Jan 4, 2020 MyWaifuIsmylaifu Recommended Funny King's game is by far one of the best anime that has been released in the last 10 years. For true anime fans who watch this instant classic, they know for sure that King's game is a defining step forward for the genre. For a long time, many anime like my hero academia have been claimed to have taken this title. But, these anime have been nothing but shallow stories for children. While King's game takes anime BACK to it's roots and delivers a mature story with well written and deep character. King's game also covers very mature themes including death (obviously), sex and rape, young ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 4, 2017 ProfoundBaka Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) Okay, I had to make an account just to write a review for this. The other reviews I read seemed to miss the mark, and in my opinion come from pretty naive point of views. To me the worst part of this show is the animation and the sound, but it certainly isn't as bad as what haoliners has given us. I find it to be pretty tolerable, and considering animators in Japan are known to be severely under paid, I can certainly forgive it and proceed forward into what other qualities the anime has to offer. But if this is critical to your enjoyment, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 21, 2017 AndoCommando Not Recommended Survival anime are nothing new when looking back over the last few years. Shows such as Btooom!, Danganropa and Mirai Nikki are all based around a particular survival game and have all found moderate to massive popularity among anime fans. Even outside of anime, you just have to look at franchises like The Hunger Games and Maze Runner to see how successful the subgenre is. It’s clear that stories based around a group of characters, their impending doom and how they try to survive such are intriguing to a lot of people. But why is that? Personally, I believe these kinds of premises can present ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 7, 2017 Danae Not Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) Do you value your free time? Do you consider yourself of average intelligence? If the answer is yes to both questions, then you should stay away from Ousama Game. I usually abstain from writing reviews, even more so for incomplete anime, but I thought I should warn any person who might be in false hopes that this anime could be good because it has Miyano Mamoru’s name attached, just like my naive past self. This anime is basically about a classroom that starts receiving orders from a self-proclaimed King via texts. If they don’t obey these orders then the King punishes them, usually with death. ...

Nov 9, 2017 cookies0 Not Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) Don't watch this anime if you can't laugh at how bad it is. The only joy you will get out of this is seeing how bad an anime can get, nothing else. Regarding the technical aspects. The art style is acceptable, but the facial expressions can be very ridiculous, and the gore scenes are over-the-top. The animation is just plain ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 21, 2017 Stark700 Not Recommended 2017 has been an underwhelming year for fanatics of horror and survival based anime. Taking a close look at the lineups, there were barely any at all and the only ones we’ve got were short series that were easily forgettable. Where does Ousama Game position itself on the board? Terrible doesn’t even begin to describe what this anime turned out to be. Ousama Game is a primal example of how desperately an anime tries to get viewers to appreciate. It’s a catastrophe that self-destructed from the very start that the meme of “so bad, it’s good” doesn’t even come to close to describe what it ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 10, 2017 shi_na Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) For you guys who value morality or only like animes for their cuteness and for fun purpose, you guys should stay away from this one. IT'S NOT FOR YOU GUYS. This anime would be well-received by people who like one of the following genres: thriller, mystery, tragedy, psychological or who like anime like Higurashi, Mirai Nikki, Danganroppa or Elfen Lied. This anime is really outstanding personally speaking, from the first episode up to sixth which I've watched I can't wait for the next episode to come out since it was just too good. The story starts off with some kind of reminiscence or stuff about MC with ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 23, 2017 HeavenlyControl Mixed Feelings Funny This anime is absolute garbage, but it's one of those shows that's so bad its good. I have never laughed at so much absurdity in my life. If you like final destination this anime is perfect for you. The plot sucks, the logic makes no sense, and in the end you have twice as many questions and no answers. The ending is stupid. It's all stupid. And I regret none of it. If you need a show to make fun of, this is the anime to do it. Despite this being one of the worst anime I've ever seen, it was one of the most ...

Dec 21, 2017 thepath Recommended Preliminary (11/12 eps) I personally found this anime very enjoyable. If you enjoy watching people brutally killed, suffer, break their fingers, forced to have sex, extreme drama and female character with evil/sadistic personality, then this is the right anime for you. For me this anime proves that you don't always need those "well written anime" to enjoy it. A lot of haters here are just judging anime based how well written the story and how much plot holes or because some character act stupidly in some situation. Those haters start analyzing the this anime as if it is Shakespeare story book or some kind of scientific journal. I don't ... Read more Open Gift Report

Nov 10, 2017 RMDragon Not Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) I never write reviews, but this is the worst anime I have ever seen and I believe that I should warn people not to watch it. One of the problems it has is the fact that all of its characters are completely forgettable. I am on the 6th episode and lots of people have died. However, I could only tell you something about 2 or 3 of them. Another problem is the fact that a lot of the characters die in the same or the next episode in which they are introduced (or get a bit of focus). This does not only mean that it is ...

Nov 12, 2017 Sinfulyte Not Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) This.. This animation is possibly one of the most horrendous things I've seen in a while. It surprises me to how it's even above a 5 on MAL, considering the disgusting amounts of tropes, and generic development, not to mention the completely mindless protagonist that just doesn't fit in the genre it's marketing. Watching the first couple episodes with friends, I've seen all I needed to decide that this is possibly one of the lowest of the low, during this season; hell, for the past 4-5 seasons. I'll summarize this piece at the bottom, and for those avid and mindful readers; I'll throw in a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 20, 2018 Kaiki-Deishuu Recommended Stunning. This show is the breath of fresh air the anime industry needed. Never before have I seen a show go to such lengths to cover its bases. The voice acting, music production, even the screen lighting is some of the most top notch work I've seen in a very long time. A few weeks back, I mentioned in an article that I had started Ousama Game over a decade ago and dropped it because it bored me. To anime fans, this is about the same as saying, “I really love the Bible but I am not keen on this whole God character.” Boy ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 14, 2018 Rin-sama23 Not Recommended Okay so I'm only giving this a 1 because that's the lowest score available. This is the first time ever I'm writing a review and I thought I just HAD to after miraculously finishing this pile of shit. I hope my review can save people from wasting their time on watching this. before this came out, the summary seemed promising, I was pretty excited, but the more I watched the more disappointed I got, by the 4th episode I completely lost hope that they will make anything good out of this, and it just kept getting worse afterwards. they just gathered up a bunch of characters ...

Nov 22, 2017 tenshibeat Not Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) I dropped this series after four episodes, and if you watch the series, I hope you can see why. This anime is a major insult to the horror anime genre. The concept of the story, a "king" assigning tasks or else face death sounds really good in theory, but in practice, is not the case. The story was executed so poorly, with so many plotholes appearing; it's just unbearable. All we see is just more boring content. There are also way too many flashbacks. This anime is based off of the second manga, Ousama Game: Shuukyoku, however, literally splices half of the first manga into it. They ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 16, 2024 Nitrofire11111 Recommended Preliminary (6/12 eps) This show changed my life. I have gained a new perspective on life after watching this show. I never knew how fortunate I am to be born during this generation when masterpieces like this are being produced. 10/10 watch, would watch again 100 times. For 10 years at least!!! Yes, "Ousama Game: The Animation" is an anime adaptation of the Japanese mystery horror novel "Ousama Game" written by Nobuaki Kanazawa. The anime follows a high school class that becomes involved in a deadly game orchestrated by a mysterious entity known as the "King." Each student receives orders via text message from the King, ...
