List of Akame ga Kill! episodes
Akame ga Kill! is an anime series adapted from the manga of the same title by Takahiro and Tetsuya Tashiro. The story focuses on Tatsumi who is a young villager that travels to the Capital to raise money for his home only to discover a strong corruption in the area. The assassin group known as Night Raid recruits the young man to help them in their fight against the Empire to fight its corruption as one of their assassins.
Produced by White Fox and directed by Tomoki Kobayashi, It was broadcast in Japan on the Tokyo Metropolitan Television network from July 6, 2014 to December 14, 2014.[1][2] The anime primarily adapts the first eight volumes of the manga, while the last five episodes feature a completely original, self-contained story arc giving insight to Night Raid's efforts to destroy the Empire.
