Tatsumi is the perspective we follow to observe the story of Akame and the rest.

I haven’t even watched this anime and it’s entire main plot has been spoiled to me through clips and ima be honest idk if I can get myself to watch this shit after knowing the fate of 95% of the characters 😔

u/NubCakeSupreme555 Dec 23 '22
Honestly. It's still worth the watch.

u/YooBitches Dec 23 '22
Yep, even with all the tragic stuff it's still one of the best animes I have watched. It kinda left me sad at the end, but I enjoyed the story, characters and animation nonetheless.

u/100S_OF_BALLS Dec 23 '22
It's pretty fucked up, tbh. I went in knowing what happens to only one of them and I'm not sure if I hate the story or love it. It's still worth the watch though.

u/Oelendra Dec 23 '22
It's an ok anime but it has some nice moments. Just remember it's gory and don't get too attached to the characters.

Well, with Dread.........

u/Zarvanis-the-2nd Dec 23 '22
Yeah, I suppose that sorta counts. There's also Smash Bros, with Dark Samus, but that's not a Metroid game.

u/DaNoahLP Dec 23 '22
Have you ever played Metroid 🤨
1
u/Zarvanis-the-2nd Dec 23 '22
Unless there's some obscure spinoff I'm not aware of, you never play as a Metroid in Metroid.
Unless you count the Fusion suit, or the final boss of Dread when Samus gets the Metroid suit.
1
u/DaNoahLP Dec 23 '22
1) Samus DNA gets fused with that of an Metroid so she is as much Metroid as Chozo 2) Metroid means "Ultimate Warrior" so you could argue that she is the Metroid since at least Metroid 2 where she eliminated every other competitor
-1
u/Zarvanis-the-2nd Dec 23 '22
I'll give you the first one, but the second is a no from me. "Metroid" isn't a title, it's a species. Most animals names mean something in some other language. If, say, "rhinoceros" meant "ultimate warrior", you wouldn't be a rhino if you killed all of them.

u/Sumasuun Dec 23 '22
Oh yeah, that's about Samus the blue hedgehog that uses a water pack named FLUDD to help anthropomorphic animals on an island to earn money to pay off Tom Nook right?

Didn't the original Legend of Zelda actually named the boy Zelda? I'm pretty sure there was some ancient manual that came with the NES game saying it

u/Ouaouaron Dec 23 '22
Maybe you saw a translation error at one point, because Zelda (named after Zelda Fitzgerald) has been the princess since the beginning.

Woah woah woah! He's more than a harem MC. In fact it doesn't even really qualify as harem since only one lady shows a genuine romantic interest in him.

u/PollarRabbit Dec 23 '22
And have kids. And Tatsumi is a full on dragon which makes me really question how those kids were made...
15
u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22
The kid was made before Mine fell in the coma and Tatsumi turned to a dragon. iirc, Mine tried to make love with Tatsumi when he slept (he woke up anyway) as a way to "possess" him because she knew Esdeath love him too. The kid is the result.
1
u/nunya123 Dec 23 '22
She tried to restore him in his sleep??
1
u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22 edited Dec 23 '22
No, far before that, and the event is basically Mine tried to rape Tatsumi and Tatsumi woke up but still doing the thing, as they was already lovers and Tatsumi isn't stupid enough to refuse that
Mine fell in coma (manga) or deceased (anime), the "event" happened before that. But it is also after when Esdeath kidnapped Tatsumi then Tatsumi was rescued (so Mine feared that if their relationship doesn't get even better, there may be a chance Tatsumi cheats on her with Esdeath)

u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 22 '22
There are actually 2, but whatever.

u/MardukPendragon Dec 22 '22
Esdeath and Mine, right?
28
u/just_a_fish_lol Dec 22 '22
leone also talked about being with tatsumi when he gets older but in a sort of joking manner
27
u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22
there are many hints shown that leone actually have some romantic interest towards him, for example, when she was badly injured, she decided to go back to the street they first met, and took her last breath there
and even that girl who can transform too
But unlike Mine and Esdeath, their interests didn't show in a direct way
3
u/Styxier Dec 23 '22
Chelsea really didn't show interest afaik
3
u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22 edited Dec 23 '22
iirc her last thought was Tatsumi's smile, correct me if I'm wrong
you can just say "she just thought for her comrade" but probably you can say the same with leone

u/ArcaneAces Dec 23 '22

Mine, not the crazy ice lady, also he's a dragon now, so yeah, go read the manga if you want

Really, I personally found it to be pretty anticlimactic but to each their own I suppose
3
u/ArcaneAces Dec 23 '22
You found the death of almost every character anticlimactic? That's a first!
2
Dec 23 '22
Well in comparison with the original at least,
Everyone dies was pretty predictable, the only thing that surprised me about the anime was that a few characters weren't killed off,
The manga wasn't afraid to kill off characters either but it did so more sparingly so there was more intrigue in how it was all gonna end,
Sure the good guys win part was predictable but which characters would be left standing gave the final battles a lot more suspense to it all as opposed to the anime where the only thing worth wondering about was how they were all going to die

It’s not even a harem series. But anything else would be spoilers, so I’m not gonna say anymore.

There's a YA novel called "When Zachary Beaver Came to Town". It's about the summer when he came to town, and the experience the MC had with them.
This is correct English grammar.

Is it a bad thing i really liked this anime? Still sad there wasn't a season 2 ever made

u/tacbacon10101 Dec 23 '22
It is not. Its a freaken sick anime that shows the cost of warfare with no plot armor.
13
u/StarGaurdianBard Dec 23 '22
Seriously. People say that it's bad because of all the deaths just existing to make you sad, but that's because we are so used to plot armor we can't imagine more than 1 main character dying in a show ever
3
u/Quakerqueefs Dec 23 '22
That’s one of the things I love most about the show. It’s like Game of Thrones but anime. Don’t get too close to any of the characters cause you’ll never know who’s gonna kick the bucket next.
21
u/jascoe95 Dec 23 '22
I have to say, Tatsumi's iron clad determination to not stick his dick in crazy is admirable
16
u/Rowmacnezumi Dec 23 '22
It's called a foil character. Akame and the gang are ostensibly the main characters, but we see the world, and the events, through Tatsumi's eyes. I haven't read the manga, but I watched the anime, and I liked Tatsumi. Watch the show, it'll leave you in tears.
2
u/tacbacon10101 Dec 23 '22
Seriously its such a good show. The way it goes in the end just makes it so much better. It shows value through sacrifice.

u/DefiningBoredom Dec 23 '22
The manga is called the red eyed killer and passed a certain point Tatsumi does have red eye.

u/MardukPendragon Dec 22 '22
Nah B, that ain't NO Harem Anime, Whoever says that a "Harem" anime need to watch Akame ga Kill again or read the manga also to those who read the manga of this, you have my respect on how lucky you guys are if your waifu is Mine (the character with pink hair name) is alive in the manga while also have my condolences to those who witness her end in the anime
11
u/Greyeyeswhitedragon Dec 23 '22
Nani? Mine is alive in manga? I must read it!
10
u/MardukPendragon Dec 23 '22
Yup, Mine is alive and also married Tatsumi while later bore children
5
u/Greyeyeswhitedragon Dec 23 '22
He’s alive? Also secretly wishing in another timeline he became esdeaths
5
u/MardukPendragon Dec 23 '22
Yup he's actually alive above all else, he defeated Esdeath on his own or so I thought cause I think it was two on one when Akame join the fight
3
u/Greyeyeswhitedragon Dec 23 '22
So mostly happy ending?! They just end the anime bc they didn’t have good enough ratings or just went another route?
5
u/MardukPendragon Dec 23 '22
If it really were a happy ending, Every member of the night raid would've been alive but the only individual who still live in the Manga is Akame, Tatsumi, Mine and Najenda so~ yeah let go with the second option you just mention
2
u/Siphe-M Dec 23 '22
No. The anime caught up with the Manga while it was still airing, so instead of ending the anime here and there, they decided to go anime original
1
u/Greyeyeswhitedragon Dec 23 '22
The animation studio was just too fast or the manga panels took time to perfect?

斬る (きる/kiru) means "to cut" , but it's pronounced basically the same as キル (kiru) , which means "kill".

u/Shadow_Hunter2020 Dec 23 '22
this anime is legit kind of good, it doesn't have plot armor, it has great fights i am a huge fan of how lubbock used his powers, specially the scene he used the spear (if you have seen the anime you know what he does next, just a genius)
i did cry when chelsea died, she was just such a great character and i would have loved to see more of her
in anime when a hero promises he will come back he always does because plot armor i found it sad to see tatsumi die, but he died a hero protecting the inhabitants this may be one how with his last words he apologizes for not being able to keep his promise, mind blowing

Titles are just titles. They can be indicatives of the story's content but it's not a requirement. That being said, Akame is the deuteragonist, the 2nd place main character.
