Guys do you think that this series is going to have some or deaths or gore?
Cause up to episode 4 we haven't got anything like that yet and this is rated 17+.
Honestly i expected something else.

I expected a bit more as well.

I don't think we will get 'real' deaths or gore. Something will probably happen to the LRIGs and their Girls after the 3rd loss... I mean - there has to be a reason why they are called LRIG (Girl backwards). And I also believe that Ruko will pretty much go crazy. She seems to think too much and overdramatize things. All speculation of course.

I will watch till the end, because I still believe ther will be some unexpected, dark reveals. However, I am not as hooked as I hoped I would be. Sadly, some scenes just felt unneccessary - like, they wouldn't contribute anything to the story other than wasting my time.

Let's hope the second half will be awesome :) I am not expecting something big in the next episode.

This is an anime promoting a real kids card game. I don't know why anyone is expecting this to get all dark.

I'm actually pretty surprised that there's an actual card game for this since the series doesn't at all feel like it's trying to advertise said game.

I mean, they haven't explained a single rule or showed us a single card outside of the magic ones. So I don't really see how this series is promoting the card game at all?

Maybe they want to make an actual anime by adapting the cards without actually making it like a promotional anime and focusing solely on the storyline

Unless you have data to back this up, I would advice not posting such things.

Alright, this might get a little complicated, so pay attention.

The show does not make silverwalls want to play the game.
The show does not spend much any time on the game.
The show does not give the slightest hint about how the game is played.

Based on this highly technical cross-sectional regression analysis of the data at hand, we can conclude Selector Infected Macross fails at advertising the game.

I don't think there's going to be much deaths and gore, but maybe some "worse than death" kind of things.
If what happened to Hitoe is just a small taste, then that wouldn't be so unlikely.

If she really goes berserk and/or there's going to be fights in that world as shown in her dreams,
then the rating might also be because of something later on in the series.
It depends on where they got that rating from.

To be honest, it doesn't really feel cardgame based at all.
Even though they actually released a cardgame they haven't really done anything to actually advertise it, you know, in the usual manner.
Instead it is more like they use the game to drive the plot forward, and not the other way around.

It'll probably have the same effect as what the other game anime's do, but at least their target
audience seems to be (alot) older (if that age-rating is real, then that much is obviously true).

ilu and your post

I'm actually pree enjoying it! I wouldn't say it's near a madoka level but i wouldn't call it a happy go lucky series. something doesn't need blood and gore to be at least slightly dark~

I feel that it's getting darker by the episode, especially after what happened to Hitoe, who is likely to commit suicide (well, I hope she doesn't and Ru-chan comes up with a way to rescue her from despair).

Here's the "dark" surrounding the characters.



If this is not dark to you, then you have a different definition of "dark." I'm personally enjoying this show.

for me gore and death's not enough reason to be considered as dark

and that why all shity Shōnen will never be dark for me even there a lot gore and death

actually sometimes, "death's" considered as help characters to rest

u don't need gore or death's to have dark Content , all u need is psychological aspect

psychological aspect can give u any impact without need for death's or gore

Gore doesn't mean dark.

School days has a gore. It doesn't make it "dark".

Dark means twists, sufferings and tragedy.

I agree with that definition.
The word "dark" is often used for a big part of the horror genre, but that definition sort of sums it up.

Darker than Black!
Overall the anime is turning into something really dark which is different from gory/bloody/shocking.
Dark is more about the atmosphere and how you perceive the characters and the events.
I think it will only play on the psychological side of things without having anyone really dying.
