The Akame ga KILL! anime adapts the manga series written by Takahiro with art by Tetsuya Tashiro. The dark action fantasy manga follows the title character Akame, a girl who was bought and raised by the Empire as an assassin. After meeting Akame, a boy named Tatsumi vows to stand up to the evil of the corrupt Empire with the secret assassin group Night Raid and special weapons known as Teigu.
The anime premiered in Japan in July last year.
HERO TV first announced both anime in July, as part of its lineup from July to September. HERO TV previously aired a television commercial for the announcement.
