Episode 3 - HS

Dunno, the main character is still pretty naive, although he's slowly being educated in the ways of the ruthless world.
The country in general seems a bit strange. Like the very first corrupt family. Why exactly were they torturing and killing all those people? The episode made it sound like it was just for fun, which sound dubious. The subsequent episodes furthermore painted a similar picture. Generally speaking the wealth/power disparity should be greater than we have seen if the summary killings and torture were used to keep the common folks under absolute terror and oppression. As things seem to be in this case, such wickedness typically means there's some demon or whatever behind it all, and thus there would be another purpose behind the bloody work. I do hope the larger reason doesn't end up being just for fun as that would be quite weak writing for the villains (it would work for the occasional psychopath, but not for all the upper class).
I like all the main characters so far. I hope Akame and Tatsumi grow closer to each other, even though this being a shounen show I guess nothing will happen.
Who was the girl in the preview? Just an illusion created by some illusionist enemy?
