“AKAME GA KILL!”
HOUSTON,
July 5, 2014 – Weapons of war will clash in a bid to end an empire’s corruption in
Sentai Filmworks' latest acquisition,
Akame ga Kill! This supernatural action series is directed by Tomoki Kobayashi (Amagami SS+, Rozen Maiden), with series composition by Makoto Uezu (Humanity Has Declined, Devil Survivor 2), art direction by Yoshito Takamine (SoniAni
– Super Sonico the Animation, Jormungand) and animation production by WHITE FOX (Is the order a rabbit?, Steins;Gate).
Tatsumi,
an eager young fighter who dreams of glory, arrives in the Imperial
Capital in hopes of earning money for his impoverished village. His
dreams are soon squashed when his attempts at recruitment are
turned down, and his money is stolen by a curvaceous con woman. While
stranded in the streets, Tatsumi attracts the attention of a wealthy
family that offers to take him in. Just when it seems like things are
back on track, Tatsumi’s would-be benefactors are
attacked by a group of ruthless killers known as Night Raid. But the
brutal assault reveals a darker truth that stretches all the way to the
top, for beneath the thin veneer of the Capital lies a teeming hive of
corruption that engulfs the whole city. With
nowhere else to turn, Tatsumi joins the Night Raid to help put a stop
to the wicked ways of the Capital once and for all.
