A "shounen" protag finds out his friends that he was going onto a journey with were brutally tortured, he has no qualms with killing in the first episode, and it doesn't turn out like a typical shounen protags adventure is supposed to play out.

And that's generic? The fuck are you guys watching.

That is LITERALLY the only thing about the show that isn't generic. Clearly your fanboyism is turned up so high you can't critique the show properly.

It's arguably a flipped set-up, but even then, dead family/friends in the beginning isn't so out of the norm.

Also, I don't actually think it's generic, but I do feel it's pretty standard. It's just willing to go further than most, which is fine. Doesn't change the fact there are some legitimately great fights, solid ability variety, and of course, awesome crazy faces. It still gives off a "trying to hard to be edgy" feeling, ESPECIALLY with Wild Hunt.

I like how juxtaposed they are- Michiko being the irrational, impulsive child as she falls for random people, while Hatchin is the mature one having to do all the responsible shit taking care of herself.

I will never get over how Morty is voiced by the same guy who did this Disney cartoon called "Fish Hooks". Just such a huge contrast in shows.

I feel like dub Michiko is a lot less likable than Japanese Michiko.

That's not to say her dub is bad, just that the performance gives a bit of a different impression of her.

This week on Michiko and Hatchin:

Akame ga Kill is pretty generic outside of 1-2 things. The author Takahiro also uses reuses shit all the time (especially a certain character archtype she always looks the same) but I guess AgK isn't a porn vn so its a bit different

Yes the author does porn vns. He did Majikoi

Edit: I know what you guys mean by deconstruction but that's not what that word means, and Akame ga Kill isn't one oft hose

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

He's also the voice of Lemongrab on Adventure Time
In fact, Rick & Morty are the same voice actor.

Also I will give Akame Ga Kill props for context, it isn't like Tatsumi became a wanton killer, he just saw two of his best friends killed and/or maimed and that overwhelmed him.

Wait, the same guy who did Majikoi (which I've only heard of) did this? Well, I just learned something tonight.

Actually its not too weird, Goku has zero problems killing someone, he usually just gives them a chance. Goku really felt no remorse killing people.

Yeah, he kinda ran roughshod through the Red Ribbon Army (not that they didn't have it coming to them).

He was pretty bloodthirsty as a kid.
