Animes with the premise: Games for survival

I've recently really been drawn into animes and mangas with the main premise is some sort of fucked up situation where they have to follow some kind of rules/play a game to survive.

Stuff like:
Kamisama_no_Iutoori
Darwin's Game
Doubt
Gantz
Judge
Biomeat nectar
suicide island

Although, these are mostly all mangas. Can anyone recommend any animes of this type?

I think the correct terminology is "Battle Royal". If you wiki that it will probably give you more results.

Deadman Wonderland

Mirai Nikki
that's the only one I've seen that you haven't
I also know that there is another coming out that looks good
Savanna Game
It's tba so it may take a few seasons to come out.

hope that helps

Well this is a weird one but Yu-Gi-Oh season 0 is good one to check out.

Yugi challenges players to different types of games with rules they have to follow or they will die.

Obviously No Game No Life. The MCs are not in a bad situation technically though as despite being at a major disadvantage, they like it that way. No Game No Life is about a world in which everything is decided by games and when I say everything, I really do mean everything. Anything can be bet in a good from something as simple as a little cash to something as big as your life or your countries territory. Everything is a game in No Game No Life and I've never seen an anime that takes the concept to this much of an extreme. It's a very entertaining show and the best anime so far this year. I highly recommend it.

Thanks again guys.
Already watched Kaiji and No Game No Life before.
Don't really feel like going the yugioh route there.

Hmm, Togainu no chi is on my plan to watch list. Watched the 1st ep some years ago.... always forget about that plan to watch list, definitely will keep watching it

Don't watch Danganroppa (might be a typo there). It was absolutely horrible. But yeh survival games probably Battle Royal like aforementioned and Btooom.

If you want mangas like that then pm me i might find smth or search my list
