Anything and everything Esdeath was the best part of this episode, and no one can convince me otherwise.
I'm not trying to. I love Esdeath.
I just love waki more. It's a personal thing.
Peace.
Then you are going to love the next episode. All dat Esdeath.
Esdeath is the best dere. ever.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
This is my favorite show this season. As much as I loved SAO S1, this blows S3 out of the water. Aldnoah Zero was a top contender until the ending.
I'm glad they didn't take the Wolf's Rain route and kill off a character per episode.
Episode 14 - HS
- -- - -
I can't really blame Tatsumi for giving up on trying to talk Esdeath to the rebellion's side, despite the fact logic alone might offer some possibilities, such as more strong enemies to fight or that choosing the empire's side is like hiding in its big shadow like a weakling. But in the end Tatsumi is a naive idealist and I reckon he thinks he's only working for the absolute greater good with the rebellion, even when he needs to slay (bad) people. So, he wouldn't see somebody like Esdeath who kills for fun fitting in, even if the end result was the same (the rebellion winning). I bet the rebellion has all kinds of scumbags in its ranks, the same as every army, so it's good luck for Tatsumi to belong to the small, limited assassin group where the members seem like pretty decent people all in all.
Akame seemed to possess pretty nice curves according to the preview. I hope Tatsumi gets to share some time with her as well.
I was relieved to see Tatsumi let Esdeath know about the portal. If he didn't, she surely would have made her way back one way or another and I don't think even he would be let off the hook for pulling a move like that.
Oh Esdeath, why are thou unreachable?!
I had some alternative interpretations when Esdeath revealed she had Beast blood, then suggested that Tatsumi ride one.
Dunno where you were looking Kraco.
Fairy Tail's Gray should learn a thing or two from Esdeath. That is how you control ice.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I simply hope Tatsumi and Akame become a pair. So, I commented on Akame here. That's all. Naturally I looked at them all.
Honestly, as bad as the situation is, Esdeath X Tatsumi is several orders of magnitude better.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I can't even deny that, at the moment, because Esdeath x Tatsumi is getting whole episodes worth of development whereas Akame is getting so little screen time that they might as well drop her name from the series title. Besides, there hasn't actually been any Akame x Tatsumi in the show so far. It's just my shipping based on absolutely nothing, if not the fact they are apparently the two main characters.
Interestingly, both Esdeath and Akame have these "flips" in their personality where one moment they'll appear cold, but later they're revealed to be nice and much more human. The way it's effectively done differs quite a bit though. When Akame "flips", we think Oh, you're actually a nice girl, aren't you. When Esdeath "flips", we think You, girl, are cute as !@#$. A little dere goes a long way.
Kraco's right. Esdeath has had more character development than Akame. The only important things we know about Akame are:
1) she cares about her friends
2) she likes to eat
Stuff like her sister, her assassin camps have all been revealed but none of that matters right now.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Esdeath and Tatsumi's view of life, ideals, and morals (and also ethics) are totally incompatible, though. Tatsumi strives to be nice but strong, values his friends and wants to help them, he wants to protect the weak thinking it's his job as a strong fighter. Esdeath enjoys killing anyone, probably including her allies if it was a good challenge. The weak are nothing but fodder for the strong. Anybody who dies deserved to die. If she's sometimes nice, it's due to her own curiosity and desire, probably the pride of ownership (command) as well. Her infatuation with Tatsumi is highly greedy and selfish.
Her only 'redeeming' quality is that she does care greatly about her subordinates. Even if that is because of the fact that they would be more willing to die for her as she herself said.
It's really difficult to not like Esdeath at this moment.
A job well done if you ask me... she is really not a person you "should" like, but they made me forget most of her bad sides in this episode.
Can't wait to see Leone next week, she's Assassin No. 1 in my bingo book.
Both Akame and Esdeath are out of luck btw, she marked Tatsumi as her own already - a kiss or two can't undo this!
I actually feel like she might be the next or the one after the next to die.
HS - Episode 15

I was going to suggest that Chelsea (disguised as Najenda in the decoy party) was going to die soon because her cat form was already seen once. However, both Wave and Kurome are fighting Akame's group so her form shouldn't be recognisable. She still wouldn't be able to fend off Esdeath in a real fight though, so she'd better hope she can bail out like last time. This "information leak" doesn't sound good.

16 is out.
What an episode!
Kurome's necromantic Imperial arms is pretty crazy. She was basically doing all the fighting alone, with the sole exception of Akame, until the zombies finally started to drop. She would have been even more dangerous without the monsters, not counting the giant skeletal dragon thing, but with a full team of strong humanoid zombies. Of course she's not too shabby with her sword either.
In any case Night Raid seems a bit weak all in all. Based on this they would have been really hard-pressed against Esdeath's full team, even without Esdeath herself. With Esdeath around, it wouldn't even have been a proper fight. But I suppose they might have a chance against Esdeath alone since all it takes is a single cut from Akame. The rest would only serve as a distraction to allow that single cut.
