Man, this one was a wild ride.
A world where ruling, disputes, election, etc, all had to be resolved through games. That's pretty neat.
A big thing that also gripped me was the art style. Goodness this world is colourful. Scenery, characters, actions, all of it was alluring.
But the best highlights of it all, was our MCs being devious little pricks that I couldn't help but acknowledge that was well played. The word game especially, ah heck yeah that was cool. For example, following the rules, once I say a word, it is literally removed from existence for the game. Meaning if I somehow get the chance
...
to say "Eyeballs", the players would be blind from losing their eyeballs.
The world and the games are what I watched for, but I had to muster through fan service that was quite in your face or plastered there just for the sake of. I think its worth it, considering how much fun and insane it can get from watching the games they play. That, and the mastermind plays by them.

Oh heck, what did I stumble upon. At the time, I had finished all the seasonal anime that I wanted to see, I had no more recommendations from friends, and I wanted some sweet action fights.
Then I ran into some...action play fighting. Bed play. Skin snuggling.
Alright fine, I admit, this is some straight up soft-core porn like animation.
The most 'ecchi' thing I've ever watched beforehand was No Game No Life, so this was quite the upset to what I'm used to.
I watched on for the action that was actually fun to see, it wasn't highly choreographed scenes or heavily impactful, but it was enjoyable.
The eye
...
candy was both stupid and hilarious. I ended up showing my best friend a few episodes on how silly it would get. Physics of the movements and the choice of positions were poked fun of.
That's probably the first of two reasons why I kept watching. The second was that I actually loved seeing the two who I thought should've been a full on couple.
It's probably because I love seeing couples being couples and this was another view of couples being couples. Everytime I'd see Mio and Barasa together, I'd cheer out loud.
Holy smokes when there was a maple syrup scene, the Canadian in me had made a vow that I would try that sometime.
This was just a stupid fun sort of entertainment, and I was totally fine with it. Turn off your mind and just laugh along. Otherwise, don't watch it, it is of course, distasteful and bad to a serious watcher.

2 major factors made me stick around this show;
Beforehand I had recently checked out the games Danganronpa and 999 series'. Having to witness a group go through an organziation's plans against their will or rights was interesting.
I have a phobia of pain, more specifically empathetic pain.
Our main cast is taken in for an experimentation, the Kizna System, where the group is connected by each others pain. Slowly but surely, we start to see how much this can amount on people.
It starts out with physical pain. When one person gets hit, everyone will feel the same hit.
Then came emotional pain. From despair and sadness, comes the
...
pain making us cry. It could even be from positive emotions, like happiness or joy.
Finally, came the most invasive pain of the lot, Heartache. The pain from a person's desires. While others may not have much heart towards something, they could feel when someone in the group had great feelings that they would've never noticed themselves.
Think of it all as this, I'm attached to you through the Kizna system, and were are in different rooms;
I get punched in the gut, we both will experience the pain of it. You'll be like "The hell? It hurts! Where'd that come from?!"
I get saddened from seeing an animal get hurt, we both feel gloomy. You'd react as "Wha-what? I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm not feeling hurt, why do I suddenly feel depressed?"
I start to think about this girl I like and become all stupidly fuzzy and spew desires that I would personally love, even if you share none of my desires, you feel and know fully what I am feeling about this girl I like.
The questions from watching Kiznaiver were;
Isn't this way too invasive?
If I get punched in the gut, they feel the pain, but what about the effects like getting winded? Do they also get winded?
Is this in anyway a step towards peace?
All in all, it was inquisitive to me. The twist had wrung my phobia the hardest. Orange hair girl is best girl. There were times I could relate, and times I'd just be "What in the heck is this?."
Kiznaiver isn't mind blowing, but it's not distasteful. It's interesting to see how our variety cast deals with the situation at hand. If you liked Danganronpa or 999, this might be a nice small little anime to get your brain thinking on these types of scenarios.
I wonder what a story would be like if everyone was forced to possess each other. Y'know, things like that. Interesting.
