It's has a simple story, easy to follow. There's action. Great actors. Technically wonderful. How did this flop? What more do you people want?!
Akame ga kill is like game of thrones in that it has no respect for it's characters. The show gets you attached to the characters. You as a viewer get to know them, their ideals and what moves them, only to get your heart ripped out, stomped on and burned when often in the same or following episode you see your new favourite character (or match) get killed. Thank god they didn't kill Tatsumi until the second to last episode.
The art style is nice, it's really good actually. The story is fast-paced, the characters are like-able, the villains are evil, the superpowers are amazing. If you like cool people fighting other cool people yet cool people who are bad, this is certainly a show I recommend. If you can handle losing almost all your favourite characters that is.
