Dear oh dear , where do I start , I just finished the final ep of s1 and I m feeling already hungry for more . I am an old manga reader from over 4 years ago  , with this being in my top 3 mangas of all time , so did this adaptation give the story justice .
Short answer , kind of , let's start with the bad , the animation was very stiff and average and it really showed in action scenes , thankfully it's not an action based show , it would ve been catastrophic . The art direction they used was ...

Many will disagree with me but I really enjoyed it.
I have read many reviews and it seems that many dislike this type of anime or this particular one.
I really enjoyed this anime since Im reading the manga and the manga its just perfect.
So I recommend reading the manga first.
Its still unclear who the real traitor is and you have to find out which of them is it.
If you are interested who the traitor is and cant wait for a 2nd season then go to chapter 71/72/73 there you should see who one of the traitors is. I havent read it yet but till ...

An enjoyable anime. Rarely an anime makes you want to watch more from the first 3 episodes and this ... wasn't one of those who do, but it gets better by each episode. Yes there is fan service, yes there are trashy characters and yes we don't know the full backstory of their friendship. As an anime only viewer and not a manga reader, this is the way i want it to be and the way it should be. If we knew how evil or crappy everyone in their friendship is, then what's there to watch?? If they said "No" to the game then is ...

I can't believe what is happening How do some people evaluate this anime, which is only two episodes, it is true that the animation is somewhat unacceptable, but everyone judges this anime by its cover Story10/10 Although events now may be considered fast, with a little patience, it will become understandable Characters 9/10 Only now, but some will find out how smart the characters are and what is behind their actions In fact, I did not want to comment now, but I had to, because most of the anime are oppressive despite their splendor, and some anime are overrated ash

Edit: As this season ends I got to say this anime got me hooked. At first they just kinda throw you in with 5 friends not really building any connections with them and your just kinda like okay.... But then as the series progresses it gets better and better. Can be a bit slow in the beginning, but the situations where people outsmart each other is the best parts of this show. Overall love it and can't wait for season 2


--Thoughts of episode 5 and more below---
Edit: I usually like to wait till the last episode to make an edit, but damn episode 5 really ...

I loved this series. This is my favourite anime this season. It was so intense and waiting a week for each episode was so painful but I loved it as well. Each episode had better cliff-hangers each episode and having a week to process and talk about what happened was great.

I do think in the 2nd last episode it was very fast paced and happened quickly and some scenes could've been better but still amazing overall. Some episodes had more impact than others learning secrets about each character and how they deal with it and their life is interesting. I did think they revealed the ...

This Show Really makes your brain think. Its one of the few shows that give you a real feeling of Danger about a character. The Games are soo complicated and have to be given real thought to be able to find ways through. The Solutions shown are all soo damn interesting to think about.

It Feels like the more the show goes on the more questions appear but just as many questions are answered. Its Full of Plot twists which add to the suspense and help build the characters and games. I'm Interested to see how the show continues (If it does) and what the ...

YUUICHI IS SAVAGE!!!!

Friendship game that only provides 2 choices, namely money or friends. If you choose money, then you have to break the bonds of friendship. But if you choose friends, then you must be prepared to accept a big debt. I mean come on just by hearing these words should make everyone interested in watching this anime.

The story in this anime is very dark, full of lies, full of mysteries and traps. At the beginning when watching this anime, I always felt like I was following a gamble because I had to always bet between trusting my friends one hundred percent or suspecting my ...

I felt bullied when I read harsh reviews about Tomodachi Game on this platform and others. I wanted to say it was not really good but I truly enjoyed it.

The animation wasn't great but the story was well written. don't Compare it to Squid Game, because this has a very different concept. Some people said in a review that: "If one of them said 'no' and didn't play the game the series would end!" Like, what kind of logic is that? If you think about all the other shows out there, with this kind of logic, you can end all of them in a ...

This review contains some vague spoilers.

To start off, this show, like many others this season, wasn't very great. It had a copycat storyline to a more popular show (Squid Game) and had very few unique qualities. Aside from that, it was a unique standout from the rest of this shows this season, so I continued to watch. Overall, it was very enjoyable to watch and had several surprises through the second half of the show.

Story 10/10

The story is only 10/10 for me because of how it ended. It starts off pretty normal and dumped upon about how one friend in a group is in debt ...

Full reveal, I started this anime with huge expectations after looking at the universal praise of the manga and its MC, I haven't read the manga hence this is purely an Anime only review.

Ok the start of this anime is pretty wack, imagine this, you get kidnapped and put in a strange place with your pals and a creepy-looking doll says “play the game and I'll reduce your debt”, would you trust the doll? OFC NOT ANY DUMB APE HUMAN WOULD REALIZE THEIR NUMERIC AVANTAGE AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THE DOLL and make a run for it, all the debt reduction bs is ...

Man, where do I start???
First of all, this anime, in my opinion, has the best psychology, so you understand me better, no one makes any mistakes, they all have a genius plan, but some characters have better plans than others, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT THAN THAT???
Oh, and not to mention the characters, especially the main character Yuuichi Katagiri. Here you can find characters of all kinds, you can't help but be obsessed with at least one character from this anime.
The idea of this anime is an extremely good one, with Tomodachi game or The Friendship Game, the games are very well thought out, ...

Alright, here's my shitty review:

Story: 8/10 the story and concept kinda reminds me of danganronpa and squid game

art: 5/10 not the best but not the worst. Just normal art

Sound: 9/10 do i even should say about this? Just a good sound

Character 8/10 they getting kinda good, but someone doesn't like them just because "not realistic", like bro it's anime not everything suppose to be realistic

**minor spoiler**
The show starts with the typical squid game-like setting, pretty self-explanatory, especially since the title involved "friends" and "game". You can kind of tell where this is going.

However, I cannot stop myself from continuing into watching the next episode of this show. The story progressed unexpectedly in the latter parts. I ultimately really enjoyed the show so far. The plot twist was unexpected and truly shocking.

If you can't tell already, I hold a different opinion than the seasonal anime viewers that only watch 3 episodes of each show. Tomodachi Game is underrated! I really enjoy the storyline so far, and it is ...

I read a lot of reviews to this anime and I consider them unfair.
It's not a great anime, it has its own problems, but it doesn't a bad anime at all.

Sorry for my bad English, It's not my native language.

Story 8/10

The story has a lot of plot holes, but is quite enjoyable.
It's interesting seeing the mc solving the problems in every chapter.
The last chapter was a little bit unnecessary, but it was good.

First of all i watch this show without any higher expectation but this show become better and better and Our MC is great , he know what he is doing unlike other useless MC licking other girl asses . many people didnt watch this show due to the similar name and kinda same trailer like
SQUID GAME but.......

This show is good and chracters are amazing maybe in starting you find them annoying and i enjoy this show more than spy family

Maybe i am being biased here 👀and i can surely say that its better than most of the spring shows

I don't write reviews on here often, but seeing all the "It's lazy cause it's dark" reviews has forced my hand. This story is a masterpiece, and it is worthy of your time. If you don't like dark themes, or flinch away from nuanced character portrayals, this story is not for you. It goes from making somber points about the human condition to being over the top violent and hype. It doesn't feel dark for the sake of being dark, each story beat is used to further explore our characters, who seem like weak cardboard cut outs at first but get significant depth as the ...

We all carry secrets that we prefer not to share. We rather not use those secrets to ruin the relationship with the people around us. In order to keep close to someone, we tuck it away to be forgotten and to make sure it does not harm you or other people. Sometimes though, those secrets bubble up onto the surface to the point you can no longer hide them. Through slipping up or it being revealed by someone else, a secret we rather not share could affect you and/or the people around you. But only then, will this be a true test to see if ...

What would you do if one of your kind, loving (and 20 million yen in debt) friends threw you into a mysterious game testing how far you’d go for friends and how little for money? Well, you don’t have any friends - but in Tomodachi Game or Friends Game you can find out the answer to this completely bizarre situation! Combining a little bit of mystery, a whole lot of mind games and a dash of an ending begging for a continuation; Tomodachi Game aims to present how close bonds between friends can really get.

Plot – 7/10 - Close 8, a few major plot holes ...

If anime met Squid game, Crab game, and Amongus all in one haha.

Story and characters: 7
To basically sum all of it up. Imagine a group of friends, a well build friendship, that gets a fractured due to funds being stolen that were raised. Only for them to wind up in this mess of a supposed game show that requires the team to go through all sorts, that really test not only them, but their friendship in general. It really has a psychological edge to it. By that I mean it really test any, and everyone, as we come to find out that this simple group ...
