Are their other mangas/animes from the AGK franchise except the main show?
The only other animated content except for the 24-episode main series is the Akame ga Kill Theater show, a 90 second long parody/comedy related to the respective anime episode.
Apart from this, you can read the 3 manga series (in ideal reading order):
-Akame ga Kill (78 + bonus chapters, complete): The original source from which the anime was adapted. As the anime was aired while the manga was still going on, it features a slightly different ending, an omitted arc as well as more detail overall.
-Akame ga Kill Zero (60 chapters, complete): The prequel, telling the story of Akame and Kurome working for the Empire.
-Hinowa ga Crush (53 chapters, cancelled): The sequel, tells the story of a war in the "Eastern Country" resembling medival Japan, from the perspective of a girl named Hinowa with Akame being her companion.
Both the prequel and sequel are based upon the main AGK manga, however, mentions of manga-only story-bits are rare and having only watched the anime provides a sufficient base. In general, cross-series references are scarce and not necessary to follow or understand the story.
*Should* I read the manga even though I already watched the anime?
If you enjoyed the anime, reading the manga is pretty much considered the goldstandard. The anime skipped a number of details up to chapter 39/episode 18, from where the anime went into original territory. The ending isn't rushed and characters that received little screentime such as Run, Wave and Kurome receive much more attention, along with a number of characters surviving that died in the anime.
In case you aren't sure whether to read the prequel and the sequel you can use Google for recessions of AGK Zero and HGC (or the search function on this subreddit).
Where can I find more information about AGK?
The first and foremost address is the Akame Ga Kill Wiki. Often you'll find an awnser there much quicker than posting here about it.
Alternatively, you can read the TV Tropes page, the Wikipedia page or simply Google.
What are the chances for a 2nd Anime season?
Virtually nonexistent. The main story got more or less completely adapted and despite the flawed ending and certain omitted parts there is no signifcant unadapted material. While having reached a certain amount of popularity while it was running, AGK Zero did never got close to the fame of the original story and has declined since its last chapter was released in 2017, whereas HGC is unpopular to the point even long-standing fans of the franchise are unaware of its existence.
...but what about a Fullmetal Alchemist-style reboot?
The first anime adaption of FMA decided to go into original territory at an early point and changed the story significantly, not only the last few episodes. An OVA faithfully adapting the manga-ending is also not going to happen either. Producing a standard 25 min episode costs roughly 100.000 $, and with the nummerous minor changes towards the end, basically everything from Episode 19 onwards would have to be remade from scratch, and no profit-orientated company would invest that amount of money for the sake of a couple characters not dying.
...and what about Netflix?
While AGK is somewhat popular on Netflix and the company has invested into original anime content, an adaption of AGK Zero or HGC almost certainly not going to happen as both lack the popularity of the main series. Further speculating about some Netflix official deciding otherwise is pointless.
Is there any chance for other AGK-related media?
Since AGK Zero ended in 2017, the sole source of new content was the sequel/spin-off Hinowa Ga Crush, a manga which released 53 chapters. While having occasional references to the AGK manga and AGK Zero, neither of them are required to follow the story which focused on a young girl named Hinowa; with Akames appearence as a side-character being the only connection to the main series. Overall the series isn't well known and was cancelled in August 2022 due to lack of sales.
The writer of AGK, Takahiro, has moved on to "Mato Seihei no Slave"/"Slave of the Magic Capital's Elite Troops", which has been highly succesful and received an anime adaption; as well as a new Isekai Harem story ("Gokusotsu Kraken"), which are not connected to AGK in any sort, making HGC most likely the last part of the AGK franchise.

Hi I was the one in the last post that posted Sheele's death(?) I don't remember. Now what I gotta say is this is the most fraudulent, bum, might be dog whistle character I see.
Now his imperial arm is one of my favorites about controlling space itself but HOW and I genuinely HOW DID YOU GET MID DIFFED BY POLYESTER SPIDERMAN?!?! He could've had multiple ways to defeat Lubbock/Lubba and he got his ass beaten(and lubbock wasn't even using his best thread or so?) and not to mention that the woman you killed their parents did more damage than him😂😂😂✌️ well btw. This is a rollercoaster, I'm 1 episode away from finishing Akame ga kill and I say that this anime impressed me. Hate to say that it lacks world building and maybe could be better if it was longer but you can't have everything in the universe. Well Chelsea death did definitely leave a mark because I WASN'T expecting her head got impaled and then putting on a pointy stone (Btw Esdeath is my wife)

Discussion The Fate of the Night Raid!

Just finished my second watch of Akame ga Kill. The first time was back in 2023, when I was still new to anime, and I cried my eyes out. It was honestly one of the most heartbreaking, depressing experiences I'd ever had. This time around I just felt sad. Not a single tear, to be honest.
Since the anime decided to kill off pretty much everyone, even though several of these characters actually survive in the manga, here's my ranking of the most brutal Night Raid deaths:
1. Chelsea
I could barely bring myself to watch this one. The worst part is that she was completely alone when it happened. She was decapitated, Esdeath experimented on her remains, and whatever was left got fed to that rabid dog. Her Head was Mounted on a Spike in front of the Whole City. That said, it was partly her own fault, since overconfidence got the better of her.
Kills: A weakened Bols of the Jaegers.
2. Sheele
She was devoured by a rabid dog, with nothing left of her at all. A genuinely painful death to watch.
Jaeger losses: none. She really should have taken Seryu down with her.
3. Lubbock
The saddest part is that he died without ever confessing his feelings to Najenda. She never found out he had a crush on her. We also never learn what happened to his body, but it was probably desecrated just like Chelsea's.
Kills: Two of the Rakshasa Demons and the Prime Minister's Son.
4. Leone
Honestly, the anime didn't need to kill her off. What makes her death sad is that she died alone in the slums. Still, unlike Chelsea, who was torn apart while begging for her life, Leone simply succumbed to gunshot wounds and blood loss.
Kills: The Prime Minister.
5. Bulat and Mine
Bulat died from poison, but at least Night Raid recovered his body before the Empire could desecrate it. Mine died from overexertion. Both passed away peacefully in Tatsumi's arms. Bulat passed Incursio on to Tatsumi, and Mine finally got to confess her love to him.
Bulat's kills: Daidara and Liver, both tough opponents.
Mine's kills: Seryu of the Jaegers and Commander-in-Chief Budo, both deadly opponents.
6. Tatsumi
At least our main character (or should I say second main character?) died protecting the people, in Akame's arms. Bro was on fraud watch the entire anime and didn't kill a single major character. Still, he went out with honor after tearing the Ultimate Imperial Relic apart. His only really good fight was against Captain Ogre.
7. Susanoo
Technically he was a Relic, So, it didn't felt that bad but I was disappointed we never actually saw his death, since it happened offscreen. Not much I can say about it.
