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. The show saw distribution on Netflix as well where folks in the UK got a good look at it for awhile too. The series saw a pickup by Animatsu with a release back in 2016 but it looks like that license has expired. Anime Limited has now made their announcement of a pickup with plans for a collector’s edition to put it back into the marketplace with. No dates or details are set yet nor pricing for what the collector’s edition will include.
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!
