Just watched the 1st ep. Is this anime just going to be this? Like, is there anything driving the plot towards a less fucked up world or something? Or is it going to stay as despair porn? I’m not particularly excited about the prospect of people getting killed in despair every episode without a payoff
If there’s an overarching plot other than Yuki abusing her plot armor to reach 99 death games, it hasn’t shown up yet.
But the prospect of other surviving contestants appearing on later games to screw things up is intriguing.
Thanks, then I’m not gonna go further.
I already knew that Souta Ueno is someone to keep an eye on after seeing Gimai Seikatsu, and that was the main reason I gave this show a shot. With Shiboyugi he proves that he isn’t a one time wonder. I’ll definitely watch whatever he makes next
Just catching up, and this show’s title caught my eye.
As expected, this is survival horror suspense, with “how will she get out of this” moments of suspense.
An interesting theme is the “preservative” effect that turns the participants blood into something that looks like plushie stuffing, and conveniently immediately stops all bleeding.
So for example, a severed limb looks like it was ripped off a plush doll.

The inspiration is very much from the SaW movies.

The art style is very different, being light on the lines and heavy on textured surfaces, giving it a… cinematic feel?
If you liked Alice In Borderland, this is in the same kind of genre.
Done!
Enjoying the show so far, but I’m curious how the plot will progress. Feels like we’re still establishing characters.
“At just seventeen, Yuki is a professional death game player.”
Oh Japan, please do never change :)
To be fair, most of the participants appear to survive each game.
