10 Anime Series You Only Watch Once

10. Akame Ga Kill

The first series up on the list earns its place because it is the definition of painfully average.

It covers the story of adventurer Tatsumi, who gets roped into joining a band of assassins attempting to overthrow a tyrannical government.

Akame Ga Kill is the type of show that's just plain bland. At first it'll have you thinking that it's got something to say thematically and character wise, but it doesn't.

There's honestly just not much to the show. The animation is average at best, only ever rarely becoming a spectacle, and characters tend to die right after or even before they start to get interesting.

Speaking of character, much like Game of Thrones characters die left and right. Some deaths are genuinely upsetting, but once you notice the signs, they become not only predicable, but annoying. Most of the deaths only seem to happen for shock value, with likeable characters dying for no good reason. That's also all the characters are is likeable, as they lack any complexity or depth.

While not necessarily bad, Akame Ga Kill is the type of series that you finish out of obligation with absolutely no good reason to go back to.
