I would not count subtlety among AGK's virtues
Quinneapolis
He gets murdered six seconds after this scene, which was his introductory scene
Princess Emily
is this the level of subtlety we can expect from uplift project,
Quinneapolis
pretty much
Tyra
what show is this
Quinneapolis
Akame ga Kill
Quinneapolis
it's... I like it a lot
Quinneapolis
which is to say it's quite bad
Gabiluzbad
I would describe Akame ga Kill as an F-Rank show with an S-Rank cast
Quinneapolis
I love almost every character in this garbage trainwreck
Gabiluzbad
I love all of them except for Esdeath who was just Too Much
Quinneapolis
Esdeath sucks
Gabiluzbad
The author CLEARLY liked her
Quinneapolis
even aside from being just exhaustingly boringly invincible
dragon time
Quinneapolis
and aside from all the scenes where she kidnaps the main character to try and fuck him
Gabiluzbad
Like she's not even compelling as a villain
dragon time
I'm still salty about how much official merch features esdeath with her shoes off
Quinneapolis
I've just never been a fan of the whole "evil dominatrix lady who does femdom shit to her enemies" thing
Gabiluzbad
me neither
Quinneapolis
also a big part of why I dropped Fire Force
Gabiluzbad
Just how Fire Force treated girls in GENERAL wasn't great
dragon time
It feels like the femme equivalent to The Joker archetype
Quinneapolis
anyway Seryu just did a good job, defeating evil
Quinneapolis
all of those people were evil
Quinneapolis
she promises
dragon time
I like half of Esdeaths character and I also like that she's in love with the hero but is also like
dragon time
She loves killing people more
dragon time
Once she finds out that he's on the enemy side she does not soften up out of true love one bit
Quinneapolis
Esdeath: "I'll do anything for you, my love"
Tatsumi: "Kill fewer people"
Esdeath: "no"
oh i'm scary
Esdeath was the most popular character by an order of magnitude when the series had a fanbase and this is clearly part of what went wrong
oh i'm scary
with her fifty stupid powerups
Quinneapolis
I gather she got much worse with it in the manga
oh i'm scary
yeah
oh i'm scary
Powerset: Elsa but even more of an AoE nuke, super strong melee fighter
oh i'm scary
addendum: can fly, using ice wings
oh i'm scary
addendum: can literally freeze time, using coldness, which is almost gloriously stupid enough to not be annoying
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
is he bleeding from the mouth with that wine or is he just really bad at drinking
oh i'm scary
addendum: can make an entire fucking army of autonomous ice robots
Quinneapolis
he has a drinking problem
oh i'm scary
I feel like I'm forgetting a step here
oh i'm scary
but the robots were REALLY stupid
oh i'm scary
like
oh i'm scary
in a "get off her dick" way
oh i'm scary
she was a flying Elsa Dio max level companion build
oh i'm scary
by the end
Gabiluzbad
Who was also a max level melee fighter, if memory serves
oh i'm scary
yes
oh i'm scary
her main stats are Strength and Agility and Mind and Spirit and Resolve
oh i'm scary
which, to be fair
oh i'm scary
is a nice enemy for Akame
oh i'm scary
whose powerset is
oh i'm scary
Have Sword
oh i'm scary
and she's JUST THAT GOOD
TWO OF THEM
IM STILL SALTY ABOUT THE TIME FREEZE,
TWO OF THEM
FOR REASONS THAT ARE PROBABLY OBVIOUS
dragon time
The time freeze was hilarious
Gabiluzbad
AgK just
Gabiluzbad
has a bad plot
dragon time
Fuck it she can just do this now
TWO OF THEM
you know what though? it literally didnt even kill him when she used it. she had to try again.
dragon time
Also she can't be disarmed because she drank her entire superweapon
TWO OF THEM
so at least there was that.
TWO OF THEM
LMAO YEAH
dragon time
She's Obelix falling into the cauldron as a baby
MundersOWundus
it's like, really good garbage
BERSERKER
I'm mad that Esdeath isn't just a large tree gentleman with a blurred out face because of copyright laws
BERSERKER
that name is similar enough that I want the awful pun/allusion/bootleg instead of what AGK had
TWO OF THEM
piping hot take: esdese was the better name
TWO OF THEM
though then it wouldn't have been, as we bring the plurk full circle,
TWO OF THEM
as unsubtle as it was
Quinneapolis
a lot of the really fun parts of AGK are just cartoonishly evil people going "I LOVE BEING CARTOONISHLY EVIL" moments before being eviscerated
Gabiluzbad
It's good every time
Princess Emily
i wish that happened irl,
oh i'm scary
we talk about the Wild Hunt chapters being really brutally excessively grotesque and triggery, and they are,
oh i'm scary
but like, they gave us Run torturing a clown and Wave Four Page Ora-ing Shura
Gabiluzbad
That shit was gross and unnecessary but at least it had PAYOFF
Gabiluzbad
I never actually read the ending
Gabiluzbad
or watched
Gabiluzbad
By all accounts it sounded stupid
Gabiluzbad
Though the epilogue was pretty fantastic
oh i'm scary
there's never a need for on-page rape in your dumb grimdark action manga but if you're gonna have a canon rapist you can at least have a good boy punch his skull into a different shape
TWO OF THEM
please clarify that they gave us run torturing a pedophile clown specifically. he needs all the credit he can muster bc the anime stripped him of anything resembling a personality, or presence
