| tbh i don't like how they did so much major changes, not just on the dialogue but also the plot. like for example instead of his brown haired friend inviting him to the game and dying in the beginning (as in the manga) it's another one of his friend, and his brown haired friend existed throughout the episode with him. and because his friend is alive, the mc took different actions, like not trusting his friend's words and calling the ambulance only to find out it doesn't work. that just makes him look stupid while the mc in the series is supposed to be extremely smart (kinda like a downgraded Shikamaru). |
| Just finshed Fate/Stay night and decided to give this a try, only to find Shirou, the walmart version?? Trace, ON Jk, this was fun to watch is the only thing i can say for now |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
| Lmao and this is how this new decade starts. xD at least it was slightly more watchable than Mirai Nikki |
| i mean this is kinda fun bad it sure doesn't look good, but it's been a hot minute since we had some edgy trashy death games anime. Don't hate the MC he pretty quickly got smarter by the time he was fighting the "queen" it wasn't even that trashy till the last scene so that's a bummer show doesn't need any lewd-ness but whatever having just re watched some old no more heroes 2 boss fights,it reminded me of what these kinda ranking death games need is good characters |
 |
| Those faces... oh my god, the only one who was on model some of the time was the girl. I laughed my ass off when the MC got chased by the panda, screaming for help, and the two onlookers thought it was a joke or a promotional stunt. Hopefully this leans more towards Future Diary than King’s Game. |
 |
| >the killer is standing there alive with a knife >drr let me call you an ambulance This is truly Darwin's Game. |
| I liked it. Last scene did a lot for me since Im fond of waifu material. Hope nothing bad happens to Shuka. |
 |
| The first episode is well made. this show gonna be a banger this season. The characters are good and looks like we got a yandere waifu. the main protagonist is surrounded by a big plot armor. sound mixing was awesome and the background music increased the intensity of the episode to another level. the last scene was wholesome. looking forward for the new episodes |
 |
| Wow another pacifist MC that doesn’t want anyone to die in a death match. Can’t wait for him to use his op ability to acquire a harem!!!!!! |
| Promising first episode. Reminded really a little bit of Ousama Game. Though here it was better. I acutally liked that the stuff happening obviously is some kind of magic (until someone tries to explain it with scientific terms) ... where Ousama Game had the (which only appeared later) silly explanations. Mirai Nikki got named here was well: i think having a girl with the main is the thing that reminds of Mirak Nikki. I personally thought of SAO of the first season first half/arc. Cause the skills feel a bit like game. And they can die (which here is even the goal). I'm pretty sure that I'll watch this until the end. 11 episodes doesn't seem that much. Maybe I even check out the manga. According to my research there will be a lot more interesting chars - which always is a good thing. Only the male/female pair fighting vs. episodic enemies would be boring. |
| It was actually quite okay until the last scene at the end.. like what the hell was that?? |
Chisaki_21 said: If shuka alive after losing game by surrendering , why banda didn't surrender then? You just need to lose some points instead losing your life. Because his points dropped to 0. The anime omitted a lot of info that was present in the manga and really dumbed down Kaname during the first fight. |
| Not usually a fan of shows of this ilk, looks more straightforward and entertaining compared to its peers but maybe a tad less stylish. Also silly and childish to an extent(naturally, considering the genre) but still decently fun I guess? Love you Shama |
| The opening battle while a tense one sure showed well the nature of this game. Damm Banda sure struck quick though. The combo of a sports mascots and that knife though sure served to enhance his chilling effect. So while the game takes place in the real world the players can more or less do what they want without penalty huh. Hmm so the winner is the one that survives while the loser vanishes huh. Looks like the game is also serving as a place for rival factions to take territory via literal slaughter of their opponents as well. Shuka though proved to be quite the character though enigmatic, helpful but also deadly. The battle between Shuka and Kaname while deadly proved to be an interesting tutorial of sorts for him while at the same time showing his desire to do things his way. Though the victory was a close one looks like his determination managed to win over Shuka. Overall an excellent opening ep that while equally tense and action packed also did well to introduce the setting, game and cast. Looks like the game also created one major change for Kaname as well too lol. Looking forward to the next ep. |

| Judging by the ending song, is this show a harem show? |
| I watched it because it's one of the only shows out and I was bored. Wow, this show is terrible. |
| Damn well that episode definitely intrigued me, I hate that the MC is a total dumbass tho except when it comes to strategy, coincidentally enough |
 |
| An Edgy show is EDGY no matter what you say! Period! 3/5. |
 |
| not sure if imma continue this past 3 episodes: female characters irritated me, first fanservice scene only first ep in, and not the world's best animation nor voice acting |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Oh my god, this was incredible! I started the manga a little while ago and i loooove death game anime/manga but i'm gonna be honest; i wasn't expecting a lot. I was expecting King's Game quality but this was so much better than i thought it was gonna be! The animation quality was actually good, the characters aren't one dimensional and cliche like they are in a lot of death game stuff and i thought the soundtrack was amazing in building the mood. It's totally gory and messed up and i LOVE IT! hehe |
 |
| The anime was just fine, until SPOILER in the last 3 min fanservice destroyed all the seriousness it had, with the super strong girl becomen the new nº1 waifu, appearing completly naked and asking for make a family. Come on omg, why the hell was that neccesary? Another anime wasted. Please, add Ecchi in the Genres description!!!! |

| This was so trashy but really entertaining. Really hope that chick was fucking with him at the end. That's just gross. |
| Dumbass mc with shounen level plotarmour. Also is quickly to lay his fist step for the mandatory sexist harem subplot. was still ok tho 5/10 for me. gonna keep watching. Not expecting anything original at this point. |
 |
| Man, first episode threads are always full of noobs and pretentious anime watchers, who consider themselves as higly critical. Episode was alright, nothing too good and nothing too bad, animation was fine, it wasn't bad and it wasn't Vinland Saga level as some noobs expect from every show. |
 |
| well, that's one way to end the first episode pretty OK ED, too |
 |
| Bedroom scene was (nearly) identical to the one in Arifureta. Also, I'm getting some strong Mirai Nikki vibes. I promised I wouldn't torture myself with any more bad anime....... .....god damnit. |
| For some reason i get the King's Game vibe from this anime. Please don't be King's Game. |
| Wasn't expecting something special when I read the synopsis but man, this looks kinda shitty, not gonna lie xD Seriously, this series made me remind of the time when I watched Mahou Shoujo Site and Dorei-ku The Animation. Without a doubt, an experience I don't want to go through again so I really REALLY hope the story here can be at least entertaining. P.S.: Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought that Kaname's Sigil is basically low quality "Trace On". |
| It was okay. I'm looking forward to watching the next episode. |

NayRAW said: OUSAMA GAME 2020 VERSION Not even close. NayRAW said: idk i dont really interesting with the story but i like the plot, its just they have bad introduction like hell its start with his 2 friends died in episode 1, his friend never tell him about the game make it lost impact to the story, Blame that on the bad adaptation of the first fight. Originally there shouldn't have been a friend fighting with him but Kaname should have been alone for his first fight, thus giving a clear reason why he doesn't know anything about the game. With that friend next to him giving him only limited information, it really feels a bit weird and doesn't make as much sense as in the manga. No idea why the anime thought it was necessary to add this character.... :/ Yeah, don't know why the anime didn't make this clear. In the manga the difference was clearly shown. When Banda lost his fight, he lost points, just the same way as Shuka did, the difference was that Banda didn't have as much points and hit 0 after that fight, which means Game Over. Shuka has so many points that simply losing a match doesn't phaze her at all. Luckily not at all, i hate Yuno but i love Shuka. XD |
| I've read the manga and Jesus Christ, Kaname is more fucking ugly in the Anime than the manga. He was just a plain-looking, generic Anime/manga guy but damn, this Anime did him dirty. Also they rushed through this. The animation was pretty laughable, not gonna lie. I had higher expectations. Please read the manga instead. The art in the manga is way better than this. In the manga, the cop who got his throat sliced didn't die immediately, he was one of the few people who took Kaname seriously. He even called another police officer on the phone to confirm the mascot, Banda-kun's appearance. He showed concern unlike all the other people that Kaname passed by. I'm upset they didn't show him doing that and just killed him off like that. Also they didn't show the reason why the panda was killing, there was a reason for it. I can see why lots of people hate Shuka. Tbh, she's not my favorite either. She was another generic female Anime/manga character who fell in love with the MC after being defeated, how many times have we seen that in an Anime/manga series? She's not even best girl. Best girl was obviously that gorgeous girl at the end on her computer. |
