it.

G147 · 2014-07-21, 11:42

Or the title for the next episode might explain what is Teigu altogether.

MCAL · 2014-07-21, 17:58

Do not watch this show for the subtlety! Do not watch this show for the subtlety!

This episode was slightly better than the last one, but its still really struggling with the comedy. I wouldn't mind too much, but it kind of stands out when I'm watching Kuroshitsuji which handles comedy and drama/horror much better.

Preview looks interesting though.

jeroz · 2014-07-21, 20:50

I'm still trying to figure out if the people giving out the advice read the manga or not. This is going to be Samumenco all over again

Verrueckter · 2014-07-21, 21:43

So..Akame ga Kill Theatre 3 is up....

Advice them this, read at your own risk. Story contains, blood, slight guro, torture and lots of death.

~Yami~ · 2014-07-22, 02:59

Mine is less interesting and adorable than I expected....
although Tatsumi should be happy to accompany her for a date

It's just my opinion but I think Mine is too vulnerable... She should hold a short-ranged weapon to support herself more in battlefield

Tatsumi has no special skill... but I think his guts is awesome... He know when he should kill and when he should play around... I like this kind of character

oh.. need more Akame in upcoming episodes

NeutralZero · 2014-07-22, 10:10

Tatsumi has no special weapon but he has the skill/potential to be strong...
he has one...
it is sad but they did skip the part where Mine and Shelle discuss Tatsumi's potential base from Akame's view...

I think you misunderstood what he meant by 'eating' her

Back on topic though I wonder what the meaning of episode 4's preview is...
