Akame Ga Kill (First Impressions) [No Spoilers, Will Talk About Episodes Near End and What I Think]

Synopsis
  To start off this review ill just give a brief summary of the story to let you understand what i will be talking about in the next couple of paragraphs. If you have already watched the first 4 episodes of the anime you can just skip this paragraph since you know what the story is about! So Akame Ga Kill is a brand new anime that came from a more or less popular manga (like most anime) and it is set in a fantasy world. In this world you have your main character, Tatsumi, who has a mission with three of his friends and they go on a journey to the capitol to make money for their poor village. What Tatsumi soon finds out is that the capitol is full of corruption, the cause for this corruption is the prime minister who is controlling the child emperor. After Tatsumi realizes this, after some crazy stuff happens he joins a group of assassins known as Night Raid.

   
Characters (Bad Ass Levels = Over 9000)
     This is simply one of the best parts of Akame Ga Kill. It is quite hard to explain when you haven't watched the anime but man oh man i can tell you this! Firstly the characters are individually amazing, ill give an example using Akame. (One Of The Assassins) Akame  is a very quiet girl who is simply mysterious, i find myself wanting to watch this anime to see what she is going to do next and how she will react to certain events that will come. The more you watch the show the more you learn about Akame and what you learn may surprise you! Now I am not going to fully give it away because i truly do want you to watch the anime to find out for yourself. For everyone that has watched the anime, you know what i mean ;) The second thing about the characters that i love is that even though they are so different from each other they work together so perfectly it's incredible! Oh ya and one of the characters brings lots of plot into the story...



Animation (Little Bit Disappointed Q_Q)
     Now one little thing that i would like to talk about is the animation in this series, man oh man. Now it isn't anything horrendous but i am still a little disappointed due to the fact that this anime is new and it is part of the big Summer 2014 season. Now if you aren't used to watching anime then meh who could care less it looks like anime and it is anime its all good. but compare to some anime that are coming out at the same time as Akame Ga kill, they completely crush it. One example is Sword Art Online II, this anime has always had nice animation since its first installment last year. AND another anime that didn't even come out in the Summer 2014 season is No Game No Life that anime really hit the beauty spot with animation as I pointed out in my last review. Now this isn't anything major but just thought i should bring it up.



Murder... YES MURDER (Perfect)
     There are fight scenes, there is murder, i like...


Final Thoughts!
So all in all i know this review did not make the anime seem as good as the No Game No Life anime review but i must say, this anime will be an anime up there in this years Summer season, I have read the manga and i can say that i truly can't wait to see how the anime works it out and truly portrays the story. So I do highly recommend this anime to anyone out there looking for an action packed anime to start off with.


[WARNING SPOILERS BELOW]
So for everyone that has watched the anime I would like to just talk a little bit about each episode and what i think and hope you guys feel the same way.

Episode 1: First off i would like to say, best way to open the anime, just boom there's a beast and a little kid comes along and kills it with some pretty nice gore, i must say bravo sir bravo. The first about 5 minutes  were a little dull after that but 5 minutes is nothing to actually well develop a story line and that was nice that they managed to do that and i like how they also explained the story during all the action scenes this was a really good way to keep me entertained and yet still know what was going on

Episode 2: Now this episode was okay i think they more so used it to put in some more plot development which is completely understandable but once again they put some action in the episode and so comedy as well to keep the viewers entertained. I think the funniest scene was where Akame takes off Tatsumi's clothes at the end to make sure he didn't have any scratches, i don't know why but it made me laugh xD

Episode 3: The 3rd episode i just want to talk about how they made the ending. i personally loved how they ended the episode off with such a suspense scene and that scene just made me so excited to see episode 4. It was just so epic how he just beheaded those 2 guards with one swift attack.

Episode 4: This episode was really nice because all the mysteries of Zank The Executioner were answered and man was that one hell of a fight. Now I want to know the story behind who Akame saw in her vision!
