Akame Ga Kill

I have heard some people actually complaining about this show, but I really like it. Of course I'm biased because I love RPGs and it's been clear since Tatsumi made his first appearance holding a sword with those slightly oversized gloves. Sorry folks, but I'm so used to seeing those in JRPGs, from FF Tactics to Wild Arms 2, I can't help but assume it's an RPG. And then there are casual mentions here and there of experience and leveling up. If there's anything to complain about it's that it's a messed up harem anime, and by messed up I mean, all the girls in the harem die. Well, everyone dies, it's in the name for crying out loud.

So here's the deal if you haven't been watching, Tatsumi has been a big fish in a small pond who gets so full of himself he heads to the imperial capital to make something of himself only to find out thta he is less than nothing there and almost gets killed by some sadistic bastards who prey on vagrants like himself. But then he gets rescued by Night Raid, well, maybe rescue is a strong word. Night Raid is a group of assasins who happened to assasinate the people who would have hurt Tatsumi before they can hurt him. Tatsumi decides to join Night Raid when they give him the option that he join them, be their little house bitch, or die. Night Raid are a very special group because they have Imperial Arms, special items made by an ancient emperor who founded the emipre they live in and are fighting against right now. Right now the empire is ruled by a young emperor who is being manipulated by a very evil man who wants the power of the Imperial Arms to himself. Night Raid is mostly composed of women, but they are deadly badass women with their own reasons for having become cold ruthless killers. There's also two guys, one of whom is gay, but in a cool way, and a pervert who was most likely recruited simply because he likes being surrounded by hot women no matter how deadly.The gay guy has an Imperial Arm that is a special suit of armor that can be summoned through a sword, so you can fight with the sword as the sword, or trade it for armor of invincibility and a spear. Sadly this guy dies, but on the upside, Tatsumi inherits this Imperial Arm and becomes th newest badass in Night Raid. As for all the women, they all seem to be hot for Tatsumi, but show it in different ways, from tsundere to yandere. Tatsumi seems to be most attracted to Akame, but she's scared to love because everyone she loves dies. Aside from this basically the emperor hunts Night Raid and brings in ever nastier assasins of his own. Right now the wierdest assasin is Esdeath, some crazy ice witch who is a sociopath but loves Tatsumi.
