Akame ga Kill! seasons
Akame ga Kill! has one anime season so far. The TV series was produced by White Fox, directed by Tomoki Kobayashi with scripts by Makoto Uezu, and ran for 24 episodes from 7 July to 15 December 2014. It adapts mainly the first eight volumes of the 15-volume manga by Takahiro and Tetsuya Tashiro, then switches to its own final arc for the last episodes, so the anime ending differs from the manga's. In the United States, an English dub aired on Adult Swim's Toonami block from August 2015. The prequel manga Akame ga Kill! Zero has never been animated.
