Trillion Game

After socially awkward technology specialist Manabu "Gaku" Taira is saved from thugs by the outgoing Haru Tennouji, the two men find that they get along with each other well. Years later, Gaku, who is having a tough time getting a job due to his timidness, is convinced by Haru to apply for a position alongside him at Dragon Bank, one of Japan's largest IT companies.

During their interviews, the company's board director, Kirika Kokuryuu, takes an interest in Haru and Gaku's contrasting personalities. However, Gaku does not get hired by the company, leading Haru to quit the job on his first day in protest. Nevertheless, they decide to embark on an ambitious plan of making a trillion dollars.

In order for their scheme to come to fruition, Haru and Gaku start looking for potential investors, but everyone rejects their extravagant idea. In spite of that, the two soon find themselves getting an offer from Kirika—and with her investment, they might just be able to reach their goal.

Imagine this like an anime adaptation of Shark Tank. Two guys with complementary skills, the techie and the popular, join together to start a company about... well, they don't know themselves, but they find out on their way, right?

This anime does a great job of portraying business situations and startup life, and goes pretty realistic except for some comedy moments and exaggerations.

This show is for you if either of the below apply to you:
- you love businesses and entrepreneurship
- you want to see people that grind for their dreams, working hard no matter what
- you enjoy seeing well-developed adult characters interacting in business settings
- ... you're looking for a story that's slice of life, comedy and yet still action packed at the same time

The story is captivating and well-paced, sometimes serious, but most of the times quite light-hearted
The characters are decently developed, although nothing too deep
The animation is good, but not top tier

Title: Trillion Game
Genre: Drama, Slice of Life, Business, Strategy
Studio: Madhouse
Episodes: 12
Aired: Fall 2024

"Trillion Game" follows the unlikely partnership between a tech-savvy nerd and a reckless, ambitious risk-taker as they team up with a single goal: to build the wealthiest company in the world. It's a classic story of climbing from the bottom to the top, full of politics, strategy, and a bit of luck—because no epic rise happens without some fortune falling into place!

There is always one Anime that is the dark horse for the season; this is the one for me!!!

... The Setup:
The anime showcases their journey, which is full of the struggles and schemes typical of up-and-coming startups. Think of it as an anime version of the best tech-drama TV series, with characters with their quirks and ambitions. The nerd brings the brains and the know-how, while the risk-taker supplies the bold moves and charisma, creating a dynamic partnership that keeps you rooting for them, even when their plans don't always go smoothly.

First Impressions:
Trillion Game stands out for its story and unconventional art style that stays true to the manga. I'll be honest—95% of anime fans might dismiss it based on the visuals, but if you can get past the style, there's something surprisingly captivating here. The story's mix of ambition, strategy, and luck has slowly made this one of my favorites this season, and I didn't even see that coming!

Why You Should Watch:
If you're into series that focus on the grind of building something extraordinary from the ground up, this anime has that energy in spades. It's not all about flashy battles or epic fantasy worlds; it's a grounded and realistic take on the world of startups with characters you can invest in. Plus, there's a sense of authenticity in how it portrays the tech industry and the struggles of entrepreneurship, making it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys an intelligent, strategy-focused story.

Final Thoughts:
"Trillion Game" is one of those shows that might slip under the radar for most anime fans, but if you give it a chance, it's worth the watch. The art style might be a hurdle at first, but the show has a lot to offer once you get over that. Each episode is a new step in their journey, and it's been a blast watching them hustle, scheme, and climb to the top. If you're looking for something different this season, try this one—you might be as surprised as I was!
