Story - It has a very classic story of good guys vs bad guys. Jaegers(the empire) vs Night Raid(the rebels) with each side fighting for what they think is right. In this series unlike most anime the main characters don't have plot armor and characters actually do die. I like to think of this as the not as good anime "game of thrones" where your beloved character may or may not die.
A problem I had with story is that it's called "AKAME ga kill," not Tatsumi. The story focuses primarily on Tatsumi, while granted is far more interesting than Akame who is a very plain character. But the show tries to keep reminding you that it's about Akame, but still makes the show seem to be all about Tatsumi.
Art - I really enjoyed the character designs and the costume,each character is unique and stands out which I like to see in Anime. The fight scenes I thought were animated well which is good for an action based anime.
Sound - The first intro song Skyreach is pretty good. The background music throghout the show is nothing special but it does match the mood of the show.
Character - They built this story around a bunch of tragic characters for the most part and let their stories unfold as needed. It gave the viewer a reason to care about almost every character in the show, even the antagonists. They even take the time to flesh out the antagonists and really humanizing every character and why they became who they were. So like I mentioned before, characters do die so when they die you are invested in their character. The characters is where I thought the show actually did shine and kept me watching.
Enjoyment - I think it was a solid show that kept me watching, especially to see who survives in the end of the anime. I also went ahead and read the manga that has a very different ending to the anime. In which I think i will write about in the future. Overall I think I give the anime a 7/10 as the show isn't perfect but it is quite enjoyable.
