why so much focus on Akame when she's just a supporting character? Are they planning on trolling ppl who didn't read the manga? She may be the titular character but she's not he MC.

Spoiler for somethingelse:

Could be to hide how strange is the beginning. The first chapter caught everybody by surprise when it was revealed the protagonist was Tatsumi and Akame was for a second an antagonist (I mean the true behind Akame's action is a big twist in the first chapter).

Spoiler for answer:

Did first chapter realy revealed her as second protagonist? If I remember she had like two lines even there, while Leone served as actual hook...

[Shadow5YA]

Man... almost all of them are bright colors. And these guys are supposed to be assassins?

[Tenzen12]

Well if there might be assassins that atacks group of byzantian soldierd in middle of city in bright dayligh and jumping from towers on squares afterward , why not?

That said, not all assassins are same and among characters in Akame ga Kill there is more than one kind...

Spoiler for Tatsumi:

Again Tatsumi almost never appears on any promo material illustrations or adverts outside the manga. You wouldn't even know he exists until you read the actual source. This mainly because he's POV character. The anime just following manga here.

Spoiler for response:

No the actual hook was that scene with Schere, Leone really didn't do anything much of note beyond being a sort of catalyst.

Assassin is just a general term for mercenaries or covert troops who kill people, their aren't ninjas here.

Historically real ones just dressed and looked like your average joe and it's no different in AgK's world. NR is intentional made stands out to us as the reader/viewers but in-universe they don't look any different from your commoners or vagabonds so their job isn't affected.

Is anyone else as bothered as I am about Tatsumi's brown hair? I mean, I know the color promos already showed him with that, but while reading the manga I always seem to imagine him with blond hair since it's in white. Also, he's too cool in those stills. Make him more innocent/naive!

Other than that, I really liked the anime's design. It's close enough to the manga's art, and the "power ranger" color motif doesn't seem quite nearly as shockingly bright as it appeared in the color pages.

And wow, Mein's gun has got a heck lot of attention given to it.

[desrtsku]

I'm kind of buttockshurt that they didn't use the more loliface-ish manga design for Mine.

Tatsumi looks surprisingly handsome, btw.

[Verrueckter]

Also, Esdese's design looks a little flat compared to the members of NR they've shown. As if they pasted a manga coloring for her in the second PV.

[Asuras]

I find them all entirely too "shiny". Not enough grimdark.

Also Bulat looks kinda goofy.

[articuzwolf]

reading the synopsis on ANN page,
damn that's one huge damn of spoiler from the first chapter LOL
non-manga reader should avoid that at all cost

I'm glad this was 2 cour. I was worry about this until now

[II Maestro]

A 2 cour, glad to hear about this news.

[iceyfw]

2 cours?! i only care because i am hoping GSC or Alter sees this anime adaptation popular enough to make figure of Esdese.

I wish they just showed us some solid animation footage. They're being really mysterious about the visual production up till now.

They have to keep things vague because of

Spoiler for beginning:

the twists in the first chapter.

However I do agree that I want to see more of the animation.

not really, you can see the character designs in the website...promotional video (for other shows as well) usually comes within 1-3 weeks from now

this is far better than Aku no Hana case, where you see nothing other than eyes and BAM...
