| This is trash, but it's my kind of trash. Don't love the ultimate gamer thing, but it doesn't really matter once the death games start. His power is interesting in theory, but if poorly written it'll just make the outcomes totally arbitrary. Hard to say yet whether the justifications will be cool. |
| Sweet, it was nice hearing jakuzure's voice actor. I'm not the biggest fan of the art but the classic death battle setup isn't one I hate. Hopefully I'll like the following episode |
 |
| this wasn't like 100% trash but it's still pretty fugly to look at mc is quite cringe with his gamer personality but hes your typical high schooler ya know just able to handle a mr X ripoff right off the bat though it's hard to take much of it seriously with how straight to the point it is in hey this a death game but hey plus one for not being a isekai i guess? |
 |
| A pretty good start. Obviously, going into it I was expecting a big brain version of Darwin's Game, which I didn't mind. However, the main separation between this and Darwin's Game is that the main character actually has an interesting ability. It's also somewhat of a change to follow a character who—for all intents and purposes—would be placed in the main antagonist spot in many series. He has an inherent advantage and is receiving special attention, which is generally the traits of a character a normal protagonist would have to overcome. Looking forward to seeing how it develops. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| please 24 episodes please 24 episodes |
 |
| Standard edgelord battle royale. At least MC is not a whiny boy and can make logical decisions + bespectacled nerdy girl, so I'm in until I'll be bored. |
| Good 1st episode !!! I hope it will be 24 episodes !!! |
| oh nice start! this is similar to those shows where you get selected and no other choice but to duke it out till your least breath! people who will survive this will be mostly rely on their intellectual capability or luck that you have a very good ability and has a total control of it! 5/5. |
 |
| I would love to see greenhaired girl superpower asap, she looks supainteresting for me tho btw for everyone who feels into death battles one great FTD-show was also released by netflix this summer -- Shuumatsu no Walküre - check it out. But Walkure is only watchable at 1.5x speed since it's slideshow |
 |
| Oh shit, it's Nonon's voice actor as Mion! This is pretty much only the third time I have encountered her voice which is a shame, I lover her voice lmao. Honestly a good start, it has a lot of potential especially Akira's ability, which for me is really unique. That Mr. X ripoff though lmao, dude treats life as a game, well it works for him I can respect that. I like that Akira has to really think, in fact he is required to think to use his ability to setup scenarios for his opponents that will allow him to get a good ability. Not a bad start at all. |

James_FK said: Yeah, same here! At first Mion's voice annoyed me a bit but then it was fine and I got used to it! I'm worried it's going to go downhill too, but so far it's pretty entertaiiining! :DDanganronpa and Mirai Nikki vibes. I like if. Don’t know why Mion is getting hate. Her voice is amazing. Solid 8/10 so far. I am a bit worried that it will go downhill but hope not |
 |
| Turning hands into blasters. Turning wooden sticks into swords. The superpowers introduced so far are a bit boring to me except Akira's. The first episode was fine. Can't wait to see Akira abuse his overpowered power. |
| That's a pretty nice ability that the MC got, I'm sure we'll see some limitations or drawbacks at some point but he can literally give himself whatever power he wants. He also seems to be a quick thinker so I'm sure he can come up with some creative and OP ways to use his ability. It was an ok start, I'm looking forward to seeing the abilities of some of the other characters as we go forward. That purple-haired cat girl has such an annoying voice though.... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Love this. I'm a sucker for smart mcs so this will be enjoyable. |
  |
| I wonder what will happen when he fights against 2 person, would he have 2 ability for both of them, or each one will have 1 ability. The ultimate power behind his ability is if he tells the opponent his power is" an ability that make me have the ability to be able to do everything if only another person knows about my ability" and convince his opponent, this make him be able to wish for an ability to constantly be omnipotent without his opponent's thinking. Which causes him to be a full omnipotent. And easily escape this program. And also wish for him to be in another program, a smarter and better program, and a program that he won't be bored. In short it's a super overpowered ability, if he actually is smart, he would do that, of course with a trusted partner aka opponent |

| What I liked is that in the beginning the MC mentions school is just useless memorization which one of the big issues with state schools: memorisation indoctrination. One of the reasons for this is because females are much better to memorisation than practical application of principles. So they switched to this as part of the feminist movement. Stuff like homework projects , tests that just verify you memorized things. BTW does anyone know anything about the 00 episode? penrhos said: As the cat-girl shot him whit the arm cannon - is he dead or was it an illusion, she said their existence had been erased so are they in some kind of purgatory? What's the prize for being the last person standing? Seems odd that you can win without killing the opponent - so what penalty does the defeated one get (or does the cat-girl kill them anyway)? This is so like Darwin's game I'll give it a few episodes to hook me otherwise it's a drop. Sonny Boy's premise seems far more interesting... 3/5 I think you miss the point. All the powers are in test phase. The people that win most fights will be offered a job with the military. If they do not accept they will be treated as the losers. That being said their powers will be deemed as fit to be used by the army and will be used by multiple soldiers afterwards. I think is possible she almost killed him and then regenerated his body, but I have no idea what the cat girl did. |

| I really hope the characters will be interact much much more. The preview said blonde girl is the heroine, so I hope we'll get some normal interactions and maybe even collaboration battles. That's my only worry for now. I don't think I'll be able to watch only one-off battles with limited character interaction. At the very least the main characters ability is non-conventional, so it could get very interesting. |
| 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 |
| A trashy death game anime which isn't too trashy to be off putting but has good enough production values to let its hook fall flat. Yeah this will be really entertaining. |
| The episode was nice and as far as a concept for a battle/death game anime, it's a decent one. The one caveat being that it's not apparent what the participants get out of competing in this supposed game. Survival doesn't even seem to be a benefit as it seems more likely all the players may just end up dying in the end or something. This means that I'll probably have low investment into whatever happens in this anime if I do end up sticking with it for the whole thing. I hope I'm wrong though. |

| I don't like smartass MCs, he's treating everything like a game and wasn't even afraid for a second when the monster guy attacked him, didn't even hesitate while killing him. It's just another boring power fantasy. |
  |
| Damn, the mc really the typical generic protag one with all of his narration. But the va actually took me by surprise. Holy shit, is he seriously the one behind him? The power of the actually fine, with all of the makes sense explanations, at least for now. However, as this is only one episode, i can't judge it too deep. So, i just mark this one as a fine and try not to jumbling it into another battle-royale show. In the end, at this point i just wanna see how the glasses girl winning her battle. And those blonde girl too. Ah, that lady in pink also interested me. Hopefully there's a more exploration over the side characters, instead of those typical mc. So, yeah, thats all from me. |

| Finally a good new battle royale anime. I´ve been waiting for so long. Also really like the old stylish art. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| First episode felt like generic as it could be. |
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |
| It's actually quite fun than I expected. I like how each players have different abilities. It felt rushed tho. The mc got out and then suddenly reality turned into a game just like that. A little bit more detail about the MC's life would've been better but I guess they know going in detail would ruin the show since it's already quite generic, so it's a good thing they skipped it. But Oh damn that Mion's voice is so annoying...her voice is still ringing in my ears.  I'm not a clean freak but how does one's house get so dirty...isn't it annoying to dodge everytime while you're walking at your own house...my room's dirty too but there are times when I can't take it anymore and then I clean my room. The animation is ok. It's kinda 2011/2012-ish animation. The Ost and OP/ED are ok too. I'll continue it till the end. I'm curious about the other players' abilities. It'll be painful to bare with Mion's voice but I'll try to endure. |

| Yes to edgy death game in this rather dull season, even tho I would love to see a genuine darker approach akin to Gantz or Battle Royale and not this vanilla stuff that's pandering to gamers. Well, you take what you can get. It's nonetheless an entertaining start. Kirisaki already my man and he's voiced by the one and only Nakai Kazuya. We got some baddies too, in particular that redhead onee-san in sleepwear. That's enough for me xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They must have tried to make that cat character as annoying as humanly possible. I'll at least check out the next episode, but not sure how much more of that I can handle. |
| Survival of the fittest and seems decent. Will have to watch more and see how it goes. I couldnt agree more, the cat character voice does get annoying or somewhat puts me off |
 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| I like the cat lady |
 |
| It was okay, though I don't expect much cause all survival games are generally just "meh". However, I can't stand the voice of the purple-haired girl. I couldn't concentrate on what she says, I was too busy wishing she could shut the fuck up. |
| Not much to say about this ep except it's Darwin's Game 2.0 and has even worse art and animation... somehow. Oh, and I'm not keen on the voice choice for Mion. Definitely not gonna be a good watch, and I can't see many things being explained. |
 |
| That one girl must've been kidnapped while she was trying on lingerie at Victoria's Secret. |
| I just can't with Mion's voice..... I had to turn down the volume whenever she was talking.. |
Korhaline said: I just can't with Mion's voice..... I had to turn down the volume whenever she was talking.. Exactly my thoughts! Sound off will be needed. If ever there was an anime that needed dubbed ... this is the one. Other than that, I have no strong impressions about this series. It could go okay or down the storm drain. Soon to find out ... lol. |
