What happens when two people, who befriended themselves just recently are pitted against each other in a pool match in order for them to survive is the whole concept behind Death Billiards. Death Billiards is a part of the Anime Mirai project and for me, this was the first anime that I watched from this project; and I did not even feel a sliver of regret after finishing it.

After reading the synopsis, I had my doubts if this show can accomplish what it set out to achieve within a solitary episode but I was proven wrong. The story meted out almost all the conditions; trying hard to not leave any loopholes.

Since the animation was done by Madhouse, I had high expectations and it did not let me down one bit. The animation was brilliant and the attention that they paid to bring out many minuscule details showed how meticulously the team had planned so as to please the eyes of us viewers. Sound... well, I paid only partial attention to the music aspect since the story made me incline towards it for the most part.

Yuuichi Nakamura, Asami Seto and Tomoaki Maeno form the crux of the voice-crew and all did their jobs very well, especially Yuuichi Nakamura. Characterization was very good and the emotions depicted by the voice-actors made it even more outstanding.

This above saying epitomizes the entire concept and the entire episode of Death Billiards

Overall: 8/10
