The problem with death games, is that the writers / creators don't treat the rules of the death game like a hard magic system with set rules, limits, costs, and constancy. The rules of any supernatural system are almost always better when bound by the writing rules of a hard magic system. Even the grand daddy Death Note was still just making stuff up till the end.
Have you watched tasuketsu? Cause I think privileges and special privileges have their hard rules to use them you literally need to sacrifice a part of your body if it is not important like your hair the effect wont be so powerfull but if your sacrifice your entire legs the effects will be a huge advantage to survive the main plot of tasuketsu is not the fate of the majority the main plot are the privileges and fights among the people who have them Also even the "fate of the majority" has its own rules you just need to pause the episode to read the rules
totally! just fucking build a system and make characters operate within it, taking full advantage of the limited information they have. In each situation, a character should act reasonably withing the bounds of who they are, what is their personality, what is their powers and what information they have about the situation (and what they know about their powers). I'm so fucking sick of having people be basically god if they used their power to full extent but they don't do that because the plot needs to go on in a certain way. One of the worst demonstration oif this, in an otherwise well made series, is re:zero. You have the power to go to the check point after death indefinetely? use it from the beginning to full advantage you dumb fuck. Especially after you verified that that power has literally no limits. Put yourself in certain death situations just to gather information and make your next life easier. And stop bitching every time someone you care about dies, i understand the first 2-3 times it's hard and leaves you with trauma but holy shit you can just kill yourself and repeat everything and prevent their death the next time. At least TRY. Use your brain for fucking once lol. 90% of shows like this are the equivalent of the horrible mobile game ads where they play bad on purpose to make you want to download play the game properly.
There are no hard magic rules when there are abilities that can overwrite reality like killing people remotely because they belong to a larger group that makes pretty much anything posible.

The score on MAL is weighted so heavily toward 6 and 7 that you can find show well in the thousands of place that still have a 6. For reference, out of 13580 rated shows on MAL, only 621, 4.5% of shows, score below a 5.

I mean like it's kinda hard to match up to something as peak as dandadan but your so right always every time when there are really good and peak animes there is always garbage in it's wake
Seriously. I expected it to just be an entertaining enough show to hold me over until the next episode of the better shows. And I actually liked the first two episodes. But after the third it got so incredibly boring.
What's funny is that in the latest episode, it's revealed that Saneatsu and Saaya aren't dead and that the Emperor's body disappeared from the tower, meaning he's still alive.
I was somewhat interested because at the end of ep1 the male MC died. Dropped it on ep2 the second i saw he got revived. I thought it was gonna be a show where no one is safe
He died again but the body isn't decayed from how much time have passed after his dead. For others how they still alive was explaining - time freezing right which can be applied on specific things. But of course for MC that wasn't explained only implied. Plus now there's kinda MC replacement.
So, do the characters still have internet access? Because if they do, then it would be trivial for all 1,000,000 people to coordinate their answers to ensure that only one person dies per question. This also only works if you have to answer the questions honestly, which wasn't explicitly stated but might've been implied.
They don't answer the questions. Tasuketsu ('s system) scans all the participants and separates them into the two possible answers. People can't lie or leave a blank answer. That would defeat the whole purpose of the game
@DarthMizaru They wonder about it, but it's left unanswered (it's in the first epispdes, so I don't remember all the details). Their best guess is that the Emperor wouldn't want/allow the game to be infinitely prolonged, so something would be done to break the tie (eventually).
The problem with this death game is that the author had a cool idea, but didn't have a clue to execute that idea in a coherent way. They just wanted to make "cool" moments without understanding how a moment _becomes_ cool.

6:17 yeah this is where it lost me. The anime has no sense of continuity and the story is so fast paced I’m constantly asking myself if I missed something or an episode.
Looked forward to another death game adaptation, and dropped it after 2 episodes. Man. Honestly even after the synopsis, I only got like 80% of your explanation lol. The premise seems to be thrown out the window with these “rights” and “prime rights”
So, like, the questions. What’s stopping someone from putting in the question “Are you [their name] born on [their birthday]?” Since the answer with the majority of responses die, there’s a very real chance that that would instantly end the game for everyone other than the people with Rights to avoid it

Why is there a Dragon at 11:07? Why does a Death Game Anime have a Dragon AND Zombies in it? This is so stupid I would have imagined it in Konasuba, but even Darkness would refuse the Pain of watching this!!!!!
Thank you for watching it for me because I couldn't even get through the first episode before dropping it. If the source material was actually good then I feel bad for fans of it with this anime cause one of the manga I liked got completely annhilated in the anime adaptation. "The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World." I heard the anime was adapted based off of the LN which I didn't read but when I read the manga it was genuinely entertaining, I got invested in the characters, the characters weren't copypastes and had depth to them, THE ART IS AMAZING AND UNIQUE, and the protagonist is not a self insert. Meanwhile in the anime the story was boring, the characters had no soul, the mc had every ounce of character sucked out of his very being, and not one, but two of my favorite scenes had all the emotion sent completely out of the picture.
Imo the show had a decent premise, like some abilities made some sense like the prime right to veto, divide, the right for stationary or the parental one, were pretty creative its just that most of the other ones were just so out there, like the summoning one, the fusing one, the display one, the command one, the no damage one and most of the ones from the enemies. plus the show wasn't even that creative with the death game aspect, like the risks, consequences and the loop holes it provides. the idea that only the minority of something survives puts a real spin on things, like the main character dies in like the second episode cuz of one. but they immediately find a loophole to bring them back with a question???? like that was way too soon in my opinion, also some characters that seem super important straight up die like abruptly, like one guy who was like a anti hero kind of person on their party dies cuz someone flashbangs him and stabs him???? and then he just bleeds out????? and then that same guy is is supposed to be wanting to kill everyone just dies instantly without acomplishing anything, and another dude is a villain at first and then he remembered how his dead buddy was like a really good guy and gives being good a chance????? AND NOW THERES A NEW MAIN CHARACTER AND NO MORE DEATH GAME????? like the falloff and wasted potential is so sadddddddddddddddddddddddd.
Didn't make it through the first Episode. Couldn't make it to 3 or 4 episodes in rule before judging. just half an episode I judged. ... Thank You for Taking the HIT for the Rest of Us!!
Personally I feel like this is one of the better non sequel/S2 series of this and last anime season. Compared to other death games like kings game, Darwin's game, or Tomodachi game, this one actually has a more interesting premise/powers and the strategies/mind games they use during the series (especially later on) is actually there, which is harder to say for some of the other series of the same genre... Also like how it's not trying to be an "edgy"/dark death game and actually has some substance to it I feel like there were parts that the viewer didn't know, but it never felt like they pulled something out of nowhere/we had enough info to connect the dots. Also like the fact that not everyone is participating in the game by looking for the mailboxes/laptops cause I feel like if something like this was to happen irl, a lot of ppl wouldn't care about the game and just take this opportunity to do whatever they want.
I think the only decent death game we had in this past few years is tomodachi game. Darwin's game is fine aside from the character design. Even 5 seconds to battle is sht and I've been looking forward to it but sadly it's still a disappointment.
Has there been any good death game animes lately? Like I'm genuinely asking because I feel like every death game anime that I've heard that has come out recently has been bad
I think if I'm being biased Alice in Wonderland is kinda good. I consider it a death game because the players are forced to play new games to get cards in a weird wasteland city. The protagonist isn't op but he is clever in his own way figuring out solutions sometimes out of the box. You can sort of fell the high stakes too.
There's also some anime that I only recommend that is from word of mouth but haven't gotten to watch which is Kaiji. It's characters are quite pointy but it is a gambling anime with potential death something Kagekugurui doesn't go that far. And this is another personal likes that may not appeal to most people is Btoom! A death game with that sorta FPS but with Boombs that has various functions to strategize to kill players for the chip to get out of the island used for entertainment kinda like Hunger games but without the sponsors and tributes.
Darwin game was decent, through the animation was mediocre. Deatte 5 biyu the battle also came out kinda recently but the animation was so bad that the story was the only thing carrying it(read the manga, its actually rather good)
@@farisanwari777 It really does a good job of forcing the players to fight for their lives. There's also smart solutions if ot weren't for the illusion of impeding death by the time a new game starts.
That thing-the one where characters have access to information that we don't-I'm not sure if it's a trope that has a name, but, I've taken to calling it the "Scooby Doo", because it's part of the episodic formula for the TV shows of that franchise. Velma always knows something that the audience doesn't. It was what made me angrily dislike that Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movie. There's a scene where he touches a gravestone and licks his fingers, and then that is never explained... right up until the climax, where it's revealed that some kinda beeswax could be used to glue a tombstone back together so it could be escaped from. (Or something, ive never watched the movie again.)
Can you choose not to answer the daily question? Why didn't the living just leave Tokyo witin a few days? I didn't see the anime, so these questions may have been answered.
The concept of the death game was interesting when I first read the synopsis for the series. I thought it could’ve very easily been a very mindfucky battle of wits and weight. But in the first episode, everything went so wildly downhill that I just couldn’t continue. Incredibly sad to know the death battle just doesn’t matter after.
Hey lunar equinox could you talk about bungo stray dogs anime since i haven't seen any video on it. you will like it plus it has mystery elements better than this anime and it's both a talk and action
I'm glad I dropped it as soon as the dudes got revived. Despite the flaws in the writing I noticed, I was actually hyped that they were doing a protagonist switch right at the beginning and wanted to see how the story would play out with no men. When that didn't happen, any interest in the show left me.
I really like the Death game genre and one of my fave is probably Danganronpa. In fact it's even one of my overall favorite anime and that's even though I know a lot of people say the games are better. Still, anime-only I love it so much. But I think because of how much of an impact that has on me I don't think any other death game anime has seemed appealing to me. I'm scared wondering how bad this is because I've found Osama Game to be the worst death game anime AND anime as a whole I've watched so I can't imagine if this is worse than that 😂
It sounds like the writer wanted to feel smart for you not figuring the mystery. However, a truly smart writer *wants* you to figure out the mystery with the clues left behind. Reaching the intended solution is part of what makes a good mystery! I believe I heard it best: Being predictable isn't a bad thing. Being predictable means that what you've been setting up has payed off. People treat predictability like it's a bad thing, but that's just pattern recognition at work. The problem is when you become cliche.

Meanwhile in the anime the story was boring, the characters had no soul, the mc had every ounce of character sucked out of his very being, and not one, but two of my favorite scenes had all the emotion sent completely out of the picture.
It takes special talent for a death survival anime to rank the worst 🙄
That intro though, sheeesh... and I thought "Why Does Nobody Remember Me In This World ?" has terrible animation
Imo the show had a decent premise, like some abilities made some sense like the prime right to veto, divide, the right for stationary or the parental one, were pretty creative its just that most of the other ones were just so out there, like the summoning one, the fusing one, the display one, the command one, the no damage one and most of the ones from the enemies. plus the show wasn't even that creative with the death game aspect, like the risks, consequences and the loop holes it provides. the idea that only the minority of something survives puts a real spin on things, like the main character dies in like the second episode cuz of one. but they immediately find a loophole to bring them back with a question???? like that was way too soon in my opinion, also some characters that seem super important straight up die like abruptly, like one guy who was like a anti hero kind of person on their party dies cuz someone flashbangs him and stabs him???? and then he just bleeds out????? and then that same guy is is supposed to be wanting to kill everyone just dies instantly without acomplishing anything, and another dude is a villain at first and then he remembered how his dead buddy was like a really good guy and gives being good a chance????? AND NOW THERES A NEW MAIN CHARACTER AND NO MORE DEATH GAME????? like the falloff and wasted potential is so sadddddddddddddddddddddddd.
Dude I'm only two videos in and this is the funniest anime review TH-cam channel I've ever seen. Please keep up the good work!
those 5 chibi's for the "spoiler alert" made me chuckle.....what are they from?
I’m glad you took your time cooking this 5 star vid
tldr: thanks for the swag
12:18 “What are we, some type of suicide squad?”
Didn't make it through the first Episode. Couldn't make it to 3 or 4 episodes in rule before judging. just half an episode I judged.
... Thank You for Taking the HIT for the Rest of Us!!
when the guy saids he trade off his balls for infinite bullet i lost it and stop watching the anime
9:41 that wasn't a diddy joke? There's no way that's the actual power...
Personally I feel like this is one of the better non sequel/S2 series of this and last anime season. Compared to other death games like kings game, Darwin's game, or Tomodachi game, this one actually has a more interesting premise/powers and the strategies/mind games they use during the series (especially later on) is actually there, which is harder to say for some of the other series of the same genre... Also like how it's not trying to be an "edgy"/dark death game and actually has some substance to it
I feel like there were parts that the viewer didn't know, but it never felt like they pulled something out of nowhere/we had enough info to connect the dots. Also like the fact that not everyone is participating in the game by looking for the mailboxes/laptops cause I feel like if something like this was to happen irl, a lot of ppl wouldn't care about the game and just take this opportunity to do whatever they want.
That symbol reminds me of the reclaimer symbol from Bungie's Halo and Marathon. 😅
I think the only decent death game we had in this past few years is tomodachi game. Darwin's game is fine aside from the character design. Even 5 seconds to battle is sht and I've been looking forward to it but sadly it's still a disappointment.
What was wrong with 5 seconds? I thought it was pretty decent when I watched it
@StevenMcSteve the animation is so underwhelming compared to the manga especially in the last few episodes.
1:30 Bro I was watching it 😭😭 10/10 4th wall break
Has there been any good death game animes lately? Like I'm genuinely asking because I feel like every death game anime that I've heard that has come out recently has been bad
I think if I'm being biased Alice in Wonderland is kinda good. I consider it a death game because the players are forced to play new games to get cards in a weird wasteland city. The protagonist isn't op but he is clever in his own way figuring out solutions sometimes out of the box. You can sort of fell the high stakes too.
There's also some anime that I only recommend that is from word of mouth but haven't gotten to watch which is Kaiji. It's characters are quite pointy but it is a gambling anime with potential death something Kagekugurui doesn't go that far. And this is another personal likes that may not appeal to most people is Btoom! A death game with that sorta FPS but with Boombs that has various functions to strategize to kill players for the chip to get out of the island used for entertainment kinda like Hunger games but without the sponsors and tributes.
Darwin game was decent, through the animation was mediocre.
Deatte 5 biyu the battle also came out kinda recently but the animation was so bad that the story was the only thing carrying it(read the manga, its actually rather good)
@@UniversalControl-13alice in wonderland was my first and only foray into such a genre, man that thing messed with my head for quite a while
@@farisanwari777 It really does a good job of forcing the players to fight for their lives. There's also smart solutions if ot weren't for the illusion of impeding death by the time a new game starts.
How did they know what was in the letters without reading it??
Idk why everyone thinks this is anime is bad.I actually like it:D
Brother needs to make part 2 ASAP. Stuff funny as heck.
Full agree. Talked about it on my tier list, but man was this a huge disappointment.
That thing-the one where characters have access to information that we don't-I'm not sure if it's a trope that has a name, but, I've taken to calling it the "Scooby Doo", because it's part of the episodic formula for the TV shows of that franchise. Velma always knows something that the audience doesn't.
It was what made me angrily dislike that Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movie. There's a scene where he touches a gravestone and licks his fingers, and then that is never explained... right up until the climax, where it's revealed that some kinda beeswax could be used to glue a tombstone back together so it could be escaped from. (Or something, ive never watched the movie again.)
I don't know why, but the "oh no a floating PNG" really cracked me up
3:16 song name?
It’s the ending song of the anime, I think it’s called “Game Over”
@@bathtubmermaid6215 thanks
I watched only one episode and almost immediately dropped the anime.i dont know but the anime didn't click with me
Some day I wanna go back and polish some of these ideas.
Can you choose not to answer the daily question? Why didn't the living just leave Tokyo witin a few days? I didn't see the anime, so these questions may have been answered.
The concept of the death game was interesting when I first read the synopsis for the series. I thought it could’ve very easily been a very mindfucky battle of wits and weight. But in the first episode, everything went so wildly downhill that I just couldn’t continue. Incredibly sad to know the death battle just doesn’t matter after.
The story actually sounds interesting but if this is 10episodes i think i understand your point.
0:19-No, I'm sorry I need more context for this statement
Jamaican stereotype.
The stereotype being Jamaicans absolutely love white chubby women.
Hey lunar equinox could you talk about bungo stray dogs anime since i haven't seen any video on it. you will like it plus it has mystery elements better than this anime and it's both a talk and action
There’s plenty of vids on it
No I'm talking about his take on it
Japan makes no sense ass animes get 2 seasons but good animes take at least 4 years to get a chances of second season
I'm glad I dropped it as soon as the dudes got revived. Despite the flaws in the writing I noticed, I was actually hyped that they were doing a protagonist switch right at the beginning and wanted to see how the story would play out with no men. When that didn't happen, any interest in the show left me.
I really like the Death game genre and one of my fave is probably Danganronpa. In fact it's even one of my overall favorite anime and that's even though I know a lot of people say the games are better. Still, anime-only I love it so much. But I think because of how much of an impact that has on me I don't think any other death game anime has seemed appealing to me.
I'm scared wondering how bad this is because I've found Osama Game to be the worst death game anime AND anime as a whole I've watched so I can't imagine if this is worse than that 😂
🤨what you mean by that 2:27
2:14 i quit watching since this sucks (the anime). it is so bad i can't hate watch it
0:58 This can't be the real voice acting.. nah! This got me rolling.
Man just like: oh no. You died. Okay.
It sounds like the writer wanted to feel smart for you not figuring the mystery. However, a truly smart writer *wants* you to figure out the mystery with the clues left behind. Reaching the intended solution is part of what makes a good mystery! I believe I heard it best: Being predictable isn't a bad thing. Being predictable means that what you've been setting up has payed off. People treat predictability like it's a bad thing, but that's just pattern recognition at work. The problem is when you become cliche.
If you want to watch anime at 4x speed again there are speed controllers that go up to 16x that can be added on to most web browsers, I use one to stream most entertainment at 3x speed and ads at 16x
I just wonder one thing:
"Is it worse than Ex-Arm?"
No. Ex-arm always worse
your videos are actually golden, actually funny throughout the video. The last joke at the end actually got me in tears.
keep making videos
This is the kind of anime that's more fun to see people rant about it than watching it yourself
17:37 this is how Indian tv series are😂😂😂
the second part gives way more information and makes things make sense. i dont understand the hate, since i love this anime. one of the best.
so this is dandadan, animated by blue lock studio?
For me, Failure Frame is the most disgusting revenge isekai anime I've ever watched it in 2024, but the best mecha anime I've ever watched it in 2024 was Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms.
lunar is never chosen to take the picture for a group photo
Imagine watching Monogatari after this.
I felt like I was stuck for 1000 years on Antarctica naked and then thrown into a volcano.
Feels good, I think.
the start is really similar to the king game but then "Evryone except us died" and evryting gets completly nuts
Still better animation than blue lock season 2.
can BL2 even be called an anime?
out of ur mind if u think blue lock s2 is worse than this
I love watching Tasuketsu, also there is a 2nd part.
I do agree the pacing is bad but it's still one of my faves this summer, I just love this genre.
4:17 Middle age man in 3rd world countries lmao
17:49 Fiturrrreeeed!
15:47 i love Peggy's design
0:16 bro😭 and I’m not specifically Jamaican but I am part and I remember reading this manga a while ago lol
hey aniwave back
This anime sucks majorly, but DAMN that ending OP hits hard.
Soooo.....did they try to do an anme equivalent to a gamejam with a short time limit and budget?
It's 24 episodes
Ain’t no way 0:41
Thanks so much for saving me from this anime u deserve way more recognition for your hard work
Nonono please i know im late but why when how do they have a dragon to fly up the tower there was absolutely no mention of it
I watched the first 3 episodes and still don't have a clue what's going on lol
I haven't watched the video yet, but I am feeling like I want to watch some trashy anime, just so I can laugh my ass off at how bad it is. And then check all bad reviews while crying even more. I just need the time now...
