King's Game
| I don’t hate it but I did some research and it’s different from the manga (I didn’t read the manga people just talk about it). To be honest I really don’t care lol I’ll just watch it |
Nyanchan053 said: i can see why people hate or starting to hate this series....when this story progresses, it started connecting to science fiction and stuff... and i feel its kinda less intriguing or somewhat became less impact... you know, immolation, decapitation, dismembering, and all because of that is all related to a technology.... why not dont connect it to science fic and stay to the mystery/paranormal stuff... like the one they did in Another for like, finding the another classmate or teacher related to a class or somewhat relative related to class that died before the game started, then they have to kill that extra one so the game will be finally over.... or somewhat along the lines..... you know its better for a thriller/suspense/gore/mystery/paranormal to stay in the same genre and dont bother with the sci fi stuff... its kinda make the story go bland and uninteresting if those genre jump to sci fi.. you know it became logical why it happen... BECAUSE SCIENCE!!! if its a technology or computer virus... why not kill it with AVAST or McAffee or AVG or Norton or Malwarebytes, and not setting yourself on fire typing some "ping www.google.com -t" or "ipconfig" on cmd..... what do you think guys??? It's just because the characters in Ousama Game is stupider than the characters from a normal horror movie. |

| The writing was god awful. The motivations for any character made literally no sense ever. For an example, why was everyone afraid of Natsuko? It was the entire classroom against a girl and everyone let her do whatever the hell she wanted to do because.... plot I guess? Are you really trying to tell me the entire class room couldn't take one person? It was freaking dumb lmao. I didn't mind the flashbacks but they did nothing for the story because no one could get attached to any of the past people because we already knew they died. I felt they did that because they didn't have any faith in their actual writing so they wanted to tell two stories just in case they weren't green-lit for the second season. 90% of the choices were "Have sex with x!" "Do these simple tasks or die!" and you know what happened? Of course they freaked out for literally no reason. If someone told me to have sex with someone that's on the left of me or I'd die. I'll shack up with the person on the left of me because I wanted to live. The king didn't say it had to last a million years or anything, they were being so childish for no reason. Y'all are in high school you've seen porn why were literally all of them (but Natsuko) so... prudish?? And don't get me started on the protagonist. Like I get you want to help everyone but you've literally played the game before, you already know there's only one winner (or none if you want to be technical). His motivation was only because he wanted to have everyone stress on his shoulders so when they died he could scream "iTs AlL mY fAuLt!!!!111" which he did constantly. If he would have just played the game, hell if all of them would have just played the game and stop making stuff so difficult it wouldn't have been 12 episodes it would've been like 3 tops! The entire anime could be summed up in "Gory sexy psycho girl and her lap dogs!" Because that's all it was, Natsuko calling the shots and everyone in the background looking shock and appalled when she continues to do whatever she wants without any consequences. This was a chore to get through and I don't even understand how anyone could like this. |

| I'll admit it first. Even if I liked the first and sequel to King's Game due to it's concept alone, it definitely never was for it's characters or anything else. Just simple entertainment. Then, the anime came out and butchered everything beyond my believe. Semblance of characteristic or developpement than some characters had is no more, cuts in every scene, minimalistic animation, horrible pacing and just a total disrespect for the original work just make my skin crawl. But actually, Kigen(Origins) is actually a good chapter in this average/bad series. Smaller main cast with interesting character even if they do follow the archetype, the way the messages from the King appear makes for some interesting mind-game. THEY FREAKING INVOLVED THE POLICE/GOV IN IT ! The setting makes it more enjoyable than your typical high-school. I'll say people should give a shot and read Kigen and ignore the rest if they want :P |
| Because despite its glaring flaws and cheesiness it's entertaining, far from boring and makes me laugh. |
| Reminded me of shitty "for the gore" horror films, everything is garbage but you'll watch it anyway. |
 |
| Well, nobody mentally and emotionally sane could ever like a twisted game like the one depicted in the show. I mean, seriously? It's sick. I voted it appalling, but at least shows something for those who can read between the lines and understand what the show is actually portraying. Now they're going to flag me for hate speech because freedom of speech does not exist anymore and even expressing why you don't like something is hate speech. Remember to always like everything and, if you don't, never express why. Otherwise, the King (of this world) will punish you. *leaves because just got a text on his phone* |

| Because it does EVERYTHING wrong. There is nothing redeemable about this show. |
    |
| Because this is one of the worst anime ever realized in the history of anime. Im not kidding. This anime is just pure garbage. |
| I was basically laughing by the finale. One second there's a forest, the next second a random cliff appears out of no where, the next thing four people are dead for the most stupid reasons. |
  Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| how did they dragged miyano mamoru into this hot mess. |

Maneki-Mew said: So, I came across that one scene on Youtube and now, I feel very bad about laughing, when ... Please, tell me, that's a normal thing to do!? I mean, laughing about that scene, not that other thing. :X Tbh... I can't be mad at you. I actually laughed at that too. It's probably because I love black comedy/dark humour. And I (and you most likely) know it's really bad to laugh at that sorta stuff, but it just happened. You may have that kinda humour too. So don't worry about you potentially thinking you're some kind of psychopath or something. |

| Because it has a laughably bad plot and characters. I only recommend it to those who enjoy hefty portions of cringe. |
 |
| This show was so bad that it was good. I was laughing during the whole thing. So many "GOTEM!" moments. Can't wait for S2 |
| You know its really hard to say. Might be because I liked the show myself but it still does puzzle me why its hated to this degree. People are more or less saying the same negative things for it as those who hate Mirai Nikki and Elfen Lied but those still have dedicated fans. Sure Kings Game might not be as good as Higurashi, Blood C and the other two I mentioned but it really should appeal to the fans of these shows so why its not as liked as those its an interesting thing to think about |
 |
| For me it was such awful, idk about the end but with the flashbacks and the to much sex stuff at the start was a huge bummer for me and the horror elements they tried to add ended up being bad it was funny. |
| 1. Where the heck are the parents/police!? Is no one concerned that there are CHILDREN dying? You'd think that after 10 people from the same class committed suicide, at least SOMEONE would try to step in. The fact that the parents aren't even mentioned is beyond ridiculous. 2. What's the King's goal? Is it to break them, see how far they'd go? Then why would he create intentionally obscure commands that would kill off ten people at a time? Why doesn't he do more commands that affect each person on a deeper level? Or, if he's looking for pure carnage, why not kill everyone at once? 3. The base production levels are atrocious. Sooo many characters, not much development. Awful sound design. Direction is terrible. Characters don't act or even move like humans do. Hellcluster said: The anime is all about that. It shows humans can do anything for survive. That we're always next to complete madness. But you can show that so much better. Jigoku Shoujo, Now and Then, Here and There, and Kaiji both show how far people are willing to go, even for things less than their lives. Just because it shows terrible people being terrible doesn't make it good. Hellcluster said: " I don't know anymore what's right and what's wrong " Same argument as before. Shiki, Fate/Zero and Death Parade blur the lines so much better, and they're just better shows in general. Hellcluster said: Because people hate what they don't understand. Even this isn't true. No one understands Ergo Proxy, yet it manages to be a lot of people's favorites, including me. Mawaru Penguindrum and Kaiba are hard to understand, but they're both really good. Even Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the most critically acclaimed anime in existence, is nearly impossible to understand. Basically, it's not subject matter that makes an anime good, it's execution. And Ousama Game has abominable execution. |
Hellcluster said: Well, first ill talk about your comment. Question 1 is pretty obvious. I mean, if the anime was meant to be realistic, ousama game wouldnt even be a thing, as a computer virus and simple hipnosis can`t do anything that happens in the anime. And, if the anime`s hypnose was the thing, they could simple do hypnosis to forget the OG. What doesn`t happen as it would mean no anime at all. There's a difference between unrealistic because of science fiction, and being unrealistic because of massive plot holes. The first is reasonable, the second is just bad writing. Hellcluster said: Question 2 is answered by the King`s nature. The king isn`t someone so it doesn`t have necessarily a goal. But you can say that he`s goal is to kill everyone, as the end of episode 12 shows us a continuation of the OG, even though everyone dies in the last one ( in this case, the one in wich the anime takes place ). Then why not kill everyone off instantly? Why play with their lives? Hellcluster said: Question 3. Characters are not that bad developed if you consider a 12 eps show in wich everyone dies. Doesn`t make sense to develop more than 2 characters if you know that all of them will die. The direction wasn`t that bad at all, at least I had no problems with it. In the beggining is quite difficult to situate yourself but it isn`t a problem afterwards. Well, Magical Girls Raising Project is only 12 episodes, has nearly everyone die by the end, and still develops its characters. The only difference between the two (character-wise) is that OG has at least twice as many characters. And that's one of the biggest problems with OG--they try and put what really should have been 24 episodes into 12 episodes. Maybe they didn't have the money to make 24 episodes, but in that case, they should have adapted half of what they did, letting us sit with all the characters more, so that their deaths meant more when it happened. Hellcluster said: The point where you say "Characters don't act or even move like humans do. " Half correct half incorrect. They don`t act like normal humans do because, well, no one would at that situation ( that`s a point of the anime, though ). And yeah, the animation and the graphics of the anime aren`t very good. But I didn`t see it as a problem to understand the anime. ( and i usually dislike bad graphics ). Fair. Though I would say the animation is still a factor in whether it's good or not. Hellcluster said: In your quotes, the first one doesn`t really makes sense to me as showing animes better at one point isn`t very intelligent, as OG wasn`t made to be the better anime ( and it isn`t ). I understand what you mean if you say OG wasn't meant to be a better show than those specifically, but in general, it should want to be the best it can, which mean being at least on that same level of those shows in regards to story-telling and production values. But it just wasn't on that level. Hellcluster said: "Just because it shows terrible people being terrible doesn't make it good."Makes sense but isn`t appliable as the only icon of terrible people doing terrible things is Natsuko, and at the end of the series it shows she wasn`t that terrible at all, as the things she did weren`t that terrible at all too. This one confuses me, as from what I remember is that Natsuko is the worst kind of person. A desire to save herself and a tragic backstory does not excuse her actions. Hellcluster said: I can`t say much about the second quote as i didn`t see Shiki and Death Parade yet. What i can say is that Fate/Zero doesn`t reach the same level of madness of OG, so there`s no parameter here. Watch Shiki. It's on the same level of madness, and it blurs the line between good and evil so much that only a morally gray area is left. Hellcluster said: BUT there`s a difference between not understanding, misunderstanding and effectively not wanting to understand. I wanted to like it. I try to pick up most horror/psychological shows like this, because when done well, they're some of my favorites. I think the biggest difference between Ergo Proxy/Kaiba/Mawaru Penguindrum/Neon Genesis Evangelion and OG is that, despite the complicated plot of the other shows, they still manage to create a great emotional connection that people can relate to. If they don't relate to it, they just write it off as weird, pretentious shows. And not many people connected to OG (which goes back into the problems it had with not taking the time to develop its characters). You connected with it, which puts you in the vast minority. Hellcluster said: ( Is my english good? ) It's pretty good. At the very least, I can tell what you were trying to say. I'd say, as a suggestion, check spelling on some words. That's where you're the weakest. |
Hellcluster said: Shinki - PTW but if you take a look at my account you`ll see that I have a LOT of PTW anime and I don`t think I will see them all in the near future That's fine. Hellcluster said: Natsuko isn`t that bad if you see the last episode. I was caught by surprise when she said she did it all bc of her love for Nobuaki. A plot twist I wasn`t expecting. And also she went to heaven. What? Really? I don't remember that. I totally paid attention. Either way, I don't think that should excuse all the things she did, even if the show excused it. Hellcluster said: Playing with their lives could be, if the virus hypothesis is true, a way to disseminate the virus. If the King is someone then it would only mean he`s sadistic. Fair. Hellcluster said: And what do you mean with "spelling"? It's putting the correct letters in the words. For example, earlier you typed "histeria," which is spelled "hysteria." You spelled it "beggining" when it should be "beginning." Stuff like that. |
| There's a thing that readers need to know : This is an adaptation, not a bare copy. It's useless to just copy the manga. It's okay to change few things as long as it's coherent. The only that I regret is Ria who is totally useless in the anime compared to the manga, and the system of flashbacks which is... Clumsy. But I enjoyed the anime despite few inconsistencies |

| Wasted potential, Idiot characters, and too much deaths with no reason because they are uniteresting. |
