Akame ga Kill! - S01

Night Raid is the covert assassination branch of the Revolutionary Army, an uprising formed to overthrow Prime Minister Honest, whose greed for power has led him to exploit the child emperor's inexperience. With no strong and benevolent leader, the rest of the nation is left to sink into poverty, strife, and ruin. Though the Night Raid members are all experienced killers, they understand that taking lives is far from praiseworthy and that they will likely face retribution as they mercilessly eliminate anyone who stands in the revolution's way. The newest member of this merry band of assassins is Tatsumi, a naïve boy from a remote village who had set out to help his impoverished hometown and was won over by not only Night Raid's ideals, but also their resolve. Akame ga Kill! follows Tatsumi as he fights the Empire and comes face-to-face with powerful weapons, enemy assassins, challenges to his own morals and values, and ultimately, what it truly means to be an assassin with a cause.
