* KillEmAll: Alongside of 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.]]

* BittersweetEnding: In the anime, The Prime Minister is killed in episode 24, and the Emperor is overthrown, ushering in a new era of peace for the surviving people. Unfortunately a lot of the main cast dies before this happens. [[spoiler:Only Wave, Run, Akame and Najenda have survived. And in Najenda's case, her life has been shortened due to her link with Susanoo and using her lifeforce to activate his powers, so she's unsure how long she has left. And Tatsumi's village still thinks he, Ieyasu, and Sayo are still alive, and plan to throw a big celebration for them upon their return, not realizing what really happened to all three.]]
* BloodFromTheMouth:
** Ieyasu does this in the first episode. Tatsumi is later told its a fatal disease, and in fact they're surprised his friend lasted as long as he did.
** Akame does it in episode 24, but she manages to survive it.
* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler:The anime ends with Akame and Najenda as the sole survivors of Night Raid. Akame voluntarily takes all the blame for the Revolutionary Army's crimes and disappears. In the very last scene, Akame is surrounded by a gang of bounty hunters, and she draws her sword and attacks.]]

When the two girls are fighting directly however, Kurome gives her sister more of a challenge.

An anime adaptation of ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' by White Fox aired during the Summer and Fall 2014 seasons. Crunchyroll streamed the anime, which can be [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/akame-ga-kill viewed here]] for people living in the following areas: [[note]] USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Latin America and Turkey.[[/note]]
''Akame Ga Kill!'' is one of the most requested Creator/SentaiFilmworks shows for airing on Creator/AdultSwim's Creator/{{Toonami}}. True to their word, the Toonami crew announced at Momocon that it will be their first Creator/SentaiFilmworks show airing on the block, premiering August 9, 2015.
The Anime adapts the first 8 volumes, plus parts of volumes 10 and 11. However, the last few episodes are a different story. Please put tropes that are in both adaptations in ''Manga/AkameGaKill''
!!Tropes Specific to the Anime adaptation go here.
* AbortedArc: The anime took out the Wild Hunt arc entirely, and [[spoiler:Syura]] ended up being nothing but an ordinary VillainOfTheWeek.
* AdaptedOut:
** Many scenes of the manga regarding the Jaegers were cut out from the anime before the start of the original ending. This affected to their characterization, especially to Dr. Stylish's one.
* ArtShift: In the anime, any character whose portrait/design changes from fairly normal to monstrous looking can be safely considered to be evil, such as the Prime Minister or the various minor villains Night Raid fights against.
* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The second opening of the anime shows a campal battle between Night Raid and the Jaegers, showing versus like Lubbock and Leone vs Run, Seryu and Coro vs Susanoo and Chelsea, Tatsumi vs Wave and Esdeath vs Najenda. None of them happens in the anime storyline, [[spoiler: Leone fights with Run in episode 23, but is alone because Lubbock died three episodes back, Seryu never met Chelsea or Susanoo in live, Wave and Tatsumi have a little skirmish, but is in the battle of Akame and Kurome and hardly would count as a real battle, and for last, Najenda never fights Esdeath alone in the anime, she uses Susanoo for that because she hardly is at Esdeath level.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: Since the anime began to go its own route by Episode 19, the anime has also killed off a few characters who haven't met their demise in the manga (and it's possible that they may not die in the manga at all).
** [[spoiler:Suzuka]] survives being crushed by rocks in the manga, but anime presumes she died.
** [[spoiler:Mine]] has been killed in episode 21 of the anime. In the manga, [[spoiler:she]] survives the equivalent scene, albeit in coma.
** The next episode kills off [[spoiler:Kurome]] who is still alive in the manga.
** The penultimate episode kills off ''[[spoiler:Tatsumi]]'', and so far there's no word on when or if he'll die in the manga.
** While [[spoiler:Esdeath]], [[spoiler:the Prime Minister]], and [[spoiler:the Emperor]] will probably die in the manga at the end, like they did in the anime, [[spoiler:Leone's death]] could very well be taken out of the manga entirely.
* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:Tatsumi, at least in the anime. Even though it's told from his perspective, the central character is really Akame, and the Night Raid as a whole. Tatsumi even dies in the penultimate episode, while Akame survives, showing that he was more of the {{Deuteragonist}}.]]
* DiedInYourArmsTonight:
** Akame does this for [[spoiler:Tatsumi]] after he stops the defeated Emperor's HumungousMecha from crashing into a crowd of people in episode 23.
** Esdeath, does a variation of this in episode 24. [[spoiler:After being fatally wounded by Akame, she goes to Tatsumi's corpse, cradles it while freezing herself with him, then both disappear into the air as the ice vaporizes.]]
* GeckoEnding: The anime starts to diverge from the manga in later episodes. Some characters are KilledOffForReal while still alive in the manga around that same time frame [[spoiler:such as Mine and Budo]], while others are SparedByTheAdaptation [[spoiler:such as Run.]] And due to CompressedAdaptation issues, some characters are also AdaptedOut, such as most of Wild Hunt.
* HeroicSacrifice: Tatsumi gains an EleventhHourSuperpower while battling the Emperor in episode 23, which allows him to stop the latter's madness. [[spoiler:Unfortunately it takes a heavy toll on him, particularly when he uses his remaining strength to keep the Emperor's gigantic Imperial Arms from hitting innocent civilians.]]
* LighterAndSofter: Zig-zagged. Because the anime decided to skip the Wild Hunt arch and went with the anime original ending, some of the more controversial content from the manga [[spoiler:such as the rape of Bols's wife and daughter]] was never shown. On the other hand, the anime kills off ''more'' characters than in the manga (since some of the characters in the manga are still alive as of this date), but some of the good-hearted characters [[spoiler:such as Run, Bols's wife and daughter, and the three girls from chapter 23.5, Luna, Fal and Air]] are alive in the anime.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: After taking out their latest target in episode 19, the Revolutionary Army begins their march on the capital in episode 20. This has several of the high ranking Imperial officers worried, particularly as many strongholds surrender without a fight. [[spoiler:They finally succeed in episode 24 after Akame finishes off Esdeath.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Run survives in the anime, and is implied to be an important part in reforming the new government to be more righteous than the last one.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, because the Wild Hunt arch was skipped or ignored, Bols's wife and daughter are alive as well at the anime's last episode. Also, the three girls who were brutally tortured, raped, and killed by Bach and his henchmen [[note]]Air, Fal, and Luna[[/note]] were seen alive and well in the anime's last episode.]]
* WhamEpisode:
** Episode 6 shows the first onscreen death of a Night Raid member, [[spoiler:specifically Sheele.]]
** Episode 8 has the next one, [[spoiler: Bulat.]]
** Both the Jaegers and Night Raid lose one member in episode 17, [[spoiler:Bols and Chelsea respectively.]]
** Tatsumi gets captured in episode 20 after being hopelessly outmatched by Budou. Additionally, another Night Raid member gets killed, [[spoiler:this time Lubbock, though not before he kills Syura.]]
** The Night Raid succeeds in rescuing Tatsumi in episode 21, but in the process, [[spoiler:Mine is fatally wounded by Budou, and [[DiedInYourArmsTonight she dies in Tatsumi's arms]] later on. Susanoo is also KilledOffScreen by Esdeath, using the amount of energy he has left [[YouShallNotPass to give the Night Raid time to escape as he fights her]]]].
** In Episode 23, [[spoiler: Tatsumi defeats the emperor but dies preventing the emperor's Imperial arms from harming more innocent civilians.]
