I know this anime gets a lot of hate, but I wanna know as a 14 year edgy teenager, wasn't it like the best story ever? I watched it when I was 14 and then, I rewatched it 3 times in a month. I wanna what was your reaction when you watched this masterpiece?

I know it isn't like the best show but when I started using MAL I just rated it 10/10 because I remember it being good. Akame is best girl.

It might have been as an edgy teenager.
Even as not an edgy teenager it's still somewhat decent. The biggest problem is anime original ending. Best part about this anime was obviously Esdeath. Sadly, she couldn't be fixed.
If you want an actual, edgy anime, then you should check out Kingdom of Ruin, which is by the same author.

Yeah really love esdeath,akane and all the characters are well written that eye patched leader too...and have emotional impact too on deaths specially just it will be more good if the adapted the manga ending
Also I have a question why there are these types of AOE, only for leaving a hope for season 2 with anime original story?

I definitely think it is underrated. It’s one of those shows that you finish in one or two days because it is so thrilling. Yeah sure it’s not the most well written story but it is pretty entertaining.

You should read the manga. It goes anime only after like episode 12. Lubbock was more hardcore in the manga. And the whole ending is different. Good anime but the manga did all the characters more justice.

I have rated it 6/10. Then again, it has been 30 years since I was a 14 years old edgy teenager and I watched this anime maybe 6 months ago, so there is that.

I gave it a 6/10. It was somewhat less better than Code Geass, which was in my opinion another deluge of anime tropes. But I guess it's kinda my fault for watching an old show, where the tropes probably originated from

I too once thought like this, especially after that Takumi's last stand. Give it a min and you'll give it a 7 or 8 like everyone else

First thing first I gave it a 10/10 and probably if I watched it again it would lower, not by much but definitely lower, second did you rate the anime a 1 because you thought the manga was better because that is an ass reason, if you changed opinion or literally any other thing I can completely understand

I hated this anime because I read the manga. The manga about half-way through twisted and changed significantly. But in a good way, so different ending but same plot just the path to that was significantly better in my opinion.

I can't praise the anime at all but the manga is definitely one of my favorites

Well....you're 14.

The reason why a lot of people don't rate it as high is you is that they're not, anymore :)
And Im sure your rating will drop, growing up. Maybe it won't.



But for now:
Enjoy :) You're the target audience and Im glad that you liked it.

The Kingdom of Ruin is so bad. The story is insanely over the top. I usually like protagonists who aren't 'heroes', but this one was just disappointing.

Thats your Opinion. I like Adonis and Doroka so much, their Journey was really interesting and I keep wanna Support it. one Cursed World in they live in, the series did turn out way different than I expected, but that alone makes this series special. Will definetly rewatch it soon again.

@Frieza928 I didn't said Kingdom of Ruin is good. Mostly because it was so edgy, that it seemed like it was written by a 12 yo going through a phase. Especially that protagonist, who was straight up a villain.

it really depends on what you prefer. I liked Adonis and Doroka's Journey and thats what it makes this anime special. the author is Good in my eyes.

It was really annoying because they tried to be serious about the whole killing thing and ironically enough irritated people nore than stories wherebprotagonists never kill.
i even remember during the last episodes when the knights of the empire refused to surrender and the protags were like "guess we got not choice, we have to kill them" and I was like...or you could just hit them really hard in the head...you know, you are dozens of times stronger than all of them, no one will hate you of some die, but damn was that line edgy and unnecessary. Also it was annoykng how the pink haired girl survived a huge explosion at one point knly for her to somehow die few episodes later from a much smaller one. It was clear that the author just wanted to kill most of the protags to make the story sad BUT THE DEATHS WERE FORCED SO IT SEEMED DUMB RATHER THAN SAD. Blonde girl gets killed by a weakling with a deus ex machina, Green dude conviniently still dies after beating a bad guy cause he decided not to look where he lands when he entered a portal. Sokehow, specifically their leader, who was supposed to die cause of her weapon's conditions survives... Also why do so many people like Esdeath? She is an emotionally unstable maniac with serious issues?...do people really fetishize this kind of thing so much?

The Esdeath part - really strong, hot, busty dommy babe is enough for people to like her. It's basically the exact same thing like with Makima from CSM pretty much.

Facts. Esdeath was my first boner back in the day, where I found it hot that she was so domineering.

I used to think it was pretty good as well, and was the anime that got me started in the hobby.

I rewatched it and it was total shit lol, beyond the edgy masquerade there was just flat characters, poor worldbuilding, cheap choreography and esdeath fanservice. It's literally Higurashi if it was written by a 14yo.

The second opening is fire tho.
