I've just spent 2 hours telling someone who claims to be an Otaku, that Akame ga kill has an Anime adaptation. I showed him Gifs, I showed him the entire first episode and he just says that it's A "Fan-animation."
The work of Square Enix, TOHO animation, Sentai Filmworks, White Fox and all of the voice actors and animators that are fantastic, is just Fan animation.
