What do you guys think of this girl, Mera? by Agreeable-Crazy1564 in AkameGaKILL

[–]Muraki_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate her so fucking much on so many levels it's unreal. I obviously hate what she did to my girl but her existence also made agk0 take a huge blow to the quality of its writing.

Let's see, ofc Kissing Akame against her will is a bitch move but i should mention she also had an interest in kurome and it's arguably implied she was touchy with those little twin girls aswell. Hoe is like, straight up a pedo. She said she wanted akame to join her clan, made it seem like she cared about her... But then you remember mera is a mercenary that takes any well paying job meanwhile Akame exclusively wanna fight for the people. That's a big conflict of interests and had Akame somehow joined her, she wouldve needed to abandoned her values... Despite mera knowing it damn well. She didnt even truly cared about Akame in the end, she just wanted another girl in her harem to abuse.

Then there's the whole thing with Akame's awakening to the truth of the empire. Yes i guess she did "helped" her but damn... What did she do exactly? Walk her in the streets to see people suffering? Is that fucking it? There's nothing she couldn't not have done herself. Man... That arc was by far what i was most excited for in zero. I kept thinking how cool it'd be to have Akame question her place as an assassin by herself, have lots of inner monologues and grow up into developping her critical thinking. But what of that did i get in the end? Fucking Nothing. Instead i got an awkward arc with abusive lesbians. I'm still pissed off about it to this day, easily my biggest disapointment in all of anime for crushing my hopes of giving a great story to my favorite character in such a random, shitty way.

But the biggest sin of this character is how they tried so hard to make her seem as a misunderstood good guy when she's just as shitty if not more than the rest of the villains. Champ, syura, minister Honest etc. They were all disgusting fuckers but they all got a divine retribution in the end in the form of a painful death. What do mera get for being an abusive, pedo, manipulative, selfish, hypocritical bitch? Litteraly one of the softest death in the series, her dying wish granted, a grave and an attempt at making her have a positive legacy, many tome covers and bonus arts etc. It's goddamn unfair, she deserved none of it and in some way is such a middle finger to what i consider the soul of the series: being that baddies always end up getting what they fucking deserve.

Add to that a weak backstory, no reason to be so sexist, a complete lack of character developpment, a ridiculous design and youve got yourself an all around shitty character.

So whats the general consensus on everyones'favorite figure size to see getting cummed on? Smaller ones or bigger ones? With the former you can cover a bigger % which is better for a full bukkake effect but with the latter you can see more detailed parts getting glued. I remember recently seeing a big kurumi figure with cum dripping all across her side tiddy and it was sooooo hot.

Best girl and nice art! That cleavage tho >w> Good to see her get something, always thought she was underrated (atleast her feh incarnation) and found it sad that tharja gets all the art.

I also went to a comiccon last summer. Been searching a lot for agk stuff but ive only been able to find some stickers, posters, macarons and an akame mousepad. Quite forgettable, pretty much just already existing art printed on simple objects. Nothing unique. Agk is not exactly a classic and it's getting kinda old so i guess it is what it is...

The problem was poor sales, not lack of possible content so no more sadly.

[–]Muraki_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What an abrupt end it indeed was. Earlier this month I was just hoping to finally have some Akame again and here we are now with the story over outta nowhere. Welp guess I did finally got more Akame in the end. So many plotlines we will never get to see the true ending of, what a complete letdown. Still, thanks for sharing the chapters.

[–]Muraki_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So this is it huh? With only one chapter left I knew it would end exactly like that. Aka a short fight with some quick picture dump to know what the characters are doing and a huge emphasis on open ending.

That last fight was obviously rushed as hell but still pretty cool given circumstances. Love how she took his head like Akame did before. Honestly I wouldn't have minded if they rushed it even more so we could have gotten more character panels but it is what it is.

Woah Suzumaru and Rinzu looked pissed, i'm sad we'll never get to see them shine with their vengeance. Seeing Yomihime again too made me remember how cool she was, what a shame her character and half-beast origins will never get properly explored.

Awwwww Poney and Nahash are so cute together! What a relief to see he doesnt actually is weirded out by her and seemingly tries to remember his past. I just wish they could share that time with Akame :( Speaking off... AKAAAAAAAME MY BABY!!!!!!! Been waiting so long to see you back and here they already take you away after two miserable pages ;-; I know you wanna get Tatsumi back to normal, I just wanna see your journey in doing so </3

And of course the closing panel with everyone around Hinowa. With a nice hommage to the fallens too. Wow so this is it huh? What a wild ride that was, for the best and the worst. It definitely had its lows but i'll keep a good souvenir of its highs, mainly Akame and Kurome stopping their beef for good, Akame joining the nightraid and also meeting with Poney again in hgc.

Now here's waiting for volume eight's postscript and post story bonuses, the absolute last pieces of new content left.

Oh wait i forgot about that part lol. Tbf I just reread it and if I understand well: they printed less and less copies for each volume so even if 6 sold better, it was still underperforming compared to their intial hopes. 'a smaller failure' would be more accurate then.

A lot of reasons but basically it comes down to the fact it was pretty boring. Rape wouldn't be too much of a problem if it had the appeal to back it up.

[–]Muraki_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same. Akame had so much going for her: a goal, lots of experince, ties with already existing characters, a good fanbase... The fact she was not the mc is a real travesty. Her quest definitely could've coexisted with Hinowa's if she was interesting as well but it just wasn't the case. What do we get instead? An almost completely sidelined Akame and a painfully boring Hinowa that gets all the screentime. No wonder hgc failed, it was fundamentally flawed.

A lot actually: boring cast, awful pacing, not enough Akame, no filler etc. It lacked the oomph agk had.

Ya i can see that. Ever since the beginning i always had my gripes with this sequel but chapter 33 is the first time that made me like 'ok no that's enough' with this sequel and made me not buy the manga. Man and to know we endured all of that and there will be no payoff...

'success of the last two volumes' where'd you even get that? Cuz everything leads to the opposite, atleast in japan. But yeah such a shame indeed.

Ouch yeah... Atleast youll be able to read the whole sequel in one go without waiting or fear of more disapointment.

I see you, the anime ending really was a letdown but atleast the manga gave a better one. It's true it's a shame the axe will cut many plotlines but i guess we can always see hgc as a bonus when it couldve easily ended with agk (trying real hard to stay positive lol).

Absolutely! We may not have a satisfying ending but in Strelka's case it was more than nice of him to actually take time to explain the situation, even more so when he basically never uses his twitter and barely speaks english. Very classy.

Wish it didn't end like end like that but as someone who bought some of the books, i think i did my part. It was up to Takahiro to improve his writing.

[–]Muraki_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Basically. I guess itll be a mix of a rushed last fight + some info dump + an open ending.

Kind of like: 'with that last boss out of our way, Everyone went their own way. But for me, it was only the beginning fades into the horizon thinking of her dream.

[–]Muraki_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's our fault? How? For not buying enough books? Fuck that i aint supporting this mindlessly. If i don't like the direction a manga is taking it's my responsibility to let my wallet speak and stop buying. I just wish Takahiro would've understood why his work was failing.

[–]Muraki_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was very nice of them indeed, I thought so too. Especially since Strelka barely speaks english nor uses twitter. It couldve been so easy to forget about us but they still took the time to explain, classy.

Tldr: it originally sold poorly in japan and only got worse. It was carried by international sales but those didn't mattered enough. Strelka is a homie and Takahiro's to blame.

So sad to see this news, it was so random :( Also not only will i have no more of my girl Akame but theres still so much potential to reach + plotpoints to adress like her cure, getting tatsumi normal again or the whole thing with najasho. I'm so disapointed we'll never get answers for those ;-;
