I see some ppl complain about the score and they feel like this show should have a higher score. So what do you like and what do you hate.

i advocate the opposition,while the hype build-up is good,the payoffs have turned out to be anticlimactic and the characters are too histrionic,there is null sense of realism.

I think it mainly has to do with the fact that the author sacrificed too much context in the beginning of the story for all the insane plot twists, mind games, etc. that happen later on in the story.

From watching people's reactions I can tell that not enough context or background info on the world or the characters was given to allow most viewers to care about the first two games at all. I'm not saying it wasn't interesting for me, I just absorb the world they live in as I see it, which makes it easier for me to get into and enjoy all the strategical thinking of each round of the Tomodachi game.

i was so confused on how should i feel about the anime, so i basically read the whole 100 current chapters of Tomodachi Game and I think i figured out why. The reason why this anime is pretty bland is because how faithful it is to the manga

Being faithful to the manga isn't a negative thing, but there are some mangas that are very difficult to adapt to a screen or animation medium, and Tomodachi Game is one of them. The manga is simply full with text and expositions, and the thrill comes from reading it. Unlike the anime, which essentially duplicated the manga's entire dialogue and frame by frame, resulting in uneven episodes. One episode could be full of exposition for 20 minutes, the next episode could just illustrate how smug these folks are, and the final episode could just be Yuuichi and the observers explaining why the smug person is stupid. While there's nothing wrong with that kind of premise and it's a lot of fun to read, it dosen't work on the animation Medium.

Another factor is that they're adapting the manga's worst chapters. The first 15 chapters of the manga, which is presently being adapted into an anime, are some of Yuuichi's worst attempts to outplay the others, and the games aren't as exciting as the others, and the characters are just an uninteresting blank slate. I can't really fault the anime for this; the manga has its own issues with friendship development (or the lack of). This is why Tomodachi Game is one of the most polarizing anime experiences I've recently had.

for me it's cause yuichi's plans aren't very well explained
I literally din't understand the plot of the first and the second game at all, I understood the rules and all, but I really din't understand very well some things that yuichi did and why he did it (even he saying what he did) , and it disappointed me a little
very different from death note for example, L and Kira did complex things but it's very well explained, and you get like: wow, it was amazing

Yes. The manga was similar
Uptil game 2 and some parts of game 3 was just cliché plot with some unexpected things here and there. But The best part imo, if it were to adapt in this season, will be chapter 22 and 23.

Directing leave much to be desired.Under some quality studio (madhouse,bones,wit,mappa,white fox) this would have been different story.I'm thankful for them for trying to be faitful to the manga but that's not enough at the moment.Some manga are really hard to adapt and tg is one of them.They really should have choose some higher class/experienced studio that's just my two cents.

I feel like the first game was really poorly explained which lead to confusion for me-
The second game was pretty entertaining and i could understand the mc’s tactic better. What kept bugging me tho is how little you get to know about the characters and their background of doing things. You know so little about Yuichi’s persona so far that i basically have to guess what his next actions could be and it’s a 50/50 chance. He straight up could be a liar or it’s all his tactic. Too much confusion for a rather simple concept and simple game rules.
Other than that the series has a fun concept which is not boring to consume

I think the creators made the show a bit to complicated. If you don't speak japanese, it's really hard to follow the show with all of it's (game) rules and twists. The subtitles are plopping up in all corners of the screen and you have to read 3 subs at the same time.

Also, i don't like the plot very much, but that's just my opinion.
Anyway, i don't think that i'll drop the show, cause this spring-season is really really weak.
Spy X Fam and Kaguya-Sama are the only really great shows this season. They are the anly Animes this Season, which play in the first class.
Komi and Summertime Render are OK i would say.
Shield Hero is a huge disappointment. Shikimori-san and Aharen-san are not much better.

I hope for the Summer season. Lot's of great stuff and also some dark horses i'm really interested in.

The mind games and strategies aren't bad by themselves, but I don't care about the characters at all; the overdramatic way they behave, the problems in their pasts and their motivations for doing certain things are completely ridiculous, and as a result of this, reveals and plot twists that are meant to be taken seriously become unintentionally comedic instead.

The anime is simply bad. The manga starts out very bad too but becomes decent by the end of vol 3 and progressively becomes better.

I mean, the first chapters of the manga are indeed kinda generic, nothing special, but even so they are done quite better compared to the adaptation. I would not say the start of the manga is bad, it's just cliche and generic and serves as foreshadowing for next events.
Either way, this kind of story like Tomodachi Game, Usogi, Liar Game are better in "written media" anyway

yeah it’s so cringe for me that i find it unintentionally comedic. also there’s a lot of dialogue or confusion if ur not a native japanese speaker.

I think the score is accurate.

I liked:
1. I liked the premise.
2. Visually appealing (character design, background, animation).
3. MC, Shiho & the one in charge of their group were likable.
4. Op and Ed were good.
5.

______________________________________

I disliked:
1.Execution of the plot could have been done better. Pacing maybe I guess, was out of whack.
2. The other three main characters and all side characters were unlikable and we don't learn enough about them to care.
3. Didn't get to know the MC's backstory.

As an anime super fan I rarely find myself wanting to say stuff like that, but: The creator of this anime is a sick son of a b*tch that should have as painful death as it get. Animes with this kind of mental/psychological strikes against the characters makes me sick to my stomach (and I dropped it on episode 3!). Only twice before did I find myself feeling this way and I tell you, it makes me want to quit watching anime. So thank you NOT for makeing this anime for me to throw up because of. And I know that because of some sick bastards that can actually like this sh*t this kind of anime will live on so I'm writing this anime just in hopes to make the creators of this abominations to feel at list a bit sorry that they got payed for this.

I just liked watching Yuichi being a manipulative asshole and that is about it, none of the other characters were even a bit interesting to me, nor did I care about them at all. The plot was ok too but I am not really a fan of the cliffhanger ending...the series should have been longer.

What are you exactly talking about ? Could you be more specific ? In which ways this anime triggered you so much ? I'm genuinely curious.

It sounds like you genuinely have problems that need to be checked on, and I mean this in a serious way. I'd recommend therapy.
