The series is very worthwhile watch however if you’re looking for escapism this isn’t it. The depiction of humanity is very accurate albeit depressing but unfortunately that’s how the truth is.

The first episode starts out with some lowbrow comedic elements but advances quickly after a few episodes to more serious tone but then it takes dark turn I wasn’t expecting. Even though the series doesn’t have graphic depiction of the dark turn, it shows the aftermath which was somehow massively worse.

The character Sara experiences the most development though the series and has a highlight of courage at one point which makes her likable and the ... only character worthy of emotional investment, but unfortunately it ends with her being manipulated by the cowards again. In the end she made the wrong the choice and will suffer greatly.

The main character Shu is a coward and a monster at the same time he’s always forcing his delusional ideology onto others and is the root cause for death and the suffering of others throughout the series. He’s also complete failure at kendo probably never passed 1st kyu but thinks he’s a master swordsman with his magic stick that is a bit of plot hole. I would assume he suffered massive brain trauma at some point in life to become like that.

I despise him, I was praying for his death and still am.

Short and limited review for a few interesting points, not looking to spoil anything overall. The story does have a slow start and didn’t really get going till around episode 4-5 for me.

Tasuuketsu Is a death game themed show, the story follows a group teaming up in the death game to find and stop the creator with various hurdles along the way. It has some aspects similar to Btoom or Future diary but less on screen violence but it’s still there.
While being a death game simply killing each other indiscriminately isn’t the initial goal. The participants must find terminals to submit questions to the ... emperor, who will then pick a question to tally the responses of yes or no based on the factual truth and then one side is not so lucky afterwards.

Features godlike abilities that can be gained called “prime rights” but they require a sacrifice of varying sorts to gain them. Then there are “rights” which while useful are not comparable to prime rights and do not require a sacrifice.

The show does a good job of building suspense between episodes along with the many plot twists.
