Ok, ok, things are setting up. Very considerate of Eight to not attack till night, letting "heroes" rest. I also like team being set up, it's kinda cheap to have external threat to unite our group but I am not against that plot device, if it works. Currently I like all guys setting up, just two thing bothering me, little girl in opening and not at episode (and little boy? are they twins or one pretending to be another, they got me confused a bit) are both going to be in team or just one? And Florist, he isn't part of group in opening, right? Is he gonna betray them? Or just part with them? Or die? I like him, even though he is probably op for future episodes, but i hope no betrayal from him, I like friends staying friends.

Anyway, episode finally answered something I am wondering since episode two. How many guns is Kaname stockpiling with his Sigil. Apparently, they disappear... bummer.

One dimensional personality, boring looks, unrealistic behavior. Give me one reason why I should care about any of them.

Let's not talk about the plot because there is none. It's just an excuse to have a battle royal situation. I tried to like this but it's just really generic, bad, edgy shounen.

Mirai Nikki at least had intensity and good animation.

This anime got a score of 7.5?
People's standard for anime really went down the drain huh?
I really don't get this show.Why isn't the show labelled as supernatural?There is a character who can predict space time and A character who grows tree out of nowhere.The show doesn't even try to explain its premise.The show portrays that the entire Shibuya is abandoned ny the civilians for their battle royale.Who the frick you do that?Is this some kind of magic,some kind of mind control??There's a company backing this game?How do you explain this inhumane stuff?what the frick?The show is nothing but sorry excuse for an edgy battle royale.Every episodes puts more questions instead of answering some?
Who the frick made the OP for the show?If we know who the allies are from the beginning then what's the point of creating tension between the said characters.Half of the series is over and it feels pointless to me.


What about universe where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? Right answer is don't think about it.

Anyway, it's about game and it's anime, I am here just enjoying kind of tense theater, I weren't expecting any Violet Evergarden when deciding to watch this.

I like the florist guy, he has a pretty nice ass. Too bad he's probably going to die because he doesn't appear in the OP and we already got his sad backstory :')

Idk you guys but lie-detector doesn't sound that bad. It's an easy way to get allies without the risk of betrayal.

I’m sorry but what’s the point in giving him an incredibly good power if it’s just gonna end up being useless most of the time???? Like he hasn’t even tried creating anything different why didn’t he at least try creating an oxygen mask when he went swimming?????
But the OST was actually really good this episode


(And also as soon as they were talking about gems my first think was houseki no kuni lol)
He can only create things that he touches. I doubt that he had the time to touch an oxygen mask when he entered the game!

Am I the only one who sees Kotomine Kirei in Ryuuji's character?

Man, this episode was so goddamn boring. The strategy dialogues could have been handled in a more practical way and honestly, Kaname deciding to give rings to the guys we won't see again and who tried to kill him kinda pissed me off.

And by the way, so Kaname can't create the rings because they're complex, uh?... hope they can give a better explanation for this because although they don't seem to be just metal and jewelry, I don't think their composition can be more complex than the one of a machine gun or a grenade.

Very slow episode, not much to say. This is one of my favorite airing this season, so I'll probably have to let it build up!

Kind of annoying how the OP spoils that the water kid is going to join the party.
But for as little hype this show has, I think it's pretty good. You don't need an interesting MC when the setting is this edgy. I doubt it could compete with half of the shows from last year, but I'm still somewhat excited when I see a new episode out.


Yeah it is annoying how the OP reveals details like that . They did the same things with the big gun guy (don't remember his name)

I watch seasonal shows weekly. I'm fine with it. But some anime excites me so much that I read the manga like Promise Neverland, I want to read the manga of Darwin's game too but I can't appreciate the manga version of this.. I like the anime more so I will wait now.

I can't believe that this show is doing this good and the studio has only less then 15 people working on it! That does explain the recap episode though.

Hey, its a good twist about the rings and the game, +1 here.

There're still cringe stuff in this episode: the generic psycho kid, Shuka being an idiot falling into that obvious trap and Eight not attacking till night or when half of the "good" guys are not taking care of the rings in the hotel.

Did they make any subtle change in the ill-advised recap? It sounded very weird how in this episode they talked about how Kaname can make copies of objects, when that's never been referenced before. As far as we knew until last episode, he could create weapons, not specifically copy them.

Also, are the numbers to be summed up in order and they give coordinates for a location? This one of the first theories that came to mind when the QR code showed numbers. I hate QR codes, by the way.


He copied and recreated the nurse's pen in ep 1.

Thanks for reminding me of the pen. I had totally forgotten about it. However, in my opinion, it doesn't explain why in the episode this sigil has been defined as the power to specifically copy objects, instead of just make creating them. It's also a wrong definition, since he also modified a weapon during a fight, which definitely means that the power is not about copying.

I hope I'm not spoiling anything. I'm really aware if the referred capability has already been displayed or it's in a later episode. I've watched all the episodes available and my memory isn't good enough to tell what is in what episode. Sorry if I spoiled anything.

Like most people, I thought the first half wasn't the best. But it got interesting towards the end. Something I'm noticing tho is that every episode is kinda the same thing, no big/big feeling thing is happening(besides the gunsmith part which was pretty legit).

Damn did Shuka survived that one? and i think the little girl is the sister of the one that has the ice sigil since they have the same hoodie.

So the guy behind the mask was the long-haired person I kept seeing in the opening. Cool. The main members of the cast were assembled rather conveniently. They're popping up one after another lol.

Shuka's an idiot for confining herself underground. She's an A ranker but her actions make no sense. Moreover, shouldn't Shuka be dead from drowning by now? There isn't such thing as having a lung capacity that holds out for 5 minutes underwater.

Kaname got a lot of trust while sleeping, he could have been easily betrayed there if it wasn't for them going against some infamous guy and his clan.
I really wonder if Shuka actually is A-rank level player or if she just has a lot of bad luck in recent fights.
I suspect the water/ice kid to have different personalities or perhaps because controlling both ice and water seems a bit too OP for this game.

Snipers are no big deal to Shuka, she's just taking it easy lol.
Well he's desperate to save her. And why is the other guy running after the kid lol.
And the rings are probably not the real treasures..

Skull guy is like a budget punisher. Wow those phones that work underwater are pretty nifty right. Also why didn’t he just turn the water into ice while Shuka was inside it. Some of this really doesn’t make sense but nvm I guess. A bit of a slow episode perhaps that kid is bipolar. I didn’t like Shuka at first but Kaname better save her now.

Imagine collecting 3 rings, having to deal with all this insane people and trying to survive, and then you die anyway because that wasn't even what the true goal was. Rude.

Also, I'm tired of Netflix tagging this with nudity when there is none...

So their strategy is to defend the hotel until the event is over, but Loli Analyst decides to just give three rings to the other soldiers and let them leave knowing the crazy gang is going to come for them? I guess those other soldiers are just equivalent to NPCs they don't want to spend time in developing characters for.

I remember Netflix yanked this off their service over a year ago when I first watched it, and I never got to completing the series.

Honestly I don't think this anime is super memorable as I really struggled to remember almost anything about this anime (besides the self explanatory death game stuff). Hopefully I get around to finishing it one day.
