| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well they introduced the main characters but honestly, this felt rushed. Arisu learns a bit about the game that he takes part of although I can tell that he is still confused as hell. With all the fire, countdown, and chaos going on, I'd say that their world is like a living hell. ED theme song is okay I guess. |
 |
| Hm, the manga hasn't ended yet and they only cover 3 part of the game.... Still the story of "survival game" is pretty interesting on my book. Arisu looks like Touma from Index/Railgun franchise except he's taller...I'm not expecting anything from him tough. |
"All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; only the dose permits something not to be poisonous"  PROJECT-ERASER |
| That was actually interesting and now I'm curious about the manga. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Now this is interesting. I think I'm gonna start reading this manga. |
 |
| Why no full length tho? This shit had me interested as fuck. |
| This OVA just screams "You should read the manga because this is going to be rushed as hell." So far, not curious about the manga but may change my mind after watching the rest. |
JadedAnimeLady said: This OVA just screams "You should read the manga because this is going to be rushed as hell." True. It was surprisingly impressive in my opinion. It was just the kind of story I was looking for in a long time. |
Juhnny said: So if they extended their stay for 3 days and they die after 3 days, what can they actually do to escape? I suppose the answer is "more games" but that wasn't really explained. I hope we will get an explanation what to do to get out of the game. |
   |
| I say this as someone who read a lot of survival game manga. This is one of the best out there and unrivaled in game design. |
| It was awesome, felt a little like btooom |
 |
| Nice, but the art & animation aren't up to today's standards... but Im going to read the manga soon |

| The first few minutes of the rainbow falling scene, robot unicorn attack was going through my mind |
 |
| This is good,. zombie's are missing though.. |
 |
| Very interesting. It's just a 3 ova series so of course it's gonna feel rushed. The working of the whole system in Borderland was nice. They have to play games to continue to live here and each game being different. I liked how Alice figures out how to complete the game using available clues. This "figuring things out through small clues" thing almost always gets me interested. It has a lot of potential if given a full length tv series. |
| Hmm it was kinda interesting :) Just wish they would have started running before doing all the explanation though the others might not have believed him without a valid reason... |
| i've actually never heard of this manga and i just checked this out to give it a try. At first, the character animation had me laughing a bit cuz it feels so outdated but for some reason I continued watching. I didn't really get much out of this episode but i really like the tone in a lot of these scenes, it's pretty awesome. Judging from everyone's comments, I'll probably enjoy this a lot more by reading the manga. |
| The cast of Free in a death game OMG WHY ISN"T THIS A FULL SERIES T____T |
| sure, being able to survive while running through fire arrows.... also dying from a meteorite impact when your visa expires... ALRIGHTY this is too absurd for me, even for a survival game... |
| I get that the main protagonist said 6.9 billion to lessen the difference (still a lot of flaming arrows), but couldn't he explain the plan first and give themselves a head start. I don't think there was any mentioning of a rule where you need to say the answer at a particular spot after getting the fortune slip. |
| Good first episode. Introduction of the main characters. And the animation was nice here and there. |

 |
| Not a bad start with some interesting problems. Most things are explained well enough so I will just sit back and let the good times roll.....or the flaming arrows fall. |
 |
| Now this is interesting..........has a compact setting with a supernatural feel. Also, if they knew the direction of the flaming arrows, shouldn't they find a cover first instead of running??( my gamer instincts are screaming) |
| I would love to have this in a longer show. Bit rushed, but can't help it. I really love this and wish to see more such shows. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Interesting stuff. He wished to go somewhere else and his wish was granted. I hope that there are other dangers in games except flame arrows. |
 |
| This can certainly prove to be pretty interesting. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Interesting premise, hope we can get a tv version soon |
| It was okay. Some of the dialogue was pretty pathetic though. I want to go anywhere but here. I want to go home. ^ this anime |
  |
| I'm gonna watch the fuck out of this show then read the fuck out of the manga |

| that had the pace of a bullet train xD |
💢   |
| Arisu annoys the hell out of me. Thanks Karube for putting some sense into him. |
 |
| nothing special really it just feels like a cheap rip off of gantz heard that the manga is a lot better |
