| Seriously this would have been so much better as a hentai. Missed opportunity. |
| Wow, what a lame-ish ending to an abysmal series really! So many unanswered questions, empty emotions and unreasonable plot holes all over the place, really took the spotlight for this show in my opinion. I don’t say this often, but this was seriously straight-up bad! To be honest, I didn’t find the ending all too bad. All the class fellows have to pass away for the Ousama Game to truly end, and so Riona commits suicide to fulfill it. Great, I’d take that. However, the manner in which it was executed was just terrible. First of all, what’s up with that order from the King? Make a doll, really? To make things worse, we see the little man himself take on the challenge to become ‘as manly as Nobuaki and Teruaki’. Right, of course. Moving on, how exactly did Aya wake up at such a convenient time and what exactly was going through her head? Don’t tell me it’s another love story at the heat of the moment because it certainly looked like it to me. Clearly, Natsuko was holding a chainsaw on her hand and the best idea that comes to your mind is to choke her. I simply cannot comprehend that level of idiocy. Well, guess that’s that. If I’m not mistaken, Nobuaki was smacked at the back of his head with a rock, so how exactly did he get up at the most convenient of times? Not just this but he was literally being strangled like a doll by Natsuko next, and then Natsuko was driven right through the back by a chainsaw. It doesn’t take a farmer or a woodcutter to know that a chainsaw can literally break one’s bones in a matter of seconds and yet she managed to grab hold of a chainsaw in a moment’s notice and actually jump to slit Nobuaki’s throat. Right, mysterious as always. Now, flashbacks kick in out of nowhere and we see that a completely different person whom Natsuko was in love with previously having the slightest bit of resemblance to Nobuaki and so that’s how we know why Natsuko was so in fond of Nobuaki in the first place. Sweet, I’ve got nothing to say about this. Just speechless. Last but not least, we see Riona dragging Nobuaki’s body to the ocean and there’s a moment’s glimpse where they show Nobuaki’s neck. I’m not sure just how exactly sharp that chainsaw was, but from my perspective, that looked like a tad bit serious cat scratch. Lol, Aya was literally cut in half previously making this all the more mysterious. Wow, what can I possibly say now. Moreover, we never really got an explanation or anything even least bit hinted about Chiemi and Natsuko other than that they were perhaps separated when they were kids. What’s that about? What’s this about a virus though? If it’s just a normal bug in the Internet, how does it possibly kill oneself and give orders exactly? There’s just so many things more that I can vividly recall from previous episodes, but I’d like to not get into that. There’s just way too many, after all. Well, that’s about the whole show in a nutshell actually. In each and every episode, we saw flying limbs from the most absurd and unprocessable scenarios and an outburst of emotions which really had minimal to no effect on the viewers. In general, the Art/Animation of this show was fine nonetheless. Sound Department of this show only was actually something that was genuinely good about this show, and I must say it was definitely great. Even the osts during the most ‘tensed’ moments were well-timed and good. Voice acting, on the other hand, was a little poor. However, what was inevitably the worst Department in this show goes hands down to the Characters. My God, just how clueless and brainless can these people be? It was as though Natsuko was the only one with a proper brain and a thought process. Literally, all the Characters managed in accomplishing was to stir up some needless emotions and then get used and toyed around by Natsuko all the time while complaining and talking trash about her. Don’t just talk, do something for heaven’s sake. Man, in this retrospect, only Kenta was actually a notch ahead of everyone and that was nice to see. Even the main character of the show just remained the same senseless puppet throughout the series. All in all, this show was pretty bad but it did have it’s few plus points. Not something I would recommend to anyone under my sane consciousness though. - Storyline/Plot Developments: 4/10 - Characterization/Character Developments: 2/10 - Art/Animation: 6/10 - Sound Department: 8.5/10 - Personal Enjoyment: 3/10 -> Overall: 4/10. Looks like a Second Season is in the making, so I’m not quite sure if I’ll watch that or not. Under this state of mind as of now, I’d like to pass at all cost though. |

| Best ending i've ever seen |
maliaediuxi12 said: Can someone just tell me how it ended? I’m curious but I can’t watch this anymore, it was just too cringy Everyone died, King's game cant be stopped, till all the humanity dies out. Really loved the fact nobody achieved anything and Nobuaki's effort to stop the game was all for nothing, we need more anime with the same message and conclusion sometimes no matter how much you try no matter how much hope you have, you still cant make difference, and all you did was for nothing. I CANT GET ENOUGH, want more of that feeling! |
| Usually I don't put low votes. My lowest vote is 7 for School Days. My scale of votes is different from everyone, already have created an anime with dubbing, mediocre drawings, music, etc..... For this effort, they already deserve a good vote. But with this I will make an exception. 6/10 It would have been 7/10 if the final had a sense. "If everyone will die, the game will end". They died, but the game continues? WHATTTT??? Have I lost something, or does it not make sense? |
| Is it kind of sad that the best writing this show even attempted was in the final episode? The message showed that the game would never end and everyone would die...so really...does that truly mean that Natsuko was right all along? Just get the terror in the killing over with asap, or is it better to follow Nobuaki's way and cling on to hope even if it's pointless? That's also not taking into account going to heaven, which is confirmed to be actually real in this show. And if that's the case, it might even bolster Natsuko's side even more, since the sooner you die the sooner you go to heaven. And ffs, even Natusko made it in, and that's saying something. Speaking of, Natusko came in their with the double double fakeout there. Made us think she loved him in episode one, then came in with the fakeout saying she was going to use him for info and she wants to kill him. Then came in with ANOTHER fakeout revealing she actually loved him all along and only wanted to kill him so no one else would in the game, like some true to form yandere love. Not sure if that's enough redemption for her murdering 3 people fifteen minutes prior. And Riona killed herself at the end, I guess that's whatever since she loved Nobuaki and all. Hey at least she'll be in heaven with everybody. Hmmm...gotta wonder, if she died right afterwards, did they all go whoops, and turn around and grab her real quick? lol Also have to wonder, if heaven is truly the magical land of happiness where everyone finds everlasting joy and peace...will Nobuaki end up in a harem with Chiemi, her own sister Natsuko, and Riona (AND maybe Ria)? I mean, it's heaven after all. There are no rules, plus everyone will be happy with no malice. Shit, I mean the dude's probably fucking earned it right? Honestly I'm not even ashamed to admit that Riona's ludicrously massive tits were my only salvation through this show. First it was Natsuko, but then she went psycho, then it was Ria, then she became a phoenix, and then that last home stretch was Riona's giant goliath fucking mammaries. I will give the show props adaptation wise though. In one of the other threads for this show, someone started one that gave an in-depth breakdown of what happens in all of the king's games. Idk if there are mangas and novels for all of them, but the OP broke down what happens in Nobuaki's first one, Natsuko's first one, the anime one, and the Japan one which was ongoing. There were details about the first one in the village too. And despite the show being utter trash, I can say it adapted that trash pretty well since it matched the details in that thread almost perfectly and the OP made that thread when the show was only like halfway through. MyKamiList said: AsT5 said: that's half the info according to the current manga all the Japanese and taiwanese school students will be killed then the virus will go on towards the working adults thanks to internet so humanity might end up soon So the internet is the main carrier of the virus, which means it's all the same whether there is a survivor or not, and that debunks the whole point of the "dying message", unless I am missing something that is. Damn, this is one of those rare shows that the more I think, the more I ironically enjoy it. Yea that whole dying message to end the game was basically a giant troll from the virus. Nothing can stop it, clearly as shown by the end where it hits the metropolitan area. I believe there is a manga for that as well where the virus puts all of Japan in the game or something. |
| It's weird, a lot of Americans will vote uninformed for things they don't believe in, is that the same as giving viewership to something they utterly despise, all the way to the end? Who exactly started this zero out of ten hater train anyways? Jonesy974 said: I will give the show props adaptation wise though.

To respond to your own point, I don't think there's anything wrong with watching something till the end but still hating it. Hell, I'm in that boat. As for myself I have a no drop policy on any show I watch. That in itself helps me choose what shows I'll watch beforehand, if it seems like I'd drop it I just won't watch it. That being said that isn't the perfect, one size fits all solution to deciding on seasonal shows, so occasionally a bad one slips through, or a hidden gem gets missed. I also think it's appropriate to see things through to the end. You never know how good or bad a show truly is until it's over. Sure 9/10 times a show that starts bad will stay bad, but on rare occasions a series can experience a significant turnaround. And vice versa, a good show can turn horrible. I personally also don't like to say a show is shit without seeing it myself so I can critique in my own words why it is. But anyway, the thread you asked me about should be this one: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1671970 |

| Here’s the real question. From all the 3 girls in Heaven, who is he gonna pick? Would be great if second season is hentai with his harem. |
 |
| just 4 over 10, and i hope never realized a second season!!! |
| Just gonna say one thing: How can the virus ever hope to eradicate humanity? One person infects their class (30 or so people) which would actually give it a good chance. However, then 29 of those die before they can infect others. The speed of its spread is hence constant and very likely lower than the birthrate in Japan. ... |

| THIS IS THE END, THIS IS THE EEEEEND- > To be continued. Oh, fuck me. |

It's a hybrid computer virus now as well, the infection rate will go up exponentially as it spreads on the world wide web. |

| That was one twisted ending, as expected from a twisted and gory anime. Everyone lost and the game won again, Riona didn't have to commit suicide, that was a dumb move for a guy she just met. Most characters of this anime lost the plot were they were to die, I think it was the writer's fault in that department. The person killed characters in a senseless way possible and illogic. Oh my god the Ousama game mystery revealed was a big flop, how can a virus send texts and communicate that one was absurd and very anticlimactic. As for Natsuko going to heaven, was ehhh ayayaya. The MC ayayaya was one soppy bastard who was useless in all the episodes, even he was overpowered by Natsuko and got killed( one word lame). It was like I was watching those low budget horror movies, except nudity and sex were insufficient. I say if you like senseless killings and weak plot be my guest to this one, but I won't be cruel like it so 6/10. |

| "So bad it's good" as never been so true since Mayoiga. At least it's well made in it's awfulness, unlike the bland Evil or Live. |
| Okkkkk i don't even know what to say because this one was sooo bad! But it had a slight difference, while others (bad animes that i watched) were painful to watch and i was counting time when the episode would end, this one was surprisingly different because i was watching it with a friend and we were laughing all the time because of how ridiculous it was xD I don't even know how to score it, 3?2?1? I've never scored an anime so low but this will probably be the 1st time, but i think 3/4 because even though that it was ridiculous it was still very funny to watch and i wasn't bored of it, maybe because i was watching it with a friend. Can't believe there will be a 2nd season, don't think that i will watch it xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I am glad it is over. The idea of an Ousama Game isn't too bad, but the execution was simply awful. An order game like this should give people a chance at least, instead they thought it was a good idea to turn it into a game in which basically everyone is sentenced to death already. I mean, it's technically not a battle royale (even though it kinda became one lol). Additionally, all characters were braindead to begin with and all I've seen was cringeworthy episode after cringeworthy episode. To be fair, it is not as bad as Pupa, but I think nothing is worse than Pupa, so that's that. A 2nd season.. meh. Maybe if I'm bored and want to watch another shitshow. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| This shit started off alright, but then it fucking nosedived. That ending was so shitty and forced it wasn't even funny. Also, you're going to HEAR a fucking chainsaw LONG before the crazy bitch gets anywhere near you with it!! My only regret is that whiny ass MC didn't die sooner. >:\ |
Speed is Life - 1st ID... patch on my shoulder. |
| I really enjoy deceit type games like dangaon ronpa ect, so this show was enjoyable enough for me to finish. I just dislike it when the game traps people into dying without any chance for everyone to survive. Natsuko should've been overpowered way earlier, and it was amusing to see just how long she could get away with being so overtly evil before it caught up with her. To all those saying 1-2 out of 10, man, how did you even make it this far? |
| I didn't care about the story, if they cracked the case or if anyone survived. I watched this because it was the best comedy I've seen helped by it being a sadistic mess of a show that tries to take itself seriously. Garunteed laugh every episode. Was a little sad that Natsuko died. That yandere queen should have won and gone on to terrorize more people next season. On a pure enjoyment level I give this an 8. On a technical level I give it a 4. |
Gaiking said: THAT WAS BATSHIT CRAZY, GORY, AND GOOD !!! Sad to see Riona kiss the dead Nobuaki @_@ She suicided and sank to the bottom of the lake along with Nobuaki. So the King's Game was really a virus inside their bodies, that makes sense and why bodies could just blow up like that. This was the complete ending and conclusion. No one survived as the King's Game was intended for this result which was a FANTASTIC revelation. The To be Continued in the end is apart of the conclusion. That The King's game begins with another group all over again. A SEASON 2 would not really be needed nor do I think it'd be as GREAT as this anime, telling about BOTH Nobuaki and his current/past game. I ENJOYED OUSAMA GAME SO MUCH !!! AMAZINGLY AWESOME ANIME !!!!!!! 10/10 Riona didn't suicide and sink in the ocean? That part in episode 1 was his ex from the first game. Riona chose to live hence a secound season. I wanted her to die so don't think I'd miss it if she did XD |
allblue1 said: Rewatch the last episode again. Riona clearly took Nobuaki's body with her, and walked into the ocean. The game continued because why the fuck not? Ok re-watched it. It was the sinking to the bottom of the ocean thing that confused me. We don't see that. It was insinuated that she drowned but wasn't shown so maybe she did survive. Also, Nobuaki made her promise to survive. So I think she may have lived and that's why it's continuing or they'll do a prequel type sequel. |
Jagh said: At long last I have finished this affront to humanity. I finished the last 5 episodes in a row. No person should be subject to such torture. The cia wouldn't even subject terrorists to this. To all the people that gave it a good score (above 5) you are what's wrong with mal rating system and why aliens will never visit us. Says the person who finished it even though they hated it and even watched 5 episodes in a row. If people hate this so badly why don't they drop it after a few episodes? |
| This was just bad. I can't believe I finished it all. To be continued? No. Please. That is really NOT necessary. |
 |
| Finally the end. It was extremely bad with so many things without senses. Fortunately, there was action, bad action, but action, so I succeed to finish it. After all the inconsistencies, it remains two main flaws: the characters and the pacing. The characters are not really introduced and die so quickly that I can't feel involved in the story or their deaths. It's almost fun to watch them die... And why did they made the two stories in one anime. The first episodes are so hard to understand, that even my brother who have read the manga was lost. Good OP. |
| god, even the second round of this ousama game, still not conclusive conclusion... was gonna give it a 4/10 but the fucking flashbacks ruined it even more. thank god i skipped them (Since i read the manga beforehand) |

Stark700 said: THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, Natsuko is still at it with her malevolent intentions... It's almost sad to see how low she's fallen but then again, I guess the show really tried hard to make the viewers hate her. Also, Natsuko with a chainsaw...lol. Good God, this show was a complete disaster. It's a prime example of a terrible hororr series in every direction. Natsuko's taunting is still very evident in this finale too and she stlll tries to kill. Natsuko's death is well deserved tbh. 2/10. It definitely deserves it imo. I noticed a "to be continued" for this finale..I hope that won't happen. if you read the manga... oh boy.. |
| I will dare say this. However made this anime was on drugs and nothing else. I hardly liket anything, the characters felt flat out, not developtment, not much worldbuilding and stupid sex scenes. |
 |
| I even left a review with a grain of salt to see how much i dislike it -___- |
| |
| I watched 'till the end because of Riona, she's the only reason why i didn't drop this damn series. So Nobuaki and his friends are in heaven even Natsuko after all those terrible things she has done, the author ain't know no shit about how heavens work, i tell you what. Everyone died at the end so that means the virus should have not spreaded but the after credit scene there's a guy receving a text from the King, like what the heck ? and it's also says "to be continued"... pls kill me now 4/10 |
