Episode 2 releases today.
It's supposed to be out now, right?
Kaiji would just tilt the buiding and open the safe with fake key.
So it seems game 1 is for 3 episodes rather than 2.
Magnet link?
>>2874440873 wiil be the conclusion and start of the next game.
>get 100 million yen>open a high interest saving account at 4%>deposit the money >month passes "lose the game">withdraw the 100 million>give it back to face no penalties>bank gives you 333,333 yen in interest >opponent cant steal your money because its in the bank and you withdraw it after the game ends>repeat forever for infinite free money
>>287444693>>repeat foreverIt's only the first game that's set up like this.
Says a woman sitting in a room completely devoid of any furniture save one handheld lamp staring out the window.
>torrent the episode>only French subtitlesFuck it, I already read the manga, I know the dialogueThis is my French practice for today
Kind of a retarded spot to end the episode at.
>no hairBald ass nigga
Hope his face isn't THAT long in the episodes
>I'll just happen to lease a house opposite to himalready close to dropping this
>>287445594>smart character thinks ahead>"wtf I hate this"
is the japanese live action a retelling or all new?
First game is kinda misleading because the following rounds are all pure mindgames.
Cute
boobs
Is this the first time we see her?
How many games are there in total, 3 or 4? I forgor.
>>2874462529 games
>>287446276Damn, I really remember nothing from the manga except the broad idea of the ending.
>>287446302I remember Fukunaga's saline tits and money predator trait.
>>287446357>>287445563
Master of disguise...needs to hand the money over to the "game staff"I see where this is going.
Stitches.
Me and my brothers
I hate how she runs
>>287444693>get 100 million yen>buy crypto>move countries>cash outwhat the fuck they gon do?
Guys, I'm starting to think Akiyama can't actually be trusted and will instead take all 200 million for himself and force the other two into debt
>>287446598>>move countriesYou think an organization big enough to hand out billions of yen to hundreds of randos can't get to you in another country?
>get 100 million yen>set it all on fire>shoot myselfProblem, Liar Game?
Half of the chapters in this manga end with organizers going WHAT IS AKIYAMA THINKING?! and then a 2-panel closeup of Akiyama's serious face, I wonder if they'll adapt that for the anime
>>287446610He'd do that by himself if that were the case, he has zero incentive to hang around feMC for it.
>>287446702He's into her
>>287446678This anon is a thinker.
>>287443436is this creepy man gonna blackmail for some sexy time
>>287446702He's not officially a participant in the game.
>the brilliant plan is to... gangstalk him
>>287446702He didn't know about the game before her, and sticking with her prevents her from messing with his plan and insulates him from the law
BEHOLD MY EVIL LAUGH >:DAlso I totally misremembered this whole story.I thought Akiyama had switched the messages to make sensei open the safe
>>287446869It's a pretty good plan, they found out everything they wanted to know while wearing down the old man. The only real problem I have is that they haven't done anything in the end. On the final day, the old man would 100% have the key to the safe in his pocket, and he'd be completely exhausted from the stress and not sleeping. At that point, Akiyama probably could have just rushed him and taken the key
Zoomer scammers con 100 million yen out of an old teacher.
>>287446960<:3
>>287446895He did, that's how he bought time before the actual Liar Game agent showed up.
>>287446678>unshoots you
>>287444693>>287446598They mention checking the serial numbers match on the first episode, so I'd assume it counts as "both parties lost all their money" (savings accounts don't give you back the exact same bills you put in, I learned that the hard way when I was 7). The fact they mentioned this probably means that giving the org a generic 100M instead of THE 100M would lead to them charging some sort of interest
Wait a minute, I don't remember they're using smartphone in the manga...
why didn't ojisan call the cops on them? they smoked his house, that's fucking illegal. they would have put restraining orders on them
>>287446582I think it's cute, has a child-like charm
>>287447086The manga took too long to finish, and by the time it did in 2015, the later chapters already had tablets and smartphones.So to make things consistent, they changed it in the anime so that there were always smartphones.
>>287447089How's he gonna prove it?
>>287447089Just say oji-san is clearly delirious and imagining things - look at him, he's sweating profously and hasn't slept properly in days.Maybe an ambulance should be called to bring him to the hospital :)
>>287447213Honestly I'd rather make it all mid-00s tech instead. That feels like the most appropriate era for this kind of setups to exist.
>>287447089>Can you come with us to the station so we can file a report?>uhh uhhh uhhhh can we do it here, specifically in this room?
>>287447109Hey, that's illegal.
>>287447252Me too, but the tablets were actually integral to the story.
Looking at the stitches makes me feel like we lost a lot when anime became 16:9
>>287447290Tablets existed in the 2000s, and purely from a visual standpoint, they're a lot cooler
>>287444693>>287447065Wasn't it fake money?
>>287446726LITERALLY asking for it.
>>287447472No
I don't think these are the best windows to use with your balcony
>>287447065>o I'd assume it counts as "both parties lost all their money"You're only in debt the amount you don't have, so it doesn't matter which 100M you give them, whether it's the proper one or your debt.
>>287447716Why mention "We're gonna check the serial numbers" at all then?
>>287447749To determine which is the winner.They only play with the marked money.
>>287447839>>287447884>I WIN, NEAR
Last stitch.
Ngl it's pretty embarrassing how lame the first "game" is. I totally get people that drop it after first 2 episodes
Damn OP had all the cliches>sitting on a train at the start>drowning in water>randomly running reaching for something>standing in the rain>lip syncI don't mind the budget for the episodes but a rocking OP can work wonders.
>>287448019I told my friend to not start watching until the first game concludes.
>>287447065>I learned that the hard way when I was 7what the FUCK were doing at 7?
Close the blinds, old man.Guessing master conman turned the guy's watch forward an hour somewhere. Or it was always running a bit fast.A lot of focus on the chrono's """"second hand"""" which is normally the timer hand.
>>287448177He'd have to have tinkered with Nao's phone as well then too
>>287448177I don't think anyone can bear to live without sunlight 24/7 for a month.Also it's a good idea to keep an eye on them.
>>287443436This guy's reminding me of that assassin's creed titan collab I saw when people were shitting on it
>>287448177>Close the blinds, old man.bro literally leaves the only one that matters open, you'd think he's doing this on purpose but no, he's just supposed to be retarded
>>287448019I'm only still here because you fags said it gets better after the shitty first game. Trusting /a/ feels pretty bad though.
>>287448260>>287448225
>Hackerman just casually opens the guy's back door???
I thought he was bluffing by saying he knows how to get it out of the safe and by doing that it'll make the ojisan take it out of there and hide it somewhere else
>>287448269I waited 15 years for this anime, you bet your ass it gets good.
>>287448272>I don't think anyone can bear to live without sunlight 24/7 for a monthpussy>Also it's a good idea to keep an eye on themhardly, they have the highground
>>287448274its a sliding glass door, theres no need for security on them
>>287447767He is so happy :)
>>287448269It's been a very long con with bait being laid for years, including people rating the live action highly.Don't see how this can be good with the dud main character.
>>287448063So, my grandma had given me 20 dollars for my 7th birthday, and neither her, nor my parents, noticed that the bill ended in 777, but I did, and I was really happy about this fact, more than about receiving 20 dollars.A few months later, my parents tell me about banks, and the importance of a savings account. I was retarded and asked them "But my 20 dollars will remain safe, right?" and not picking up that I was worried about the specific bill, they said yes. So I tell them to go ahead and deposit my cash savings into a bank.A month later, my mom is talking about getting a deposit box for some jewelry, and I ask her "Wait, can't you put the jewelry in your bank account?" because I was retarded and thought that deposit boxes and savings accounts were the same thing. She then actually explains savings accounts, and when I ask her what happens to bills in savings account, she tells me "Oh, they give them to other people withdrawing money" and I burst into tears, after realizing I was never gonna see my crisp 777 serial number 20 dollars ever again
>>287448399Have you been checking the serials on $20 notes ever since?
>>287448399>I was never gonna see my crisp 777 serial number 20 dollars ever again...Does it hold anything else than sentimental value ?
>>287448441Are you joking?
>>287448225>I don't think anyone can bear to live without sunlight 24/7 for a month.bro I haven't opened my blinds in 6 years...
>>287448437I do avoid spending bills with cool serial numbers in general if I can, I gave up on seeing that specific one ever again, I don't even remember the whole number, so zero leads>>287448441As an adult it seems silly, but keep in mind I was 7, so a bill with trips, trips representing your age, was the coolest shit ever
>>287448517But have you stayed indoors the entire time?I'm basically a NEET staying indoors for 2 years now, and I can't live without the sunlight.
>>287448540honestly depends whether the sun happens to be up or not when I go pick up my grocery delivery and when I go take out the trash. I'm fairly sure during winters when the sun is up only like 3 hours a day I've easily gone months without being exposed to sunlight. Go a few hundred miles north from here and you get months without literally any natural sunlight at all whether you like it or not.
I just want scanlations for the new manga already
>>287448919Redditors are working on it
I assume he either changed time on everyone's watches, or the letter they both got had a fake end time on it
>>287447667Yeah that's super awkward now that you mention it
the only gambling series i like is akagi because in the final chapter akagi admits that he is anidiot who doesnt know when to stop.he was lucky to even survive the first mahjong game against the yakuza
why the fuck does she sit sideways to the window?
Pretty hands, I want to lick them
>>287449660Liar Game isn't really about gambling.
>>287449698To be closer and get a bigger view.If you're sitting head on, then your legs are in front of you, putting some distance between you and the window, so it's harder to see below.
damn, that's evil
>>287448357If that's true then I respect the effort enough to watch it anyway.
>>287448269Just read the manga. I doubt the anime will give the later games justice.
is she rarted fr? spoil me
BRUH imagine running like this lol
Let me guess, the notice was fake and the dude disguised himself as a collector for the game
>>287446678That's kind of MC's plan anyway.
>>287450472She's just autistic anon
>>287450472She'll grow, like all main characters in every series.
>>287446302There's one game that goes on for so long that youd think it was like 2-3 games
>>287450715Are you talking about musical chairs?
>>287450761musical chairs was a namek I didn't mind being on at all
>>287447459Ojiisan correction!!!
>>287450715 Bid Poker? I don't remember too much from it aside from Akiyama BTFOing the old cult guy. The spirit scene was pretty funny.
also will they fuck????????
>>287448269I remembered this game only lasted a chapter in the manga, I might be wrong about that but that tells you how much of a nothingburger this game is. Just a very very weak introduction that doesn't even show what these games usually are.
>>287450956It lasted six chapters actually. I just checked.
>>287450715Basically this manga has like 3 huge great games (I'd say Contraband, Vaccine, Chairs, 4 small or medium size good ones, maybe 1 or 2 mediocre ones (Thinking of the 3v3 with poker) and this one which is actually kinda bad.Interesting chapter distribution.
>>287451050Akiyama owning the boxer in poker was my favorite game/trick
>>287450761>>287450861Nah, I was talking about the round 3 game. Long as hell but really good
Will they censor this?
>>287451123No. It's Japan.
>>287451050Disagree, 17 poker was great.
>>287450522lol
>>287451151>>287451085My memories might be faulty. Anyway it's quite front loaded with great content, I think it's picking up with the next two games and then we've got one of the big ones.
>>287446960>>287446991Yeah, thats the smile I expected.
>>287446857>>287446979Every single time I see a side profile shot of this show's characters they have such pronounced chins.
>>287448399>anon gets deprived of his trips of 7'sThough of little consolation, at least the universe decided to give you those dubs now
A whole episode of watching an old dude locked up in his house, nothing happened.
>>287448019This anime is quite boring, with weak direction. It's not taking advantage of the animation medium at all. There's just about no creativity or passion that I can see. It's as basic as an anime can get.Liar Game deserved better.
>>287452224Well as long as they don't skip explanations it'll be mostly alright since Liar Game is more about cool game theory and mindgames
>>287449698why the fuck did they spend a month in a silent, empty room with the world's most uncomfortable folding chair? most people would go nuts. it's like solitary confinement. there's no reason they didn't bring in a more comfortable chair, and a radio, or knitting, or something to do while watching the guy for weeks. akiyama was sitting on the wood floor for fuck's sake, not even a cushion. it's hard to believe.
>>287450511classic female character running animation in anime.
Of course the nice girl respects international law
EVIL WOMAN SPOTTED
>>287452366>cool game theory and mindgamesits funny how game theory barely works in online pokernobody takes game theory seriously for a reason
>>287446869
>doesn't TRUST THE PLANShe doesn't deserve him
>>287453022I don't mean "game theory" in a rigid sense, some of these characters still act irrationally (as humans do). I think outside of some NPCs being too dumb and some named characters being a little too smart the show is portraying interesting dynamics and plans. Maybe "game theory" wasn't the best way to put it, "dynamics" is a lot more descriptive.
Such a tsundere
>>287443436This looks awfully like kokkou
>I'm a genius!
>>287453096Nao is hot
>>287453001don't spoil shit
>>287446895>>287447767I love these over-the-top evil faces
>>287453198This one I can see happen>>287447767Okay maybe not the one where he looks like a Chain Chomp
>>287447459Combat Ojisan is ready to defend his property like a true American!
>>287453134Those are jobber words if I've ever heard them.
I have to admit it took me this long to figure out the planHe's going to pretend to be the official and retrieve the money, but I thought he was going to fuck with his clock/sense of time, but reading through the thread I realized he made a fake letter with a false time instead
>>287453228And these are the words of a winner
Fucking SMACKED that bitch
>>287446094The nutrients were not going to her head
>>287453064liar game alternative name could be game theory: the mangathat said at least is better than usoguibaku madarame is as bad as light yagami or the joker from the dark knight movie
Gee, I wonder whose hand that is!The real question is whether Nao is honestly snapping or merely pretending, but she's so retarded that I believe she's genuinely freaking out
/a/ isn't ready for Fukunaga
>>287451123Judging by how things have been going lately, they definitely will.
>>287453300Hot...
>>287448269There are like 2 legit very good games in the manga.
I thought this manga had a closed ending, but it seems they released a sequel in 2020.
>>287453428Akiyama never tells his allies anything besides "do these nonsensical appearing actions" and then at the very end of a game his allies break down like this and their opponent thinks they won, giving Akiyama the final edge to reverse the situation.
>>287453697The ending was "THE DARKNESS IS TOO DEEP!!!!"
Oh fuck right off. I haven't read the manga and even I know this shit could've been wrapped up in two episodes.
What an obnoxious opening arc to drag out to 3 episodes. So I'm guessing he messed with the watch to make it an hour early, or the guy forgot about daylight savings because he's too stressed? It was obvious from the moment he said the safe would pop open like magic
Adapted so far:>Episode 1: Chapters 1 and 2 (46+30 = 76 pages)>Episode 2: Chapters 3, 4, 5 (20+17+21 = 58 pages)The conclusion of game 1 and the announcement of game 2 happens in chapter 6, which is 31 pages.Doubtful they'd waste a full episode on just 31 pages.Chapter 7 is 61 pages, but adapting 92 pages would be a lot for 1 episode.But if they do, that's one volume in 3 episodes, so 8 volumes for this season, so it would coincide with the end of the 2nd revival round.
Also, in addition to >>287454373, I don't think that's a good place to stop.Would be better to end with volume 6 as a good climax to the season, and that would be with the end of chapter 59.
>>287453198same, makes me kek
>>287453198>>287454723They're even longer in the manga, but they nerfed it in the anime.
>>287453278As an animeonly, I assume the first part of your comment was gonna occur.
I don't really remember any of the resolutions to the games, but I have a pretty good guess on this first one at least.
>>287453909Blame the producers
This is bad.
>>287453278Am I a big brain? this was the first thing I thought to do. seemed like the obvious plan (besides beating the shit out of him)animeonly btw
This is great.
>>287453001>evil>woman
>>287443436i tried to read the manga, but everyone is just so retarded, at least One outs was fun
Are they going to give it a real ending this time?
>>287445939This is what nu-anime looks like? We have fallen so far
>>287445939She's cuter in the live action.
what the FUCK was going on with that customs border game, I was really lost
>>2874584225/10, doesn't look retarded enough (her stupidity makes her cuter)
>>287458422Well that was a bit of a loop. Was surprised Shida Mirai played her... only to find out it's someone completely different.
>>287458622It's confusing because the ATM's are on the opposite side
>>287458788This girl looks a tad dumber.
>>287458622I have to give it a re-read and actually pay attention to the explanation this time, because it went over my head when I last read it.
I remember reading this as a teen and loving it, which makes me feel old but I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of anons that'll feel even older for me saying that, but yeah weak start. I still love the psychological aspect and I appreciate that their strategy makes sense, but this really doesn't need to be a 3 episode arc.
>>287459475but would you sex nao?
>>287459514Who wouldn't?
I legitimately love Nao for her personality>t. mango reader
>>287459546I think she's rarted and naive but I can fix her with my dick
>>287445939They ruined her.
>>287459577her tits grow with her ability to lie
>>287458788If it makes you feel better, I thought she was voiced by Saori Hayami in the anime, only to find out it was Saya Hitomi
Some mangafag tell me if I guessed Akyama's play correctly. He either doctored the last letter or somehow messed with the teacher's clock so he thinks the game is already over is now pretending to be a LGC employee coming to check the money and declare him winner
>>287460034The former.
>>287459577how could you not automatically trust this
I think this anime is suffering the same thing as Hana Kimi where it's better off watching the live action than this.
>>287460365Hana Kimi japanese live action was too good BUT they made Nakatsu so good they obviously don't want to see Nakatsu treated like shit again. Like, 80% were rooting for him kek
In case this gets resolved in the few minutes left before the episode ends I'm going to pause here and take a guess at what Akiyama's plan is>force the dude to stick by the safe and never leave it>switch the card in his mailbox that tells him what time the LGBT will be coming to collect the money for one that says they'll be coming earlier>show up disguised as the LGBT at the fake time and have him open the safe for them and hand over the moneyOkay let's see if I'm rightAh fucking hell captcha won't load fuck this shitty useless site
so far I like the anime, I read the manga like 8 years ago and I don't remember the girl MC being this cutethey should've ended the first game this episode though, I know retarded zoomers don't have enough attention span for this
>i have a safe full of paper money. how is this guy going to get it?>with a cutting torch! it's gotta be a cutting torch. he's going to cut into the safe and pull out the flammable cash with a cutting torchis this nigger retarded? why does he think they won't simply torture him?
>>287460947its the most entry level "con" possible, so please dont feel like a detective who solved an impossible riddle
>>287452417They show you she's really good at waiting with nothing to do in the first episode when Akiyama ditches her.
>>287461178If anything I'm just disappointed at how obvious it is
>>287461397anons here swear that the games get better after this introductory one
>>287461397>>287461414yes it's not even on the list of games as far as I'm concerned. Kinda mad they made 3 episodes out of that but oh well
This manga makes me immune to cliffhangerI remember almost every chapter ends with either someone saying they have a winning strategy or something happens that makes people go "how did this happen" and also the manga will go on hiatusThen the manga returns for like 3 chapters before going on another hiatus
>>287446560I kekd at the faceless bald NTRmen squad
>>287453278yes that was exactly what I thought. But I think it's fine to do something actually predictable for the first game instead of a impossible ultra contrived over the top plan. It was like solving a puzzle
Holy shit I hate reading threads about "smart" stories. Bunch of fucking retards that constantly go OMG I THOUGHT OF THE SAME THING ??? AM I LE GENIUS ????????? PLEASE kill yourselvesI also found this shitty edit I tried to do while reading the manga a while back kek, I haven't seen a (You) image in a while.
>>287461977u sound butt frustrated
>>287461811"Solving a puzzle" describes a lot of Fukumoto and Liar Game writing I think. Sure you've got unknowns, you've got surprises, accidents, coincidences, irrational actions, but whether it's Fukumoto or Liar Game there's that really satisfying component of "and this is how you crack the game open".>>287461977Anons are fine, it's just the lack of content right now.
>>287461977You seem to be thinking highly of yourself. How about humbling yourself instead when with others?
>>287461977>sheathes katana, tips fedora, closes tab, unplugs computer>"heh, I'm surrounded by sub-80 IQ neanderthals. They'll NEVER come back from that roasting"
>>287459790Proof that evil is stored in the breasts
So you want to tell me, that I can send some amount of money to anyone in Japan, tell them that by opening the package they're now in a contract with me, if they lose a game they owe me 100'000'000 yen, and it's legal?Because that sounds like a great business plan.And awful place to live.
>>287463349not really, but these guys got spooked into believing it and playing along
>>287443436The pacing is way too slow. The game should have ended this episode easily.
>>287463349>it's legal?most media literate weeb
>>287463481An entire episode of looking through a window was ridiculous, and not worth stalling for a cliffhangerThe only explanation I can think of is that they wanted this pace to set up bigger cliffhangers in the next episodes
>>287461977I feel called out personally, anon. It was a multilayered shitpost poking fun at the simplicity of the strategy and anons confused by it. chill dawg
>>287463533The next cliffhanger candidate is at the end of the next game though. The direction is just shit desu.
bump
>>287445939Somehow I always imagined Nao more with a bit of a goth vibe.
>>287446869Hey, as long as it works
>>287463481IT's not even a good cliffhanger. It's obvious he's going to disguise himself as the money collector somehow. Should have just gotten this over with.
We should make a Liar Game bingo.>player says "this is the Liar Game, meaning the game where you lie">episode ends on "I have a foolproof way of winning"What else?
>>287468862>Nao is tricked>Akiyama refuses to disclose his plan>hysterical laughing from a player
>>287446502Shameless LA bump she's perfect
>>287469728Very spoogeable face
>>287468862Liar Game admins going>Just what trick did Akiyama use?!>Let us review this footage from X minutes ago...
>>287468862>Nao cries and screams>The rival player makes an exaggerated evil face
>>287454086I assume it's gonna be a>you were supposed to keep it safe until the real representative showed up dumbassresolution.
>>287470275>I knew that was Akiyama's plan but didn't say anything
>>287471600>>287470275>that one seething masked guy pissing and shitting himself over Akiyama/Nao
The OP is pretty good, the minimalist animation in it works:https://youtu.be/W0UwQsWvk_I?si=axU-nW72aCCbcC2d
the long faces don't work that well in the anime
>>287447265Kek, that's a good point actually
>>287472406Didn't really work in the manga either, but I think the super chins and huge necks are part of the aesthetic. It'd be like going through Elfen Lied and taking away all the rat-like faces.
>>287443436this show kinda has those old school trainwreck vibes down to the wacky facial expressions and borderline nonsensical asspull logic
>>287443436You should watch liar game movieIt has better ending than the manga

>>287472033It immediately reminded me of the 2000s. I can't say why exactly, but it did, so props to Yorushika. It's a good fit.

How is it compared to manga so far
Man the One Outs anime was kino from episode 1. Liar Game anime dropped the ball thus far. Liar game was the better manga though
So... how are they going to handle the phonebook thing next episode?
