The Empire and its rulers are so sadistic that you don't even think twice about supporting Tatsumi and his group of assassins trying to take them out. It's your stereotypical "underdog rebels versus an evil empire" kind of story. Outside of the exciting action, the story is lacking. Unfortunately, that's about all this anime has going for it. There is some satisfaction in seeing the vigilante underdogs take out the particularly heinous characters. The art and animation are good, and the fight scenes are the best part of the series. He has a strong sense of justice and wants to bring down the wicked empire. Tatsumi and the rest of the main cast are likeable enough despite having stereotypical shonen anime personalities. Akame ga Kill! is a somewhat shallow but entertaining series. This dark fantasy series contains some exciting fights (and lots of blood and gore), but doesn't really offer any thought-provoking themes.
