History Anime / AkameGaKill

* AdaptationDrift: The events of the anime series were fairly close to the manga for most of the run, but it really started [[AdaptationDeviation deviating]] as it started leading to a GeckoEnding. Specifically, the main point of divergence is at "Kill the Fate"[[labelnote:note]]Episode 19 or Chapter 36[[/labelnote]].
* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: Due to the anime being produced 3 years before the manga's ending, their respective endings are fairly different. The manga actually followed much of the same plot beats from the anime's final battles, but [[spoiler:Kurome, Tatsumi and Mine]] survive to the end.

* GeckoEnding: The anime splits off into an original ending at "Kill the Fate"[[labelnote:note]]Chapter 36 / Episode 19[[/labelnote]], since [[OvertookTheManga the manga had not progressed much further than those episodes by the time the anime was produced]]. Several characters (most of both Wild Hunt, and the Rakshasa Demons, for example) ended up getting AdaptedOut to reach the anime original ending as fast as possible.

* AdaptationalRomanceDowngrade: Tatsumi's romance with Mine is cut short in the anime because unlike the manga, they don't get a RelationshipUpgrade [[spoiler:because Mine only gets to confess her love when she's dying in Tatsumi's arms]]. In the manga, on the other hand, [[spoiler:both survive and get married, with Mine being revealed to be pregnant in the final chapter]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Despite Syura being reduced to a VillainOfTheWeek, the anime actually gives him a fight with Lubbock where he uses his Teigu and even reveals his trump card. [[spoiler: In the manga his only fight did not involve him using his Teigu and he was killed off by Lubbock outside of combat.]]

* AdaptationalRomanceDowngrade: Tatsumi's romance with Mine is cut short in the anime because their RelationshipUpgrade doesn't happen [[spoiler:and Mine only gets to confess her love when she's dying in Tatsumi's arms]]. In manga, they become a couple, [[spoiler:Mine gets pregnant with Tatsumi's child, and they get married since both survive in the manga ending]].

* StupidSacrifice: The Rebellion Army's female liaison that Lubbock and Tatsumi meet in the capital in episode 20. After finding out Syura killed all of the other members, she attempts to curry favor with the latter by attempting to hold Lubbock to prevent him from escaping or attacking, in the hopes that her jailed parents would be given some clemency in exchange for assisting in stopping Night Raid. Syura "thanks" her by [[SlashedThroat cutting her throat]], as he said earlier that he didn't want anyone butting in during his fight. This sets off Lubbock's BerserkButton, and he proceeds to [[LetsGetDangerous get serious]], slicing off Syura's hand. [[spoiler:The trope comes into play when the woman manages to stab Lubbock in the back while he had the upper hand in the fight and once again asks for her parents to be freed from jail right before she dies. Syura then laughs and says her parents died some time ago in jail, before attempting to banish Lubbock into a different dimension.]]

* KillEmAll: Alongside the deaths that were featured in the manga, many characters who are presently alive (or didn't die at all) in the manga ended up being killed off in the anime. By the end of the anime [[spoiler: Akame and Najenda are all that remains of Night Raid, Wave and Run are all that remains of the Jaegers, and almost every notable supporter of the Empire not affiliated with the Jaegers have been killed.]]

* AbortedArc: The anime took out the Wild Hunt arc entirely, and [[spoiler:Syura]] ended up being nothing but an ordinary VillainOfTheWeek.

* AdaptationalWimp: Due to the anime cutting out several plot events past the Bolick Assassination arc many characters aren't as strong as they are in the manga. Esdeath [[spoiler: never obtains her levitation ability or ice calvalry]], Tatsumi [[spoiler: doesn't become strong enough to land a hit on Esdeath, withstand Maha Padma, and his final Incursio evolution isn't Tyrant]], and Budo's Teigu doesn't have a majority of its abilities from the manga. Wave is the most notable example however as a lot of his more noble traits from the manga, and [[spoiler: defeating Syura in a fist fight, being able to use Grand Chariot and Mastema, and his fight with Akame, Lubbock, and Mine]] were all removed. In fact, he doesn't get a fight with any character in the anime whatsoever, with the exception of two brief skirmishes with Susanoo and Tatsumi and the battle he had against the Emperor in the 23th episode.
