Not a niche opinion at all. It just depends on who you are asking that question to.

There are plenty of non-action/less action anime (You and i are Polar Opposite, Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky, Akane-banashi, Nippon Sangoku, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, Oshi no Ko) and the that list goes on which prove that you don’t need need constant action to be great.

My problem with the anime original ending was not with the choices it took (I am always up for an alternative ending) but that it was speedrunning to the end. It just felt forced.

Both the prequel and sequel are shorter than the main story. (80 chapters, 60 and 53 chapters) For the sequel the story ended before the main arc started (initial events completed, setup to main arc completed).

I recommend reading Akame ga kill! for the proper ending and also Akame ga kill! Zero for more lore and backstory. Sequel is a bonus read since it is a entirely new story (new place, new characters) that Akame stumbled into so it feel like she is just doing sidequest.

I think it held up quite well. I enjoyed reading it more than rewatching the anime adaptation because the second half of the adaptation was not good. (It ran out of source material to adapt)

Found the story to be intriguing enough to pick up the manga to see the proper ending and i am glad i did. The prequel was a nice read too. Fan service +200% and you get to learn more about Akame (why she ended up betraying the Empire) and about her sister too.

I like the setup of the sequel and the direction it was going, such a shame that it got axed. I will definitely pick up the continuation if Tashiro ever comes back to finish this story.

Started on the Akame Ga Kill series recently and i almost finished with the sequel Hinowa ga Crush! I am a little disappointed when i found out it got axed. (had the feeling halfway through with how the story was progressing and how little chapters there was left.) Oh well.
