I wonder if this will air during Spring though. Parasyte is a 2 cour running on the same station also by Madhouse so it's fairly possible.

Sweet I really liked this one.

So I'm guessing we'll get a different game and pair each episode.

Never would have expected this, really looking forward to it. However, one of the reasons I like Death Billiards as much as I do is that you could interpret it in many different ways and I hope the anime won't ruin that.

YESSSS

It's been a while since we got a Madhouse original series and DB was a great Anime Mirai short in a strong year.
This makes the second time that an Anime Mirai project got expanded (LWA2 was the first) and I think this has a lot of potential.

looking forward to this!

And Madhouse is another plus in my book.

OH MY GOD!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

But really, would it be as interesting as a series? I have to ponder on that, gonna rewatch it right now! EDIT: It can be an episodic series, with different players' situation. *nod nod* It can be very excellent. :)

btw, I freaking love the OST in the pv. It fits perfectly.
