Akame ga Kill [Anticipation]

[Jetzero Infinity]

Domain name akame.tv was registered (http://akame.tv/)and the magazine the manga runs in has a big announcement for the series next issue so it's probably safe to say it's getting an anime adaption. If not feel free to delete this thread.

It's apparently registered under Toho so I'm curious which studio will end up animating it. Since most of the major studios are swamped with other projects at the moment I'm hoping for Brain's Base personally

[BW95]

I honestly don't know what to say.

[KleenexGhost]

Calling it: Ryota Ohsaka or Yuki Kaji will voice Tatsumi :heh:

[Kismet-chan]

I pawed through the manga out of curiosity. Looks pretty interesting! Hope it gets a good studio.

[tsunade666]

OH GREAT!!!!

This wakes me up from my slumber. Greatest news so far for year 2014.

[Sumeragi]

Interesting. Let's see how much despair this will cause.

[Asuras]

Oh.

Fuck.

[Seitsuki]

ESDESE-SAMAAAAAAAAAAA :love::love::love:

All hail the age of dominant Onee-sans!!

[ultimate_noob]

Now that is what I call an edgy announcement. :D

[com_gwp]

Calling it: Ryota Ohsaka or Yuki Kaji will voice Tatsumi :heh:

if Kaji voices him I'll already be in despair without the show doing anything. :heh:

[SkoolRumble4Ya]

I got a strong feeling Production Ig/Wit is on this.

[NorthernFallout]

And my pants just flew off. Hypetrain leaving the station, toot toot.

[Excorsism]

I'd personally prefer White Fox since they're quite good with keeping the original character design intact.

[Marcus H.]

I wouldn't be surprised if the full monty of violence would be available only on BD.
That said, I'd be laughing if DEEN gets this series, considering how they're treating pupa. :heh:

[Esclair]

I'm glad they altered the color schemes for the characters. The manga version was just too RAINBOW.

[Klashikari]

A lot of posts have been deleted. By all means, do NOT mention what could potentially happen, considering not even the premise actually hint about a specific part of the franchise (and manga readers know perfectly what I'm implying).

You can always discuss about it in a concise fashion in the manga thread, but that's far as it goes.

[Student no.0]

Where are they altered? The link in the OP isn't working for me sadly.

[leokiko]

Lots of friends have been recommending the manga to me for ages, but I was too lazy to check out. Now I will wait for the anime, and if it ends up being crap, will finally read it.

[Ravenblitz]

I hope it will be gory as fcked

[KleenexGhost]

I hope it will be gory as fcked

Televised version will more than likely be censored. :heh:

[tsunade666]

I hope it will be gory as fcked

It depends on who will animate it and what time it will be aired.

I'm all up for gory scenes and even if its censored I will just buy the bd's.

[Asuras]

Only a few scenes in particular, IIRC, are of particularly noteworthy goriness. A lot of it is people being sliced in half in monochrome, which happens all the time in anime, as far as I'm concerned. There are a few, sure, pretty questionable scenes (the "special" chapter is obviously not going to be animated, let's be real), but nothing that will change too much from the manga, IMO.

Who knows. We'll have to see.

[desrtsku]

I'm glad they altered the color schemes for the characters. The manga version was just too RAINBOW.

Personally I like it rainbow. The colourfulness is a sort of reminder that there's more about this than killing people left and right.

[Amario]

So its been confirmed to be an anime adaption? must mean there will be a lot of censorship.

Well as long as Esdesse appears not much to complain about. xD

[com_gwp]

So its been confirmed to be an anime adaption? must mean there will be a lot of censorship.


No actual confirmation yet, but its almost fact at this point.

Still, on the (insanely) off-chance this turns out to be something else... :heh:

[OverSeer]

I wont have any issues as long as the characters look exactly as they presented to us in the manga.

That is all.

[leokiko]

This is too brutal, they are gonna censor the hell out of it.

[Shadow5YA]

I'm glad they altered the color schemes for the characters. The manga version was just too RAINBOW.

They still are pretty colorful (pink hair on Mein and Green on Raba).

Most likely the artist just made it a darker shade to match the time of day (night) in the pic.

[OverSeer]

imagine you are all wrong about there being an anime and the important announcement is really is the cancellation of the manga. That be funny and very sad at the same time. The domain created is just some guy sitting on his ass and decided it be funny to make one to piss people off in the near possible future.

[Excorsism]

Looks like the anime's confirmed for real now.

Woopie!

[Iron Maw]

It begins. :D :heh:

[KleenexGhost]

I think Saori Hayami would be a good Akame.

I still think Kaji or Ohsaka will end up voicing Tatsumi.:heh: However I wouldn't be surprised if Nobuhiko Okamoto or Miyu Irino got the role.

[Tsuchimikado]

Akame ga Kill! is going to be as popular as it was "Attack on Titan" when it was adapted to anime.

Obviously not Madhouse or Bones, and it looks like Deen's Kore wa Zombie's design/color vibes.

[Iron Maw]

You can't really attribute character design to a particular studio rather than an artist. Even moreso when staff often shuffle around different companies.

I'm laughing my ass off right now :heh:

[SkoolRumble4Ya]

It's nice to have a official announcement. Now I don't have to worry about getting troll. The only thing I fear if some studio ruin the anime.

[RRW]

i just want to give you guys warning that manga like this is kinda hard to make anime version good. mainly because

1) is not finished. is hard to end the anime unleash the make original ending (in which will probably happend anyway)
2) not incredibly popular like AoT. so chance it get proper budget is small
3) not to mention brutality. but that already covered

[Tyabann]

2) not incredibly popular like AoT. so chance it get proper budget is small
AoT is probably a bad comparison since it had garbage scheduling and looks pretty damn bad in a lot of instances as a result.
Whether Akame ga Kill is well-animated or not depends on who works on it and how good the scheduling is, not just budget.

[Tenzen12]

1. Considering there wasn't announced date of release it should be two or three seasons from now, maybe longer. By that time there can be as well good point for anime ending.

2. While it isn't as popular as AoT, is still VERY popular manga with own spin-off and big fandom. IMHO chances it get proper budgets are pretty good.

3. Cenzorship could do probably lot of damage to adaptation though, I have to agree with that. But considering that it's brutality is pretty much important part of settings and characters I hope it will not go that way.

[RRW]

AoT is probably a bad comparison since it had garbage scheduling and looks pretty damn bad in a lot of instances as a result.

I found AoT is fine for what it is. certainly can be better and most fan want it to be perfect. but that just naive

really in order to make good manga adaptation it have to be

1) nearly complete or they can stop in a arc without any significant cliffhanger and plot hole. else you get anime original end
2) make sure that the content fit to 12/24/50 episode anime
3) good budget & staff

Akame already fail point 1 so chance are we going to get anime original end. I can see some place where they can end it. but they probably add some thing or 2 just to make it more grand

for point 2, given or available content it possible that they make it 24 ep anime but more likely we going to get 12 episode one since most of the fight is fast paced so the can compressed it to 1 our. possible but not favourable

point 3 is remain to be seen

tl;dr keep your expectation low. I dont see how this is can be as popular as AoT simply because is more gore than AoT.

1) the anime already been worked waaaaay before the announcement. possible year before and general plot point already been set. unleash they have proper talk with the author. they only have last year content to work with.

2) define popular? AoT is popularity is on different scale. Akame popularity is modest really. it have sizeable fan but not popular enough to go beyond that. everybody can make spinoff if they want to. is not really indication wether it popular or not

3) TBH is not really super brutal and they can easily tone it down without need to censor it. doubt most of use bothered unleash you guys complain that it need more blood splash

[Tenzen12]

Anime original ending doesn't have to be necessarily worse than manga one, it all depends of skill of screenwriters and director. So as long as Kishi doesn't get involved there is hope.

1) Unless they have proper talk with the author? I assume that as long as creative team have ambitions that should be first priority.

2)You are saying it like AoT was gauge for alocating budgets. It's not. From very begening it's popularity was abnormal. Number of works that can compare in metter of sales in recent few years could be probably counted on fingers of one hand and is nothing compared to amount shows that was released. BTW while anyone can make spinoff, if it's source work not realy popular noone will publish it. Spin-off = popular, that's how it goes. No exeptions.

3)As long as it doesn't hurt story, I don't realy care. Though I do think violence can be downplayed into point it can be troublesome.

[Marcus H.]

I was surprised that Akame was published in Gangan Joker, the same magazine where Tasogare Otome × Amnesia was published.

[RRW]

1) Unless they have proper talk with the author? I assume that as long as creative team have ambitions that should be first priority.


lol, if there is first priority in anime industry. it will be "how much money can we make?" everything else is secondary.

just dont over hyped your self especially in this type of manga. you just let yourself down. no matter how good the manga is. it doesnt mean the anime is as good as manga

only handful among hundred action anime like this is consider to be successful. even then there is big debate among manga reader and anime watcher and you just cannot satisfied both side

[Tenzen12]

...I admit my defeat on this particular point. You are absoulutely correct.

While Akame is quite good manga, It's something I would get hyped about. And after Ars Nova I am well aware of that fact, but so far there is nothing that would point it will get either low budgets (that's actualy unlikely) or mayor screew-up in story telling yet.

only handful among hundred action anime like this is consider to be successful. even then there is big debate among manga reader and anime watcher and you just cannot satisfied both side

It is possible satisfy both side, only quite difficult. On top of that AkG is quite adaptable. As I said as long as Kishi isn't involved it will be at least decent anime.

Very. It was from the artist of the manga and in addition to the white fox announcement said it has the full support from gangan joker and toho. The problem likely was his editor since he's been asking square to make an announcement on twitter for a while and this was probably it. If anyone wants to see the tweet I screencapped it before he deleted it.

[Westlo]

I have no idea why people here are hype for White Fox doing an adaption of action anime with their low production values. It's not like their only decentish recent show in regards to production values, in Maou sama has anywhere near the amount of action this will have. So unless for some reason this show is given a massive budget.... seriously White Fox been living off that Steins;Gate goodwill for a long time...

[Marcus H.]

White Fox has the advantage of having a rather light production load compared to most studios due to having at most two series per year (they had just gone past their one project a year approach with Super Sonico and Gochuumon), and I think they can handle stuff decently at least.

Jorumgand looked pretty good and that had about as much action as this series does. So long as Toho gives it an actual budget it should be fine

[NeutralZero]

since the anime ver is right around the farthest corner
aside from the common adaptation fiasco, fillers and butchering...
will it we see a titan/claimore and the likes level of brutality?
or have it heavily censored on those areas

[Kanon]

White fox? EVERYBODY GET ON THE HYPE TRAIN

[RollingPenguin]

Well seeing how how mangaka mentioned that adaptation is receiving full support from Toho,I suspect that it will have good budget.
Also,since this is White Fox is it possible that Hiroshi Hamasaki will direct this anime?He already has experience with bloody,violent and gruesome manga adaptation,plus he worked with White Fox on Steins;Gate.God,I am already over-thinking this.

White Fox has some skilled in-house animators so it could turn out to be great if the right staff is involved (though Atsushi Itagaki may be currently busy). The best action scenes of Katanagatari & Maou-sama were handled by these animators and White Fox could also call back Naoto Hosoda for some help as they did for Sonico. My wish is Hosoda as director but I don't think it'll happen :p
Well let's wait for more info...

And Jormungand was pretty good action wise.

As for me, I am hyped!

Except that very few studios are capable of providing action of the highest budget. Even then, good directing can save it, which White Fox has delivered on almost all their projects since Steins;Gate. You could also look at how David Productions handled Jojo pretty brilliantly despite its low budget. Low budget does not mean anything by itself, the creative staff on the project are much more important.

I don't care if you have a high budget if you have incompetent people using it like Kyoani on Kyoukai no Kanata. As long as the budget is anywhere close to what it was on Maou-Sama, I think they should be fine.

[Miraluka]

I want wakamoto for the prime minister!!:heh:

Not enough manly for Wakamoto.

[Excorsism]

White Fox is great. Do you guys not remember that terrible preview they did for Katanagatari, only to be disappointed because it never happened? Man that was both cruel and awesome.

[Mentar]

White Fox is great.

Want me to say something really controversial? I hope that they do NOT get a big budget. Why? Because this would only lead to the overemphasis of the wrong aspect of the show. I do NOT want big battle gorefests - the ugly meatgrinder is what I want to see the least. Anything forcing White Fox to tone this aspect down is most welcome with me.

White Fox has proven time and time again that they manage to capture the story essence of shows. And for Akame Ga Kill, it's not the "Attack on Titan"-like butchery, in my most humble opinion. The fewer the better.

[Tenzen12]

I don't want to get it too gore either, but I don't think that's realy metter budgets, it's not like guts are realy that expensive comodity afterall.

In other hand fluently animated battles (and not just that) would be definitely nice.

[OverSeer]

Hell, i am going to ask. Do we have any specifics on when the anime supposed to come out or any kind of info like that?

[Jarmel]

Budget has very little to do with how a show actually looks. It has more to do with the people working on the show and the production schedule. Shingeki no Kyojin probably had an insane budget yet it had tons of production errors and looked poor quite a few times because the production schedule was so behind and such a mess. Some of Kyoukai no Kanata's episodes, and KyoAni episodes in general, only had half a dozen people working on it. David Production made JoJo good through solid directing but also had a lot of poor art at times.

The directing itself wasn't poor in KnK but the source material and Jukki Hanada were what sunk that project. KyoAni's production values were the only thing of note of that show.

White Fox has a really mixed TV record. Katanagatari was an OVA first off so they got a lot more time compared to their TV series. Steins;Gate wasn't a great looking show but the directing was enough to cover it. On the other hand, Maou was very well directed and very good visually. Jormungand was a mess that's main redeeming value was the source material itself being damn good enough to cover the botched anime adaptation. The gun fights in Jormungand were awful to say the least. So the question becomes who is working on Akame at White Fox and what their schedule is? Akame is a much more action series than Maou which was closer to SOL than anything else.

[MCAL]

The directing itself wasn't poor in KnK but the source material and Jukki Hanada were what sunk that project. KyoAni's production values were the only thing of note of that show.I disagree. The direction in KnK was horrible. The fights were awkwardly staged and the use of slow motion was badly timed (Granted I stopped at Episode 7). But let's stop there,this isn't a Kyo-Ani thread.

Can't say much for Katanagatari since I haven't seen it. But Steins Gate looked fine. And like you said the direction was great, which is what we are getting at. I agree with what you said about Maou-sama. But your comments on Jormungand confuse me. I don't see how it was a botched adaption considering it was a near panel for panel adaption. And the only thing negative I could really say about the gun fights were that they were played unrealistically, but it was unrealistic in the manga too, so the fault doesn't really lie with White Fox. So yeah, White Fox inspires more confidence than most studios right now.

[Jarmel]

I disagree. The direction in KnK was horrible. The fights were awkwardly staged and the use of slow motion was badly timed. But let's stop there,this isn't a Kyo-Ani thread.

Either way, KyoAni has one of the best production schedules out of all the anime studios and that's a big reason as to why their shows look topnotch. It's not just a 'throw money at it' type of problem.

The gunfights in Jormungand were a mess. There's a difference between unrealistic and being boring. There weren't any tension in them, they weren't framed properly, and they weren't animated even remotely well. It's a stark difference compared to something like Black Lagoon. The word fine is probably the best you could use to describe Steins;Gate. It wasn't ever that bad but the lighting and coloring were uh, debatable to say the least. The animation was also really stiff for the most part. White Fox skirted by on the strength of the source material for both Jormungand and Steins;Gate.

[tsunade666]

Nice. Its white fox but they already had 2 shows scheduled form what I read here. Will it be for fall season? or next year? I hope for a 2 cour at least.

Well since "boring" is a subjective word I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. (For example I thought the fight scenes in KnK were boring). As for Steins; Gate, I feel like we are not on the same page. The point that's trying to be made here is "Will White Fox as a studio direct and execute Akame ga Kill well enough, budget notwithstanding?" And no matter how it looked Steins; Gate was directed and executed damn well. Which is the point I am making. Let's just say Jormungand was bad, still three out of four is still a good track record.

[Reckoner]

Budget has very little to do with how a show actually looks.

That's basically what I was saying. White Fox usually has good direction and can make use of their limited budget. Maou-sama proved this. I thought Jormungand worked well enough with its budget, but it definitely could have used more. Also Katanagatari was not an OVA as far as I am aware, it did air on TV. The difference was that they released a single episode a month, which was much longer.

I referenced Kyoukai no Kanata as an example of bad direction messing up action scenes despite the budget pumped into it.

Pretty much how I'm looking at it, no idea why so many people think this is a home run strictly due to "WHITE FOX". As much as I liked Maou-sama it doesn't have anywhere near enough action to counter how they handled Jormungand, the most recent action anime they have done. As for Katanagatari it was a tv series on an OVA like schedule and was the second adaption of a Nisio property after his mega smash Bakemonogatari.

White Fox still have a lot to prove, especially in this genre.

I, for one, wouldn't mind if they spent their entire budgets on the armor equips for our respective three bro characters, :heh:.

Those scenes must be as glorified as they were in the manga!

WHite Fox eh?

It better look at least as good as Katanagatari or it's gonna be a waste.

(I'm really biased because that is some of the best shonen manga work i've seen to date visually).

Mixed bag as it were (Personally I'd contest that notion) you can't forget that amongst the general repertoire of anime studios they're solidly counted in the high tiers. Their good cred is fully deserved from their track record of hits in the last few years, so it's fair to be a bit more optimistic here. Akame is also a pretty popular property, so it'd probably get reasonably good backing in production.

[RRW]

probably similar to jomurgand. Beautiful animated action scene but the story will fall short.

[bastek66]

There is one problem with White Fox. They can't handle 2-cour anime. That's why Jormungand was split-cour. They must prepare like with Steins;Gate, otherwise one cour will be dissapoiting amount of episodes.

They did just fine with Steins;Gate and Tears to Tiara

[Tenzen12]

I am not sure whether Tears to Tiara can be considered as good example of well handled two cours show. Pacing was all over place there.

[Nachtwandler]

I personally didn't have any problems with it and it's pacing.

[Esclair]

I wonder how much the anime will cover. The only good stopping point I can think of is at the latest chapter, especially since we got THAT scene which would make for a very good ending point as well as the hype and setup for season 2.

However, that'd mean covering ~54 chapters in 24 episodes (assuming they get 2 cours). AgK chapters are already on the longer side so I don't know if they can fit that much content in without massive cuts or feeling rushed.

There's only about 45 chapters out. I imagine it'll probably end at chapter 43 since that ends the Borick arc and it's a good stopping point

[RRW]

Ideal solution will be that. But is too ideal.

My expectation is 1 cour end with base raid arc

[kyou13]

It'd be disappointing as I won't be able to see Seryuu get her ass kicked.
And it'll stretch thing a little bit since we're talking about adapt 20chaps (which equal to roughly 40chaps of other weekly series) into 12eps here. Well, i guess they can skip some of the earlier parts (like the slasher guy).

Short teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqpjtceIZo

[HauntingShock]

Here's hoping that's not the actual animation they'll use... :uhoh:

[desrtsku]

^ Depending on what you mean by that I might disagree, it sure looks rather uncanny but it has more pros than cons to me.
It's very fluid and the boobs and armpit are art is consistent. Albeit it feels like poorman's GITS Innocence/Okiura with less detailed (and too mechanical) movements and weird composing.
Even now, I'm still wondering if it's either CGI, hand drawn, or hand drawn over CGI. You sure it's White Fox? Never seen them using this kind of visuals.

I'd rather see them use hand-drawn animation than CGI to be honest...

And yeah, the leaked info on twitter was that it will be animated by White Fox... but this teaser was uploaded by Toho animation, now I'm not sure Just realized being uploaded by Toho animation doesn't mean anything at all :heh:

[desrtsku]

Ah, got this from one from frame grabbing.
I don't know, boobs and armpit look fine if it's CGI then it's some kind of top notch high budget CGI. Live 2D maybe?

I can't wait to see Mein in all her bright pink glory :heh:

It will be weird to see brown haired Tatsumi and blonde Onesan. I'm so used to white and black pages

I won't judge anything by this teaser. It was made just to inform the people that project is in production and I bet it can be any mark of the real anime quality.

just when I'm about to say that I hate that short teaser....It doesn't look good

but the key visual is good, the background is kinda bland though

[Kismet-chan]

I never expect dazzling backgrounds from out of a key visual, but that's me.

In any case, Akame looks good, imo.

[desrtsku]

Eh? Guys, I honestly don't think that key visual is a ... well, key visual per se. No way in hell a TV anime is gonna have lightings like that.

[LuxorMG]

Have they announced which studio will animate this?

most of scene are censored with black or just scream

Only read the manga till ch 20 a couple years ago

[desrtsku]

I call falsehood on that. I count 15 exactly gore scene pages from just the ten first chapters alone.
And by "gore" I don't mean "blood spilled", I'm talking about dismemberment and nsfw torture scenes.
Don't mind me, just my autism.

[Eisdrache]

People are dying at a steady pace in this manga but compared to the first few chapters the gore hasn't really shown up anymore. I don't even consider WH's actions that gory.

[Cloudedmind]

The manga has been on my list of stuff to read, so I guess I should finally get around to doing that. :P

[Cold~as~Ice]

sora amamiya to voice akame

[Nachtwandler]

Not bad choice. She's quite new but has really wide voice range.

[Tenzen12]

Well, Akame isn't important character anyway, so it should be ok.

[Yoxall]

Nice to see they are starting to list some casts to the characters. Probably need to hear more of this person's voice to judge though, since the only role I've heard from her is Honoka from Mahouka. Also, character design seems fitting:

Sora has a great voice, I'm ok with this.

[com_gwp]

Well, Akame isn't important character anyway, so it should be ok.

It's both sad and hilarious how true this turns out to be, even though she's the titular character. :heh: Her VA is an interesting choice regardless, a newbie I haven't heard much from.

[desrtsku]

Shh, people. Please hold the obvious Akame jokes for when the anime is airing.

In all honesty, though, I'm more interested in how inconsistent her breast size is.

[RRW]

Yeah wondering that too. From front it seem big. From side small

[desrtsku]

The most interesting thing is that this problem is also present in the manga. At first, I though it was just the artist being inconsistent (as he's just starting to get good at drawing himself). But seeing as the anime also caught the disease, I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't actually some sort of malediction or a secret plot point that Takahiro is hiding from us.

Those thighs... They're on point with Akame's charming points, :).

[desrtsku]

Somehow, I have this weird feeling that they're gonna change/add a lot of contents in order to give Akame more screentime.

[Chichiryuushintei]

If they don't tone down the violence/rape/blood/severed limbs too much I'm fine with it, I know they won't animate chapter 23.5 but maybe they will do an OVA from it.

I wonder if it will be a 2 cour (is that how you spell it?) season though, 12 episodes would barely show anything without rushing it.

[maplehurry]

After seeing the amount of censoring in Bryhildr of Darkness, I have a bad feeling about this...

I think Satomi Akesaka playing against her type. (So far I remember she voices Chrome Dokuro from Hitman Reborn!)

I would have preferred Itou Shizuka or Kobayashi Yuu since they seemed perfect for Esdese, but I'll give Satomi a shot.

But Rabac is unbelivable more badass:D

This is true, though his moments don't really come until later. I kinda doubt that the anime will get that far. :(

Something is bothering me...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.

[Iron Maw]

Nothing unusual about it. Akame's has always been on most the promotional material for the series.

[Mad Pierrot]

Something is bothering me...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.

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).

[Tenzen12]

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? :heh:

[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...

[Iron Maw]

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).

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.

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...

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

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

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

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.

[com_gwp]

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! :heh:

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.

[Excorsism]

Welp, I'm excited. Really look forward to Wave and Kurome as well.

[Ii_chan]

the pv look like promising somehow *_*

[Kismet-chan]

The preview of the OP sounded EXTREMELY generic, so that's a bit of a bummer. You'd think a story like this would have a song way more kickass than that!

Anyway, the animation looked rather nice. While I haven't read the manga deeply or anything, I've seen enough it to say that I personally think the art style for the series (now fully seen in motion) does it some justice. Looking forward to this.

[articuzwolf]

my only gripes from the PV is...too many colors, felt unnatural for a story with grim fantasy setting

[Verrueckter]

That was satisfying, resisting the urge to get hyped about this. As for the colors, it matched the theme in the colored pages I've seen in the manga. I personally think it fits with the "typical shounen adventure story gone to hell" theme.

[MisaoFan]

Watching the PV suggests that the anime will be a blood-spread dark fantasy anime which I already expected when I first read the manga. The character designs and the color palette are reminiscient of Needless, it's like they created a crossover combination between overly bright and rainbow-y visuals with a extremely dark atmosphere. I'll watch it next month just like many others.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Considering the content of the original material, I wonder how far they'll go with the nastiness in the anime. And Japanese censorship department is supposed to be more sensitive too nowadays. Even a show like Doraemon got hammered for some "objectionable" material recently which is absolutely no problem in the past.

Oh, and the PV doesn't relly make me hyped for some reason. I think it's just OK and gets the job done.

[Lou0wnZ]

Thought it was just an OK preview as well.

[Iron Maw]

The anime presentation in the PV was not bad. It's definitely a lot more colorful than I thought it would be given the manga. But this might actually work for it as duplicabile elements are underlying theme in the story.

[Tranhieu]

I was a bit let down by the OP, thought it would be something similar to Tokyo Ghoul's, which is also aired next season and gloomy as hell, but it turned out to be another cheerful generic jpop.

The color palette is also a bit... too vivid for this kind of show(?)

[KleenexGhost]

I think the color kinda works for it. Personally, with the art-style of the manga, I wasn't expecting how dark the series could get. So I can kinda see the color palette working in the same way.

[Rogue66]

The pv look good so far any idea of how many chapters it going to do.

[bakato]

The anime presentation in the PV was not bad. It's definitely a lot more colorful than I thought it would be given the manga. But this might actually work for it as duplicabile elements are underlying theme in the story.

Action scenes were nicely done too. There is clearly no lack of budget. Looks like they're going to muddy some of the torture scenes.

[com_gwp]

As good as the animation looks, the PV was a little too by-the-books for my taste. The music isn't catching on either.

Being white fox and all, I was hoping to see a bit of that katanagatari flair for the action. Hoping that they go just a little more balls-out when we finally see the actual episode.

[articuzwolf]

yes the color palette was directly from the manga (the manga is obviously black and white so didn't bother me too much while reading it)...
but they can make the color darker or make it blend more with the nighttime setting in th PV.
It's hard to imagine it would be grim/dark fantasy setting when you show bright pink, purple, green and yellow side by side in that PV :heh:

[LoweGear]

plenty of updates from akame_tv twitter accounts (https://twitter.com/akame_tv)

What's with that huge amount of fat up there? :uhoh:

[mangatron]

Did you just call her FAT? :frustrated:



She's... just not wearing a bra, that's why she's so curvy up there :naughty:

[Chichiryuushintei]

What's with that huge amount of fat up there? :uhoh:

Those are not fat, they're filled with man's hopes and dreams.

[Tenzen12]

Nope, hopes and dreams are reserved for Leone:mad:

[articuzwolf]

if you know the reference, it's andy and frank! *run*

[Chichiryuushintei]

Nope, hopes and dreams are reserved for Leone:mad:

Why not both? The more the merrier :D

[hamazura]

i thought akame's boobs were small o_o

[Tenzen12]

Yeah, not enough dreams here and hopess didn't get even in.

Some people are happy with small dreams, but I AM VISIONAIRE!

[LoweGear]

Unfortunately, this manga has the tendency to crush Hopes & Dreams brutally :uhoh:

[hamazura]

Yeah, not enough dreams here and hopess didn't get even in.

Some people are happy with small dreams, but I AM VISIONAIRE!

akame? dream? if you want dream go watch fairy tail :p

She looks like Kirihime Natsuno in a nutshell with all the black and red tones that plague throughout her body, with a few changes (dem big breasts).

[Kinali]

I have been waiting for this one. I can already see my friends faces while they watch this.

The main website has posted preview screenshots for the first episode. As expected, it seems they will adapt the entire first chapter of the manga. Hopefully they do not rush it.

Iwasaki delivered.
But Blonde bitch execution sucked due to stilts.

[Excorsism]

Akame's voice is perfect, although all of them are pretty good. Pretty faithful and quite nice in motion despite the somewhat generic designs. And dat music.

[zero7090]

well, since they dont want to waste money on hiring seiyuu that can go totally FUBAR for a 1-ep character, distorting the voice is an ok touch. However, they should have the scene Tatsumi cutting that bitch more brutal, instead of using that 3d-2d mixery jumbo ... (i am not sure of the name)

p/s: Yes Ieyasu, you was cool, greeting-death-with-a-smile-cool.

[II Maestro]

Episode 1 is out and it sure is looking forward to future episodes.

Love that Bulat & Tatsumi scene at near end.

That kid was so naive it's ridiculous.
At least he caught a lucky break rather fast.
Or so he thought...
And got up to speed with current events in a blink of an eye.
Night Raid was pretty awesome.
Damn, they all need to die.
Will give this one a try.
