Trillion Game brings a fresh and new story to a market rife with magical fantasies. A corporate comedy/drama in the purest Shark Tank style, where the most compelling aspect is the negotiation strategies. We have the story of our protagonists, whose goal is to generate a trillion dollars. From there, a chain of events begins where we see how acts of good faith can synergize with deception and blackmail. Our protagonists, besides being very good friends, are also a representation of Yin and Yang. They are complete opposites in every way, but that's why they can work together to successfully move an emerging business forward in a sea of vipers, such as the corporate world. The story is an exaggeration to show us the shortest path to success; things will always turn out well for the protagonists and badly for the antagonists. Beyond seeing it as a bad thing, I can see it as a narrative device to show us the interesting side of this world of entrepreneurs.
There are negative things, but they're not in the story; they're in the art. My goodness, at first, it's hard to see the characters because to say their design is ugly is an understatement. The character design is quite uncomfortable to look at because it looks like art stuck in antiquity. The chins are the strangest thing; they're the most out of place on the characters' faces. This artistic decision often makes it difficult to immerse yourself in the story because you don't believe the descriptions you're being given of other characters. When they tell you "so-and-so is the most beautiful person in the country, look, she's dazzling," and when you, as a viewer, see her, all you can think is "but she's uglier than having diarrhea with a cough." As the episodes go by, you get used to the art, but it still seems ugly. If you're a visual person, you'll likely find it uncomfortable most of the time.
Trillion Game is definitely a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for a story that breaks away from current market trends, this is a great option. It's funny, it's entertaining, it has comedy, drama, a bit of romance, but above all, it makes you believe it's possible to earn a trillion dollars by doing the craziest things.
