I'm not sure I'd ever call the writing in this series good. Serviceable, sure. Willing to surprise you (with sudden character deaths) sure. This series is violent action schlock, and is probably the closest we'll ever get to the ultraviolent OVAs from the 80s and 90s, and that's why I love it.

I'm not sure what you're asking specifically, there's been mangas with way more violent and graphic poo poo than Akame recently.

Can Mine die already?!??

1) What did she ever do to you 2) I mean, probably because Esdeath still has her bullshit time stop power.

Well they're already way into anime original by changing how the assassination goes and skipping what killed like 8 bosses.

I don't think Esdeath has the Time Freeze powers, because they skipped over the entire arc which forced her to reveal it.

Akame getting anything at this point would be enough because it stopped being about her like after the 1st arc.

Welp, it's been a while since a show went Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 on me. Latest chapter:

Everyone is alive, Tatsumi can counter the time freeze, Mine's obviously alive

It's a lot of weird stuff to split from, since bud was written as the only equal to esdeath.

Wave has been teetering forever, though ironically turning in the anise because there was no wild arc.

Well, Wave has been in the manga as a more refined and powerful Tatsumi, except Tatsumi just showed he can counter Esdeath's (1st) ultimate technique so...gently caress who knows.

Akame was created solely to end any villain because her sword is a bullshit one-touch kill. Akame is going to prick her finger on it somehow and the show ends.

So the author apparently tweeted that the anime crew didn't talk at all about story ideas for the last 7 episodes, so I guess there's that small nugget.

I wonder how much input the author had on those last episodes. Since the manga is still going. Possibly a hint on what's to come?

0. The author tweeted that he had no input for the last 7 episodes, as it shows because the manga goes completely differently than the show starting at the Assassination plot.
