| Muy decente. Espero que siga con este método muy efectivo de suspenso. No tengo que más comentar. |
| A decent start, pretty much only interested in the maincharacter. The rest are incredibly plain and not even close to decent. Well, I do like the game concepts. The ED is pretty dope too. |

VastoLords said: Swagsonian said: Not a fan of this so far. Pretty poor directing and pacing. I like the premise of trying to get friends to doubt each other but it's hard to feel any tension without any prior time spent with the characters, especially showing their dynamics as friends. Maybe it would have been better if the first episode showed some instances of them interacting before leading into the introduction of the game at the end of the episode. It could get better, but for now I'm unimpressed -Raynor- said: I really hope for a second season announcement. Otherwise it doesn't even need to be seen. So rush adaptation. It is horrible. Its 1:1 Manga adaptation i checked, its just how it is in Manga, first they drop you into chaos and then you will get slowly explained, you guys better give it 5-6 eps and see it for yourself, it will change drastic from cliche start. Yes, but I mean they can't fit all published chapters into 12 episodes, it is simply impossible. |

| I haven't watched psychological anime in a long time. So, when I watched it it felt really good. I guess I liked the story too. For now I'll give it a score of 8/10. |
 |
| Really enjoyed the original manga but it feels like the adaptation is kinda bland. Hope it doesn't become too bad. |
Pumpk1nish said: I was so hyped when i saw the one of my favorite manga would get a anime adaptation but after the trailer and the first episode im just dissapointed. They changed how the characters looked and idk, it just doesn't feel right. I just hope they dont dissapoint me more. They will probaly do it so i guess i will keep low expectations on the rest of the series. anyone feeling the same way? And in true MAL style let the manga vs animation shitfight begin. |
| damn that was a lot more interesting than i thought |
| at first I thought "uh reminds me so much of As the Gods Will" (the games, the doll, the classmates, the story starts in a classroom) but when I finished the ep, I think it's going to be pretty good |
 |
| this seasons edgy death game anime is as mediocre as ever |
| Cringe. Manipulative anime about how to abuse friendship for your own gain. Games are useless and boring. |
| That was kinda bad. It looks low budget and the direction was completely flat. I hope the writing was cliché on purpose because I can’t take 12 episodes of that. |
| I like how it started, I'm reeled in with the very first episode itself. and love that he decided to talk so it's a if we go down were going down together sorta situation |
| Honestly, it's really fast paced.. like there's nothing to tell and immediately rush to the game. Even on the background of each person, it was only written and very fast, I personally need to pause to read one by one. While explaining the rules too.. the staff didn't let me and my slow brain to process :"D At first I thought Shibe was the one who deliberately answered "no" because he knew that if the answer to such an easy question is wrong it will provoke Shiho and she will speak (judging by Shiho's personality) then her debt will increase so that she will lose and be the one to bear all the debt in the end.. but looking at the question paper, it turned out that they are all traitors to each other. The questioners deliberately gave easy questions so that the others will answer "yes" and only the questioners themselves answer "no" so the questioner's answer will be chosen and the questioner's debt will be decreased. By the way, how did Yuichi realize that the fifth question would be different from the previous questions? |

| All hopes for the second season. Otherwise it is pointless to watch. Instead better the read manga. |
|
| That was entertaining, but I also noticed the issue with the pacing. Solid start btw. |

| Seems interesting, but I feel like the back story is some bullshit. First of all, anyone would realize or at least think that such a "loan" would be legally unenforceable. You have a bunch of kids watching the monitors after kidnapping multiple groups of people. I'm assuming it's going to develop some paramilitary shit, like they're looking for the ideal candidate for some bs like Higurashi or something. After all they must have access to mind reading devices and such, so I'm assuming there will be a twist explaining that they're hooked up to chips in their brains in an experiment or something to justify that. And also, I don't care how close any of my friends are with me, I wouldn't play a game with tens of thousands of dollars on the line, especially if they wouldn't even be forthcoming about why they owe that amount. What kind of friend is that? It's likely that multiple people owe that amount, or it's possible that none of them owe that amount, and they're just naively being strung into a game. I guess all the friends must be very confident that all of them are rational, calculating agents, since they seem to understand each other's motives perfectly even without communicating. It takes some teamwork to push all the debt to that last girl. But I feel like this just comes with the territory in many Japanese media. Even in classics like Battle Royale, we have to ignore the absurdity of the set up to enjoy the main plot. |

| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| talk about cheesy BTW does the mascot remind anyone else of the kid from The Middle?  |
| The first episode isn't bad but the animation or quality or something feels a bit off. I hope the pacing isn't too fast since this manga is fucking epic so if adapted right this anime will certainly be a banger. Since they showed Yuuichi in a military outfit in the beginning, I'm guessing they'll get to the zombie arc. But that means they're planning on adapting 60+ chapters in only 12 episodes? This might be fine for more action-filled shows but Tomodachi Game has a lot of dialogues so idk if this is a good idea. I really hope they don't mess this up since this manga is one of my favorites. |

Even in classics like Battle Royale, we have to ignore the absurdity of the set up to enjoy the main plot. The backstory isn't bs because they haven't shown you the 'real' backstory yet. It's not just kids kidnapping other kids and watching through a monitor. It's something much bigger than that, which you'll see as the story progresses. There's no mindreading or chips bs involved. They aren't looking for a candidate either. They don't understand each others' motives perfectly. While watching this show, you need to keep this in mind: "What you're seeing isn't everything. And don't trust the protagonist." Don't trust anything Yuuichi does, says, or even his inner thoughts. This is a mystery show so you need to suspect everything, even the mc. Even if the anime straightout tells you something, don't believe it. Observe the situation, find the clues, and come to your own conclusion. Don't get led by the nose. |
