    Television gets seriously dangerous as AKAME GA KILL! (??????!, Akame ga Kiru!, 2014) infiltrates Toonami, the hugely popular Adult Swim block. Over the weekend at MomoCon, Adult Swim, basic cable’s #1 network with young adults for over a decade, announced their addition of AKAME GA KILL! to the Toonami anime lineup beginning this August.
