Personally I hated Akame Ga Kill. Only made it past ep 5 of the anime and called it a day. Just too many things they expect you to give a shit about and I wasn't impressed. What's sad is I think I was unfair to it, but I ran and never looked back.

I hope it becomes a mix of lighthearted and darkness, it's a nice balance to have so we don't get Darkness-Induced Apathy (like in Akame Ga Kill perhaps? God I have to stop hating on stuff). It'd be nice to see they can still emote something beyond "smoldering generic rage" or even "cynical enjoyment."

@Parrot: That is an excellant idea. Fitting the myth, he (and perhaps the rest of JNR) are captured and for some reason, Ren has to kill/mortally wound himself in order to fight off Salem's whatever she has. Maybe they can save him, maybe Ren and Nora get a last second goodbye, who knows?
