I seriously hope not. They have much better franchises to adapt. I rarely think an anime is absolute trash, but this is a huge exception

At this point, it's rather another company start adapting it from start, cause I have heard the anime left out a lot of stuff compared to the manga

This is MAL, can’t expect much. With post like this, half of the time the first few comments are always ppl that disliked the adaptation or series as a whole.

Don’t worry about all the bias and hate, just ignore claims that the anime was “boring”, that’s what people who can’t honesty critique an anime say, or readers of the written material say when it is not copied exactly like they wanted.

There is the written material and there is the anime production, these are not always the same, and each should be judged independently, since this is a regular occurrence in anime.

This anime was enjoyable and entertaining.

I also wish it had a second season.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@SnowHelation oh i see..like this anime is good imo like I enjoyed watching it…and I didn’t get how this anime is”trash”.
If it’s “trash” this anime must have bad things such as bad story,bad animation,bad voice actor/actress,isn’t watchable etc.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight & Darwin’s Game are the best anime series this anime company has done.

To call Darwin’s Game trash is like admitting you don’t like good characters, interactions, dialogue, plot, animation, sound and music.

The Eminence in Shadow is just a terribly awful and unenjoyable parody of isekai anime. It had the potential to be good, but it does not compare at all to the above anime. Every misunderstanding in that anime happens because of lazy or absolutely no communication, plus the entire anime is embarrassingly predictable. I definitely expected more from such a hyped anime, but it is a disappointment.

However, I will give a nod to the character designers, animators, background artists, voice actors, sound and music crew, (etc etc), they did the best they could, and one of the best parts of the anime is the classical music that was played in the first season.

Not every anime can get a second season, not to mention the fact that Shadow you're comparing it to has a completely different situation and even came out in a different time.

DVD sales were bad, that's the reason. And literally every survival genre anime never gets a sequel, idk why lol

The show might not be amazing but it's fun and enjoyable.

If you haven't seen it watch it for yourself and judge it with your own opinion.

If you don't like it, I don't get why your in the comment sections having a cry.

I hope for a season 2 but like most animes it only really happens for shows they can milk it with merchandise

Just remember you saying it's bad doesn't make it so, same goes with me saying it's good.

If you don't like it move on with your life and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy

@Apratim I wish there were more survival anime like this one, Btooom or Tomodachi Game. Still waiting for an anime adaptation of Cage of Eden and Battle Royale.

Darwin's Game was a lot of fun, loved it. Chances of season 2 is low though considering that the manga has ended.

im sure it is due tk popularity, I am here in 2024 on March 24 and can say that this anime was not very popular when it released, was forgotten about as other better shows where airing, from what I can remember. The anime clearly fucked up I think it had potential as people are commenting. However, it inevitably failed at its execution.The Opening was amazing.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.

My interpretation of why is simply: they backed themselves into a corner.

When the Anime released, they cut Out various parts from the manga which, at the time, were "unimportant" - but after a while turned out to be REALLY important for the plot to still make Sense.

Overall Darwins Game is fairly well written, and the author has put alot of thought into the figures that show up - each of them is important in their own ways and sorta cant be cut without having to either alter the plot importantly or devote 2-3 episodes to flashbacks (which are notoriously hated) or alternatively like an entire Episode worth of exposition. It just isnt viable for many studios to tank an entire Season just to reintroduce their previously cut characters.

Ontop of that the japanese (and core) audience is very famous for being extremely against any changes from the source material. Small changes? Yeah maybe. We saw this with stuff like Highschool DxD where the Studio made a change that was honestly for the better imo, japanese fans were extremely against it, and now we have a new studio which released a season 4 and nothing else because now the *western* audience was confused as fuck about why the characters look arguably worse (although in some aspects closer to the original).

Edit: Forgot to mention this, but the manga is written in a way where there is not really a good way to end a season after the point now up until maybe a few more episodes. If they had included all necessary characters and scenes they wouldve easily gotten 24 eps in by the time they reached this point. Iirc the end point is like 50 chapters into the manga, while the anime spent like 12 episodes and handily cut alot.
If you want to make the arguement "hey, it would only be at like 16 or so episodes" now you have the issue of another 10 or so chapters being spent on just the would-be next arc. And it doesnt properly lead into a good ending point, nor that afterwards, etc.
