Gonna bet Akame ends up dead next, via Kurome.

drat, they're getting to the religious organization arc pretty quickly. I figured they would cut the anime off at the end of it, but I'll guess they'll be doing that later.

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.

Yeah they're really speeding things up to account for the few episodes remaining. Explains why they introduced Budo when otherwise they really couldn't have gotten to him. Hopefully we'll get to see him actually fight. I wish they had animated the spiel about the scythe Teigu. It was kinda hilarious to have a few pages about this mysterious lost Teigu and then Akame just chumps the guy using it.

abaddonis posted:I'm really bummed out that they skipped a LOT of material including: While it sucks those things are skipped, otoh it looks like we'll be skipping most of Wild Hunt's antics, which were pretty boring on the whole. Plus they still animated this. I like how they changed Shura's teigu to make it more suitable for actual combat. Genocyber fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Nov 16, 2014 |

Tae posted:I don't think Esdeath has the Time Freeze powers, because they skipped over the entire arc which forced her to reveal it. Uh, she used her time freeze powers in the most recent episode. They basically combined the last part of the church arc with the current one.

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Okay, so nothing big happened, just the main character dying. Of all the characters for this show to kill off, Tatsumi did not seem likely. Well, going by the preview it seems her teigu has a trump card. My guess is she kills Esdeath but using it kills her as well.

MonsterEnvy posted:Maybe they should have just fallowed the manga or not have sped through the material they were given or aim for a 2nd season. Lots of stuff they could have done. They couldn't even get 26 episodes, there never would have been a second season. I don't get why people are so upset about the ending. It's pretty good and seems to be wrapping up all of the dangling plot threads. Only real bad episode was the Shura one.

HiveCommander posted:They skipped about 15-20 chapters of the manga, there was a ton of material there, White Fox just decided to not adapt it. They could've ended this season at the resolution of the Wild Hunt arc, and in a year's time there'd be a whole bunch more stuff to adapt. Probably not another 24-26 episodes worth, but at least another one-cour series. Except getting a second season (that's anything but right after the first) pretty much never happens with anything other than the most popular series. It was never going to get a second season so they made due with what they had, and they did a pretty good job. Not to mention that, as said above, the Wild Hunt stuff was boring. It resulted in some decent characterization of Run, Kurome, and Wave, but Wild Hunt themselves were literally just nameless mooks that happened to have actual names/unique designs, all being murderous-rapists who got killed off in like a single chapter.

Alopex posted:There is one guy in Wild Hunt whose personality gimmick can be summed up as "Not a rapist" and that tells you all you need to know about Wild Hunt. Two, technically. The other being the cannibalistic alchemist lady, so not much better.

Alopex posted:That used to be accurate, but sucking Tatsumi's blood made her hit puberty so she tried to rape him in prison with that other girl. I completely forgot about that. That in itself speaks volumes about the quality I guess. The Jaegers were good. They were complete psychos, but they all had something to their character and most were/are at least a bit sympathetic.

That was a very good final episode.

SALT CURES HAM posted:I stuck with the anime for about 5 or 6 episodes and kind of forgot about it for the most part, is it worth binge-watching now that it's done? It's pretty entertaining violent action schlock. If you like that definitely watch it.

Ytlaya posted:Their ending in the manga is...not so happy (I haven't seen the anime and am assuming you're not being sarcastic and they actually gave them a good ending in it). They live and are part of the effort to provide relief to the populace after the Revolutionary Army takes over.

MonsterEnvy posted:I did not read their side chapter. I am guessing they died somehow. I thought it happened in a main chapter. When they visit Bols' grave, the mom gets raped and murdered by the pirate, the child the same by the pedo clown.

vibratingsheep posted:Wrong one, you're talking about Bors' family. He's talking about three random girls who show up and are horrifically tortured/raped/etc. in typical AgK fashion in a side chapter that ends with Leone killing the guy who did it to them. Oh. I didn't realize since I didn't read any of the side chapters either. And have terrible reading comprehension.

Candy Dawn posted: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? For one, killing an entire army doesn't mean all that much in anime. Yeah Esdeath is powerful, moreso than anyone else alive, but she's not immune to Murasame's poison. She was significantly more powerful than Akame and pretty much destroying her in the first half of the fight, and it was Akame using her trump card that allowed her to keep pace with Esdeath and thus kill her.

I don't feel it was rushed since that's kind of the pace the show has had going since the beginning, where poo poo will just end suddenly cause they managed to kill their target or w/e.
