Her character has always been about admiring strength, so it’s just amusing to see her be this delusional. Night Raid sacrificed two lives for his sorry ass, but Esdeath is too blinded by love to see otherwise. She then praises Tatsumi for escaping death “in that dire situation.” It’s funny ’cause he didn’t do anything. Immediately after Esdeath kills some random people, the anime zooms in on her bouncing breasts. Even in its final moments, the show doesn’t know what it wants to be. After weeks and weeks of exploitative violence with hardly any thought or meaningful introspection from any of the show’s characters, they now want to really to slow things down and talk about their thoughts and feelings? It’s ludicrous. You’re just insulting your own intelligence if you make that ridiculous comparison. There’s literally no hope of changing it from the inside or any other froufrou shit Run wants to come up with.
The bad guys rape and kill their own civilians just for fun. The empire in this anime is clearly and blatantly evil. Everyone’s going to be like, “SO DO YOU THINK AMERICAN SENATORS ARE BAD PEOPLE TOO BECAUSE AMERICA HAS DONE BAD STUFF?!” C’mon, don’t be so simple-minded. I’ll join Hitler to gently guide him back to the light! I mean, he’s smart enough to realize that the kingdom is rotten, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s an accomplice. Run claims he joined the Jaegers to change the kingdom from the inside. After all, this is his stupid response: “Are we, the Jaegers, really okay with this?” Forget the Jaegers, man. So what are these two waiting for? Why are they still staying on this sinking ship? Well, I think it’s obvious: Wave is not a good person. Run even says that the kingdom won’t last much longer. Wave grudgingly admits that most of the civilians are in favor of the rebel army. It’s not brilliant, but it actually looks nice for an anime like Akame ga Kill! It’s just too bad it’s completely wasted, because the show has no solid emotional foundation. It’s a pity, too, ’cause this is a decent-looking shot. The emotional weight of the scene simply doesn’t come across. So the surviving members can look sad all they want, but it doesn’t matter. Susanoo had even less character development. Mine barely had any character development. So at the moment, we’re just going through the motions.
The show had all season to make us care for these characters. There’s nothing to really talk about here. I’m sure that’s what Mine was thinking, too. Najenda gives the flimsy excuse that they had to stop the public execution in order to protect everyone’s morale. Yo, that’s what I just asked! Do you want to write this post for me? Look, man, it’s too difficult to draw sad eyes, okay? Just slap a black gradient on their faces and call it a day.
Basically, the team exchanged both Mine and Susanoo for the bland shounen hero. But like I’ve said in last week’s comment thread, I just find this incredibly stupid. I forgot for a second that the adaptation is rushing to get everything wrapped up for the anime original ending. I guess Mine did die at the end of last week’s episode.
