I saw "Akame Ga Kill" when it aired on Toonami. It affected me in the exact same way that watching "
Blood+" affected me. At first, I thought the ending sucked since I had invested a lot of time and emotions into the main character as well as the supporting characters that were close to the main character. But later I realized that the writers were trying to depict the realities of life - That not everything ends happily like in a fairy tale, so as to make the anime appear more true to life, which is what artists strive for their creations to do ("Art imitating life"). I guess it's sort of like eating Dark Chocolate (Which I do enjoy but can't at the moment because I still need to have an expensive dental implant and crown done - See? Life sucks, doesn't it? That's reality~!) - Some parts of it are sweet but there is also some bitterness to remind you of the realities of life. It's not that I enjoy watching that kind of anime (I'd prefer a happy ending for the main character(s) like in most other anime that I watch) but I guess that sometimes it is important to watch these kinds of "dark" anime to remind us of the reality of life after watching all of that fantasy.
I want to play "Call of Duty Infinite Warfare" but my machine (Core2Duo E8500 3.1GHz with an ATI Radeon HD 4850) is too old to meet the
minimum requirements. I can't afford to upgrade my machine yet (I still need to spend $3000 for my dental implant and crown). It's times like these that I am reminded of the Mel Brooks comedy "
Life Stinks" - You can watch the full version of the movie here ->

Some of the concepts in Fate (e.g. Mages summoning ancient warriors of the past to fight on their behalf) sound like what can be seen in JoJo's Bizzare Adventure (e.g. The villan, Dio Brando brought back two fearsome Scottish Knights from the dead to fight the hero, JoJo). Fate sounds like a good anime series. If I have the time, I might look into it. Where are you watching it?
