UltraApr 5, 2022108 replies3.3K viewsPretty interesting. A lot happened in this episode and the ending left me confused and also curious so i'm looking forward to next weeks episode.
This show reminds me of a certain manga I read a long time ago called "Doubt"
Also, how did crunchyroll release it before Japanese broadcast?
CR are cheaters.
You could always read the manga, if you're confused. I'm on chapter 93; really good stuff
I don't plan on reading it as of now. Though If I end up enjoying the anime, I will read it after the anime finishes
It's very much worth it, but do enjoy!
Manga spoilers
_I just finished Cruise ship arc, So..
Do they kiss? or became a couple??
(Yuuchi and Sawaragi I mean)_
Nope
Will this be actually be good or will it be the typical edgy ass death game shit?
It's not a death game. But it is 10/10 perfection
I mean, it's just a Death Game with extra steps lol
No. It's not a death game. A death game is one where people die. This game is just for lifting debts
Pretty decent first episode, hopefully it doesn't turn out like Deadman Wonderland or Future Diary
0-0
:)
disappointing a solid manga gets another lackluster adaptation
in terms of animations or the way they're adapting the story? because other than some occasional inconsistencies with the animations, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting and it's pretty decent, considering the studio that's making this doesn't exactly have the best track record.
On the other hand, I haven't read the manga so I can't say much about the way they're adapting the story if that's what you're talking about. But since this is just the first episode, I think it's too soon to judge it.
it just doesn't capture the essence of the manga at all. if decent means 5-6/10 then yeah i agree
Not bad start, although it's hard to believe none of them quit right away. At least i don't see any violence as part of the game, although i wonder what will happen if they can't pay the debt.
Saw a lot of people saying the manga is top tier so I hope the anime lives up to it.
Although one thing that annoyed me ever since the first trailer dropped is how sometimes when narrating the mc does that "We thought things were going well... UNTIL THEY WEREN'T" meme
He did it twice on the first episode and I rolled my eyes both times lol hope this isn't reoccurring. Still, something very minor; seems interesting otherwise.
Honestly I'm really disappointed, especially since this first arch is the best part of the manga up until what I've read (currently on chapter 53). The anime is way to fast paced and fails to build up any tension I feel and there is almost no time for those watching to think the game through and try to figure things out. This is further added upon by the super basic directing choices, the camera angles were super basic and were just shot reverse shot over and over again. The soundtrack was ok but just felt like a bootleg Danganronpa and while the animation was ok as well (don't mid the CG), the facial expressions were really lacking compared to the manga.
I think you are really hitting the spot with the fast pace, the failure to build up tension and the lack of time to let the rules of the game sink for a damn second; and that squeaky kid cgi character delivering all the info is not helping either :/
Entertaining but it should have spent more time introducing the characters and how important the friends are to each other instead of rushing it in a 1/2-sec character description paragraph.
Just makes the conflict feel a bit hollow. Still, looking forward to seeing what's up and who's the one who landed him here. Also quite unnatural that the topic of 'who' was avoided just like that and EVERYBODY except Yuichi rolled along with it.
Yes, this was my big issue when I watched it. The show did not spend enough time showing me what the characters have to lose, which made me not feel the right kind of fear for them once things started happening.
pretty good for a first ep thought it would be bad
I'm cautiously optimistic about this one. Depending on how it portrays the psychological gamesmanship (as well as the atmosphere of the games), this could be a fun ride. The fact that silence is integral to the rules of the first game makes the silence being broken at the end a stronger moment of contrast, which served as a good segue into the cliffhanger.
Manabu-kun definitely stands out. Since he acts as the group's ringleader (even though we've evidently seen higher-ups monitoring the games), he stands apart from them both design-wise with his nauseating colors and the animation used to portray him. A CGI person / creature against the supposedly-crisp, clean 2D friendship between the five friends.
If I do have any gripes, it's just that as is something that often happens with first episodes, it jumps into things rather quickly and therefore leaves the exposition a little more stumbling than it needs to be. That said though, I'm hoping that the rest of the material pans out!
the CGI for him is pretty good actually, I like how jarring it is to see him move compared to the 2d charas
That white room and school uniforms reminded me of Euphoria(NSFW).
bro,
when the girl woke up, I thought the same thing...
fuck now it got serious
but then i got more relieved
and yes Euphoria in my opinion is horrible and disgusting...
OMG AS A DETECTIVE CONAN FAN WHEN THAT DOLL SAID "GAME OVER DAYO" IT GIVES ME HEAVY CONAN VIBES (same va btw)
Tomodachi game is one of my fave mangas, I'm excited a.f that he got an anime, and im glad you enjoyed the fst ch, also, be prepared, you will be more and more confued(in the good way), but thats the magic, also yuuichi is PEAK MC, and when the anime ends, YOU NEED to read the manga (if u start from the start 11/10, the art is awesome, and more with the facial expressions)
Yuuichi is my reason for living
MC seems like your average "bipolar-amnesic" edgy MC, if someone actually did steal those money then it's definitely him. So far this doesn't seem that interesting and wtf is that "friendship" between these characters, I think they've taken shits more meaningful than their friendship
Read the manga :|
But this is an ep1 discussion, not a manga discussion
I didn't discuss the manga :P
damn, the episode was so intense, liked it
Overall good first ep the concept is cool and drew me in with the psychological aspect of it cause it’s one of my favorite genres so I’m looking forward to seeing who was the culprit and the other twists that come with this series.
I like the School President chick; I hope they don't kill her off.
It's not a death game...
But there's a death game tag on the show
Not sure why. That should be removed
Great 1st episode! I liked it.
I'm getting Euphoria vibes <3
I hope we get an answer to this Lol
I was pretty hyped cuz I read most of the manga, but after watching the first ep I'm also kinda disappointed by the anime so far. Well I already saw it coming seeing the trailer's animation
The artstyle is not matching at all, camera angles are pretty bad, CGI Manabu looks scuffed, Tenji's hair looks like it is placed on top of his head, the expressions are rlly generic, it is too fast-paced, etc. Not to mention that the overall artstyle is the typical 5/10 Isekai artstyle
Hopefully they will at least animate the story well. I definitely recommend the manga as a 10/10 alternative tho
I am not a fan of the edgy game type anime, so well will this fare in my books?
It's not for you then. Please drop
Sed :(
do they show any tits?
Wtf no
no boobs or thighs?
meeh...and I'm waiting for Shiho to show something..
They do show, a lot of the times
They do, quite a lot actually. It’s because the author of Tomodachi Game, also made Dead Tube. A manga that gave a lot of people nightmares
bro,
I don't read dead tube but I thought it was shit
widespread violence with trivialized rape
it gets disgusting, like it's something common
I never ended up finishing dead tube because it was a bit too much for me at the time :c
Did you read the 93rd chapter? If yes,where did you get the scans from?
I’ve only seen the first 92 chapters. I haven’t read 93 and 94 yet, unfortunately.
My friend is supposed to be translating them this week, I think? Though
in this site im reading they've only got scans from 92 and we are still waiting for 93 to come out,
That's for all sites, I believe
Ye its pretty good the anime will probably cover the first 1-3 arcs of the series but I recommend everyone to choose whether or not they'll rea the manga before the anime because it is really good tbh and if you want to get a big surprise without knowing anything in advance, just watch the anime first and read the manga
Second this
so yeah, with extra steps
If you subtract the death part, then Ig
with LESS STEPS*
From my understanding just by episode 1, it doesn't appear to be a death game though I can't say for sure later on. As for your other question, only time will tell whether it's good or not
dont know, but the manga's rating is above average
I want to know if there are titties and thighs
the character Sawaragi Shiho looks like she has a nice and big plot under her clothes
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
gatekeeping is morally correct
[Removed]
that doesnt make you funny at all
something’s wrong with u
Maybe think with your upper brain for once too...
That's often the issue with most adaptations, unless it's done by a really good studio and staff
Though as an anime only, I enjoyed it and i'm hooked to this now
Bro its one episode (20 minutes) and you are already saying its a solid manga that gets a lackluster adaptation and a "5-6/10" bro its been one whole episode LOL
I kinda agree with him, character face proportions could have been way better (like in manga), here they look way too generic
Its fine to have that opinion but you cant immediately call it terrible when only one episode is out, give it a bit before immediately jumping to conclusions of how it will turn out. It could turn out bad or be surprisingly good by the end. Production isnt all when it comes to a show
Didn't call it terrible. that aside it's not going to improve. i already know the story (which is good). and it makes no sense for the entire style and production to get better after the first episode.
Yeah but my opinion was strictly about ep1. i didn't generalise (the story), maybe it's good, idfk
Then I don't think bipolar applies here. What you saw could've just been from stress, and the events and his thinking before implies that.
That's why i said "Seems like" not is :P
could've just been from stress
but! but! it could be a personality disorder as well, right? I don't know yet since It's only one ep in and i'm not a manga reader. like i said it was just my opinion
Mild spoiler :
Nah, he didn't steal the money.
I mean, Manabu already stated Yuuichi didn't
Ya but the other guy has some problem understanding it
Thanks! I'm looking forward to see how the story turns out.
These first few episodes will be peak. I'm hoping the studio doesn't kill everyone's enjoyment, by rushing it.
Good luck though!
