Episode 3 today.
>>287584767Precious cinnamon roll.
FUCK OFF.DROPED.
>>287585455They didn't try with her feet.DROPPED.
AOTY
I knew this shit would be animated like ass but it's worse than I imaged. The show is almost all stills. Why even bother making a manga that's been over for 11 years into an anime and not actually animate it. Shit the opening just uses manga panels. It's just so fucking lazy. Meanwhile garbage romcoms every season are animated down to the fucking hair follicles moving despite having zero plot. I don't even want to finish the show at this point
>>287584767this show is so retarded but I like it>>287585764it really doesn't need amazing or even good animation to portray what's happening to be fair
My brother in Christ she's so dumb
>>287585882That's not the point. It's just almost entirely stills and shots from behind to cover not having to animate talking. Jump cuts where things should be one shot to avoid transitioning and animating. It's just sad. Besides the ending I really loved this manga but it's just so disappointing. If this was given to something like Cloverworks or Dogo it would have been better. Madhouse is literally using their F team on this shit.
>>287585255LOL
Will this be moral degeneration?
She's perfect
So why didn't she just walk away after the fake lawyer revealed the bamboozle?
Had to drop this, the MC pisses me off.
Saw this coming but holy fucking SHIT you stupid motherfucker
It's a humiliation ritual at this point.
Oh fuck right off you've gotta be shitting me
>>287585764>>287585977It's almost like anime is more than just animation huh.
So the plan was okay but it's kinda undermined by being revealed immediately on the spot. It would have been so much better if we were led to believe that the money were collected in some short scene, and then later revealed the truth. As is, it comes off flat.Also why did she think the game was over? Her card had the proper date.
>welcome to round 2>if you want to drop out you have to pay half your winnings>if you don't show up you have to pay all your winningsYeah how about no, suck my dick
>>287586257>>287586273this is basically Justine but sfw and somehow even more retarded
>>287586432>JustineWhat?
Yeah that'll show them, you stupid fucking retardFucking HELL this bitch is dumb
So she's gonna forfeit their winnings all the fking time?
So if I go up to her and say she owes me sex she'll just do it without question?
Stitches.
Funny how they tried to portray ojisan as evil but for 3 episodes now I feel nothing but sympathy for him. If I didn't care about social norms I'd act the same as him. he's based and literally me. And he should have won. Writer got into a corner and didn't know how to make him lose so he used the cheapest trick in the book and made ojisan retarded on purpose so he couldn't recognize the twink in disguise.
>>287586752Yes.She plans to use the winnings to save the people who get fucked over.He plans to keep taking on the debt to bankrupt the Liar Game people. as there's a limit to how much money they can get out of a single person.
Bring me Akiyama.
Why couldn't she just run off from there?
WHY THE FUCK IS HER HEAD SO LONGWHO THE FUCK IS DRAWING THIS SHIT
>giving Sensei the moneyI might actually drop this holy shit. I had to pause the episode there and do the dishes because good fucking god that's so retarded. It's bad enough that they're giving the money back, but Sensei isn't even a good person. I'd kinda get it if he was a good dude who was just desperate for money, but he's not. I know he has debts, but he spent the whole month bragging about how stupid the MC is and really lording it over her that he'd won. He's a fucking assholeGod damn, anime normally doesn't make me this upset. I'm actually really enjoying this anime but if something like this happens again I'm done
good episode
God, I forgot that the girl wanted the money to help her dying father. So just fuck him, I guess? And they spent money renting the room they watched Sensei from, so they're actually IN THE HOLE after a month
Foid I'm watching with keeps seething at how she runs. Makes me laugh everytime she's on screen doing it.
>>287587052There are no bad people. Only bad circumstances. Everyone is good in their heart of hearts.
>>287586552I love exploitable women like her. She'd be so easy to gaslight into giving you sexual favors
>>287585764what is there to animate? 90% of the runtime is just people talking
Last stitch.
>>287586257The great third world filter.
>>287586413Wait a minute this shit is not just zero sum game it's a scam where only the house wins
>>287587102She's a shallower Thorfinn if you think about it.
>>287586372man I knew this was the same studio, but didn't realize it's the studio that also made Frieren lel
>>287586257I had hopes it wasn't going to go in this direction when they started walking away but then immediately crushed them and doubled down with even the guy giving his winnings away
>>287587102omg yesss trvke
Will it be better than Tasuuketsu though?
>>287586382they dont even give the impression one hour has actually passed. like i had thought maybe he got 15 minutes ahead on his watch or something and barely squeaked in before 5 which i knew was the trick.
It is called being a good person, maybe some of you should try it?
So when are they fucking ?
>>287587128A few examples of something similar but with more effort put in are things like>Oshi no koAlmost all talking yet the framing and animation is significantly better>Fragrant flowerArguably "over animated" but still does a good job of keeping your eyes on the show giving you a visual treat to go with the dogshit show.>Ice guy and his cool colleague Despite being a simple office romance the world and characters feel very alive. Then obviously you have shows like Monogatari that are egregiously out of budget range for something like this. There's pretty much nothing separating this from the manga. The voice acting is decent but anime is still a visual medium.
>>287587254He gets NTRd by RatGOD in the end, then kills himself.
>>287587102It just feels so contrived to set up the reason she goes to Round 2. But I feel like there's a million other ways you could've done it
>>287587338i am just speechless at the depths of her retardation, it's kind of flipping back around to amazing.
>>287586927>when you tell her a snake bit your dick
What does she do all day?
>>287587083She didn't need the money.She didn't want to stress her father by getting into trouble.
>>287587200Nobody watched Tasuuketsu
>>287586540De Sade. Basically a really well behaved girl gets into all sorts of misfortunes because she's naive and believes in Providence and other people. She gets raped, enslaved, and all sorts of comically tragic bullshit
>>287587363I'm a bit shocked at how angry this has made me. It's just so goddamn stupid. I'm not going to drop it, but I am going to freak out when she wins Round 2 and gives the money back again. God, this would all be fine if Sensei was just a nice guy. Then, I'd get it. Or have her keep the money but compound Dad's medical emergency so she has to go back. Better yet, make Nao WANT to go back (but I get that this changes her "totally naive" characterization). Anything would've been better than what we got
>>287587426being victimized
>>287587426She's a student, she studies.
>>287587200I thought I was the only person who watched Tasuuketsu. I don't have any screenshots from it though
>>287587465i was getting mad but its so hilariously stupid, maybe she'll be an Ultimate Survvivor
>>287585764It looks okay for the content they had to animate. It's not at all "all stills". You don't know what an all-still shows looks like.
>>287587254Very slappable cheeks.
>>287587438>She didn't need the money.Her father is dying of cancer>She didn't want to stress her father by getting into trouble.Ok, but she ALREADY has the money. What you said makes sense if she didn't go to Round 2, but it makes no sense if you think about keeping the money. Also, we know that keeping the money would be her way of staying out of trouble since she'd need to return it to stay out of Round 2. Giving it back is stupuid
>>287587555Honestly giving the money back does make sense because you don't want the teacher coming back and murdering you out of revenge, especially when the medical expenses of her fathers are taken care by healthcare. But she gave it back because she's nice, not because she thought about retaliation
>>287585928Wife spotted.
>>287587613She rims old men for money
>>287587507>Ultimate SurvivorKaiji was arguably as selfish as sensei. The difference is he had strong morals and would never have fucked over his allies. This, and an everlasting hatred to fuck (((them))) over, makes him a much stronger MC.
>>287587692Nah, she fucks them in the butt. For money.
You fags said this would get better but it's still getting worse.
I can't tell, am I going retarded and losing my language sense or is 'never able' off in this context? Isn't 'in the end I wasn't able' better here?
>>287587735new game seems hype
>>287587843it's a common expression, you're just going retarded
>>287587843saar, I speeking perfectly able english and got job here aat crunchyrole
This was written by a woman, wasn't it?
>>287587735You got liar game'd.
>>287586382>Her card had the proper date.It didn't. Akiyama swapped it too so she would have that breakdown and trick Fujisawa.>>287587234They didn't emphasize it, but you see the disguised Akiyama manually "verifying" the money.He tells Fujisawa it'll take some time, and that's his excuse to stall for an hour. In the manga, they show that verification doesn't take time at all and happens almost instantly with the money machines.
>>287587962>Akiyama swapped it too so she would have that breakdown and trick Fujisawathis is explained where?
>>287587146as opposed to casinos that give you free money out of the kindness of their hearts
I think this post >>287586853 was meant as a reply to this post >>287586664
>>287587981In the show, retard. He even tells her he needed her despair to look genuine.>>287587962>In the manga, they show that verification doesn't take time at all and happens almost instantly with the money machinesIt's in the episode too, we see the machines.
>>287585764>I knew this shit would be animated like ass but it's worse than I imagedI think monke anime was better animated desu
>>287587960The real liar game was tricking /a/nons into watching a whole season of this
Good so far
>>287588020>He even tells her he needed her despair to look genuineHe didn't say anything about her card, retard.
>>287587894I know it's common, but something still strikes me as odd here
>>287587843>>287587894It's wrong. It's like she's musing on her inability to thank him rather than regretting that she didn't.
>>287588020>It's in the episode too, we see the machines.I said they didn't EMPHASIZE it.They show the machines, yes, but they don't say that it doesn't take time at all, like they do in the manga.>>287588095>He didn't say anything about her cardGenuinely think about this for two seconds, before I start calling you slurs.
>>287587998i don't remember casinos just randomly mail people to participate
>>287588165I accept your concession, nigger faggot.
>>287588054Joke's on them; my time isn't worth anything.
This tard mongoloid >>287588095 thinks that a rando just happened to steal Nao's mail, doctor a fake that coincidentally had the same time Akiyama put in Fujisawa's letter, and then put it in Nao's mail....because the show didn't explicitly tell him it was Akiyama that did it.These are the sub 60 IQ subhumans bitching about the show.
>>287588326>achully, my headcanon explains the plotholerattled so much had to reply twice?
Seems they didn't explain how Nao happened to contact the lawyer in the first place.In the manga, Nao uses her phonebook to look for lawyers, and she just goes to the first one she sees.Then when he reveals he works for the LGT office, he explains that they swapped her phonebook in the mail, and replaced all the lawyers numbers with his.They changed the setting to a modern one, so they had to scrap this bit. I was really looking forward to how they'd explain it, and one anon suggested targeted ads (which would've been nice).
>>287587843It's a common phrase.
>>287585764Not to say that sakuga is unwelcome, but the only real reason for an adaptation like this is for voicework and music to elevate the experience
>>287587843https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNE7kKeguh8&t=68s
>>287586290It's too late for him, she already fixed himIt's terminal
>>287587962>Akiyama swapped it too so she would have that breakdown and trick Fujisawa.She received the card before she even met Akiyama, retado.
>>287588709I know it is, but it's off for the situation it's used in
>>287588895I'm talking about the third card, not the first one.They sent 3 cards to each player.
>we're fifty-fifty partners>if you get nothing, I get nothingAre there people here who seriously have never seen this trope before?
>>287588899No it isn't.
She's so dumb
>>287588990Do your grammar nazi reps. She's not looking back on a distant memory
>>287589022Her honesty more than makes up for it
>>287589047That phrase doesn't have to be talking about a distant memory ESL-kun.
>>287589082"I was never able to" implies finality or distance. "I didn't get to repay/thank him" or whatever else would be a better line for that situation w/o the grammar baggage
>>287589158There is no "grammar baggage" and it is perfectly natural. Don't make claims about languages you don't understand.
Ok, I'm kind of getting sick of the retardation of the players here. I get that Kanzaki's retarded, but what about the rest of them? Shouldn’t they have some basic common sense?Why doesn’t at least one of them just throw the gem at their face and leave? Their chances of winning are less than 5%.
>>287589258overconfident retard
>>287587998Yeah but casinos require you to bring your own money. The Liar Game is more like someone took a game show concept and decided to make it real and ruin people's lives for the luls.
>>287589429>ESL retard has to ask AI because he cannot speak the languageStay in your lane.
>>287589427The Liar Game only targets stupid people, clearly. There's no reason for any of it to be happening other than the organisers' amusement anyway.
>>287589429SAAR DO NOT REDEEM
>>287589569Hey. Don't trashtalk ESLcuties. They're trying their best. I want to KISS them.
>>287589569Valiant attempt at saving your dignity
>>287589429Paypigging or are you on a proxy?
>>287589678ESL-kun, you need a period at the end of your sentence. Take more English classes and I'm sure you'll be fluent someday.
>>287589705Pro sub. Proxywise its beyond dead. Considering moving to gemini for bulk translation work cause of supposedly better quota and im starting to feel like gemini's better at being consistently natural, but idk
>>287589808dude you don't have to pay for translation, just use free chatgpt for it
>>287589705He’s Indian. What do you think?
>>287589808Lmao what a fucking loser.
>>287589933He's not paying for the translation. I’m pretty sure he mainly uses it for coding and other technical stuff like me.
>>287585764dont worry, is going to be only one season
>>287589976Literally said translation work.>>287589933im working on thousands of lines of text and GPT sucks cock anyway. i'd rather run qwen on arena
Is this Kaiji
>>287589976is it true it got nerfed to hell?
I'm sure they could have gone through all that in less timePacing is rather slow.The OP is decent though. Unlike crappy average OPs that just montage characters, this one really conveys the strategic relationship between the characters.We see Nao get left behind by all the other players, and getting betrayed by people she trusts. Also it's very nice how the organisation is represented by an interrupting black envelope. This use of metonymy rather than a silhouette of the organisation heads really preserves its mystique and conveys its power.
>>287590049By “it,” I meant a paid LLM subscription. I’m using the paid version of ChatGPT, not Claude.
>>287586020No.
>>287590049They changed the system prompt making it think less, theres a workaround that fixes it by telling it to display CoT. Though its hard to tell if it was nerfed, there wasn't any proof and people benchmark it week by week to see if it dips. Only gemini 3.1 comes near anyway so even if it did get worse its a 'so what' situation
Welcome, contestants.You have been summoned here for a new round of the Liar Game.Before you is a collection of posts. And hidden among them... is the ESL.Your task is to identify which sentence bends the rules of language the most.Be warned: the ESL may not appear as you expect. He may have taken precautions, he may have sought assistance, he may have used ChatGPT in a desperate attempt to appear normal, fluent, and undetectable.Trust no punctuation.Doubt every clause.Question every word.The game begins.
>>287588616prob could just give her a leaflet for free legal advice a week in advanceI'm sure Nao would remember that
>>287588616I have a sneaking suspicion that 90% of the explanations in this series is that somebody swapped something clandestinely.
>>287589022Aren’t we wall?
>>287587521You're smart enough to know it wasn't literal. I've seen all still shows like househusband. This isn't much better. >>287589994Yea I know. I'd welcome up to 4 or 5 more if they retcon the ending>>287588733It doesn't even have to be fully sakuga. I'd just take more movement, smoother transitions etc. The anime just feels really lifeless.
>>287589427because Liar Game as a story is more focused on the logical aspect rather than the physcial aspect of the scenarios.Hence why all the threats so far have been abstract and we don't see much violence/gore/mortal peril.
>one shot he's touching his mask>the next it's offIs it so fucking hard to animate taking off the mask, instead of just going panel-to-panel?
>>287590037It's like a family-friendly Kaiji with less stress and more complex games with larger team cooperation elements. (And thus social skills/engineering is a bigger thing here.)
>>287590387Nah the more common deus ex machina is that Akiyama had another guy on the inside working with him.
>>287590522Wasn't that only used 3 times?
>>287590205kek
>>287590608can't remember but it was still used too much. Maybe foreshadow it a bit or smth
>>287585255why is he basedjacking
>>287584767smartphones are so soulless
Ready for SEX with Fukunaga!
>>287589427All the smart players noped out of the game by paying the 50% tax so there’s only the gambling addicts left.
>>287591978>50% taxThe fuck? Why should they even do that? They wouldn't be "smart" if they did that.
I can't be the only one who tried scanning the QR code. It looked so real...
>>287592220That's how you end up in debt and trapped in some stupid game.
>>287585561That's kind of what the bitch is trying to do, otherwise she'd have won on episode 3 in the shittiest game.
>>287587146>>287586413Yep the mechanics for dropping out are a big part of this. Some games are positive sum iirc but dropping out isnt' free unless you won 0 yen or just lost.
>>287590037I wish
Damn he looks like me
>>287587465>God, this would all be fine if Sensei was just a nice guyI agree it feels way too idealistic for Nao to give back the money to this gloating fucker, but it's also a bit more understandable given that she knew him beforehand, I guess?Either way, show's finally picking up a little now with better games, although we're not in South Korea vs North Korea yet...
>>287587735I didn't lie. You're still in the first shitty game that doesn't even get mentioned in any game ranking list.We had a storytime a few years ago and it was solid so you don't have to take my word for it. That said I can't speak for a weekly anime release, it depends on the pacing and what they cut or don't cut.
>MC is a moralfag AND a simpDROPPED
Im watching this because it's famous but it is boring me
>>287589427>Their chances of winning are less than 5%.Depending on the game there can be multiple winners with different earnings, it's not like a battle royale everytime and even when the game has a single winner taking the whole huge pot then there are team mechanics making it necessary to gather allies and share winnings. If you're not dumb you can definitely make money.
>>287590205okay you got me
>>287586257Did she forget about her sick dad? Wtf.
>if you go there and tell them off, they'll leave you alone>this has been free legal advice
>>287592882IIRC the dad doesn't need money for an operation or anything, it's not that sort of scenario. I think it's just to make her more sympathetic.
>>287592656kinda this. I'd say its dated, but I feel it'd be dated even at release
>>287593171You're allowed to just read the manga.
>>287590153Will it be the opposite?
>>287587146that's my only complaint until now, it would feel more fair if it was zero sum, but now it's just some evil organization getting money from random people with this weird scam. And I would also say that they haven't sufficiently established by now why you couldn't just ignore their threats. it is heavily implied that the law wouldn't protect you, but I think a concrete example for the viewer would be needed by now.
>>287593092Yeah I got the impression from ep1 that her dad is terminal and I appreciate the series isn't shooting for some miracle treatment.
>>287593234why would I want to waste my time on that
>>287584767Doesn't this cutie have a friend?
>>287594066The way I see it it's mostly uncertainty working for them. They don't really have any real legal footing (the attorney was a crook working for them) so you probably could just ignore them, but then they'd just send people to break your knees and retrieve the money. Or at least it's safe to assume they're watching you and it's not going to be easy to escape with the money.>>287594101I mean you just watched 3 entire episodes of the shittiest "game" you could've read in 10 minutes instead and moved on to the good stuff, so obviously you're not valuing your time that much.
>tfw the last second crocodile tears act actually works out
>>287594134Only superficial ones who ignored her.
>>287587442I watched it up to the part where MC dies
>>287594101Because it's much faster than watching the anime, and it's just better anyways.
>>287594255>>287594141Manga feels like a hassle in comparison. Reading, clicking, it's all effort.
>>287587137Thanks anon
>>287592502His big guy voice was so fucking funny lmao
It's so overIt has never been more over than this
Average lottery winner
NO FUCKING WAY
>>287594771Fun fact: you're statistically more likely to end up homeless once you become a lottery winner
>>287586797>>287586822>>287586843
>>287589427It's round 2, only people who want to compete are left.
>>287585255His defeat faces are just as good as his victory faces
Nao is NOT happy
>pics of shit teacher tries to scam his student and even tells her whore herself to pay her debts>gets fucked over by his own hubris>she gives him the money anyway>the seasoned scammer helping her also gives him his moneyfucking gay, fuck them bothold guy deserved to rot
Literal criminal status: FIXED
>>287586413>>287586552Poor guy tried his hardest to work with this retard
>>287585764Pretty much. Why even try? Liar Game has been done to death. Who even asked for this anime?
Good deeds are always rewarded!
Legally speaking the whole premise is retarded. There's no fucking way you could be held accountable for this fake made up debt, especially in Japan.
>ignoring man's calls to listen to some slimy lawyer's contrived manipulationWe're reaching NTR doujin levels of female retardation
Am I supposed to believe some super anxious cowardly girl was gonna walk all the way to the office of a dangerous allegedly criminal organization to threaten them? Really?
Liar Game bros? Our response???
HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?
>>287594987Manga taught me loan-sharks can knock on your door to reclaim a loan you didn't contract and they're allowed to sell your organs if you don't pay.
>he fell for the nice girlDon't do it bro...
WHY IS SHE SO RETARDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>287594889I don't remember, did we get Akiyama's backstory yet? That'd make things a lot more understandable from his perspective. Nao is basically a stand-in for his dead mother>>287594987This is acknowledged by the manga though, it's not running on any legal ground obviously.
>>287595092She's an appropriate handicap for our HERO
>>287590205we give up
>>287594889Does the teacher deserve to get fucked? Yeah.Would our protagonist fuck him over? No.She's too much of a softie to put a guy that deep in debt, and if she was already established as the vengeful type it would fundamentally change her approach to the rest of the game going forward.
>>287594889It's fine because she got him to not do it againAnother man successfully fixed!
>>287587128>>287587283>A few examples of something similar but with more effort put in are things like or, you know, Death Notewhich was an obvious inspiration for this mangaand which is also 90% talkingand which could have used similar excuses for uninspired animation, but instead went for the bombastic presentation that elevated it into immortal meme status
>>287595115It's not explained yet but the ED gives it away. >>287594987The mob doesn't have any legal grounds to ask for money either but the police won't unbreak your windows and unhang your puppies after you refuse to pay.
>>287595253It's more of an ideological assertion for Nao's sake.>>287595263The analogy doesn't work that well because Death Note is 90% about looking exciting and 10% about making complex plans that make sense.
>>287595263I thought liars game had a one shot in the 90s
>>287595290>The analogy doesn't work that well because Death Note is 90% about looking exciting and 10% about making complex plans that make sense.I'll grant you that DN was much more style over substance, and Liar's Game looked like it was aiming to be a fix fic that was actually smartbut that distinction doesn't particularly matter here, when it comes to anime directionLiar's Game would still only benefit from a dynamic presentation, and so saying that anime has to suck because the manga sucked displays a lack of imagination
>>287595365Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not saying I disagree with you. No matter how dialogue-heavy a work is you still benefit a lot from good direction. Execution matters far more than most people think. That said I still think Liar Game wouldn't suffer too much from a lackluster direction as opposed to cutting dialogues and important game elements, this and pacing is what will decide whether the adaptation is solid or not.
>>287595365This is less smart than DN so far. DN is actually pretty good until the halfway point.
>>287594987The contestants are competing to win.It's not Kaiji where they are escaping death or slavery.
>>287584767i haven't read the manga if there is even oneI don't care the animation is assthis story is just dumb. like fukumoto had a strokejust fucking retarded
>>287595410Death Note is not even in the same realm as Liar Game when it comes to writing great mindgames and complex situations. It's an insult to compare them. Of course that doesn't involve this one "game" which is fairly simple and actually not as good as a few Death Note moments, but take my word for it, Death Note is already stupid on its own and even more stupid when compared to something quite clever.
>>287586290Freud won once again
>>287595070I am very entertained by her freakouts.
>>287595541>it totally gets good later guys just trust me mmmkay
>>287595570I'm merely stating a fact here. Feel free to drop the show and do whatever with your time, but if you don't already have an idea of how stupid Death Note is, you're not the brightest bulb in the box.
>>287595410>This is less smart than DN so far.I'm not defending LG either, in fact I didn't like it much>DN is actually pretty good until the halfway point.I don't want to start an avalanche of discussion, so let's just say I don't agree with thatmost of DN's schemes and logic was actually really dumb and full of holesbut perhaps most damningly, at some point you can really tell its author was flying by the edge of his pants, making the twists up as he went along (which he admitted), with no grand shemecompared to that, Liar's Game has a much more deliberate plot, if somewhat more mundane
>>287587962>He tells Fujisawa it'll take some time, and that's his excuse to stall for an hourWhy didn't he just take the money and leave with some excuse like "we'll verify the notes and then give you your 100m later"
>>287595570The anime already looks good to me.
>>287595570>Anon told me it gets better later so I'm going to keep watching!
>>287595541No amount of stacking prisoner's dilemmas on each other to trick stupid people who thinks complexity equals cleverness will undo the stupid premise, laughably written characters, and ridiculous woman brained shitty romance writing.
>>287595410I think the beginning of Death Note is better than those 3 episodes of the LG, but I disagree with the part about it being smarter.
>>287595570But best boy, Hitler’s biggest fag, hasnt shown up yet!
>>287595632>complexity equals clevernessIt doesn't. Complexity without cleverness just means it's convoluted. Liar Game has both.>laughably written charactersNot really. Somewhat bland because 95% of the show's screentime is about the mindgames, but they're fine, have decent development, they're inoffensive at worst and quite decent at best.>ridiculous woman brained shitty romance writingKek. They don't even get together and there's no romance whatsoever.I don't even see the point of discussing this. You haven't read the manga, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. By the way, I'm not even glazing the author, because he misses the mark hard in some of his other manga. It's just that Liar Game ranks quite high in this regard and can actually compete with the best in the medium in that regard.All I can say is that you probably don't care so much for that kind of manga and more about shitposting.
>>287595696I'm in the show?
>>287595710>discussion about ongoing anime>"you clearly haven't read the manga"Genuinely neck yourself. The source material does not cover for the faults of its adaptation.
>>287595710>Not reallyThe teacher and the lawyer are paper thin caricatures. The main duo are unrealistic tropes, though that's more forgivable. Everything in the anime so far makes it impossible to take the supposed cleverness seriously because we're shown people who don't actually act like humans.
>>287595789You're trying to make a point about a 200 chapters work based on its first 6 chapters which are basically unanimously regarded as bad and forgettable by people who all told you it's shit compared to what comes next. You're the one going "errrm let me guess it gets better later lmao you can't fool me this part was shit" when everyone said the same thing.I can name you a bunch of games, moments and schemes in Liar Game that I easily put in my favorite mindgames in this medium, but you'd have no context anyway and probably aren't even a fan of mindgame stories. I'm probably talking to a Death Note + Kaiji anime retard.>>287595825Nao is definitely unrealistic and exaggerated, slightly on purpose? Also retarded to have returned to the game here, no denying that. I think Akiyama is just a chill guy though, nothing crazy about this?Well, I'm not even *really* contesting you here because it's kind of irrelevant to what's good later.
How many eps until the tranny is introduced? She was unironically the best character in the manga
DN focuses too much on asspull and posing to be a valid comparison. This anime looks more like Kaiji.
>>287595921Next or second next.
>>287595905>You're trying to make a point about a 200 chapters workNo you subhuman chimp. The show is three episodes long so far. We are discussing the contents of those episodes. You're the only shithead slavering about muh manga like a retard.
>>287584767holy shit, what a fucking retard. there's a difference in being kind and being retarded. those are two VERY different things. just fucking imagine>a guy stole all your stuff, not even minding your fate after that>mocked you all over>plan to use the money to jack himself off after paying his debt>then you just return EVERYTHING because, uhhhh, you have to be """""kind"""" and """""honest""""" lmaothis is just purely retarded. dropped this disgusting shit.
>>287584767after episode 3 I know two things:this show is 100% garbageand the threads are going to be a lot of fun
>>287595962Retard >>287595570This board's quality has dipped. It's unironically over.
>>287595905>You're trying to make a point about a 200 chapters work based on its first 6 chapters which are basically unanimously regarded as bad and forgettableYeah but the show won't adapt all those 200 chapters, will it? 3 episodes being bad and right at the start is a lot more damning for an anime than 6 mediocre chapters are for a manga. The fact that it's an adaptation only makes it worse, since they apparently could not find a way to improve things for what are supposed to be the episodes that hook people in.
>>287596036I agree, and also stated earlier that the pacing is a pretty big issue since they made the all-important 3 first episodes the worst part.Thankfully the manga corrects course relatively fast and S1 should at least give us one of the highlights >>287595905 for anyone who cares (although people who do probably already read it)
>>287595995The ham at the bottom of the shit sandwich won't erase the shit you chew through to get there. "It gets good later" is a deeply retarded answer to give when the argument is "it's not good now"
>>287595631haha nice one
Good to know GC somehow isn't the worst anime of the season so far (it will probably still be by the end).
>>287596087>food analogy>backpedalingPlease go back to discuss how good Death Note is on MAL or something. Holy shit, this is so fucking over.
>>287596193>I insulted le food analogy and am still spamming le ebin pages from unrelated popular manga, that means I'm smart Let me guess, you're a redditard who got filtered by DN's fake L scene.
>>287595970It's not the most irrational decision. Nao didn't want sensei to suffer from debt, and at the time she had no use for the money.
>>287596281You don't understand, anon. A protagonist should always act exactly how I, the viewer, would act, regardless of their own beliefs, history, or knowledge. They are a vessel for my satisfaction. If a protagonist does something differently from how I would have done it that's bad writing and they're stupid.
>>287587052lmaothe show is really making people have panic attacks
It sucks how many people are going to get reasonably filtered by the intro arc.This might be one time when a Netflix batch release would have been a good thing.
>>287596255>"redditard filtered by DN"Please stop humiliating yourself.
>>287596375You first. And apologise to your parents for being an autistic failure of a human being.
You know what other show has a rough first few episodes but gets really good?
>>287584767has this show distinguished itself from the manga or live action show to justify its existence yet? imo
>>287596413Do you even hear yourself? Holy lunacy.Just pick up good mindgame manga for a change instead of calling me names, maybe someday you'll start genuinely engaging with the shit you watch rather than the board.
>>287596281>Nao didn't want sensei to suffer from debtto be honest, i can see myself doing that. only if........ the sensei is a good, purely kindhearted person. but the thing is, he's obviously not. it's said that wealth or authority shows your true nature. did you see how he act when he thought he got her money? did you hear everything he said he'd do with it?>she had no use for the money.i don't even know where to begin. look, this is just pure retardation. even IF we play along with that, she still has her dad who's dying of cancer. surely there's something you can do with 100mil in hand, at the very least. even putting aside revenge, you shouldn't give scumbags who literally scammed you your money. people like her are the exact reason why those pajeet scammers (still) exist.>>287596347i'm just giving criticism, which makes perfect sense.
>>287596347She's dumb, don't get me wrong, but not for the reasons anon stated.I thought her self-excitement from chanting "50,000 yen" to herself was proof enough: she's a kind soul trying her hardest to stay unaffiliated with mayhem. Her choosing to return the money was a poor decision not because sensei conned her once before, but because she'd falsely assumed there wouldn't be another game and that she wouldn't owe LGT a dime.
>>287596603It's fair criticism. I don't think it's a dealbreaker because Nao has some kind of rationale for doing this, but I can definitely understand seeing that rationale being too weak for a realistic setting. On the other hand Nao returned a damn 100 yen coin on the first chapter so it's definitely in line with her character, and the more pragmatic Akiyama wouldn't have done it if not for Nao asking him to.
>>287594987>crime organizations can't exist because the law says so!!
>>287594987Lol
>>287594987yes it's a dumb premise that makes no senseand yes, the characters don't even remotely act logicallysomething about the sheer retardation is hooking me. that's very much like Death Note.no anime for a while has been so frustrating and infuriating
>>287596722>no anime for a while has been so frustrating and infuriatingI see you don't watch precure.
>>287596542I bet you haven't even read Les Mis.
>>287596814The book or the manga adaptation?
>>287594987That's why I say the mafia is a fictional invention.
>>287596840>reading adaptations
>>287596947>/a/ - Anime and Manga
>>287596968I bet you think Monster is good.
>>287596772>I see you don't watch precure.
>>287597105The manga is quite good, the anime not as much.
>>287597110Anon, I have some news about the "innocent naive girl falls into a predatory scheme by a secret society and is rescued by a charming troubled man with a dark and criminal past whose good side she slowly unveils" anime you're watching.
>>287597140I find it rather heartless and unappealing. Technically competent but artistically lacking. It's well executed but it's just going through the motions. At least it's one of his least dogshit endings.
>>287597255I don't care much for Johan but I like it as an episodic show with self-contained humanist stories and little slices of various cultures and characters. The larger plot might have a few cracks but I would say it's quite earnest and sincere in its appreciation for the simple things in life. It's probably less "passionate" than 20th Century Boys and its cultural references that obviously meant something huge for Urasawa but it's also definitely more consistent.
Underanimation and so far lackluster writing aside it does this show no favour to be airing in the same period as a couple of the year's heaviest hitters.
>>287597501All flops
>>287597501>year's heaviest hittersWhich ones? I haven't followed much of the season
So how is the live action compared to this anime?
>>287597574And as we all know, quality is directly determined by popularity, and Avengers: Endgame is the greatest movie of all time.
>>287597587I'm sure there's some garbage that /a/ will tell you is great like the newest R:Z season or whatever, and I'm sure there's good stuff I'm missing because I don't watch everything, but for me right now it's NGO and Megami “Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai desu ka” Ore “Yuusha no Rokkotsu de”. Ironically both on visual strength alone, though the writing goes in completely different directions. The latter I expected to be just good fun but is legitimately impressive so far in the variety and quality of animation styles, though the plot of the framing device seems predictable. The former is an AOTY candidate for me right now but I understand that Japanese people will hate an anime criticising idol culture and that a lot of viewers might not stomach well a show that has writing this pretentious over visuals edited like a trailer, or that completely disregards any linearity in its narrative. It has a cute purple loli* though so all is forgiven.*She might actually just be short but I don't care, she's best girl regardless to me.
>Marinersfag in round 2FRAUDWATCH
It's amazing how unlikable they made the main girl of this series. Yes, we get it, she's meant to be a pure simpleton but she borders on mentally retarded with her behavior. It's so ridiculous that you can't even suspend your disbelief.
>>287585255>>287586822>>287586843>Owna-san if he loserFunny. Season 2 of either show possibly never ever.
>>287597878I'll keep an eye on those when I get time, thanks for the heads up.
>>287598266it's not just herthe entire thing just makes zero sensewhy are people reacting to postcards they get anonymously?the characters can't see the most obvious rugpulls and "tricks".in episode 3, they spend 10 minutes doing the game finale in the teachers's living room, and he's not even included in most in most of the conversation. They're just in his house.This show is so beyond the pale stone cold shit retarded that it boggles my imagination.i will keep watching
>>287598384>why are people reacting to postcards they get anonymously?Maybe because they also received 100 million yen with it which makes them doubt whether or not they're legally liable (even 1% doubt) or if they'd just get killed by a criminal organization for not complying, which is a very fair assumption to make
>>287598266Nah, she's cute enough. Only angsty peopla and edgy lords would get angry at so much cuteness.
Progress on the bingo?
>>287586257>>287586290Not gonna lie. This made me feel like dropping this.
>>287595253
>>287585561same
every single last person that said dropped will be back next week for more retardation
>>287585589BRO shes so fucking retarded like I refuse to believe there's anyone this fucking retarded or who'd behave like her, you have to have like a 50iq to think like she does.utterly
MASAKA... sonna..... HOW IS IT POSSIBLE!!!!!I WASLE TRICKEDLE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Nao is so funny. Too bad we'll never see the payoff to literally every player knowing she's a gullible retard who trusts everyone animated.
>>287597589There's a live action?
>>287599983She's the world record holder for winning the most Fell For It Again Awards
Nao is the type of japanese housewife that would fall victim to a pyramid scheme or end up in serious debt for X reason, and then start selling her body for penni(e)s behind her husband’s back so as “not to worry him,” thinking “I can pay it back myself”
>>287593986Yes, though Nao does hone her ideals by becoming more pragmatic. By the end she is fine with deceiving for a greater good.
>>287594163lmao'd
>>287595905do people unironically read the rules of this retarded shit when the author can just asspull whenever? lmao
>>287595263Liar Game isn't as emotionally charged or perilous as Death Note thoughI think melodramatic directing wouldn't fit with the chill games
More like Brian Game
How many episodes is this getting? No way they dragged out the beginning this long if they're only doing 13, it's 2 cours at least right?
It won't be the same without the LA version of Fukunaga
>>287600431You don't know what you're talking about retard. All of these rules end up becoming relevant btw
>>287600631Seethe forever that your shitty manga got the kind of shitty adaptation it deserves.
Does the manga eventually explain what's up with the secret organisation behind the game? Does it manage to make it not retarded?
Why does every thread on this website have to have some aggressive shitposter who doesn't even care about the topic
>>287600774It kind of does but it's an afterthought the main draw of the manga is the games themselves.
>>287594226damn the manga is so lazily drawn i didn't notice it while reading, just char faces
>>287594891She looks normal here and not like a horse with long face
I liked the guitar background music when the retard got scammed(again)
How much of the manga is the girl getting scammed into continuing the game?
>>287600631im not talking about this manga in specific, it's the same shit where JJK dedicated one entire episode about reading rules of the game. it's contrived shit made to be broken by the author's asspull every single time, it's never worth reading. I mean you can have rules, but when you do rule dumping, man, what the fuck is this a school assignment? you expect me to read and memorize all this shit when I fully know the rules will be disregarded anyway by the author because he had his retarded way to skirt around them already planned or if worst comes to worst he can just disregard them with a new hidden rule or someshit along these lines.FUCK RULE DUMPS.AND FUCK YOUand fuck this retarded bitch too.
>>287601087This is not JJK. I'm not going to bother explaining to you fucking baboon why these rules are all relevant and not just dumped in this chapter cover but actually explained with different examples, use cases and exploits. This board has fallen to Covid tourists, holy shit. I swear the discourse used to be far more intelligent.
Nao seems like she would be easily tricked into having sex.
stop spoiling the manga nigger faggots, use the spoiler tags
>>287601131Election tourist spotted. Go back to spacebattles.
Why would you expect seasonal newfags who waited for a Liar Game anime to care about mindgame anime and manga? They'd have read it if they did. They watched Death Note and maaaybe Kaiji.
>>287601176>you're not allowed to watch something as it airs>this is a genre for the truly enlightened >real fans would have already read this >if you don't like it it just means you're an idiot who doesn't get it>muh death note muh kaiji muh anime onlies
>>287601189This but unironically, yes.
>>287601189Why would you expect your opinion to be worth anything on a genre you're obviously neither knowledgeable nor interested about?
>>287601176>who waited for a Liar Gameno one waited for this retardit's just on and it's a laugh. deeply fucking dumb as shit
>>287601235What an utterly retarded way to think. Literal pro-ghetto mentality. "You're not allowed to have an opinion on something if you're not immersed in le culture." Must be fun living with such a high level of retardation as to always dismiss everyone who disagrees with you because clearly they're just not as enlightened as you are. Genuinely fuck off.
>>287601265This entire site has fallen. We used to bully retards like you. Your opinion is objectively worthless if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Maybe if you spent less time shitposting like a mongoloid and more time reading shit you'd have something interesting to say on the subject.
>new anime starts airing >people watch it >it's shit so far>"errm, you don't get it sweetie, it's a classic">"you don't understand, the manga is good">"all that stuff that's not in the anime is so much better than Death Note">"Oh my God Death Note fags, Kaijifags, they're all retarded">"they should have read my unpopular as shit manga">"everyone who dislikes this is a deathnotefag who doesn't understand the beauty of the genre"Imagine spending twenty years seething that DN got an anime and your hipster pick didn't, only to get a garbage adaptation because the studio knows it doesn't deserve better.
>>287601320It's not about Death Note in particular, it's about being utterly disinterested in the subject and genre, making hasty and wrong conclusions that have already been called by others (who actually know what they're talking about) and generally speaking refusing to engage at all with this.Thinking Death Note is smart and well written is just a nice Litmus test for your kind of retards, because it shows you have never engaged with the show on any level beyond the most superficial one, otherwise you'd be seeing dozens of glaring holes and flaws. Basically it just exposes you for being a shitposting addicted retard unable to actually carry on and watch stuff.
>>287601320man im not even dissing the animation tbqh, it's fine for what it is, it's not like this is an action mango, but people get really defensive about this shit lmao.it's just an average mangothe first game was literal garbage and anyone could see how it was gonna get resolved, its literal muh first mind games for retards and these faggots are defending it.>its gonna get good now!!!yeah bro I cant wait to see how retarded it'll get, you already showed your hand with the rule dump page (meaning it's fucking garbage already), hopefully the anime will go another route with more of a 'show dont tell' approach, but people with autism need everything to be written verbatim or they dont understand shit.
>>287601375This is a cover page you retard. The rules were explained in the actual chapter with characters interacting and discussing them. It's standard practice to also add a cover chapter with the entire set of rules at some point so the reader can go back to them for easy reference. You would know if you read these kinds of manga.
>>287601289Let me spell it out for you: you're a faggot defending the faggot mentality of "you can't criticise faggots unless you're a cocksucker yourself". You hide behind your fantasy of being an expert in a made up niche to deny the objective flaws of the show whose cock you've decided to deepthroat. You delude yourself into thinking any criticism is born from ignorance as if the rancid smell of the steaming pile of shit you're slobbering over wasn't so putrid as to be instantly recognised for what it is by anyone with a functioning brain. You make continuous appeals to things that are not in the anime yet, and might never be in the anime, like the worst and most retarded redditor defending garbage movies because "the book explains it," in the process disregarding and devaluing the whole point of an adaptation. You're autistically obsessed with the same two shows like they're your fucking bogeyman. You're genuinely, utterly, completely incapable of holding a normal conversation as a human being. You're incapable of even pointing out flaws in the arguments you dislike and instead wave vaguely at the future or try to establish the one you're talking to cannot possibly have proper thoughts, as if you're supposed to focus on the poster and not the post in a fucking anonymous image board. You're borderline schizophrenic in the vein of someone like Francis E. Dec and I suggest you seek professional medical help.
>>287601350>otherwise you'd be seeing dozens of glaring holes and flaws>that I'm not going to point out btw>oh you're pointing out the flaws in Riar Gaymu?>waaaa waaa you're a deathnotefag u don't get it
>My manga art? Shit>My anime? Stills>My premise? Retarded >My characters? One note>My exposition? Dumped Yeah, it's Liar Game time
>>287601420>made up nicheYOU CAN LITERALLY READ THESE COMIC BOOK FOR CHILDRENTHERE AREN'T THAT MANYTHEY'RE NOT EVEN LONG>any criticism is born from ignorance Not any. Yours is.>defending garbage movies because "the book explains it,"You're the one going "let me guess, it gets better later? lmao, gottem" when literally anyone who knows what they're talking about has been saying that from the first day, fucking retard.>devaluing the whole point of an adaptationThat was never the point of the discussion. Your 40 IQ barely sapient ass cannot even be assed to keep something this simple in line.>autistically obsessed with the same two shows I'm merely calling you out for having literally no idea about anything in this genre or the work you're talking about, retard. You're utterly disinterested in having a constructive conversation about anything, much less anime and manga. You're a braindead shitposter ruined by years of browsing and a total refusal to engage with anything seriously, but thankfully you're also the solution to your own problem because faggots like you have brought down this board to its knees and will kill it in no time. You have nothing interesting to say or add, no unique perspective on whatsoever, barely good enough to repeat memes like a fucking chimpanzee. Kill yourself.
>>287601439>that I'm not going to point out btwDo I even need to? Am I talking to actual human beings? I really hope the last time you read Death Note was when you were a teenager (probably still are honestly) because otherwise there's no real excuse for not seeing how retarded Light is. We had a Death Note storytime a few years ago and it was actually comedic how retarded Light was despite being glazed as a genius all the time. To the point where it became an almost endearing character trait, or so it would be if it didn't happen because of the author's own shortcomings.
>>287601459>THERE AREN'T THAT MANYYeah that's what makes your "genre" that one needs to be an "expert" in a retarded idea.
>>287601474>how retarded Light isImagine being so legitimately subhuman that you read all of Death Note and never realise Light being a retard too full of himself is the whole crux of the story.
>>287601478It's not about being an expert, it's about giving enough of a shit about it to engage with it on some level instead of just shitting memes.>>287601493This is the first answer retards give when people point out the plans in Death Note make no sense whatsoever and it's fundamentally wrong because 1. it's not just Light, this extends to L and everyone else, 2. the narrative keeps pretending otherwiseI give up. Seems like the only place where one can find some sort of decent quality discussion are storytimes nowadays.
thread was a lot of funcan't wait for episode 4
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Liar Game. The mind games are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of advanced psychology most of the twists will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Nao's optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from ages 3 and up literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these games, to realize that they're not just smart- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Liar Game truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Nao's existencial catchphrase "I was lied to," which itself is a cryptic reference to my single mother getting scammed out of our savings. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Shinobu Kaitani's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. joy And yes by the way, I DO have a Liar Game tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
>>287601289>This entire site has fallen. We used to bully retards like you.did this site really use to just shout down anyone with the wrong opinion instead of engaging with a shred of intelligence?because I recall people being snarky and direct, but also insightful and crafty rather than dismissivetrolling is a subtle art after allif most people really had been like you back then, then that group growing smaller in today's 4chan would have been an improvement sadly, that's not the caseall subtlety is gone and we're left with choleric yelling jocks who ruin all the fun
>>287601507>it's about giving enough of a shit about it to engage with it on some level instead of just shitting memes>unless you're talking about Liar Game >you're not allowed to criticise my sacred cow>it doesn't count because it just doesn't okay>go read the manga>you can't talk about the anime without reading the manga>you're not allowed to say anything bad about the anime because I like the manga
I was too low iq to understand contraband.I hope seeing it play out in anime format will make it easier to understand.
>>287601457KINO! now I can turn my brain off and enjoy this deep animango while feeling very smart!!!!!!
>>287601474>participating in storytime/generalsfound the plebbitor
>>287601667uhmm go back to read deathnote and that other anime you tertiary! liar game is above you clearly with its nuances and heavy characterization and smart games for people smart such as me.
I get that some anons don't like this series. I don't like the retardation of the characters or the production values so far either. But I've decided to trust the manga reader anons and wait for the real games to start.Why do the anons who don't like it not just leave instead of annoying the people here?
>>287601832I watch all slop, I'm still watching since the mangareaders promised it will get better and I'm a guillible retard.
>>287601832Because my enjoyment for how retarded this faggot is far outweighs my all around rather mild botherment about the series. >>287601507Don't you have a basilisk to appease, rationalfag scum?
>>287589933was kind of amazed to see people so dumb they need AI to translate manga.the words are on the page. they're not going anywhere. literally just use a dictionary
>>287584767The glacial pacing yet again ruined this episode. Even if it looks like crap, it should at least try to keep the pace up. There is absolutely no reason to watch this over reading the manga. What a shame.
The real Liar Game was the troll posts we made along the way.
>>287600465if spacechem's music can make you feel like a boss while nerding about with abstract logic puzzles, then it's possible to improve anything with the right presentation without detracting from its essence
God, why are these threads so shit?
>>287603057Because Liar Game is a "smart" manga which attracts obnoxious shitheads who think reading it is a mark of their intellect.
>>287603354youre just not smartest like me ur dumb lol idve raed this and other detctive manga (like conan) and ure just a brainlet who cant appreciate the media u lack LITREACY

What was the lawyer guy talking about when he said it was ridiculous to think she could sue or call the cops? I was expecting him to justify that claim but he just sort of moved past it like we're supposed to accept that as an obvious fact
Too bad this season won't get to edgy Hitler guy.

Expected the 2nd game to be much better but it sounds boring as shit, dropped
>>287607035>>287607301>>287608013Correct. Don't listen others
>>287609441Anon, she's underaged. Indians aren't white enough to rape her yet.
>>287609940Let's be real. She isn't young enough to be raped by timmies. It has to be India.
>>287609940What if she dresses up like a monitor lizard?

>>287590205Pst! Anons! I have a guaranteed way to win this game. Just give me your IP addresses and we can prove we're not ESL!
>>287585764The right amount is here, if you wanna see a truly still animated show, go watch the Usogui OVA, that shit is truly all stills. I think visually, I'm getting everything I want out of this, if you read the manga, there's not even a lot in terms of actual context to animate, as opposed to something like Deathnote which has a much higher emphasis on drama which actually calls for the animation to be heavier.
So I'm guessing this is the Orb or Darwin Jihen of the season?Lauded seinen manga with an adaptation that's more like a slideshow and has a hard time justifying it's existence
>>287584767>>287585589Why is she so ugly?
rather disturbing to me how many people are getting emotionally upset and angry about Nao. is it cause they're all poor and it irrationally triggers them to see such financial frivolity and from a woman no less? the response reminds me of the discourse about reading books, how so many people now refuse 1st person novels because "but I would never do that". even if you don't agree with her it's like they can't even imagine that her idealism will be exploited for intrigue and challenged in the game mechanics to come - more bizarre, "I want an OP mc like Light" you have one! it's the deuteragonist!merciful protags are not exactly an anomaly either! yeah the guy was a dick but she can't sleep at night knowing another human will suffer because she chose not to help - not uncommon, extend the analogy to revenge/murder and you see it all the time
>>287596603no, rewarding the sensei for being good but simply playing the game reluctantly is an even more bland cliche and neuters the point of her action/character
>>287618385Rather disturbing how you type like you're too young to be here.
>>287618385>is it cause they're all poor and it irrationally triggers them to see such financial frivolityno, it's because her action is dumb beyond words
>>287618385Yeah it's not exactly unrealistic to think one would save that guy from what's basically a death sentence even after being on the other end of the barrel. Not many people would, very few in fact, but some would, and she's obviously that kind of person.
>>287620510I perfectly understand that she would, but I also think it's fun to laugh at her for being stupid.
All the sceens screenshots look like they have fucked up aspect ratios but they not
>>287620620That's a fair assessment. Practically speaking, someone who tried to kill you doesn't deserve your mercy. Just saying that doesn't make it a writing flaw though.
>>287620667I have far more of a problem with how cartoonishly evil the teacher was. I believe he'd try to scam her out of the money, but the full blown memefaced laughter and mockery feels a bit much.
>>287585255they seriously spend 3 episodes on the first game? wtf
>>287620797duh how lese r we supposed to understand he's a piece of shit?????????? he needs to be over the top evil so he can be redeemed 100% pr merge for good looks later. not making him comically evil would devalue nao being a retarded bitch, ure stupid and lack mangfa litereralcy
>>287584767Must protect
Huh, I somehow missed for 2 weeks that this anime is already out. Caught up now. Been a while since I read the manga though, thus only remember a few key moments like the trap
>>287603354rather the opposite. It attracts insecure faggots who thinks everyone who doesn't complain about smart people is an arrogant genius that laughs behind his back.Absolutely no one ever, after reading stuff like Death Note, Akagi or Liar Game, ever said "I'm so smart for liking this!", unless it's a bait response to insecure faggots like you
>>287585255>When your girlfriends bull gifts you a Nintendo Switch
>>287620797Completely agreed. Some people would laugh in the face of the guys they scammed and "killed" through debt... But it shouldn't be this teacher guy.
I get that Nao is a gullible idiot, but when it was revealed that her lawyer tricked her into coming to the location of the second game, why didn't she just turn 360° and walk away? Did she feel threatened or unsafe? Did she feel so utterly defeated that she just accepted her fate and went along with it despite knowing it's a bad idea? I can't get a read on what she was thinking here.
>>287623043Found the retard.
>>287623798>Did she feel so utterly defeated that she just accepted her fate and went along with it despite knowing it's a bad idea?Literally built for rape doujins.
This is Kaiji except it's utterly retarded. I've heard the games get good eventually (First one definitely wasn't), so I'll try to endure for now.
>>287611524I give up, I capped out at 24 and I hope 25 isn't something retarded like the blurriness of the image or "we lied when we said there are 25 lies".
>>287626000Alright I saw here >>287614550 what I missed. Man.
>>287626000You found them all, you just circled two in one. The microphone is bent, but the speaker's suit also has buttons on it when it doesn't in the top
I hope this anime get season 2 and circle of friends moment get animated
>>287585255>>287586822>>287586843If I had the editing skills I'd love to edit his scenes over the Caine "I am White" monologue.
>>287623798You have to remember that she is a woman, not a man
