Jan 4, 2020 MyWaifuIsmylaifu Recommended Funny King's game is by far one of the best anime that has been released in the last 10 years. For true anime fans who watch this instant classic, they know for sure that King's game is a defining step forward for the genre. For a long time, many anime like my hero academia have been claimed to have taken this title. But, these anime have been nothing but shallow stories for children. While King's game takes anime BACK to it's roots and delivers a mature story with well written and deep character. King's game also covers very mature themes including death (obviously), sex and rape, young ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 4, 2017 ProfoundBaka Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) Okay, I had to make an account just to write a review for this. The other reviews I read seemed to miss the mark, and in my opinion come from pretty naive point of views. To me the worst part of this show is the animation and the sound, but it certainly isn't as bad as what haoliners has given us. I find it to be pretty tolerable, and considering animators in Japan are known to be severely under paid, I can certainly forgive it and proceed forward into what other qualities the anime has to offer. But if this is critical to your enjoyment, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 10, 2017 shi_na Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) For you guys who value morality or only like animes for their cuteness and for fun purpose, you guys should stay away from this one. IT'S NOT FOR YOU GUYS. This anime would be well-received by people who like one of the following genres: thriller, mystery, tragedy, psychological or who like anime like Higurashi, Mirai Nikki, Danganroppa or Elfen Lied. This anime is really outstanding personally speaking, from the first episode up to sixth which I've watched I can't wait for the next episode to come out since it was just too good. The story starts off with some kind of reminiscence or stuff about MC with ... Read more Open Gift Report

Dec 21, 2017 thepath Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) I personally found this anime very enjoyable. If you enjoy watching people brutally killed, suffer, break their fingers, forced to have sex, extreme drama and female character with evil/sadistic personality, then this is the right anime for you. For me this anime proves that you don't always need those "well written anime" to enjoy it. A lot of haters here are just judging anime based how well written the story and how much plot holes or because some character act stupidly in some situation. Those haters start analyzing the this anime as if it is Shakespeare story book or some kind of scientific journal. I don't ... Read more Open Gift Report

Feb 20, 2018 Kaiki-Deishuu Recommended Stunning. This show is the breath of fresh air the anime industry needed. Never before have I seen a show go to such lengths to cover its bases. The voice acting, music production, even the screen lighting is some of the most top notch work I've seen in a very long time. A few weeks back, I mentioned in an article that I had started Ousama Game over a decade ago and dropped it because it bored me. To anime fans, this is about the same as saying, “I really love the Bible but I am not keen on this whole God character.” Boy ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 16, 2024 Nitrofire11111 Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) This show changed my life. I have gained a new perspective on life after watching this show. I never knew how fortunate I am to be born during this generation when masterpieces like this are being produced. 10/10 watch, would watch again 100 times. For 10 years at least!!! Yes, "Ousama Game: The Animation" is an anime adaptation of the Japanese mystery horror novel "Ousama Game" written by Nobuaki Kanazawa. The anime follows a high school class that becomes involved in a deadly game orchestrated by a mysterious entity known as the "King." Each student receives orders via text message from the King, ...

Dec 15, 2017 Vivi_Stridde Recommended Preliminary (9/12 eps) Well maybe I'm on my own but in my opinion it is/was a great anime series. I really enjoyed it even so it's not a masterpiece or anything but I was from the first episode hooked and each character was kind of unique. But maybe my standards are not as high as others. I can say that it was quite disturbing but if you not that serious about anything like me you will problaby enjoy it too. Well maybe it's because I am a little bit weird that I can laugh at scenes where somebody dies. I know it wasn't realistic but I think that's ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 16, 2017 MellowTiramisu Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) i think this anime is recommended for who have highly mental,certainly for adult age. no fun no laugh in this story but if you want to watch unusual sensation and enjoyment of the story and plot,personally i recommended to watch this for Character i think its look good, because each other person is have a lot of wisdom which is different subtly if you have same taste with me "watch some series because you want to undestanding the story not looking for art" (this series for example) personally i'll give 8 ...

Jan 13, 2018 NameWithheld Recommended Okay, this anime has been getting tons of flack from all sides, and I get it. This is a thoroughly unpleasant, dreadfully grim anime. I get it. But that is the point. King's Game is like if you combined Death Note and Saw, two pieces of media I love, so I can appreciate this show. If you don't like horror, stay far away from this show, as it has some of the gnarliest gore and horror I've ever seen in an anime. Even so, the core idea is a good one that is executed properly. Like Saw, the game in King's Game is one that tests just ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 13, 2020 spacecraft555 Recommended In Defense of Kings Game Alrighty, I know I am very late to this anime. Like really late, but I just had to conjure up a review of this anime to defend it against its haters. Now, by no means am I saying this anime is a masterpiece, but I want to point out the fact that a 5/10 on MyAnimeList does it no justice. It does not deserve a 5/10. However, I can see why this anime gets a bad rep from people. It's because they're either a 13 years old kid that has never seen worse than a butterfly in anime or they watched ...

Oct 29, 2017 LukiGuki Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) The great thing about this anime is that it's a puzzle. Most animes just feed you and do all the work for you meanwhile in this one you have to work for it. *This review will have spoilers of both the anime and the manga* There are probably many reasons why people dislike it but I think that one of the main reasons are that they have no idea what happened before the new ousama game. In the anime they have flashbacks of what happened in the "old" ousama game. The flashbacks are scenes from the manga so that people who haven't read the manga could ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 21, 2017 S1ShadowHunter Recommended So you think you’ve seen comedy? Think again, I bet you never saw this one coming. The animation staff sure surpassed anyone’s expectation on creating this master piece of comedy anime. Don’t be fooled by the tag, it’s a trap to lure you into the best comedy anime of all time, the author, studio, everyone is in on the joke. Characters are absolutely hilarious in they own ways, unpredictable actions and dialogues will ensure that you can’t simply sit still. You’ll find yourself facepalming throughout the entire anime, if you can keep a straight face while watching it then I’ll commend you. The cringe level is off ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 11, 2018 Piefection Recommended To begin, I just want to say that I am SO THANKFUL that I didn't read the reviews first before I started watching this anime... I've spent a few weeks now searching and searching for an anime that I could binge watch without getting bored. After discovering this anime, I can finally buy a new calendar and start marking off the days I spend looking for a good anime all over again. Lot's of people down here in the review section think this anime is hot garbage, and I really cannot understand why. I mean I understand the points they are making, but this anime should ...

Dec 21, 2017 8igfan Recommended Reading reviews all over, seems like I'm one of the only people who seemed to like this to a degree. However, that was also because it was quite comedic and because I believed that the story had a lot of potential early on with the mystery and it was interesting to watch each episode to see what the next task is, who will die and how etc... One of the biggest problems this anime had is that they failed hardcore at being somewhat realistic. The logic for most episodes in this anime was completely lost on most of the characters who became hysterical, went overboard and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 9, 2017 nattez Recommended Preliminary (10/12 eps) Before im going to write my first reviews on this site, i want to say sorry for my bad grammar. For me, so far it's a good show. If you can understand and enjoying the show likes Mayoiga, Elfen Lied, Mirai Nikki or Another, then you can enjoying these show too. For me, the most ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 24, 2018 Dioguex Recommended Ousama game is an anime of horror and mystery, its story at the beginning is interesting but in the long run it becomes a bit strange, its characters do not stand out much, since the main character is the typical antisocial that something happened to him and he wants to save everyone his friends, his animation is not the worst, it seemed decent, his soundtrack is normal so there is nothing to highlight the same, people say he is not faithful to the manga, but I have not read it so no I can comment on this, but if the anime is not bad, you ...

Nov 30, 2017 erza74 Recommended Preliminary (12/12 eps) The show is not as good as the manga, nonetheless it is still a pretty decent show. This is horror anime, more specifically death game. I would recommend this if you like shows with a edgy or sinister plot. If you like watching other horror anime like "Re: Life in another world from zero" then you will probably enjoy this show. My only real problem with this show is the execution of the plot which is not very good unfortunately. The music and animation in this show are great especially the music. SIDE NOTE - The character art in this show is very nice especially the lighting effects ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2021 morimeme Recommended I have never written a review but seeing all the ones that give this anime a rating of 1 or 2 made me feel like vindicating it. While not a masterpiece, this anime was completey average and not below that by any means. As any, it had it's own poor parts and places that could have been improved upon and realised to the fullest potential but it also had it's redeemable parts. I did not feel like fanservice was included much if at all (apart from some characters having big boobs, but that's a given in the industry). The art and music - I'm not ...
