Possibly someone else already said this, but: Mine didn't die at that point in the manga for an important reason. She was a super giant red herring, throwing death flags, fighting and almost dying. But she manages to pull through after doing the whole "love confession before dying" and her and Tatsumi do spend some time as a couple. One of the few times where a character SURVIVING is the plot twist, since the author intentionally used the tropes he was abusing (backstory of a character right before killing them) and turned it on its head (readers EXPECTED her to die like all the others, but she doesn't) Doesn't mean the result was worth it, but the author didn't abuse the trope due to a lack of skill. He did it in order to set up THAT plot twist.

the fun with Mine's death, is that... By the time she actually destroyed the Animation budget with that last shot, she was already dead or just barely holding onto her own life. Pumpkin is a gun that gets stronger the closer to death user is; considering that final laser was strong enough to literally strip the gun's mechanisms bare... Yeah. you do the math. And of course, Tatsumi's final Pull; uh, his sword and armor are made out a literal Demon From Hell, known as a Tyrant. the difference between Wave's version of it and Tatsumi's is that Tatsumi's is just an Experiment. an unfinished container for a being not meant to be used by a human. Thus when Tatsumi's armor Crumbles, but he still clings to life, he just says "FUCK IT" and releases the whole fucking Thing onto himself. That final moment isn't a Gigantic Mech vs a Mech, it's a GIGANTIC MECH vs a fucking Beast From Hell. it is a lot more awesome than it seems, and I fucking LOVE IT.

The only one who came out mostly safe was Akame, and even the she became cursed by her Teigu, which the sequel manga shows better (she's basically at half strength and can't fight for long periods). So yeah, not precisely a happy ending, but a pyric victory. Also, the character arcs of the main cast are resolved better in the manga

[@swift9515]

Akame ga Kill is a really interesting case for me because I feel like it was an anime that was just designed to be an overcorrection for the standard Shonen that were so prevalent during that time. i vividly remember when I first watched Akame ga kill when it first came out and being genuinely shocked when those doors to the torture shed first opened up, seeing the state that his friends were in and i tried to process the huge tonal shift that had just happened before my eyes. My shock doubled when Tatsumi walked over to the noble girl and just straight cut her down without really saying anything. This first episode is what hooked me, I was so tired of main characters with no backbone in the oversaturated Shonen genre that when I watched this episode for the first time I was impressed. I was so glad to see a main character so different from what I was used to at the time that I fell in love with the show, despite its flaws, and from the popularity the show received I don't think I was the only one who shared this sentiment at the time. To me Tatsumi stood out from other main characters at the time in another important aspect that I feel like gets overlooked alot of the time, which is his relationship with Esdeath. I felt like alot of anime during that time had either the love interest completely falling in love with the main character for a weird ass reason but the main character was too thick to see it. Or the reverse happened where the main character is hopelessly in love with someone who is oblivious to this fact (think like SAO or Danmachi type beat). I remember liking how Tatsumi just straight up said "no" to Esdeath, and that aspect of him was something that I could really appreciate, and differentiates him from the rest of the MCs of that era. I could go on about more shit this story touched on, like the inner demon trope being actually scary, where bro faces genuine consequences for using the power , unlike in Naruto and such (bro actually turning into a dragon is wild). Which I thought was really cool, and I feel like set up JJK to take this concept further with Sukuna, but I digress. I'll be the first to admit that this show has a lot of flaws, it has excessive gore, poorly written villains and trauma dumping into character deaths galore. I feel like it tried so desperately to differentiate itself from other anime of that time by doing shit like this and as a result rather than subverting the Shonen genre it ended up overcorrecting into a bit of an edgy mess. it wouldn't be until JJk that I feel like a middle ground between this Shonen archetype and Akame ga kill is reached. In my eyes, JJK, hells paradise, and chainsaw man are successful subversions of the Shonen genre, which found a middle ground between the two and were able to catch the greater maturing viewer's attention while not sacrificing writing in the process. That being said, Akame ga Kill holds a special place in my heart as a guilty pleasure anime with hype ass action and overly ambitious goals, which I believe served as a stepping stone for future manga/anime to learn from its mistakes and become genuinely good modern day works. P.S, thanks for the videos bro, the time you put into these videos really shows. I really enjoy watching them and hearing your takes on stuff that I'm passionate about. I really appreciate it and keep up the solid work.

Agree but as someone with every hells paradise volume, that shit is pretty bad, the action is awful only like 2 main characters die and I couldnt care less abt them, the violence doesn't rlly look all that good and uhhh I think there's character devolpment? A lil bit? I hate jjk with a passion tho have a nice day

[@Firstlast-gp2eq]

bro you're really the goat. this actually felt like 4 minutes

[@Tusuratopia]

I'm watching this during a storm. Right at 28:50 when it said "Here it comes". My power flickered and shut down my computer.

[@VainSick]

Lmao 😂

[@kittenwizard4703]

This was the first anime I ever watched in 2015, saw a ad for it on adult swim once and was immediatly hooked, and I've been an anime fan ever since

[@judah1223]

32:47 i always assumed her slamming into the wall obliterated her organs and was just bleeding out the whole fight

[@jayblair6956]

I am like 3 minutes in and already laughing my ass off at the dialogue.

[@guunarlarsensmith7148]

Really enjoyed the longer video format, keep it up!

[@HTBsnowgoon]

40:15 bro this entire part was my exact reaction 💀 especially tatsume dying even tho he was the mc and akame not being the mc just cuz her names in the title

[@skelebro9999]

Finally, Mr. Scamboli made a review on my favourite anime, Jujutsu Kaisen.

Ah yes chainsaw man

4:54 That’s such a good delivery and execution of a joke I can’t 😂

Damn. Was stating to worry maybe u were part of the cast. Good to have ya back bro

[@legomonstuff8601]

32:16 sone of the finest character development I’ve ever seen

lol

[@theworldsgreatestjidiot9667]

17:38 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM!!

[@iamthepole723]

Same

[@4vdio]

23:02 the fact that this was actually apart of the anime and was just outta nowhere made this 10x more funny then it should've been

[@poatotcheeps]

37:40 commentary just made me rofl SO MUCH we know it's a single shot but your reaction it's just *chef kiss*

[@armango_am9317]

I’ve watched this like 3 times already scam you give me so much creative motivation with your content. 100% can say you are my favorite KZbinr

[@weeaboojones4063]

Glad to see you back scam. Another great and well thought out video. Love the format you used. Thanks for a great video.

[@ScamboliReviews]

Thank you 😊

[@weeaboojones4063]

@@ScamboliReviews of course. It’s always great seeing a post from you, and I remember tuning in to watch you play mob of the dead. It’s always a pleasure to watch.

9:44 "here's an idea- were going to kill the dinosaurs, and put them in swords" made me laugh hysterically. randomly came across this channel and video and have found it very much worth my time, you sir have my subscription.

[@hyliansaviour9420]

39:16. You got that right. The manga is drastically different. That entire final arc went completely different. Pretty much everything after string bro died was different. (He also died slightly different in the manga). We have different sets of people die and survive as well. Arguably, the manga had the better story out of the 2. Ill leave it there not to spoil incase any want to read

[@JustinObi54]

Hmm, ok, I'll remember to give it a read

[@Tneal78]

Even my angsty highschooler self thought this anime laid it on too thick with the death and gore.

[@V3RAC1TY]

read the manga the anime cut an entire arc and changed the ending

[@mako403]

32:58 actually the coolest sound effect ever wtf?

[@thetacticalpuertorican]

38:01 the face you make when you forget to wear your ear protection correctly and now your ears are rining.

[@TurnipCat69]

outstanding scam! definitely like the longer format

[@wedwhb9899]

I've watched this video four times already and i still cackle over it lol Good to have you back, scam

[@nopenegative2576]

Really enjoy this type of video from you. I think your personality is just so relaxed to put on in the background while doing something else you my man are the best Second monitor Content a viewer could dream of

[@ScamboliReviews]

That was the goal for this one, thank you 😊

[@JoltedAlive]

ngl, pulling out "his world" for a mega super saiyan asspull scene has to be the most fitting part of this video.

[@romy1924]

i think what esdeath does is reduced the surrounding temperature to absolute zero, thereby seemingly "freezing time".

[@r.a.3219]

In the fight against susanoo she says that her trump card controls space

[@romy1924]

@r.a.3219 but remember when tatsumi went up against it, he was able to move because he heated up him body. So if it was space control he shouldn't have been able to do so..🤔

[@r.a.3219]

@@romy1924 oh then idk🤷‍♂️

[@romy1924]

@@r.a.3219 actually your correct. Just watched another video saying her trump card actually freezes time and space. She can also use absolute zero. Apparently her ability allows her to control temperature not just ice

[@RM-56]

Wouldn't everyone just get frostbite and lose their limbs then?

[@uwulaef]

welcome back!!! FIRE new format this video flowed so nice

[@Choji11]

Wow. Had no idea the manga was that different from the anime. Solid review, really like the longer stuff you do.

[@kyotheman69]

creator made screen play just for anime, doesn't hold candle to the manga though

[@kingkalii188]

Akame ga kill was my introduction to anime. Watching main characters die every episode left me so traumatized. I thought that was how ALL anime's were

[@Greatguy11237]

Thankyou so much for continuing KZbin you have no idea how happy your vids make me!!!!

[@SumujiSAIKO]

Bro, #1 for REAL legit anime reviews, you should do a review on scam "top 10 anime" review videos.

[@brendangilyan8033]

I like every video you make, I wish you uploaded more. I understand how hard it is to find content or make videos like these but I love them so much. I love ya man, please keep being you!

This was hands down one of the most entertaining vids I've ever seen. well edited, funny af. def earned a sub

[@theworldsgreatestjidiot9667]

32:00 I fucking love youre writing and dialogue dude

[@gunnarschlichting9886]

Gotta say, when you just finished watching Gurren Lagann and heard that basically the same people under a different studio name made an equally hype different anime later, but all you can remember is that the name ends with "-a Kill", sometimes the anime you start watching isn't the one you were searching for lol. Source - Me, circa late 2010s

[@HistoryNerd129]

lol this is exactly what happened to me! I was looking for Kill La Kill, saw the -a kill and watched it.

[@enderwill2694]

7:39 I haven't even gone past this point and I'm already thinking "Sucker u ain't slick, this bad guy set you up" because they ain't no way that this evil man is just gonna follow some dude in the middle of the night to some random alleyway because they "Had something important to tell you"

[@thelegend8570]

9:24 "...This kingdom is FUCKED" I almost choked to death laughing.
