Dies irae

I hear someone has already rechristened this show Akame ga Hitler. Why give it that nickname in particular? Well, probably because there are a ton of fight scenes, straightforward action, and people die in the show too. There is an order of thirteen superhumans whose origins can be traced back to the Third Reich (at least according to the contents). It is all played for effect, with the main point being to shock and captivate the audience with epic fight scenes and unexpected twists. Well yeah, but I understood what was going on in Akame ga Kill!, it also had a good atmosphere, and the characters' deaths always touched me somehow. In this show, the atmosphere is completely lacking; the narrative is full of weird nonsense that my head cannot get itself around, even though I tried to concentrate. Plus, I did not manage to develop a relationship with the characters even halfway through the season. So I am quitting after the sixth episode because I have not figured out what the swastika, the guillotine, and perhaps déjà vu have in common, and I probably do not want to find out anymore. A little advice in conclusion - if you want lots of action, thrilling fight scenes, lots of bizarre situations, plus tons of killing Nazis of a higher standard, then you better get the new Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus game and forget about this anime series. Dropped after the sixth episode and 3/10. (20.11.2017)
