| Tbh I was just happy Miyoshi was alive Also I loved how Yuuki said to Odagiri the same thing that he said to Sakuma in the first ep |
 |
| episode 1 was promising but the fact that it was episodic and pretty bad at given a proper introduction to each setting kinda annoyed me and bored me at some point.. 7/10 |
 |
| Well that seemed quite intersting.. though it did not had the feel of the last episode though |
 |
| Didn't feel like a last episode but still, fun series. The trick for me to enjoy this was to imagine myself in place of the spies, got an awesome experience out of it. 7.75/10, rounded off to 8/10 |

| OH ho ho.... so the German dude's lover was also a spy eh? No wonder she reallocated to Manchuria. And no wonder he ripped up his resignation letter to go tail her. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I came here for the beautifully condescending smirks that I saw on the cover. I was not disappointed. |
The sun is a deadly laser |
| I liked this series a lot.... I couldn't care less about a complete story..... Each episode was epic and involved a untangling a complex set of threads of backstabbing and conspiracy that too in layers!!! The animation quality was also quite decent. The anime is quite enjoyable for a mystery freak.... I enjoyed each and every episode....there is not much anime of this genre available and it's not for some idiots who only search for a complete story for the entire series.... Hope for a 2nd season :D 9/10 |
 |
| It had its moments when it was good but other times it was just average. It was a nice anime but the final episode did not feel like it. Just seemed like another episode. |
| I was expecting more but each episode had something new and I really enjoyed the moments when Yuki would beat the opposing agency and the German general guy. This episode was good, we got to see the spies all in one episode once again. |
| What a final episode tbh, easily one of the best ones during this series. Sad to see it end, I found it rather enjoyable for the most part, despite the odd pacing, so a 7/10. |

Sirev_Giio said: Miyoshi being alive though. That either means he faked his death, or this is not told in chronological order. The entire series was told in anachronic order. The show's website has a timeline to help us: 1939 - Episodes 1 and 2; 12; 6; 5; 1940 - Episodes 7; 10; 3; 8 and 9; 11 1941 - Episode 4 |
| A nice series that had a lovely dark atmosphere most of the time. Mostly interesting episodes and likable characters. The art was done well without a CGI overload that seems to prevail in a lot of current anime. 8/10 |
 |
| Damn, Joker Game doesn't give me time to heal my wounds from the last episode. Well, now that is over, all I can say is that the first 2 episodes of this show were a blast. Episode 3 was very interesting in it's own way, but that's when I realized that this is, unfortunately, an episodic anime. If there were more episodes, this could definitely be amazing, I mean Joker Game has a lot of potential (story setting, interesting characters, beautiful art and soundtracks...). It would have been fine even if Sakuma was the main character the whole time and that the story is (mostly) about him trying to fit in the D-Agency. It's a shame it ended up like this, but what can we do. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| A bunch of pretty boy spies sitting around a table in a dark room, smoking with smirks on their faces. LOL. Love it. Wish it was more linear though. The episodic nature didn't do much for it. And couldn't we have at least ended with the Yuuki episodes instead? Or Miyoshi's death? This episode was not really that suitable for a finale. |
| That was rather uneventful for a final episode but I guess I was expecting too much to begin with especially when they started having some sort of plot near the end. The episode itself was pretty nice. Wish they made it clear when the events in the episode happened since Miyoshi was apparently alive in this ep. As for the series itself, it wasn't bad; I quite liked it a lot for that matter. I just really wished it wasn't episodic because this definitely had potential to be really good for sure. The mysteries were pretty cool and I love the intelligent shit going on even if I was lost a few times. I especially loved the theme since it's not often you'd see stuff take place in the early 1900's. 7.5/10 |
| Even when they are all in the same room together, I cant tell who is who. Disappointed with this, great IG production but lousy story. |
| Overall, this wasn't as bad as MAL score suggest. It surely has too many flaws, but I never got cancer for watching this (except in EP 4). 5/10. Could be better, but I liked it in the end. |
 You just lost the game |
| The episode didn't felt at all like a final episode, but it really fits the tone of the series, so I'm perfectly fine with it. Really liked how they emphasized Odagiri's character and how he is told apart of the other members of the D-Agency. He is the only one whose past is revealed, the only one whose true name is revealed and the only one who resigns of his position at the end, in contrast with the other spies, of which we don't know either past, background, name or feelings. Loved that detail. Overall, I liked this. I expected something more at the beginning, but the episodic nature of the series didn't bothered me at all and made the thing really like an spy movie. The atmosphere was fitting and the character of Yuuki was awesome. 7/10. Btw, for those who ask why Miyoshi is still alive in this, this happened before the previous episode. |

| Joker Game was the show I was most looking forward to this season, so I guess I was disappointed to some degree, especially with how "episodic" it was... At least with how they concluded the show. Though I assume there could easily be another season, or maybe some of the OVAs will showcase Odagiri's new mission as a Lieutenant. Thankfully the show was pretty entertaining as a whole, but the characters were not memorable at all to me, aside from Yuuki, and ending the first season on an episode that happened prior to the events of episode 11 feels quite unsatisfying. Well, I'm definitely looking forward to the upcoming specials and hopefully a future season... Though I think if they keep running with this "format" in a future season, the show will probably run stale for me. |
| We still have two more DVD/BD-eps to go. And i really don't care that some people find the series boring or were enraged because of lack of the main plot. It was a good spy series with every ep being different and with good attention to details. |
 |
| I cannot help but feel that this episode should have been switched with episode 11. Miyoshi's death had such an impact, not to mention Yuuki's past, that it would have been a great way of finishing the series with a bang. I had nothing against this episode, though, and quite enjoying having some background on a D-Agency spy but it was hardly half as interesting as 11. And yes, this could do with a second season. Then again, Yuuki did say that once a war breaks spies become useless so there might not be a lot more for the D-Agency boys to do, given the timeline. |

| Omg second season please 😭😭 |

Hope for a 2nd season :D 9/10 Lol couldn't agree more. Well, Odagiri's seiyuu already give his impression (or "warning") about this work that "I read some of the original work for the audition, and I found it to have a very profound atmosphere, so it didn’t give me an impression that this was a going to become a full-scale anime". source: http://sekinosemimaru.tumblr.com/post/145356906363/joker-game-cast-comment-hosoya-yoshimasa wish for 2nd season too |
| Could've been much better if we had more episodes and an actual plot. |
| Good anime. With a ecchis and shonens infestation, I miss more seinens such this. |
| Pretty anti-climactic final episode, but then again, almost all the episodes have been anti-climactic. The premise and setting were really interesting, but I think having such disconnected episodes really made this anime fall flat. Probably a 5 or 6/10 from me. |
 |
| I liked it but I don't know why, I had hard time to recognize all characters. Kept mixing them :/ |

| Tough time for Yuuki, one of his men quit and Miyoshi died after this :'( I think Yuuki purposely put his spy in that situation as a test to see if he truly was free from any connection and he wasn't, but he still managed to find what went wrong so Yuuki still offered him to stay, but he declined. 8/10  |
 |
| Great last episode, though this anime a bit dissapointed that this is an episodic. Nonetheless, decent show with decent characters. Hoping if there's gonna be a sequel, make it with a main plot. |
 |
| Meh. I really can't forgive this show for the unrealistic aspects in it even though it's generally fairly grounded and there isn't much to complain about in that regard. Not because I'm super nitpicky or anything like that But because even with the liberties they take, which are standard and to be expected of any work of fiction, they were not able to craft a story that was more interesting and exciting than what actual spies were doing during the war. What a waste. The lack of any sort of overarching narrative also does not do it any favors considering the time period it's set in. The kind of stories they're trying to tell would really benefit from having buildup... is what I'd like to say, except that they never really made too much use of what little buildup they did have. It just blows my mind how they made a spy thriller so bland. |
| I suppose the ending wasn’t bad. I was hoping for more for the series as a whole though. Anyhow, a slightly above-average series that didn’t leave any kind of impression on me. I came to this series enthusiastic, but by the end of it, I was indifferent to anything the series brought/offered. 6/10 |

zero-r said: didn’t leave any kind of impression on me. I came to this series enthusiastic, but by the end of it, I was indifferent to anything the series brought/offered. Exact same sentiment here, which somehow feels worse than when I actually dislike something. Not sure if this is even worthy of an average rating. |
| Bit of an open-ended conclusion but seems like they went for the full circle ending. It ended with the first thing Yuuki taught in episode 1. I agree that episode 11 should be been the ending. Miyoshi's death had impact and evoked more feelings fitting for a conclusion. Anyway, I enjoyed this series. Wouldn't mind a second season if there is one. Was thinking to give it an 8/10 after episode 11 but I reckon 7/10 is more accurate now. |
 |
| god dammit i hate stupid superiors and they communicate using flowers that's cool and he wanted to be a triple agent? damn man your grred was your downfall and this didn't really feel like a finale to me it should have been longer |

| What??????????????? |

Though it killed my hopes of Miyoshi still being alive T.T And I thought it was very sweet of Yuuki's last present for Odagiri...a chance to get together with the girl in Manchuria XD Oh romantic badass Yuuki |
| To be honest....this series felt way too short (12ep!?)...but sure, I can't lie to myself - I enjoyed this series - 7/10.... ova would be great, if not...2nd season please :) |
 |
| A pretty good episode I would say, although it doesn't have the 'final episode' feel to it at all. Yuuki's smirk at the end with the words "Who bows while wearing a business suit?" was pretty cool. ^_^ Overall, the whole show kinda suffered from the whole episodic feel and it was annoyingly difficult to tell what spy it was focusing on each week. Still, the production and animation put into the show remains it's strongest point, as expected of Production I.G, along with the splendid soundtrack. 7/10 is my final score. |
| I loved it. Of course it wasn't perfect, it had its flaws and I rather it be episodic and continuous with a solid, flowing plot rather than focusing on different missions but I enjoyed every single episode. This has to be my favorite Anime series for Spring 2016. I hope they come out with another Joker Game series but that's just wishful thinking on my part. It was nice to see Miyoshi again but nope, still deader than a fucking doornail. My score is 8/10. I believe this is one of the most underrated series for this season. |
| 臭い- |
| I really feel like this show would've been a lot better if we got to know the characters a bit better at the start because from start till end I only know Yuuki... |
