I'd just like to start off saying that this thread isn't for the person who only cares about the strongest character in the series, straight up fanboy/girls or just trolls. I kinda want a serious discussion on this so if you're one of those people I'd kindly ask you just not to say something dumb or something that doesn't contribute. I can't stop you from doing so, I just ask you don't.
So I recently started watching Akame ga Kill and it's a great anime series but I feel like it, like a lot of other series, does one thing that never sits well with me. It's the fact that they have main protagonist characters, and in this case, the "good guys" as well as the antagonists that kill. Most of the time in the antagonist's case, it's the bland killing for the sake of killing, and the protaganist's kill to stop the killing. I feel like a lot of writers play off the killing that the "good guys" do as a just cause and it's totally fine that they do so just because they don't like others doing it. And that's essentially what it is in my opinion, killing other people because they don't like them killing. It's so contradictory I sometimes fail to understand how an author can be okay with writing that.
I know that many people will disagree with me and find my opinion extremely retarded, but I just find it redundant. I feel that instead of killing people that kill other people, finding alternatives to avoid redundancy such as, capturing and locking them up, using strategy to blackmail them to prevent them from killing again, stuff like that.
If anyone of you have seen the anime series "Rainbow Nisha Rokubou", (Greatest anime series of ALL TIME. EVER.) remember when "An-chan" got stabbed by the warden, but still refused to take revenge on him for all the beatings and suffering and pain he caused him and his friends, even though the warden deserved to die more than anything? And then when Mario went to take revenge on the Warden for killing "An-chan", he didn't do it either. That, in my opinion, is much more deep and meaningful as well as much more memorable than killing against killing.
Akame Ga Kill isn't the only example of this, there are many others that I just can't think of right now.
