Episode 1's out. Why doesn't this have a thread yet? Is Liar Game not popular on /a/ or something?
Manga goes to shit, adaptation looks like shit.
>>287291711/a/ just doesn't really watch new anime anymore, just old multiday generals for ancient shows like yuyushiki, gup, hidamari, gochishit, etc. instead.That said I think I'll be waiting for all of Liar Game to be out before watching it.
>>287291711no subs = no thread
The first few episodes will be great.Watch until 5ish then drop forever.
>>287291770>just old multiday generals for ancient shows like yuyushiki, gup, hidamari, gochishit, etc. insteadHow did those shows manage to persist in /a/'s memory, but Dou's show didn't?
>>287291711Is it worth watching knowing how shit the ending is? I'll be real witchu, I never even read any of it but I was spoiled on the retardmaxxed ending. Why adapt it after that? What's the point?
>>287291994No spoilers here, please. Anime watching anons will decide whether the ending sucks for themselves.
Subs aren't out on the sites I checked.Ending was disappointing so that'll hurt.>>287291994Some of the early games are pretty good. And Musical chairs is 10/10.
>>287292027I won't spoil it then but bro there's no way someone can see it and not consider it retarded. It's that bad.
Not a very strong start for all the hype, but then that's how the manga goes. It needs a Kaiji narrator yelling at you how kuyashi everything is.Wait 3 episodes for real games to start and John Liar blasting fools with his 2000iq.Mc pair got good cast, I wonder who will be Fukunaga.
No one subbing this
>>287291711>>287291770There's no subs yet. that's the only reason
>>287291711>Is Liar Game not popular on /a/ or somethingNo.
>yet another liar game anime
>>287291849We need to make joke subs a thing again
>>287291994Yes, it's easy to enjoy the games while ignoring the plot.
torrent doko
>>287291994People read Berserk, Hunter x Hunter, Tokyo Ghoul, Nazo no Kanojo X, Sometimes, despite having a really bad, tragic ending, or sometimes not even reaching that point, it's decent enough to enjoy it anyway. Sometimes what's important it's not the destination, but the journeyThat being said, if you don't like things like One Outs! or Kaiji, you're gonna despise this fucking showAlso, retarded shipfags will starve with this one, there is no romance nor teasing, only mindgames
>>287292196They are though? Both Pon no Michi and Princession had joke subs.
>>287291994The retarded ending was literally just the last chapter iirc, everything up to that is good to great.
Subs any second now
>[SubsPlease] LIAR GAME - 01 (1080p) [952605A0].mkv
>>287291994>Why adapt it after that? What's the point?this is a test to see if they will adapt usogui, the real peak
Will it also have comically stretched wicked smiles?
>>287292530
Wow didn't expect them to use Kanye West - Stronger as the ED theme but I dig it
>>287292718kino
>>287292631EVEN WIDER
>>287291711If I enjoyed Usogui, will I enjoy this one?
It's a really infantile story that only impresses youngsters.
Agreed, kinda like death parade.
Damn you really forget how retarded Nao is at start
I don't like the art style
There's like zero chance but I hope they adapt the rest of One Outs some day
>>287293066One Outs is a billion times more fun than Liars Game, so that means it'll never happen.
>>287292818it's not as good but it's ok>>287293066same
Wow the thread isn't looking very positiveThat said, my mondays are kind of bare so I'll give it a shot
>>287292500How do I look this up?
>>287293516i watched it on animepahe
>>287293516>>287293526Newfags. Just look up "Liar Game SubsPlease" on nyaa.
This plot is nonsense. You can't just send someone money and then claim they're in debt.
>>287293615kek. Is that what they do? Looks like I'm in for a ride.
>>287293615Its manga was the inspiration for Squid Game, and they sent a lot of money, so you can expect that there are powerful people behind this.
>>287293615It's just a game bro.
>>287293615why not?
>>287293615Anon it's like those bank errrors where it says you suddenly have 1 million dollars. But you don't so if you spend it they bank will come for your ass.
>>287293526Thanks, but why does it not have an opening?Did the episode not have one?
>>287293615>get package>didn't order anything>not expecting anything>actually opening it and not just throwing it awayIt's like those retards that answer the door when they're not expecting company or a delivery
>>287293516lurk for 3 years before posting
>>287293823>huh? why is there no discussiong for this anime?
This is way too overdramatized and simplistic for me to take seriously. Does it get better later?
>YapouTube
>>287293951It's just the first game.Later games will be more complex, especially the final one this season.
>>287293951Yes, the setup is rather bland. But the games are entertaining.
Watched episode 1, boring.Cool op/ed tho
>>287291711I've waited a literal decade for the manga to get an adaptation.
Did they give the anime staff Nao's entire winnings of negative 100 million yen or something? This looks like it had no budget at all and the (lack of a) soundtrack to go with it.
>>287294132It's not an action anime, it doesn't need much animation.
am i having a deja vu of something similar i watched a long long time ago? is it tomodachi game?
>>287293846The first episode threads for other shows that hit bump limit weren't full of tutorials for how to use nyaa, so I don't think that's the reason.
>>287294146Look at that face in >>287293406, she looks like an umamusume gone wrong with that horse face
>>287294149Probably, Tomodachi game had a similar initial premise but they differ wildly after the first bit.
>>287291994Much like Raging Loop, the games themselves are the fun part, the ending is just an afterthought.
>>287294132The entire animation team is Korean, including the animation directors, so that's possible.
>>287293615You can build an entire corporation on that in Japan.
PSA: Don't get filtered by the early arcs, or you'll miss the real keikaku battles.
Will they have the troon in the anime? Need some more futa r34
>>287291769Are you a Debby downer for everything?>>287291994I doubt it will adapt the while manga in one season
>>287294320I'd assume so as he's a major supporting character.
>>287294320>will the anime include its tritagonist?
>>287294132They have sufficient budget for 24 episodes
They changed the talk scene from train in the manga to bridge. Maybe they'll change other things. Maybe they'll change the ending.
Why didn't they include the most important line?
>>287294422>Maybe they'll change the ending.I seriously fucking hope so
>>287294344>>287294343I know. I just wanted to talk about girlcock
>>287294461>gakkouHold up, did they deage her?
>>287294531I mean daigakkou is still a gakkou, no?
>>287294461Is he wrong, though? Why is reminding her of her (young) female privilege treated as such a horrible thing? That old man can't sell himself to make money like she can.
>>287291711we all read it like 20 years ago
They covered exactly chapters 1 and 2, which have 50+32 = 82 pages, though they removed the (very short) parts about her not having college friends, and where she texts old high school friends for advice.The next 4 chapters (the end of this first game) have 21 + 19 + 23 + 33 = 96 pages.Could they realistically jam it all in the next episode?
This woman must be the dumbest bitch that ever lived.
now the real question. is there a mahjong arc. every good gambling anime/manga has at least a mahjong arc.
>>287294823I love her and her honesty, I wanna marry her
>>287294840They have a Romance of the FOUR Kingdoms, does that count?
>>287294840No but the author did do a mahjong manga that's pretty decent
>>287294694First cour is rounds 1-3.Second cour is round 3.Makes the most sense, in Kaiji they paced 1 game for the whole season.
>>287294900>1-3I mean 1-2.
>>28729171120 years too late
Is he in on it, or actually retarded? There is no way that what happened would constitute a valid contract, so there's no legal basis for the Liar Game people to get the 100 million from Nao. And if this is a criminal enterprise, the police are the exact people you want to go to
>>287294956>>287294676The ending might get fixed.
>>287294980I think he's in on it, he was sweating when he told her not to go to the police.
>>287295015Same, it felt like he was actively trying to get her to participate.
Chapter two of the new sequel manga when?
>>287294454She told a lie...
>>287291711>PLEASEWATCHMYTRANNYSHOWnah
>>287295097>new sequel manga???
Honestly I was expecting better, this feels like Kaiji if it was written by a 16 years old. Are the games fun at least?
>>287295366Dude it's just the first game (which will end in an episode or two).At least wait until the second one.
>>287295351https://mangadex.org/title/fb20bca7-131b-479d-a8d9-56b95c801f21/liar-game-the-last-game
Chances of this being a full adaption?
>>287295366No. Watch mature anime instead.
>>287295401100/100Trailer showed up to game 3
>>287295397oh wow, amazing, thx
>>287295397That explains why this got an adaptation now.
>>287295366I think games are entertaining enough. It's not about gambling but rather keikakuing other people with your mind.
>>287293615>The characters are acting irrational when under stress, this is so unrealisticYou're right but that isn't a problem with the plot
>>287294303>>287295522(keikaku means plan)
>>287295097>>287295397Sad. We've got raws up to chapter 6 or so
>>287291770This is why shounen shit should have continued to be gatekept out of the board.
Stitches.
>>287295715Stop posting my wife
>>287291711man this shit looks like ass i never read the manga but just because it's by Madhouse i decided to give it a try and they've fallen off hard
>>287295495No anon you got it backwardsHe's drawing the manga to celebrate the anime being made, this sequel manga is only meant to be a short serialization
>>287294628>That old man can't sell himself to make money like she can.You underestimate what young women would do to satisfy their middle aged men fetish.
>>287295922Damn. Disappointing. This garbage adaptation doesn't deserve a new short manga.
>>287296027We get it, nigger, you found the screenshot button.Now stop spamming.
>>287294980>>287295015Yes, he's in on it. He's an employee of the LGT Office.
>>287296027We don't get it, winner, you didn't find the screenshot button.Now don't stop spamming.
>>287295737damn she's expensive
>>287296220He's so cool...
>>287296169kino
Can we get some actual discussion instead of this mindless spam?
>>287296272You're clearly a newfag. It's tradition to post screenshots from the respective episodes in their corresponding threads.
>>287296272Everyone has read the manga. The discussion for this over.
>>287296108Why the long face?
>>287296306Retarded post, never reply again.
>LGC has 200m>they send 100m to each player>player A steals player B's money>Player A gets to keep 100m and gives 100m back to LGC>player B now owns a 100m debt to LGC>if they pay, LGC ends up with 200mSo what's in this for them? Just entertainment?
I want to marry Nao
>>287295715>cute>completely uselessIs there a name for this archetype? Bakadere?
>>287296346Have you watched Squid Game?
>>287296272let find a name for this type of manga
>>287296346The debt accumulates interest, I guess. That, and entertainment.
>>287296346There's a lot more to it but I won't spoil.
>>287296346I assume there's a Washizu-like old money guy who just likes seeing the schemes and suffering that arise from the games
>>287296272A question, is it gay to Fukunaga?
>>287294132I think it looks fine
>>287296346The ending for this is very stupid so just be entertained.
>>287296272I heard they have real intellectual discussion on reddit, newbubby
Last stitch.
>>287296346>So what's in this for them? Just entertainment?The actual reason in the manga is fucking retarded (only revealed at the end), so just assume that it's just rich people entertainment like Squid Game and enjoy the kino (besides the ending).
>>287296529Thanks, king.See you next week.
>>287291994I've never understood this line of thinking with Liar Game specifically.The plot was never that important and while I get that the ending is shit and getting invested only to get hit by that sucks, you're here for mind games, I'd think.Those aren't affected by the ending.
>>287292516hopefully not by the same team who did this and trillion game
>>287294132same team that did Trillion Game and Chi, there were some decent shots though
>>287296272I watched the episode but discussing it here seems pointless since I'll just get spoiled.
>>287291711animation was ok, but i feel like there wasnt enough tension created. There were no pauses after statements. Background music is either too quiet or sounds like elevator music. the whole episode feels its quite bland
Pretty side profile. On another note, are all the games about stealing each other's money?
>>287292631>she bought?
Too old.
>>287296365>Is there a name for this archetype?Yes, it's just "woman (not affected by feminism psyop)".
It's pretty low budget adaptation desu. Not Parasyte tier at all
i liked it, the artstyle is nicet. dropped the manga at the first game
>>287291711Huh? Did they not put Yokoya on the cover?
>>287295810To be a bit fair, half of the time it says "Made by Madhouse", they are not actually the animators, and instead it was outsourced to a korean studio called DR Movie or whatever.
>>287291985GUP has guaranteed future content (2 more movies+more MLLSD) that people are waiting on, I dunno about the other threads.
Liar game was never good
>>287297091>t. dropped the manga at the first gameIt's unfair to judge it by the first game, because it only starts getting good from the second game.But at least you'll experience the rest for the first time as an anime.
Liar game was always good
>>287291711this shit was ass
Liar game liveaction > manga
>>287297152We need to nuke Worst Korea so studios stop outsourcing to them.And as a bonus there's no more K-Pop nor K-Dramas.
>>287296915Depends on what you consider "money", the rest of the games still have lots of background trading of money for votes and stuff
>>287297269Live action actual ending < manga ending <<<<< Live action original ending
>>287291711Just watched it. Despite how the trailer looked, it actually got... a decent adaptation? The main characters make for a lovely duo and it was a great first episode!
>>287296913Liar Game needs capsuleDoesn't feel the same without it
>>287296441Wig on: StraightWig off: Gay
>>287297594I REALLY hope they give her the wig in game 3.Her clothes were so hot, but she was bald.
>>287296545What is it? I read the manga but it's been a while. Fine with spoilersI remember it was all based off a book, is that the gay part?
>>287297636honestlyI'm okay with troons, but they need to look cute. Not like a balding manlet. Made every scene with him in it gross
The ending is bad, yes, but it's one of those rare works where it unironically doesn't actually matter.The meat of the game is all the different games and contests and how the two protagonists manage to thwart the villain of the arc, regardless of the last twelve pages of the story.It's kinda like Squid Game, nobody watched it for the retarded cop subplot or to see the weird guys with masks getting their comeuppance, it was all about the characters and the games.
>>287297667Based on a book or a real story or whatever, but that's not why it sucks. It sucks because it was all just an "experiment" or some shit like that, so retroactively there were no actual stakes, they're not going after people who don't pay, but they STILL took debt money from the losers, which is inconsistent and nonsensical.
>>287297690My position is "if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's a duck".If a qt looks and sounds like a girl, but has a dick, I'm sucking that dick and calling her a "she".But I'm not gonna look at a balding incel in an anime skirt and pretend he's a girl.
>>287297870based
>>287297772Did they though? They took back the money that the losers lost and then "said" that they were now in debt for another amount, but I don't remember a single time in the manga where that debt was actually collected. It was basically just a threat to keep the game going and the losers returning
>people praised this dogshit saying the only bad part was the endingHoly fuck you fags have low standards.
>>287298084That time during the COVID game, Akiyama and Akagi scammed money out of Yokoya, his OWN actual money because it was a check, and used it to pay off debts. So at least in that one instance, the LGT did take other people's money.
>>287298186I mean sure but that case was outside the scope of the game system, and what were they supposed to do, refuse the money and expose the bluff?
>>287297870tranny fuckers are like that huh...
>>287298116So true. It's hard to be intellectual with high standards these days. /a/ doesn't watch thought-provoking life changing deep animes for adults anymore.
Iirc this series has a Hitlerfag. Will the anime reach the point where be starts shit?
>>287298385He'll be in the second cour of season 1.
>>287291711this was so telegraphed, the "bad guys face gets twisted and starts laughing maniacally" was just cheesy kekespecially how she finds out is straight up comedy kekI feel my intellect got offended but it could get much better from here onwards so I'll keep watching it
>>287298385i think the season will end with contraband game as it was mentioned in the trailer
>>287291770>yuyushiki, gup, hidamari, gochishitAll great otaku shows.Anime just doesn't produce otaku shows anymore.
>>287298552The first game is super low tier with a legit retarded protagonist against a retarded opponent so yeah, that's how it goes.Next ones are better with Akiyama in the lead and competent villains.
>>287298571Damn isn't the pacing a bit fast?
>>287296915They're all different games
>>287298307Because no such thing exists
>>287298616Hitler larper arc is fine but that doesnt make any better the manga about how formulaic are the rest of the games and their no stake resolutions
>seinen tagok, I'll try it
>>287298693>thought-provoking life changing deep animes for adults anymore*ahem*death note, liar game, tomodachi game, lotg
based ojisan. he's literally me.
>>287291711I just watched it, it's nice but honestly it doesn't hit the spot like the manga does. I really love the first few chapters of liar game, it's just perfect, the expressions, the paneling, just everything
>>287298640not really, i suppose the season will have 12 episodes, this arc will be 2 or 3 episodes, next will be 4, and the contraband will be 5-6 episodes. this season should cover 60/200 chapters. Pacing is fine, the art direction is crap
>>287298640I mean it's on pace with the J-drama
>>287299536>the art direction is crapYeah, it's plain and lacking.
>>287296306I didn't.
>>287298693But Needy Girl Overdose is airing this season?
>>287298693Monster, Evangelion, Lain, FMA, Fate Zero, Texhnolyze
>>287300078
>>287296220anime seems to be rushed. a lot of exposition is skipped and it looks childish and retarded because of it. instead of calling him a "genius" con artist, they should have said that he took down MLM org single handedly with illegal tactics
>>287296272The anon's screenshot posting is worth more than mindless reddit discussion
>>287296191I got a warning for spamming/flooding.
>>287300078>LainPretentious slop. Rest is true though.
>>287300281kek did that faggot anon really report you? stitches are the tonesetter for any seasonal anime, pay that warning no mind
>>287295715made to be sold for prostitution
>>287291711Will this go until airport game? I want to see best boy Yokoya
>>287292052the ending is equivalent to eyes wide shut. unsatisfying and abrupt yes, but still worth a watch. out of all the options it seems most realistic.what ending did you want though? that friends win in the end? cmon now
>>287300653>>287298571
>>287300281>>287300416/a/ has fallen
>>287291994>but muh ending!!!Anime only here but from the frist episode it seems obvious that the appeal of this series are the "games" themselves, not the characters or plot. this is on the same level of retardation as watching detective conan not for the murder mysteries but for the overarching plot.
>>287300712Not really, one normfag tourist anon just got pissy and a newfag janny decided to be a retard. It's only a warning after all
>>287300666Any conclusive ending would be fine. This one feels like the author stopped caring or ran out of ideas and dropped it.
>>287300709Nice, its the best game
>>287293811>get package>didn't order anything>not expecting anything>actually opening it >keep the money and throw the package away>if they come in say I just threw the package away without opening it at a later dateokay now what clever guy I have 100 million and you have no way to prove wether I opened the package or not
>>287300860Holy ESL
>>287300860they're observing the participants, they know what kind of conversations kanzaki and her teacher have together. They know to the yen who is in possession of the money.btw what did you guys imagine as an ending ? it's either take it literally and have an actual evil organization that you have to defeat, or the metaphorical route. Sure it was abrupt but the author didn't build up the emotional side that much, it's mostly about the mind games, so there isn't much of an emotional resolution to expect
>>287294628>That old man can't sell himself to make money like she can.mature men are quite popular among gay men...
>>287300952Gay men themselves are a minority. Gay men with a fetish for old men are a minority within a minority. Gay men with a fetish for old men who are willing to pay for him are a minority within a minority within a minority.And rich gay men with a fetish for old men who are willing to pay enough for him to pay off his debts are a minority within a minority within a minority within a minority.
>>287300860good one bro, just borrow some money from your local cartel. its just free money you dont have to legally return it to them. you can do whatever you want with that money
Poker was the worst game, anime won't reach it but if there is a S2 I hope they make it better
>>287300736The characters are still good though
>>287291711I dropped this at the airport game. does it get better? I remember liking the insane tranny but everyone else was very forgetable.
>>287300860Btw this makes you a criminal.
>>287301068Airport was one of the better games.
>>287294676Girl here, I just watched the dorama
>>287301008Avoid all that shit and sell your body for decent money if you're a thin femboy in your 20's
>>287301068The "airport game" is considered by most to be the peak of the series.
>>287301085>eat the money>literally no evidence left>no evidence no crimenow what huh huh??? also please ignore my suspiciously 100 million yen shaped belly
>>287292282Tokyo ghoul ending sucks? Fuck, I was gonna read it after dropping the promised neverland. What a piece of shit btw.
i cant wait for contraband game
>>287301143then I'm not missing much? good to know.
>>287301037I agree, I think the entire game was created for that last trick in the end. very disappointing
>>287291711What the fuck, this got an anime? It's like 20 years old.>>287291994Anon, I don't know why this needs to be said to you, but the last 5 seconds of a song don't determine whether the first 200 seconds were good or not.
>>287301321I mean if the last 5 seconds of a song are an explosion or disonant sounds of such unpleasent quality that they make your ears bleed out then I think it's pretty fair to disregard the entire song.
>>287301276I mean if you think about it a lot of games are like thatIt feels like the minority game hinges on the fact that 22 is the one special number that can pull the whole stunt off
>>287291711My boy Fuku-chan.
need nao wife
Holy shit I just realized we still haven't discussed the most important thing about this anime adaptationDo you think they'll keep the Lycaons ticket intact?
>>287301384so you will sit here bitch and complain about ending when the episode 1 just came out.lol, lmao even. chill bro
look like a boring stupid premise, I'll try ep 2 before dropping.
>>287294248Why are the names in Latin writing? Do nips hate the Korean language that much?
>>287300860>>287301164kek. ESLcuties are so cute and funny.
>>287301751Well there wouldn't be any point in writing them in Korean, since the Japanese wouldn't be able to read them.
>>287301492the what?
>>287296365Tardwife (not to be mistaken with Tradwife)
>>287301384You could just NOT listen to that part of the song, you do realize? Songs play through their entirety automatically. Anime and manga don't. Why would you keep reading something that isn't entertaining anymore? Why would you discount something just because it stops being entertaining 3000 minutes in?
>>287293665>>287296366>>287293665>>287297760SQUID GAME COPIED KAMI SAMA NO IUTOORI NOT LIAR GAME.

This bitch has zero self-preservation instincts

I'm starting to like how hopelessly retarded she is...

The keikaku is dooring
>nice girl fixes bad boy
>think character designs seem familiar>it's the same author as One OutsOh shit, if I liked that, would I like this?
How many episodes will there be of this? I don't think I'm gonna watch until it's all out.
>>2873029002 cours of a total of 24 episodes for season 1.(probably 2 more seasons later on)
>>287302341They kinda fucked up
>>287291985I CAN'T BELIEVE DOU IS FUCKING DEAD
>>287302244thats the classic plagiarist's strategy, to simply cite another work that isn't as similar to avoid getting sued.
>>287302976It's sad.
I remember frequently seeing this series listed in /a/'s fake seasonal charts. Feels a little wild to me to see it's real now.
>>287296406>soulless modern slabphoneStop updating series to take place in current year.

>>287303486They kinda have to.The manga began in 2005, but took a hiatus and finished by the time smartphones were the norm (2015). And the author used tablets as part of the story in the manga.
>>287303486Anon...
>>287291711I disliked the plot advancement hinging on coincidences, and the cartoonishly evil teacher.Does the writing get good later?
>>287304119>coincidencesretardo-sama...
>>287304131So they're gonna pull a "it was all keikaku'd by the masterminds from the start"?
>>287302429>there's a surefire way to win this game
>>287303754Nao is so much cuter in the manga.
>>287295684The fuck are you talking about, the latest magazine chapter is 2
>>287305007I see 6 chapters here https://mechacomic.jp/books/253251
>>287305133>第1話>第2話That's 2 chapters, each chapter got divided into 3The Chapter 1 on MD should be "chapters" 1~3 on that site
Will they explain what the penalty for losing is?
>>287305161Not really.
>>287296377Glancing at some of these screencaps why the fuck is this anime so bright? They could have gone for a grittier stylization this just gives me moeslop vibes.
>>287302767Yeah. One Outs is better though.
>>287305159Oh, I see. Why split the chapters up though? It's not like they're long
>>287305237Considering that seems to be one of those webmanga sites that you pay-per-chapter to view, I guess splitting the chapters into smaller chunks makes people more susceptible to payingAlso, I tried out the "free trial" chapter and if the rest of the chapters are shown like that on that website, it definitely will FEEL long enough even if the chapter's cut up, holy fucking shit
seeing so many "oh, so it's like Tomodachi Game" comments wounds my spirit
it's fucking insane that we're getting a Liar Game anime in fucking 2026
Read this years ago. I recall the ending being dogshit, but the beginning/middle was alright.
Liar Game is really smart. I'm not going to say it's perfect but the games and tactics go pretty fucking deep. Shame that the author didn't nail it in some of his other manga.>>287293615You're right but that's actually a plot point. The issue is that these guys fell for it. If they didn't and rejected everything from start they wouldn't have issues.
>>287305566To be fair the premise is the same.
>>287302244Man, Squid Game is so fucking shameless. What a disgusting piece of shit work.
>>287291711because it's a shitty adaptation without a single ounce of passion behind itporn has bigger budget than this
>>287306622But im not looking for a work that it just simple game theory, the work is such a blank space in plot, characters and themes that is not even compelling beyond the games. I will never understood the appeal of the manga
>>287294623I knew that webm would be made thank you for it
>>287305161They never lose. Lmao, nobody lose, the stakes are non existent
>>287294867Eh, it was kinda weak. Maybe one or two high points but overall very forgettable. The author is better suited for psychology, specifically large scale psychology. Mahjong and "individual" psychology are in a slightly different realm (especially mahjong)
>>287306653I think the characters are pretty decent, Nao has a good arc and I like her relationship with Akiyama.Other than that I think just "game theory" is more than enough. You've got crazy games with crazy twists/mindgames and lots of suspense (since the characters CAN actually lose since they don't have to die when they lose).I'll forever remember stuff like the musical chair arc or the ending of the vaccine game, which is more than I can say for a lot of drama.
>>287295366The games are crazy good (once you're past the first, or second, first one is very basic).I'm a huge FKMTfag and I also love Liar Game for different reasons.
>>287300136>a lot of exposition is skippedFuck. This is dealbreaking, isn't it? This whole thing RELIES on exposition and intricate details. If you're not going there with the tactical/psychological autism then you might as well not go in at all.
>>287306698I feel like Kaiji has never really been a gambling manga in the first place, it's been about FKMT talking about his philosophy and views on humanity
>>287306687Nao went from retard to retard who know decently mind games. I dont consider that compelling lolHer character is miles more fleshed out at the live action and she being stupid and naive actually has compelling and thematic reason to be playing the game unlike the manga
>>287306715Depends, mahjong arc exists
>>287306715I'm thinking that's kind of true and false at the same time. On one hand, you can easily say that something like Akagi isn't really about mahjong itself and moreso about humanity, psychology, and one's relationship with death. The link with mahjong comes through all of these themes. On the other hand there ARE parts of these manga that are about gambling itself (or mahjong), this isn't completely disconnected from the subject at hand.>>287306725>Nao went from retard to retard who know decently mind gamesYou can make anything sound lesser like that, what I liked is how Nao went on to shine slowly but surely, even manipulating Akiyama himself at times. Her speech to Hitler at the end of contraband was very good
>>287306732Well yeah, that's because he FUCKING LOVES MAHJONGMeanwhile in, say, Part 5, the manga will devote 10 chapters on Kazuya hallucinating about Kings, because FKMT would rather be talking about Kazuya's state of mind than about the strategies that went into the gambles, and that's precisely what makes Kaiji compelling
>>287306725Nao isn't really retarded, it's more that everyone else in the series is comically evil and works against their best interests. Her suggestions are often pretty sound.
They have cast for the first season on the site.Fukunaga is (You) Tachi which is a good cast.
>>287302319The world needs more upright people like him.
>>287300773"It's only a warning" means it was a mod, jannies can't do that.
>>287300712Man this is depressing. Mods are losing their minds nowadays. We've been left with the worse of the bunch.
>>287296915This is really the first and worst game overall, not even worth mentioning in any real Liar Game discussion. I guess the psychological aspect that "the guy is so relieved to have won that he wont question it too much" is legit but overall it's far from the manga's main strengths, aka large scale games with lots of contestants, cooperation being both encouraged and punishing, and some ways to ultimately hack the game if you look deep enough into it.
>>287299060>death note>tomodachi gameDo I dare ask what is lotg here
>>287307030I assume he meant Legend of the Galactic but without heroes
>>287307049Oh wow. Didn't even know Tomodachi Game got an anime. What the fuck is it doing in a lifechanging list, I don't know. Death Note too. I guess LOTGH can stay?
The premise is kinda retarded. I can't take the idea that you couldn't take this shit to the police seriously
>>287307111You're complaining about lack of realism... in an anime?
>>287307111The actual story agrees with you >>287306622
>>287293615This aspect was so retarded that it made me drop the show
>>287292631>she boughted???BROS NOOOO
>>287292810>I AM SILLY AND CHOLERIC!kino
why didnt blonde bro here accept sex as payment to help this thot?
>>287307415He has his personal motives to hate scammers. No his grandma didn't get scammed for Google Play Cards
>>287302382I can fix her
>>287307415when he was a child his mother got scammed and forced into prostitution, so he hates both scammers and prostitutes as a result
>>287307463so he turned out to be a complete faggot? aight, dropped.
I think some shows would do well in a batch format and this is one of those shows. One batch per good would have been good.
>>287307111how old are you? this is a phase that most 16 year olds have where they think everything needs to be realistic in video games/anime/manga otherwise it's shit, usually you outgrow it and realize that these are fiction stories
What incredibly dumb and cheap writing holy shit
>>287307747she's too honest bro
>>287307111And police will do what exactly? Arrest the teacher? Police can't help if you get scammed out of money by some anonymous organisation, especially if those 100mil weren't yours in the first place.
