Is there any valid reason to hate this series? I do agree the animation isn't top notch but it isn't that bad either. Anime with mind games tend to have lots of asspull and plotholes yet I haven't seen flaws till now. I'm genuinely asking because I couldn't find any reason to say this show as bad.

It's a very edgy and dumb fun type of series for me but my problem with the anime is that it really doesn't do justice to the great art and the facial expressions of the manga.

I don’t hate this series because I quite like the manga, the only thing I dislike about the anime is the quality. The manga art is wayyyyyyy beyond.

Purely BIAS against enjoying edgy shows, people are a lot more critical when it comes to the plot of the shows like these compared to le wholesome and comedy/meme'y shows like Spy x Family that has all its faults forgiven.

Cause,it is superficial and bland,with EVERYTHING. I was expecting good stuff from the 3rd game thanks to my manga reading friends,so i decided to read it myself and can confirm that it also is crude and shitty.

As a manga reader: I hate it cuz it's rushed, animation is bad, visual effects are cringy most of the time, they are cutting too many enjoyable dialogues between the characters making them look way too bland and of course... Yuuichi's expressions (which is simply edgy but awesome in the manga) are simply cringy in the adaptation.


Some anime-onlys are hating bc: tHe MaIn cASt iS sO DuMb aNd uNreAl, wHy woUlD tHey aCcEpt To pLaY a gaMe tO hElp a fRieNd wHo HaS alReAdy bEtRayEd tHem iN fIrsT pLacE? 🤓🤓 tHeY doN'T eVEn sEeM tO be FrIenDs, tHe tItlE oF thE sHow hAS tHe woRd "TOMODACHI" sO thEy wERe sUppOsEd tO bE fRIenDs bUt thEy aRen'T 🤓

Some other anime-only simply hate how edgy it is and hate the way the MC is portrayed as genius (when in reality that's not even the case). Others hate how the admins keep on giving overexplanation of unecessary things (and ngl i agree with them in this point, even in the manga the admins are annoying af). Others simply say that the anime treats its audience as dumb people who can't even understand basic things (that's also a problem i had with the manga).


But the fact is: if you are really invested in the show, invested on the tricks and the strategy the characters have you might really enjoy it. As you said, there's no ass-pull and no deus ex-machine and if you try thinking about the situations the characters are in for more than 5 minutes you can see how interesting and smart the games and the strategies are set up.

if people seriously think that it should be rated 1 lower than the manga because of facial expressions then somethings gone wrong xD it’s still good
i’d rate the manga a 9 and the series a 9 tbh (although the series is slightly worse than the manga so 8.9)

There certainly are plot holes but I think the main issue is how cringe inducing elements of the show are. The story doesn’t really make a lot of sense either and pretty much none of the characters act in a way that any real person would ever act.

I think if you can put that behind you it can be quite enjoyable but with how little it makes sense I don’t think it could reasonably be described as good.

The first two games were pretty boring and the characters were meh but I (and by the changing score) a lot of other people are enjoying this third game more.

Essentially I see it as a show that knows how to be fun and enjoyable but sacrifices a lot quality to get there. I don’t think the dislike has anything whatsoever to do with animation or production quality. All the voice acting and sound design is pretty solid and the animation does precisely what it needs to in this type of show, be a vessel for the characters and story. It’s the characters and story that are lacking. Perhaps manga readers miss the art that I’ve heard is quite good but anime-only people won’t know any difference.

I originally quite disliked it after the first 4 or 5 episodes but recently I’ve been enjoying it a fair bit more than I ever thought I would. I’ll finish it and watch future seasons if they make them. I think I’m torn between a high 6 and low 7. The first half was a 4-5/10 for me but I’ve enjoyed the second half enough for a 7/10. So I might stick with 6 or I might up it to a 7.

thats exactly my point, while the anime won’t be able to have moments like this it hasn’t got to many other probably i think (possibly pacing) I could see someone rate it lower because they don’t like pacing but for facial expressions? That’s just getting stupid

Well it's not just facial expressions, I think the manga does a much better job in creating the proper atmosphere and there's much more tension.
I just said that facial expressions and the great art of the manga were something that I could never see in the anime because I really enjoyed the manga because of those. Not saying the anime is bad but I just gave my issue on the anime.

I don't care about any of the characters, I barely remember their names because there is no development or even them having a good personality, they're all based on personality cliches. I don't care about the friendship because it's not developed either. The pacing is very bad, instead taking an episode or two to develop the relationship between the main cast, within 5 minutes they're thrown into the game, which their rich friend could've payed off and said he would, but they're playing this game because they want to save the onethat betrayed them? it's just a lot of stupid shit woven together.

It's at the end of chapter 63.
I meant if the anime were to adapt a scene such as that it most likely wouldn't do it justice but they may not even adapt it at all because from what I've watched the anime has been cutting out multiple dialogues between the characters.

It's edgy because the anime makes Yuuichi feel edgy. All the characters feel pretty superficial on the anime, and when the adaptation is this bad people won't even try checking out the manga, which is a shame.

yes, very valid, here are the notes I wrote down as the episodes aired:

Notes:
Beginning has an extreme lacking problem, but it definitely is setting itself up to be interesting, first episode sucked big time

No build on characters on episode 1, I dont know or care about any of them therefore what's the point of a death game at this point in time? For a show that translates to Friends Game it does a pretty ass job

Death Games can't handle exposition, the narration characters theyve added add nothing to the show, if anything it takes away from it because it feels less personal and more an excuse for lazy explanation and writing too difficult for anyone to understand

Sloppy writing, edgy teenager bait, pretending to be something it isnt

Because I was born before 2004, have seen more than 30 anime and have a mean score less than 8.0 (only half joking)

It's neither mentally stimulating nor is it mindlessly entertaining, it's simply predictable, edgy garbage with laughable directing and a stupid cast, aimed at teens green behind the ears.

For me the show would be more enjoyable if it went full-on trashy and made everyone a dramatic douchebag, but instead it tries to justify the MC too much which makes it annoying. He’s also too competent compared with everyone else.

Bruh what you guy on, this anime and manga is god tier. Y’all probably the type of people who watch rent a girlfriend and like the down bad main character. Katagiri yuichi is by far the best main character this year and in my opinion the best ever. This dude is a genius and is ruthless, unlike some other main characters. Man I’ve seen so many anime where the main character gets overpowered but doing nothing or character who take forever to confess. The anime and manga industry needs more characters like yuichi.

I agree that it's very edgy, but it's been ridiculously boring and insanely long-winded when it comes to making sure the audience knows every detail even when every twist and turn is painfully obvious. Now if it was fun like King's Game, then I'd love it for the craziness, but this is a snoozefest.

Now Shoujo Site is a grade a dumpster fire that I can stare at all night. Is it a good show? God no. Is it entertaining? Definitely. Tomodachi Game wishes it could be a tenth as edgy as Shoujo Site.
