Judging by the news that there will be two cours, all 6 volumes of the manga will be filmed, which according to the first series is too fast a narrative and a good opening, plus a pleasant heroine with a smart main character.

The anime gonna adapt the part 1 and 2 of the manga, it as been annonced.
| @JaysonNnN Is it true? I just couldn't find any information about it. Then the pace of the narrative is very strange, considering that 6 volumes have been released, on mangaupdates the status of the manga is completed, which seems to hint that one arc takes on average 2 volumes, and if only 2 arcs are adapted, then the pace of the narrative is very strange for the first series. |
| I actually like the core premise, at least as far as dumb death games go, but the execution was real weak. The intro looked incredibly cheap, and I'm so confused what it was trying to convey when the guy had a gun and the scene started jumping around. If the intro was so bad because they genuinely killed off all the guys who featured so heavily in it then absolutely well played, but I don't buy it. It's going to be some fake out. Ideally of a sort that explains what happened in the gun scenes. Going to stick with it, but I've got way more hope for the unintentional comedy of another King's Game than anything compelling. |
| Well then. That was pretty bad LOL I knew this was going to be pretty bad, but this is somehow worse than I thought it'd be. I might give the next two episodes a shot, maybe not, not really sure because wow that kinda sucked Edit: The MC's parents are probably going to have something to do with this right? The way the MC talked about them makes me think that, but also wasn't the mom's face blurred out in the OP or something like that? I didn't get a good look, tbh I hate the OP too lol |

Mangaka Taiga Miyakawa's death game manga, to which NO information is known about it in English at least, now being adapted into an anime. The real question is, will this finally be our anime equivalent to Squid Game, or will Tomodachi Game forever hold that title?
Vivarush's OP is generic, by all fronts. Same to be said about issey's ED.
From the minute this show started with a whole scene with the MC, Saneatsu, enjoying life and going to school and such, something was bound to happen. And not anything good, that is. To obviously give the MC a motive and grudge against this whole game they have to kill of his best friend ofc. Then to what I would assume will be our main group of character for now, because some give off that so generic, they're bound to die in the first three episodes vibe.
And in typical death game anime fashion, the glasses dude is the traitor, and by traitor, THIS DUDE WAS READY TO KILL THESE DUDES WITH A GUN... A GUN. And at the ending, their friend's intense death face pops up first. Lol, is that supposed to be the highlight every time.
Interesting enough start. And okay start even. Nothing more, nothing less. This being 2-cour makes me worried, for many reasons.

| @IzanaSolos The west has fallen if we're calling tomodachi game the anime version of squid game when squid game is inspired by a manga that has an anime |
| This looks absurdly bad |
| Oh god where do I even begin… Almost everytime there is a survival game anime made its bad. From the start its very hard theme to make right this one of the do it very greatly or you dont. The main point is characters and their actions if they written poorly we can forget about an good anime. And this anime is amazing example to this. Characters acts dumb as fuck and not realistic at all. No one gonna be that chill when something like this happens at least bring real emotions.Im sure everybody gonna be chill when their all family died amd the idea to go home for the night and come back at the morning to school is the dumbest shit I ever heard in my life so you don’t eben know what happens and you wanna split ? Not even sa smaller groups of 2-3 people no everybody go to home alone. The last question was woman or man which is can be interesting question because as for now we see a lot of less woman then man but in the end we see that man choose man and woman choose woman as Im gonna guess well maybe Im wrong. This is the actually the part that they should make longer how and why someone chooses the answer in the psychological situation that they are right now. Is there are equal amount of woman and man or less woman from the point of view of who survived their school? Do other man gonna choose woman thinking the same think? I dont care that MC gonna blush when the girl touches him who tf cares. Give me anime with good written characters who try to survive |

| I didn't have high expectations for this, but I was still kind of hoping it would surprise me and be a hidden gem among dozens of dull high stakes game anime... Sadly, that wasn't the case. The first episode was already very fast-paced and high tension yet it wasn't engaging at all – I don't think I've ever seen a suspense show pilot with less substance than this. Even the shock value scenes, which are usually the saving grace for many B-tier psychological shows, were completely bland and felt meaningless. Not going to continue next week. |

| I usually enjoy survival game anime but this was uhmm really disappointing.. I'm not even sure I'll make it through first 3 episodes but I'll do my best lol |
| By now I don’t understand why the low rate, maybe the used theme of death games (like Alice in borderland, Squid Game, Tomodachi games or the recently aired God’s games we play), the average animation or the fact that there’s no information about it’s source material. But in my opinion, this is getting interesting, I’m giving this an opportunity, lets see how the Story unfolds. Ngl, “I’m gonna shoot you”,”I refuse” is nonsense but yeah, the 3 eps rules. |

| If it was some years ago i would watch for sure. It is 2-cour of a complete trainwreck series, i can't handle this anymore. |
| Damn this was bad. Like, REALLY bad. No coherent transition between scenes, extremely rushed plot, awful voice acting, extremely generic character design. First episode and this is already profiling itself as candidate for the worst anime of the season. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| It honestly looks really bad, and the whole episode is just a mess. I'm guessing there isn't a MC and more like we'll move onto different characters, but I wasn't expecting the guy to die. |
 |
| Boy oh boy, it's time for a new entry into everyone's favorite punching bag of a genre: stupid death games! Having a 5.5 rating after one episode is always a good sign. The real question is, will MAL hate it more than Satelight apparently did, based on how hard they phoned this one in? That said, I am a bit interested in the idea of only the girls remaining, especially since they haven't been written as moe blobs so far. |
 |
| Not sure how to feel about this one, I typically like these sort of death game animes/games- big fan of danganronpa and your turn to die, for example. First issue I've faced with this is it's moving so fast, why should I care if these characters are dead?? I don't even know most of their names, why should I care if the mc's best friend died or the president died? We barely got to see anything about them? Character death doesn't mean anything if you haven't had time to get to know and like that character, which seems to be a big issue with these kinds of shows where they just simply don't give the viewer enough time to grow attached to the character's they're killing off. The obvious romance they were pushing between the two main charas was annoying, honestly I wouldn't mind if the mc is actually dead and the show's going to follow the girl. However I doubt that, feel like something's going to happen with that privilege thing. Also honestly I doubt every male character died, there seemed to be male charas in the ending and opening they were going to build on. Either way, this is just meh to me right now. Going to keep watching cause I am curious to see how they're gonna handle this, but that's about it |

| Yay, another one of them hilariously bad death game titles! |
・
| You know you are in a treat for bad stuff when they don't bother coloring background characters and when they take shortcuts and reuse backgrounds. You are suppose to put your best foot forward, not take shortcuts first ten minutes. Absolute minimum of animation. Minimum number of dynamic frames. Just static image with panning camera or moving mouths. Half of the shots are frontal with lazy background and monologue. On top of that shit acting nails it. High school kids lost ALL of their beloved ones, all relatives, all friends, all crushes and no a single one can muster a hysterical reaction. Some even seem bored by it. In fact they reacted more about class president dying than their parents, friends and pets. |

Wtf , mc died in first episode?
This is one of the most fast paced/ confusing death game i've ever seen .
But due to how ridiculous the whole premise is right now, i am curious to see what's going to happen next despite this might be dog shit in the end XD.

| @Ventus_S Since "test run" was mentioned am assuming next episode everything is going to return as it was with MC being confused and some screaming, typical of japanese protagonist. Then mystery comes from them trying to figure out what's going on and expecting what comes next. |
| We have danganronpa at home |

In fact it's more complicated than that.
It's like Jojo's, there are several parts and each part restarts volume 1.
The first 6 volumes marked as "finished" constitute part 1 of the manga.
The difference with Jojo's is that each part is a direct sequel.
In short, each part = a different manga, but it's the same story that continues each time.
The manga is currently in its part 4, which is still in progress.
The anime will adapt parts 1 and 2.
It was the official twitter of the anime and the manga (and even the mangaka) who confirmed it, notably the tweet on the most recent Key Visual.
That's all there is to know, it's just that outside of Japan, it's completely unknown, so even MAL or mangaupdates don't have all the data.
| @JaysonNnN Thanks for the explanation. |
| I refuse *gets shot *surprised Pikachu face |
 |
| How is Emperor killing people? If half the people died who cleaned up all the bodies? Is the apparent main character actually dead? It's probably not a good sign after the first episode I'm not actually that interested in the answers to any of those questions. No character left any impression at all, the game is kind of convoluted, the mechanics described so far aren't all that interesting, pacing was kind of odd. I'll give it a couple more episodes since I haven't seen many death game shows before but so far it's not clicking for me. |
| Kinda confused but let's see how it goes.. |

What The .......the choice at the end Male or Female. The MC died.... WTF??!!
| @AnimeFan500 Interestingly, the first thing I noticed in the character/Cast lineup is ... they are all listed as supporting characters with no "Main" |
