I'd be home around 12:00 my time (as in 21 and a half hours from point of this post) if you want to watch together. We had a time change a couple days ago... so that should be 24+1, so 01:00am for you if that was a germany only thing. But like you said, Wednesday/Thursday was really stupid for both of us iirc. I have to get up 7am in the morning on both days, so staying up longer than 24:00 for me would be tough and wasn't really good for you either. | ||

Just sad to see that kind of comments about the series at this point considering that it only gets worse~ | ||

zzzz, not sure why I thought it'd be a good idea to watch this to "prepare" my body for Mononoke. Should have just watched Bake Neko and ignored the first 8 episodes of...zzz At least I got to see a god turn into a b50 bomber though. That was amusing. | ||

Only "not comically bad" guys were Bols/BetterAkame/Tatsumiclone.

I wouldn't even call the Jaegers the "bad" guys, there are merely hired help. Looking at the actual bad guys of the story you get all the nobles(that minister guy that is always eating meat wtf) and wealthy people who the show goes to great lengths show how evil they are. The show isn't gray at all. It reminds me more of Robin Hood honestly. Akame's whole "this is the right thing to do that's why I left" really gives me Robin Hood vibes. | ||

The show isn't gray at all. It reminds me more of Robin Hood honestly. Akame's whole "this is the right thing to do that's why I left" really gives me Robin Hood vibes. Early efforts at painting the night raid as doing necessary evil for a greater cause failed pretty quickly because for whatever reason everyone they kill is evil. Well, whatever at that, just a bit of waste of time that didn't look like it was gonna pan out. So next we use Jaegars and put it with a mix of evil, crazy people and people with common sense. To at least make the enemy side comparable to protagonists and pave road to people switching sides as necessary. That's mostly a thing as long as Tatsumiclone and Kurome are alive, too bad it didn't actually go anywhere either because I guess someone is trying too hard to avoid cliche situations. Now oops, everything is just people with a greater purpose beating down on bads. The idea to make gray zones is there, the execution just never panned out because...idk. Easier to introduce new baddies and kill them I suppose. That leaves us with the current dismal state of the manga. But hey, at least at this point in time they kinda tried to avoid it from being like that. Kinda.

I dont think I enjoyed any of the characters for a while now. Akame is about as important as a random tree in the background. And Kurome is the only character in the series that exhibits anything interesting which is actually pretty sad. Didnt bother with the anime, but I doubt its hard to regurgitate the source material on this one. I was surprised that they didn't try to conserve characters there. Was expecting a switch of sides to drag things out more. Writer not even pretending to remember the talk about not introducing reinforcements now lol. | ||

I dont think I enjoyed any of the characters for a while now. Akame is about as important as a random tree, also probably because her power is pretty boring. Kurome is the only character in the series that exhibits anything interesting which is actually pretty sad. Didnt bother with the anime, but I doubt its hard to regurgitate the source material on this one. I think the device was pretty straightforward, introduce morally grey good guys -> introduce bad guys with a sprinkling of redeemable bad guys led by Hisoka style female (granted diff motivations) -> introduce worse bad guys -> redeemable bad guys question side. And naturally when there are so many conflicts of interest the grey will just seep in automatically. All the while the really bad guys are chilling as some sort of final boss that we will get to at some point in the not so near future. Or so it was supposed to be the case. Its pretty stupid though. Doesnt offer much more than inertia reading at this point. | ||
