I have watched many anime that have active hatedoms, and liked them.
Sword Art Online for one.
I watched this anime with an active hatdom, and didn't really like it.
I don't know exactly why: though I'd argue it was Tatsumi really. His entry into the plot felt more out of place than even Shiro of Fate fandom, and seemed to get more girls with less effort than most harem-esc series.
He just, slid in far too easily.
It has good animation, an interesting story, and the morality was interesting. But Tatsumi, and to a lesser extent the other characters, dragged it down.
Too many characters with too little time to develop them honestly.
A series with a lot of morality questions requires more episodes than Akame's count. Death Note had 30ish and Code Geass 52. The series lacking it's shonen anime's 100+ run, despite what many complain of in Naruto, One Piece, and others, would have benefited it greatly.
Could more episodes have fixed the characterization issues? Perhaps, and perhaps if that had happened I'd have enjoyed it more.
A good concept pushed down to not-good by the characters and the length
