Akame ga KILL

[Kraco]

That's dumb. Esdeath would have destroyed the ENTIRE Rebel army before the day was even done. They'd have lost before she needed to eat or sleep.

Only if the rebel army had continued to be stupid enough to charge heedlessly like a headless chicken.

Kinda odd that a "guy" in Incursio's Body Armor was shown alongside Bulat and Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid right before the credits.

Leone's death made me *really* sad, probably the one which had the biggest impact on me... but the reason why and how it came to be was arbitrary

I can't say I dislike this ending... it's a really good one by itself, I like them a bit sad and dark. It's just that the way towards it was rushed and all.... and it's not really hard to pinpoint the moment when it started to happen

Poor Akame, even Batman got lucky compared to her.
She lost *everyone* and has no where to go. One might think she took her own life after that, just to be reunited with everyone... and no one could blame her for doing so.
Thinking about it brings a tear into my eye. Fuk.....

Now that this is over, I highly recommend that you all read the manga from the point that Bols died. That's where the real developments start. Tatsumi's capture is still cannon but played out way differently.

Seconded. The manga pacing is much better, and not a random kill fest that the anime became.

[DarthEnderX]

So, the manga is still going right? At least, I assume it must be, otherwise why diverge the anime from it in the first place.

[shinta|hikari]

Yes it is.

I must chime in that, aside from the omissions and additions from the source material and the last few episodes being overall weak, this ending was handled well. Closure for all of the characters (even the young emperor) and an end state that should satisfy those with no desire to read the manga are all I could really ask for and they was delivered.

Closure for all of the characters

Hack anime writing in a nutshell. "When can't write good, substitute death for actual closure. Create closure for everyone by killing every characters!"

[Buffalobiian]

It works though, particularly in a show where character deaths aren't one-in-a-million.
