In a nutshell, it tried to speedrun the plot of the manga, and halfway through decides it would be better for it to do its own thing. It then just goes completely off the rails compared to the plot of the manga. I honestly felt personally insulted as a fan and actively try to forget the anime exists.
Akame ga Kill is a fantastic manga!
We do not talk about the anime.
