It'd be like if Anakin and Obi Wan stopped fighting to deal with a lava monster that appeared out of nowhere and then started fighting again.

You underestimate MAI POWAH!

 

[ramoisdead]

They really grabbed that sack of tired anime cliches/tropes and just fucking smeared it all over this episode, didn't they.

 

[Line_HTX]

A NICE DAY FOR A...

WHITE WEDDING~

 

[Doctor Decimate]

that scream delivery

 

[Shard]

So I suppose I should note this is not how things went down in the manga.

 

[ckohler]

Akame ga-cha Killed.

 

[Jarate]

RIP AKAMES SISTER

 

[Grexeno]

Uh yes it was.

 

[Zonic]

Wow, this is just like a Toei show. The title only happened in the episode near the end.

 

[mightynine]

Heh, Saltybet just cued up Toonami bump music,

 

[GaimeGuy]

 

[ShinRPGamer]

And back to normal, right in time for the sister's death.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

My Little Sister Can't Be This Dead.

 

[BatDan]

Things go much differently in the manga.

 

[Soulflarz]

stab her again

SHOULDVE DEBATED STOPPING THIS EARLIER YOU IDIOT

 

[ramoisdead]

I hate Akame.
I hate Tatsumi.
I hate Jager Tatsumi.
I hate this show.

 

[Line_HTX]

Die, little sister.



Also, I hate Kirino.

 

[TheOGB]

I wasn't even watching this episode and this scene is corny as fuck lol

 

[Crocodile]

Of course it starts raining LOL

I will say admit that brief bit of sword-fighting animation at the end was sweet <3

Wave: "Was there no other way to resolve this?"

Well yes, the sisters could have just talked things out like adults but anime is going to anime *shrug*

Basic filmmaking principle. When action is established between two characters/things/whatever on camera, the camera should remain on one side of an imaginary line between the two. This establishes spatial relationships and keeps the audience oriented in the fictional world.

Of course, like any rule, especially in art, it's made to be broken, but you should only be breaking it with deliberate intent. For example, if something spooky or surreal is happening and you want to deliberately put the audience on edge, you can try breaking the line.

The way AGK was doing it earlier, though, was just sloppy camera work as two characters talked and the camera just changed perspective all over the place for no reason.

By the way, talking about the minutiae of cinematography is way more entertaining than what's going on on-screen.

Ok cool, thanks. This was more mentally stimulating than the entirety of this episode so far.

 

[redmetal86]

What is he fighting foooooooor?

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

"I should of been the one to fill your dark soul with LIGHT."

 

[ckohler]

"If you can't find a reason to fight, you shouldn't be fighting."

So deep.

 

[Hellwarden]

 

[Seda]

wow I was totally spacing out and missed the fight conclusion lol

 

[SigmasonicX]

So I suppose I should note this is not how things went down in the manga.

I mean, this episode aired a while before they actually fight in the manga.

Also, dat speech from Akame

 

[Raxus]

RIP Wave.

Forever thirsty.

Spoiler

Unless you are in the manga. Then you get a happy ending...maybe.

 

[Man God]

I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light!

 

[Schadenfreude]

You're gonna carry that Kurome, Wave.

My Little Sister Can't Be This Dead.

Nice.

 

[grandjedi6]

BAD SHOW, BAD

 

[Doctor Decimate]

the fact that they think we care about these characters gets under my skin more than anything else i think

 

[TUSR]

My Little Sister Can't Be This Dead.

 

[Shard]

I feel nothing.

 

[BatDan]

Shouldn't Kurome have black marks all over her body? I mean, Akame's sword spreads black marks all over their body when it cuts them.

NICE JOB BREAKING THE RULES!

Sentai's weak direction really isn't helping...

 

[Mizerman]

My Little Sister Can't Be This Dead.

Hahahaha!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

[Crocodile]

Oh great, kid emperor is going to do something stupid :/

So I suppose I should note this is not how things went down in the manga.

Things go much differently in the manga.

Knowing how the manga seems to go I'm guessing it involved rape?

Or was it actually well done in the manga?
