| Everyone should die already, outside of Natsuko that is, even though she totally crazy, she has more sense than the rest of the class, they are simply just too dumb to live.... Letting Natsuko getting away with everything, or dying for the sake of Nobuaki. These so called classmates are braindead folder, actually the king doing favor for the world getting rid of them, so DUMB they deservete to die |

Another may not have been a masterpiece, but at least is was focused and consistent. Unlike Ousama Game, the first portion of Another was not a massive kill-fest. A strong focus was put on building the ambiance of mystery and the unknown, allowing a slow build to a much more satisfying climax. In addition, the viewers were given an opportunity to emotionally connect with the character before they displayed the worse sides of themselves, falling into the depths of depravity. The cast's progression towards madness is far better paced. Ousama Game spends no time on developing characters. Because everyone immediately devolves into murderous psychos, there's no way to establish an emotional connection with the characters, much less come to like any of them. Furthermore, the story telling method is unfocused and sloppy. Constantly bouncing between the past game and the present game further weakens the show's characterization because its impossible to keep track of a cast of nearly 50 characters. Nobukai is a boring, generic protagonist who is overly invested in people he doesn't even know, or else he does know them and the show just didn't feel like actually showing him getting to know them. Another was a decent mystery anime. The final solution was a bit of a deus ex machina, but it at least established a good atmosphere of suspense. Ousama Game has terrible pacing and is an unfocused mess. It tries to be dramatic despite the utter lack of any interesting characters makes those attempts pointless. I think Ousama Game would've been a lot better if it was a 25 episode anime because there could've been room for development and improvement. I don't think its a TOTAL bad anime. I'm pretty sure there is worst animes than this. I just want to see what happens at the end. But I definitely DO feel they should've made this anime a couple of seasons worth so we actually can get to know the characters more; and it probably would've flowed better like Mirai Nikki. Sometimes 12 episodes....you just end up rushing it. Especially when you throw in too many characters. Angel Beats sort of did that and it was rushed. |
| Just push the bitch outta the way! |
 |
| wait aactually this was the worst episode so far lol. im going to give this anime a sarcastic 10 no joke |
| That slap was great and that kick on the balls was great as well. One more episode left and then its over!! |
| Please let Riona be alive. Don’t give us an ending where Nobuaki is the last survivor again and been give an option of continuing the game or punishment again. |

Yeah, actually separating the two halves of the story into two seasons would have improved things. Alhough, I don't know if there would have been enough content for 25 episodes, maybe more like 22. Even then, I don't know if that alone would be enough to make it good. I read the Ousma Game manga, and the characterization was still pretty weak in that. Granted, I also read Ousama Game: Kigen, it was pretty solid, and I never actually read Ousama Game: Shuukyoku; maybe it would have turned out fine if it wasn't being rushed. I almost wish they'd just adapted Ousama Game: Kigen instead, on account of the stronger characters, more coherent story, and the killer being a tangible virus instead of a computer virus (which makes a bit more sense). |
| this is the story of how nobuaki convinced a bunch of girls to fall in love with him and then die for him |
| She couldn't have landed a better shot tripping off the cliff like that...that and the zombies were actually funny lol |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| No,no, no i think this not end in the next episode... |
| man, too bad Nobuaki didn't die... but why Masatoshi punished?? isn't he already dead?? lol, their lives depend on rock, paper, scissor... lol so happy Nobuaki kicked in the ball... really nice it so funny that there's pitt out of nowhere... those zombies... lol wonder how this show ends... |

| The animation while Nobuaki and Riona were fighting was downright awful. I know they haven't even been trying since episode 1 but they can at least make it LOOK LIKE they are. Also can we talk about the end of this episode???? 5 left alive? Why did the show just decide the other 3 are dead? I get the girl that fell off the cliff but the guy with the broken foot TECHNICALLY is still alive... he may even be ahead of Nobuaki's group. So why is he considered dead? The girl that fell down the hill was even further ahead than him. She can't just walk around? I hate this anime yo, it's logic is so mind numbingly inconsistent. |
| Another great episode I hope Natsuko wins Blue_Pie_Ninja said: Yhuichy said: please don't. It's reasons like this that Code Geass is within the top 20 anime.wait aactually this was the worst episode so far lol. im going to give this anime a sarcastic 10 no joke Code Geass deserve to be on top 5, it one of the best shows in all time Ousama Game deserve at least 7/10 |
| So why exactly Nobuaki didn't get punished? He clearly didn't kill Chievi, he didn't even hold the knife or anything. And not only he didn't get punished but "obedience confirmed"?? Bullshit. This anime is seriously physically hurts. So much stupidity. Only one episode left, thank god. BTW how the hell Rina didn't see Takuya lying on the ground before she fell over him? xDD |
| Nobody realised this? Before opening After opening Now she is a magician and can change her clothes lol |
Fakiko said: Nobody realised this? Before opening After opening Now she is a magician and can change her clothes lol LMAO I noticed this as well. Man I'm so glad I picked this up what a glorious trainwreck. Also what the fuck is Natsuko gonna do, like she could hold off 4 people on her own LMAO. |

I agree. Like if they did the first game first and we actually got to know the characters. I think this series would've been the series of the season. tbh. Maybe not a master piece, but it would've been executed so much better. Lmao. As I watch the episodes, I am rewriting the scenes in my head. But you're probably right about not being enough content. I don't think I've read the Kigen, but I should give a look into it. I'm more of an anime watcher than a reader. Because the way they did it, its all over the place but I just want to see what happens at the end because once I start a series, I can't really stop it especially with my favorite genre. |
| Hello everyone, for those of you who actually really like this show can I get the legitimate reasoning for this? How is it possible that each episode is worse than the last. What the fuck did I just watch? How dumb can this be??? Like seriously? And will someone. ANYONE. Kill Natsuko please. Please. Also, I call BS. Why did it count for Chiemi to forcefully use Nobuaki's hands to kill herself (c'mon she committed suicide!) but when that chick tried to use the hands of that dead guy to grope her chest it didn't work? I mean the Ousama gave her an impossible order for real then. But why am I trying to find logic at this point. Aimi (and many others) spontaneously had their heads (and limbs) removed from their bodies by a virus. Doesn't get much more practical than that.

Sometimes 12 episodes....you just end up rushing it. Especially when you throw in too many characters. Angel Beats sort of did that and it was rushed. So basically your theory is that if we had to suffer through an additional 12 episodes it would somehow get better? This theory only really holds true if the anime is skipping tons of important details from the manga that rationalizes the idiocy of the cast and fixes the over-the-top theatrics. No, the only way for this story to be better is if: 1) Nobuaki get's a new VA (sorry Mamoru I love you but this kid isn't for you). and 2) These kids stop acting like fucking retards. I don't know how to explain it without just giving examples. The chick who fell off the cliff because she was seeing things. She was fucking acting like the toughest bitch on the block. Cussed out the poor grieving crying kid for CRYING--like stfu he has every reason to cry. At least he was still running--then does a whole bunch of shit that is unnecessary and doesnt make sense. _______Exhibit A) she kicks the dude with the broken leg in the face. Why? He's an asshole sure, but that was pretty cruel. He already had a broken leg was it necessary to kick him in the face? I mean if he was grabbing your leg and making it impossible to escape that's one thing, but he was just begging for help (which btw was stupid on his part. he knew what he did, yet he expects the other's to help him? and then has the nerve to ask "why is this happening to me?" because you're evil and dumb. gtfo, die.). ______Exhibit B) although she was ultimately right to go on the path Natsuko told that other girl to take just why did she decide that? (As a matter of fact how did she even meet up with her?) The girl had good reason to ignore Natsuko (although personally I thought it was stupid she fell for that reverse psychology) but for her to think that Natsuko's advice was right just because she herself had already succeeded is illogical. It's called lying. It was still very much possible for Natsuko to be lyinnnng. ______C) she leaves her "friend" behind, but called out that dude for what he did. Survival of the fittest I know, but what makes this even more ridiculous is this next part. ______D) If she was gonna feel so guilty that she'd essentially go insane and basically fall off a cliff (don't fucking tell me she just tripped. LOOK AT YOUR SURROUNDINGS. BE MORE CAUTIOUS. HOW THE FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN) for abandoning people, then why/how did she even do it. Go back. Save the girl (AFTER reaching the destination since you're already there you dumbass. WHY ARE YOU LETTING THE PSYCHO KNOW AS NATSUKO TALK SHIT TO YOU). 3) The Ousama NOT be a virus. Or for the virus to at least kill people in more reasonable/explainable ways (i.e. have heart failure because the phone or something secretes some kind of lethal drug). Having your head explode or combusting into flames is ridiculous. It's obviously there for a shock/cool factor but it's just fucking dumb. Nah this show is irredeemable. I can't T-T I feel like i'm just pointing out shit EVERYONE on God's Green Earth, already knows. Let me cleanse my soul by going back to better things. Houseki and Ballroom are calling for me. |

Fakiko said: Nobody realised this? Before opening After opening Now she is a magician and can change her clothes lol Possibly the single best decision the entire show made, not that that's a particularly high bar. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| and this is correct, visually the animation was horrible, very poor!!! |
Fakiko said: Nobody realised this? Before opening After opening Now she is a magician and can change her clothes lol Ok seriously!! Look under her hair in the first picture you can see her sports bra... she literally just pulled her top down and tied it around her waist!! It's not magic!! Secondly... do we know he continued the game?? I missed the part where he clicked the button...maybe he took the punushment and lost something else but wound up back here cause of sister psyco? Guaranteed she didnt take the punushment!! Can't really compare the suicide to the boob grab cause the grabber was dead... more he didn't stop her cause she got away pretty easy so he let her do it :/ The series isn't great but there are possible explanations for most of the plot holes |
| That's right. Also Nobuaki didn't have to chose between continuing the game or punishment. He just won. I didn't think the anime can screw up this badly... |
 |
| So Nobuaki didn't die. Well, one more episode. |
 |
| Ousama the convienient Game. Oh we need more cliff. Done. Convienient! The first girl is thinking Natsuko gonna lie? She did not. Convienient. The second girl is all like: "Natsuko got there so she knows"(total bullshit anyway). So if the second girl was faster then Natsuko bluff won`t work. WELL CONVIENIENT. Those cliff? Convienient. Nobuaki not dying? Oh. People die when they are killed, kinda twice. Everyone is an asshole and abusing every one to get in time, but nobody do anything about Natsuko. So convienient. The only decent part about this show is Rionna, kind of. The love story is cringe though. If Nobuaki wanted to play the game then he is the worst character in this show. But it was probably something like "I gonna get your ass you stupid king". Or something. Punishment for winning. HOW STUPID. This destroys any motivation to do anything. One of the worst revelation of all time in anime. |
| Wow. This anime is really dumb. One of the worst I've ever seen. Every episode seems more stupid. about ep11: "A wild cliff appeared." |
| So was Nobuaki who took the king's game to them, not Natsuko. Natsuko will be the only survivor? I'll like. |
 |
| The animation quality gets shittier and shittier. While they were running in the first scene, their heads were big and bodies were disproportionate to the size of their heads. Riona is falling in love with the fucktard, Nobuaki, barf. She's becoming less and less rational. This is turning into a shitty harem with dead cunts. Were we supposed to cry when Chiemi killed herself for her jerkwad boyfriend who made her rape his best friend? lol Natsuko's a bitch but she's playing this smart and dirty, real dirty and I like that fucked up side of her more than the other idiots in this series. Anyway, in the end, I just want them all to die. |
| 臭い- |
| Atleat now we know how Chiemi kicked the bucket, a rather cruel way to go out. It also means Nobuaki and Natsuko brought the game to the class, because it seems if you survive it sends you a text to continue or receive punishment. |

| Best comedy I've watched in ages. Guilty pleasure of mine but why did the guy who drowned get punished when he was already dead, right? Not expecting this show to make sense so oh well. Also, anyone know if the original Japanese version is censored? It's irritating that they didn't censor it until two thirds in... |

| omg this episode was just so INFURIATING to watch there was just so many things wrong just ready to finish this garbage and see what kind of shitty ending they manage to pull out lmao |
| Nobuaki's plot armor is too damn high. Still wondering if Natsuko has some kind of supernatural power. If she really have it then that illusion and zombie scenes make sense, and OFC the class stupidity. Rina's trying to become the second Natsuko and died. Serves her right. Welp, at least I'm curious how this show will conclude |

 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| Nobuaki is really a pussy magnet xD well now only one episode left it's going to be Nobuaki vs Natsuko I guess... I hope for a not too bad ending. |
 |
| General quality of the anime aside, Aimi's story honestly reached me. Natsuko helped her improve her life condition (battling her asthma), gave her self-confidence, and was a legitimate friend. In times of peace, Natsuko was a good person. Then the King's Game happened and Aimi saw, to her horror, how her precious friend could be when it's time to fight for survival. Natsuko isn't inherently a bad person, she's just very serious about wanting to survive under these conditions. Aimi has feelings for her, and while not completely blind to what Natsuko did throughout the story up to this point, she's closing her eyes to it because of her feelings. Ever since the broken fingers game, Aimi's heart has been tossed around by Natsuko. For a person in love (even if she doesn't quite realize her feelings yet, I'm not sure... it's unclear), it's very difficult to accept that the person most precious to you is using you. And she did finally realize the truth during episodes 10 and 11, and started seeing and accepting Nobuaki's viewpoint. Aimi grew to no longer be Natsuko's puppet, choosing instead to die so Nobuaki can live. And even despite all this, her love doesn't falter. Her feelings remain, but she chose to stand up to Natsuko in her own way. Dying so she can't be used as a shield by Natsuko any further, and so Nobuaki, the only person left who is actively standing up to Natsuko, can keep going. Perhaps I'm just that one weirdo, but I think Aimi is underrated. She is arguably the character undergoing the most change and growth in the whole series. Gaining acceptance throughout all she's gone through, including Natsuko's abuse. (And I truly believe that Natsuko saw her as a friend before the King's Game came up and she started viewing Aimi as a discardable ally to use as a shield.) |

| lmfao the characters in this are so fucking dumb. the way that black haired ponytail girl died was HILARIOUS. first shes level headed. Then becomes a complete bitch. Then turns into a complete little bitch. That stupid bitch Aimi also had a very well deserved death. |
