| With this being under Aniplex, hopefully that means it'll have a decent production at least. |
| Isn't this basically the same concept as King's Game? I hope this adaptation doesn't end up like it. |
 |
| The past work of this author was Nekogami Yaoyorozu? Hmm, it's rather unusual to see the author yuri-ish moe title change loli to shonen thriller with a male protagonist. |
 |
| I waited a long time for this news. Just hoping that they don't mess up the original story and character design |
| That's some amazing news. Can't wait to see Sui animated. Looks like we don't even know the studio yet but whichever one it is they better not fuck it up or I'm gonna be pissed. |
 |
| I thought it was a show about evolution, but it's mirai nikki without yuno. Too many ordinary highschool boys. |
    |
| Well this is interesting I like it just need more speedy translation for manga |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Hooh, I read the manga. We'll see. |

| One of my favorite manga and survival. Can't wait to see it animated. Shuka animated being the badass that she is will be amazing. I hope it's at least 2019 |
| Another edgy shounen with battle royale in plot's stead? Good, it's been a long time since we've had something like this. |

| Oh, that’s interesting! We’ve had plenty of similar shows but I hope this will be one that’ll manage to stand out. |

| "Ordinary high school student Kaname Sudou" Okay, thats all i can handle. |

Then I suppose I got the wrong impression, since I've never read the Darwin's Game manga (hence the question mark), but I plan to. Then, would it be more like Btooom and Mirai Nikki in a sense, or am I still not getting the right impression here? |

| Something tells me that A-1 will handle this |

Yeah, it's more along the line of Btooom and Mirai Nikki rather than King's Game, but not so much as a battle royale as those two. Let's just say everyone got their own unique ability and the game allows them to engage each other in fights (or force them to) for points. As usual, it gets dangerous with some individuals but it's not necessarily fights to the death. There's clan-making, player rankings, special events and all though. Antagonized said: Something tells me that A-1 will handle this Definitely not A-1 but I can see CloverWorks picking this up, maybe. |
It's kinda funny though since the series barely spend its time on school throughout its run. |
| It's not that good but still quite enjoyable so i am looking forward for the anime adaption for this manga. |
| Super hyped for this, the manga's been on my plan to read list for 3 years now so I guess I'll be waiting for the anime. |
| Since Aniplex is involved, at least we can be sure that it cant be worst than Ousama Game |
 |
| I enjoy battle royale stories, and been wanting to check out the manga for awhile, so I'll for sure be watching this! I hope this will be a good adaptation because it looks like a lot of people enjoyed the manga. |
 |
| This is nice. I just hope they will do it justice then it'll be an enjoyable ride :3 |

| A lot of anime I need to check out either coming next season or next year. Gonna really get into anime again even further. I took a big break from it again. :v |

Hades_Gil said: Hmmm.. not like SAO at all.. hmmm This is nothing like SAO. It's actually happenning in reality. |

| For some reason I was mixing this up with some Shounen Jump title that got abruptly cancelled. I'm not sure how to feel about this except the dude looks kind of boring and his companion looks kind of generic. Could surprise (but probably wont) Guy with the mullet looks interesting but I get the concept that something about him screams 'fodder' |
caio_brb said: Hades_Gil said: Hmmm.. not like SAO at all.. hmmm Hm yeah, because there's nothing like SAO Teenager gets in a game and can't go back. Game turns into a survival mission, MC surrounded by a ton of chicks. Not like SAO at all sire. |

Hades_Gil said: Are you really sure you know what you're talking about here?Teenager gets in a game and can't go back. Game turns into a survival mission Your point? SAO isn't only AINCRAFT and SAO isn't the only and one to have done that, neither was it the first one.MC surrounded by a ton of chicks. Where? Stop inventing shit.Not like SAO at all sire. No. Not like SAO at all, indeed. |

No. Not like SAO at all, indeed.Answering your 'remarks' in order. 1. Yes I do think I know what I'm talking about. 2. Never said SAO was the first one inventing survival game and shit, but do you hear people talking about ./hack and shit? I just pointed out the similarities. 3. Asuna's a boy now along with the other 3 female characters that I forgot the name of cause they were so insignificant.. Oh not the mention the newest addition to Kirito's rejected club; Shinon. 4. Yes not like SAO at all 'sire'. |

| Because, believe me, you don't. 2. Never said SAO was the first one inventing survival game and shit, but do you hear people talking about ./hack and shit? I just pointed out the similarities. This "similarity" of yours is not one in the first place.3. Asuna's a boy now along with the other 3 female characters that I forgot the name of cause they were so insignificant.. Oh not the mention the newest addition to Kirito's rejected club; Shinon. We're talking about Darwin's game. Where in this do you see the MC surrounded by girls like it is so in SAO? Why did you even say this in the first place? What kind of shit were you inventing?4. Yes not like SAO at all 'sire'. They couldn't be any more different. If survival is your standard for "being like SAO" then 3/4 of the entire animes of existence are "like SAO". And it comes from a false premise in the first place. Because the survival exists only in one arc of SAO, AINCRAD. |
