Ending it on the trial in that fashion makes it look like a season 2 may be coming which I would love but I will not hold my expectations too high, I still really enjoyed the show despite it having a rushed finale, 7 out of 10 as a whole from me and Yuuichi is a badass.

the season finale is here! and it's as good as expected. I'm even more curious about Yuuichis past and somehow, it's looking like he set up the whole thing so that he can use the trust he gained from Mikasa Tenji and the girl to send them to their own game.

season two better come fastttt!

Even with all these people complaining about pacing I didn't mind it
This is peak
Call it edgy or whatever u want but the fact is this anime deserves the praise
Reading manga sounds good and probably is better than the anime but I came in here with no expectations and I've enjoyed every week of it
Season 2 defo needed

that villain sure is a loser, as he has been exposed badly.... when times get tough, he will sacrifice his friends for his personal gain....

The ending is fine for me....

It's finally over, absolutely atrocious anime. 3/10, and I think I am being generous here. It reminds me of something you enjoyed tremendously during your childhood, but when you revisit it 10-15 years later, it comes across as obviously garbage.

Young, green behind the ears, ignorant. If you are these things, you'll enjoy this anime.

Oof. Not a good place to end it. A very rushed final episode that sets up more than it resolves. Yuichi’s strategy for the rock paper scissors was also easy to see yet this show wants to explain it like it was some genius level tactic. A lot of edge too. Wasn’t a big fan of that either.

In total, I was quite disappointed in this show. I could see from episode 1 that the production quality would be bad, but I atleast expected the writing to get good. I was expecting Death Note level mind strats, but what I got was some smart moves played out way longer than it had any right to be.

So much time spent pretending Yuichi doesn’t have a plan when we all know he does. And when he actually does his plan it is often underwhelming because we’ve had so much time to find the clues and think about what to do in the situation.

So the main selling point ended up being a dud for me. It wasn’t completely trash though because the characters are actually written to have some depth, the games themselves are interesting, and the overarching mystery behind the Tomodachi game is a compelling one.

It’s a shame the adaptation wasn’t better. Solid 4/10

As an anime only I loved this series! Pacing felt fine to me and I was eager to see what happened next. Going to read the manga from the beginning and continue on this crazy ride. This was probably my anime of the year for now. Bleach will probably take that spot in October.

I ended up liking this more than I thought I would. Normally I hate the stupidity of most of these Death game styled shows but this turned out better than expected and I was actively invested in some parts because I was curious how Yuuichi would turn it around, of course I knew he always.

That said this last episode was totally not to my tastes with the needless scumbag antagonist and torture styled game, good thing it was a fake game.

I am curious to see more, my friend mentioned the manga was much better. I might consider picking it up cause the anime adaptation while passable does leave much to be desired. The OP was great though.

This felt really... rushed.
They just rushed everything and skipped so many things.
The manga was a lot more bloody too.
I did not enjoy the adaptation in this episode at all.
That ending was just... awful. Who ends an anime like that when no other season has been announced?

The most shocking thing for me in this episode, ignoring the horrible adaptation, was Kuroki's hair color!
I always thought he was a blonde...

Agree with you, he/she has a terrible taste. Also Tomodachi game was a hidden gem this season. Unfortuneately, there are too many Anya simps around...

Lol, rich coming from an Eren simp. Have you not seen how annoying that douche was for the first 3 seasons? Anya has done nothing to deserve any hate whatsoever, but yea haters like you always gonna hate without any reason (there is none for Anya). If you dislike SpyxFamily then that’s your choice, but saying Anya has “simps” is laughable.

Anyway in terms of this anime, although I enjoyed it the pacing wasn’t great, but Yuuichi was fun to watch

This is so rushed. There are no feel like nothing. When yuichi has his fingernails removed, he just looks normal. And the game just like speedrunning 1.5x speed in youtube clip

Last week i decided to read manga, the manga is very good. I think the anime did pretty good job for prev episode. But yeah for this ep, i'm expecting too much. I'm disappointed, my day is ruined :(

Well, The Episode Is Fantastic And I wouldn't Disappointed But I Give 4 vote out of 5,the reason is pointless but we have to wait one year for second season.
I expect atleast 24 episode but it gives break but Overall,This season is quite chilling and entertaining and I don't know why but I attached with character who hide their true power or devil face for a particular reason or some horrible things happened in their past.
And When He Saw Us True colour,it gives chill Vibe.
I Personally Attached With Yucchii❤️
Overall Rating Of Season I Give 8 out of 10✌️

What the hell is this ending? The pacing was terribly fast that I thought I was watching at 2x speed, plus some dialogues skipping which literally destroyed the sense of suspense and thrill the original Manga has conveyed. No Game No Life also had that Rock-Paper-Scissor game but it did way better.



Overall, this Anime is a bad adaption, just read the Manga if you got hooked.

Never understand how No Game No Life did it better. Both are just straight bullshit.


I'm talking about the pacing of both in Anime adaption. Whether it's bullshit or not is kinda dependable, something amazing to you could also be bullshit to someone else.

damn, I hate kokorogi !!!
Why tho? Yuichi even said that she wasn't at fault since their abductors forced a lose-lose outcome. It could be fair for her to share some pain, but I don't think she could handle 1/3rd of Yuichi's pain. And shes cute

Other than that, nice series. I was expecting some B rated shit at the start, but this anime rose much higher than my expectations. The way Yuichi destroyed their abductor this episode with ease was so good. Now I have to read the manga I guess, since I'm not a season 2 believer.

Already saw it coming, but it turns out way more horrible than I expected.
1/5 for the finale, bluntly speaking, wth with all those speedrunning and dump of info.
The cliffhanger strat ABUSE was totally a big slap in fans' faces and potential manga readers.
Truly questionable decision making from the director and scriptwriter. They indeed are not cut out for shows of this genre.

I've always been left on the fence with this show, bordering between if its games are smart, or just edgy and pretentious.

Well, this final game was certainly not favorable in tipping the fence.

The whole genius behind Yuuichi's plan was Kuroki overlooking that he only mentioned the restrictions on one hand?

They must have known this was dumb, so then they twist the real plan as being to expose Kuroki as weak and betraying to his friends - as if Yutori hadn't just let him endure all 3 (worsened) punishments?

Punishing only Kuroki makes little sense either, since his friends also participated in the game, and also had to fall for the hand trick - and all 15 of them somehow did.

Kokorogi was a little annoying that she didn't take a pain atleast once. Looks like Yuuichi's friends are being a pain ngl(except Tenji, currently) Haven't read the manga yet too but I can tell that Manabu isn't CGI there.

It's best to start from the beginning but if you wanna continue where you left off start reading in Chapter 26 then.

Honestly, the fast pacing kinda worked for this game, Jun Fukuyama feels right at home as Kuroki with how fast he speaks.

Anyway go read the manga. But still, I really enjoyed the anime. 8/10

WOW you have to read carefully, douchebag. I never said, that I hate Spy family or Anya. In fact, I have enjoyed the show so far (see my MAL account). What I meant, was that it was too overhyped because of one little cute character.

And last note: If you don't like Eren, it's your choice. I don't judge you and I don't give a damn thing what you think about AoT. But I judge you that are not able to read carefully smh.

Kinda sad to see this end but luckily the new anime season is coming so hope to be able to replace the thrill that was waiting for Wednesday to see Tomodachi's new episode!

It is true what they say that not all that shines is gold: there are a lot of amazing looking things out there just simply lack substance to keep you tuning in each week. While the art for this was average and there wasn't even much animation to start with, much less to call good... it was SUPER entertaining, specially the Hide and Seek game. With so many bland and monotonous shows out there where each episode is my checking how long it is gonna take for it to finish, it wasn't spectacular but still a fun ride to decompress on my day off.
I actually had to read up until that point in the manga during the H&S cliffhanger because I couldn't wait to find out how exactly had Yuuichi's team won lol

Do hope they make a second season for this, would be a definite watch! Since the show ended in not that big of a cliffhanger, I'll put off reading the rest of the manga until (fingers crossed) S2 is announced.

EDIT: Aah, regarding the episode itself, solidified my dislike towards Kokorogi. Lil rat couldn't even just take a lil pain, had to dump it all on MC. "But she is cute!", yeah, no.
The fact this whole situation happened right after Yuuichi tried to cut her off for good, and we were already shown she has only ever tagged along with the group because she is hung on on him... makes me think she either is directly or indirectly responsible for it happening. How did the dudes know about the Tomodachi game? How did they know she and MC were together and Yuuichi had a terrible dark secret, EVEN THOUGH it was shown Kuroki dude didn't know much into it? Someone had to feed them information about it all. And why call MC and no one else out of the group of friends? Cuz someone told them he would come, right...? Every time she has been the "victim" of circumstances, black knight Yuuichi has been on her side not just to support her but pull her through. Seems like an amazing orchestrated way to force it to happen once again and to get closer to him under harsh / stressful situation, namely after being shut off.
Additionally, the dudes didn't even gain anything out of the situation itself. They didn't get money of it, seemingly; if they wanted the girl they could have taken her by force, but they didn't; if they wanted to just torture the dude they could also keep on doing it longer and worse, but they didn't. So what. Was. The purpose? They also kinda look like dudes Kokorogi might have known, as shown in that episode Siho "saves" her when they first meet ( could that have been orchestrated tooooooo?).

Definitely some real shitty pacing in this episode. Would've been a much better choice to give this anime 13 episodes and split this one into two, but oh well.

Overall I liked it a lot. I thought the second and third game were very satisfying to watch, so it's a shame that the first and the last episode can't compare to that quality. But I also don't think they were THAT bad, just mediocre.

I'd give it a 8 out of 10, but because it was such a surprise to me and I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would, I'll bump it up to a 9.

To be perfectly Frank, this was a dumb way to end a series, an already shaky series btw. I was like uh when Yuichi passed out on us, as he was about to cut Kuroki. Lame end, most of it all, when it had hanged us like that.

Meh, this was a subpar series for me, that tried so hard to stand out by blending that school friendship with some squid game elements😐. I felt like most times it stumbled on itself with some facepalm twists that did little payoff at the end. The characters aren't interesting to begin with, to kinda invest in the story, the series does little to developed them either. I feel like the whole series focused on cheap shock value and some edgy elements to keep itself relevant to the simple viewer. It tried to make itself smart, while it came off as silly even for a laugh. I didn't hate it, as a matter of fact I would say It passed my valuable time in a fine manner. Just shut my brain and was in a stupor state.

I don't hate it but I don't like it, I'm in the fence about it while I'm not in the fence about it. I don't get it either, so don't bother asking.

Damn, for me Yuichii is the Best MC of The season
Better than Leon from otome game, i see him has a light yagami soul but more brutall and evil,,
i even cant guest what he thinking about, just like every situation happen he can handle very good and just like dancing in his hand,, damn its very rare to find similar MC like this Beside Kira,,
and i love the finall episode, when yuichi wining the game with all sacrificing he done for that burden woman, and planing to mutilating the man fingers but end up to make him losing everything he have like, friends and the believe of his friends,, yuichi is real something,,
also make his frend belive on him using low cost and what gonna happen next and what yuichi planning using his friend,, and i love when he smile at the end after he collapse,,
cant wait for next season,,,
