Ousama Game The Animation

It can be rough transferring to a new school—even more so if you don't want to make any friends, like Nobuaki Kanazawa. But the reason for his antisocial behavior soon becomes clear when his class receives a text from someone called "The King." Included are instructions for the "King's Game," and all class members must participate. Those who refuse to play, quit halfway, or don't follow an order in the allotted time of 24 hours will receive a deadly punishment.

Having played the game before and watched as those around him died, Nobuaki tries to warn his clueless classmates. Unfortunately, they only believe him after the King's Game claims its first casualties. Stuck in a horrific situation with no chance of escape, Nobuaki has a choice: put his own survival above those around him, or do what he couldn't before and save his classmates.

King's Game is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. This anime is so bad that it's good, the best way to enjoy this is to get some friends together so you can make jokes at King's Games expense. The twists are so hilariously predictable, and the way side characters will switch up out of nowhere and for no reason other than to make our main character more tragic is so funny. Characters will do bad things and no one will care, but if the main character, Nobuaki, does it everyone will start beating him up. But don't think that when a character ends up disrespecting ... Nobuki they won't get punished, because they'll die the worst death imaginable. Those death scenes are so over-dramatic that they end up being funny.
Kenta is the best character, he is Nobuaki's yes man. If Nobuaki told him that Santa was real he would believe it, and if Nobuaki told him to jump off a cliff he would do it without a second thought. But my favorite thing about Kenta is that he wasn't even friends with Nobuaki he just started doing this because the plot needed him to do it.
Everyone in this anime has to end up in a relationship and make stupid sacrifices. They think that if a character dies a martyr with a girlfriend the viewers will suddenly care about a character that had less than 10 minutes of screen time. Characters will go psychotic out of nowhere to try and raise tension, then a crappy inspirational speech will make them return to being normal again. The mangaka definitely made the king give out certain orders to shoehorn in some fan service.
The only thing about this anime that isn't so bad it's funny is that it's kinda hard to follow in the first quarter because it keeps showing us flashbacks. Everyone looks the same so it can be kinda confusing if you aren't fully paying attention.

Mixed Feelings

Such a let down. The concept was great and this could have been good but the biggest problem in my opinion was the characters. The protagonist was very annoying. He was very corny, and if he knew how to talk to people he wouldn't have to play the crappy savior by himself.
The antagonist, they weren't a problem, they did a good job of making me dislike them, BUT the way the other characters react to the antagonist actions was very dumb and not realistic. People are not gonna just sit there and watch someone do evil things right in front of them, especially when ... it affects them. Example (this didn't happen in the anime) bad person tells my friend to jump off a cliff because they are a loser, I'm not gonna just sit there and watch my friend jump off the cliff with out trying to physically stop him. The fact that no one tried to stop the antagonist from doing anything that seemed suspicious after the third time the antagonist did something bad was so unrealistic.
There were many instances were i almost dropped this anime. There's this one scene where one character just completely breaks for the tiniest reason, didn't make sense. They were a character that i really thought was going to finally stand up to the protagonist, but no. I really wanted to like this anime because the concept was cool but i honestly think all the characters were written poorly.

Would i recommend it? probably not, but if you want to watch something just to have something to complain about, then go for it.

TLDR: An abomination that is worth to prank a friend to watch

To this day I can't believe I finished this shit not gonna lie

Story 1/10
The story is basically about a class of each student that has faced with a mysterious demand from their phone and if they don't fulfill it they die. At first the demand is much simpler and easy however as time goes on the demand gets more explicit and harder. It sounds very interesting in concept, but the execution of this anime is everything that is poorly portrayed and the logic behind every reason makes you question everything as most decisions don't ... make sense.

Characters 1/10
The characters are badly shown in this anime. Most characters in this anime have a personality that makes no sense as most of the character shown here acts like pure idiots who knows nothing or just straight up change personality without any explanation. For example, a girl kills another girl and the whole group acts like nothing has happened and start to discuss the matters with the girl that killed another girl without expressing the right adequate reason in the scenario.

Animation 7/10
Now, this is the only part of the anime that is good. The animation has at least a redeeming quality and is not that bad and it at least fits to the quality compared to other animes at that time.

Conclusion
You may think it should've been a higher score since the animation is a 7, but trust me this is not worth watching. The story has an interesting setting, but most of the time the story doesn't make any sense which affect the character as well because the characters also don't make sense on it's own and pure logic behind every motive is poorly portrayed.
