Sentai Filmworks previously brought out Akame ga Kill! with a pair of half-season sets and some premium material that went over well with fans. While it’s been a bit since the show first rolled out, we’ve had it move to streaming on HIDIVE as well as arriving on Netflix recently. With that in mind, Sentai has added a dub-narrated trailer to their channel to provide a nod to the show where people can pick it up on their site or check out the HIDIVE streaming itself. It’s likely a trailer we’ve seen before (which may have expired at some point) so we’re just glad to take a little revisit to the recent past with a show that appealed to a lot of people.
Plot Concept: When Tatsumi set off for the Capital, it was with fantasies of earning riches for his poverty-stricken hometown. Instead, his friends were murdered and Tatsumi finds himself at the center of a bloody revolution. With an evil Prime Minister, the Secret Police, and the armies of an Empire on one side, and the elite assassins known as Night Raid and a handful of rebels on the other, it might sound like an impossible battle for Tatsumi’s new allies to win. However, the playing field is leveled with the addition of a legendary set of unstoppable weapons, the Imperial Arms. Unfortunately, to use an Imperial Arm is practically a death sentence in itself, for while the Arms are indestructible, few wielders can survive using them for long!
