End of the episode.This means the episode ends with chapter 13.Number of pages and chapters adapted from the Liar Game manga for each episode:>Episode 1: 46+30 = 76 (Chapters 1-2)>Episode 2: 20+17+21 = 58 (Chapters 3-5)>Episode 3: 31+40 = 71 (Chapters 6-7)>Episode 4: 29+19+19 = 67 (Chapters 8-10)>Episode 5: 19 + 17 + 19 = 55 (Chapters 11-13)Only 4 chapters (18, 19, 18, 25 pages) left for this volume/game.

They're now playing tricks on the audience.

>>287888891Yes. They said it would be released 45 minutes ago.

Given the release time (on the hour, effectively) I'm guessing Crunchyroll has a new release time for it going forward.

ok lemem guessTHE BIG BAD WAS LE OLD GUY LE ALL ALONG!!!BUT WAIT IT WASNT ACTUALLY LE OLD LE GUY!!!!IT WAS LE MC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>287890370Le maybe.
Anime watcher hereI read the whole thing in a week and although Akiyama asspulls are fun, by the end of the whole thing my favorite character was Nao. Her blind positivity makes the later games interesting.I hope in the epiloge it shows that she had a lot of babies with Akiyama
>>287890454>Anime watcher here>I read the whole thing in a weekkekYeah Nao grows a lot. She might actually be quite smart taking all this into account. I wish she had a romance with Akiyama but despite the artstyle there's none of that in the manga
>>287890454>by the end of the whole thing my favorite character was NaoTHAT'S WHAT I'M SAYINGalso the game of the pic you posted felt like a celebration of her, and a better conclusion than what we actually got in the end
>>287890502She has tons of highlight moments honestly. End of Contraband game will be a pretty big one already.
>reveal was in-person rather than on the phone like the mangacome on mang
>>287890527Did they made lots of bad changes so far?
seems there's an even more retarded character
>>287890210>falling for lies in the liar game

Being Nao is suffering.

I call dibs on glasses girl

This got me thinking: Don't Japs have their "signature stamps" (or whatever they're called) on them at all times? Why not use that?
>>287890688Silly anon, you're meant to call all women girls so that they feel youthful
>The evil guy was... a tranny all along!Damn, no wonder this story is from 2005.
>>287890708From what I understand, those have three degrees of validity (four if you count artistic stamps, literally just for signing art with no legal value) and they tend to keep the highest one at home
>>287890734not quite, just a crossdresser

Okay, they adapted the best part, I'll keep watching...>no note-taking...begrudgingly.
>>287891003This reminds me of that game, Twelve Minutes.
Thoughts on tranny pits?
Thoughts on tranny topping?
>>287891057You got Li'R'd
She's precious and must be protected at all costs.
What a shit twist
>>287891003Looks like she's been watching too much re:zero.Has nothing to do with the series or lyrics.
Cutieyama
>>287891443When is Nao gonna get kabedon'd by him?
Wtf was that lmao
>>287891419You only say this because you suspected him due to the opening.
>>287891419>too much focus on her out of everyone else>likes to dom >>287891227>taller than all the other women >>287890595It was foreshadowed, but you were too rarted to pick up on it
>>287890734>>287890817animeonly hereI thought these two were in a separate 8ppl team with 3 members of them still present with the troon trying to gaslight nao into getting spooked by 15 and change her vote somehow so they could secure the win and pin breaking the contract on her
Why did he lie to Nao about S and M?
>>287891583Would you explain what it mean to your 10 yo daughter
I don't know what S and M mean? I thought it was about cloth size
>>287891653This anon? chou M

>>287891779It was between two famous Japanese baseball players.

>>287891479She's so dumbcute
>>287891653
>>287891985I love the two guys smiling in the back.
Okay, I'll admit, this did need good animation to be good.I really thought "it's not really an action-based series, so it doesn't need much".But it does need something like Death Note's direction, where even something as mundane as writing names is given flair.It needs motion, it needs exaggeration, it needs showmanship.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAHNiJ9T2-M
>>287890817So I take it he's the actual 8th member of the team that Akiyama enlisted in secret?
>>287892036that fucking translation note...
>>287892036desu I think they just need to crank up the pacing
>>287892036The animation was passable thus far but this week definitely looked like a cheap hentai episode. The direction is a bigger issue because there has been 0 of it so far, it's just shot reverse shot with an occasional wide shot, all in the blandest lighting possible. Seeing how this is episode 5, I doubt we'll be getting anything much better at this point, in fact I know that, so we just enjoy what we get with lowered expectations.
>>287892286>we just enjoy what we get with lowered expectationsDoesn't work for my autism
>>287892036Yeah the delivery was pretty bland ngl
>>287892313treat as a supplement to the source material then
I'm bored to tears. This is what I saw some people praise as a good mind game kind of story? Is the manga that much better or something?
>>287892375>Is the manga that much better or something?Yes >>287892036
>>287892036it needs good direction not good animation. Even a show with bad animation can be great if the angles, lighting, color choices and other elements are striking. These type of mindgame series need jojo level of over the top direction to work.
>>287892375The animation in the manga is better
>>287892375If Death Note had this level of presentation nobody would be talking about it.
>>287892375The actual substance in a lot of manga like this is actually very dry when you analyze it. They revel a lot in heightened and exaggerated tension, which this adaptation lacks a lot. It's like making a thriller but without any stakes.
>>287892375just come back and watch episode 15 or smthThe later games has less public information and more actions that you can do
>>287891886>Akiyama is into dumb naive girlsHe's just like me
This is what this series needshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iakNquyYQwA&t=58shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry2kf5lDrAs&t=7s
>Akane banashi, a show about people sitting on a pillow and talking to an audience of geriatrics, got a high quality adaptation>Liar Game, a high-stakes mind game series, got a hentai-tier anime
>>287892375You are just not smart enough to appreciate the mind games.
>>287890190>I lied about being a woman ehehehUhhh, what a bigot.
>>287892036are we really surpised? last week's episode had some AI generated backgrounds. This shit is so phoned in probably no one in the production gives a shit about it.
the tranny is the best character. you'll see
>>287892036In the manga he looks androgynous, in the anime it's just a woman without hair + a 100% woman's voice, so the reveal come off cheap. I remember entertaining a though that X was a woman, but nah that can't be since all women we saw are obviously 100% anime women. But then no, this woman is actually a man.
>>287892763>Moderately popular ongoing Shonen Jump manga gets good stuff>Old, niche and forgotten manga gets crap
>>287892036Can't believe I'm saying this but even the live action is better and I hate live action adaptations.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdOKvduLE6I
>>287892763tbf I imagine there is more opportunity for visual flair when you have a storytelling/performance element
>>287893126kaiji has better animation than akane and kaiji is the same genere as liar's game. there really is no excuse.
>signed with blood fingerprintdoesnt this mean its still valid but this retard will also face charges for forgery?
>>287893053You say this, but most moderately popular Shonen Jump manga gets crap actually.Also Liar Game is waay more popular, it got like 2 films, 2 tv series and a gook dorama.
>>287892949damn
>>287893181>ask geminiyep. is the author and this guy retarded? he uber fucked himself over for no reason
>>287893063>not a cute trannydropped
>>287893181Honestly would be more surprised if the napkin contract was binding to begin with
>>287893152Kaiji has visual metaphors to adapt, unlike Liar Game(I assume the visual metaphors in Kaiji were part of the manga.)
>>287893181Maybe it's the reveal next week. I mean who the fuck signs a contract with fingerprints. But if that was Akiyama's keikaku all along.
further proof that all trannies should be slain post-haste
>>287893351you can see here >>287892036 that today's reveal had some interesting angles and expressions to adapt but instead they chose to ignore them and go for something more plain and boring because it'd be more easy to draw. Even if you think the original manga is not as "flashy" as others the director is still chosing repeatedly to remove the little flair it actually had.
>>287893262>ask gemini>is the author and this guy retarded?What did he mean by this?
>>287893553yeah that's a good pointNow that you point it out, yeah, they aren't even changing the expression on the faces. They are even reusing the same angle. If they had a better budget like you suggest, then they would be able to add different facial expressions and more varied angles (rather than paste the same character model). That alone would make it a lot more engaging without affecting the grounded tone.Next episode I'll pay attention to how static the animation is.
>>287893856actually I guess these faces are slightly different
>>287893856>you need big budget to make different facial expressions
>>287893359Fuck knows but its legally binding so lol
>>287892949oh fuck
>>287893928substitute it for more ambitious lead, more production time etc.
>>287893313You technically don't even need a napkin contract, spoken contracts can be considered valid, it's just to avoid some issues that can come up from not having any record of it (and you usually hire a lawyer to avoid the issues that can come up from you and other randos making a contract. Also signatures are mostly symbolic, illiterate people signing with an X is considered valid because the important part is that there were witnesses that saw you being told "signing this means you consent" and then saw you sign.The biggest legal complication bringing this to court would be that you'd be revealing you had access to cash and didn't declare it to Japanese IRS
Is it your first low budget adaptation of well known source material, anons? Madhouse = outsourced.Other such adaptations just by default made by soulful studios.
>>287894056Cant believe they announced a s2 for this
Nao is so fucking dumb, I love her
>20 years since story was written>100 million yen is basically still the same value
>>287894301Narrator: In today's money, 100 million yen would be 100 million yen
>>287890370Lol. Retard.
>>287893553You know this happens ALL the fucking time with anime adaptations, right? You're incredibly lucky if the anime doesn't start butchering your panels and the interesting perspectives you put in. Sometimes it's because of anime limitations but more often it's just laziness.
>>287893063Is it? Uninspired direction is one thing but what really matters here is the content of the games and tricks. Of course maybe it's not the same when watching weekly and maybe for that experience alone you'd be more into exciting direction choices than the mindgames as opposed to someone watching the entire thing fast and getting to immerse themselves in the mindgames more.
>>287892416Thing is, Death Note is pants on head retarded. Good presentation alone shouldn't put it so high in people's minds.>>287892375Maybe reading is a better way to get immersed in these mindgames, I don't know. I can't say anything about whether you're bored or not but if we're just discussing the tricks, analysis and the potential of those games (minority is still one of the simpler ones btw) it's easily one of the best in the medium, far above the shit that gets praised.
>>287892949Grim.
>>287894702Death Note came out in what, 2005? It was baby's first mind game + the iconic presentation that elevated it way beyond that. If it looked like Lair's Game nobody would remember it
It's kinda sad Squid Game is what became the face of "muh mindgames" genre instead of Liar Game, which it ripped off shamelessly (except without the actual mindgames)
>>287894792Yeah that's kind of my point if you think about it, it's holding up because we were all teens when we read it. Actually most people didn't read it they watched it. And we were more focused on the Light power fantasy than the actual intellectual content (which to be fair isn't REALLY the focus, it's just a shonen meant to entertain some kids and teenagers).But somehow it seems a decent amount of people still see DN with rose tainted glasses, probably either because they never revisited it/don't remember it or because they're still quite superficial and just care for Light and L having sick anime hairstyles and looking cool with red eyes and shit.
>manga is Liar Game>anime is now Lair's GameI rike
God I fucking hate Nao so much
>>287894805i assume people associate squid game more with money games than mind games
God I fucking love Nao so much
>>287893181The fingerprint is irrelevant, that contract would still 100% be binding, at least in America. Signing with a fake name doesn't mean you didn't sign it>>287893313It would be, again at least in America. You don't have to have fancy notary documents for a contract to be binding. All you need is an offer, consideration, and acceptance. The contract had all three and everyone who signed is bound
>>287895021how are you gonna prove I signed it if it doesn't have my name or my signature?
>>287895021I mentioned the print since you can identify him based off it
>>287895056The 8 other witnesses
>>287895098What if they're colluding against me with malicious intent.
>>287895151You'd have to prove that. Even if you're innocent until proven guilty, affirmative defenses have to be proven. You can't just claim that there's a conspiracy and then rely on the prosecution to prove there isn't one.
Shit, I had no idea there was a Liar Game anime out, finally. Is it any good though?
>>287895280>Is it any good though?'fraid so
>>287895205Wrong. Legal systems generally don’t rely on witness testimony alone when the stakes are high. Cross-examination, documentary evidence and expert testimony are used to test whether witnesses are telling the truth or conspiring.
When are Nao and Akiyama going to plap plap plap
>>287895336You have no idea what you're talking about. The stakes of a case doesn't effect the evidence that the court relies on. The court always relies on all the evidence available. >Cross-examination, documentary evidence and expert testimony are used to test whether witnesses are telling the truth or conspiring.This is genuinely a meaningless sentence. Not only is it totally irrelevant to the episode (what would the documentary evidence reveal and what experts are there to testify on what?) but cross-examination is just when the opposing council asks a witness questions. Also, contract enforcement isn't "high stakes". It's a civil breach which means the standard of guilt is LOWER than in criminal cases. Beyond a preponderance of the evidence as opposed to beyond a reasonable doubt.
>>287895280adaptation leaves much to be desired and you're probably better off rereading the manga. still, it's not terrible and spurs discussion of a classic, i'll probably watch through to the end of the season
>>287894568okay... and? do you expect us to clap and celebrate it?
>>287895412You're a lawlet and a niggerfaggot. Courts don’t just passively 'rely on all evidence', they weigh it. That’s why credibility, corroboration and consistency matter. Saying stakes don’t affect scrutiny is retarded. in practice, judges and lawyers probe harder when collusion or fraud is alleged because witness testimony alone can be unreliable. Cross-examination isn’t just 'asking questions', it’s the mechanism to expose bias, contradictions, and collusion. Pretending it’s irrelevant ignores its entire purpose.And dismissing documentary evidence or experts as irrelevant is nigger retarded. If identity is disputed, handwriting experts, forensic document examiners, or digital records can absolutely tip the balance. Courts don’t stop at "eight people said so". You’re oversimplifying civil standards. Preponderance of the evidence doesn’t mean 'any testimony wins', it means the judge weighs all evidence and credibility. If eight witnesses are colluding, their testimony isn’t automatically persuasive, it can collapse under scrutiny.
>>287895365neverliars game is bereft of the nefarious sex agenda
>>287895567Not really, I just felt like highlighting it because I feel like not enough people complain about anime adaptations. Even the so-called "good ones" are usually a pretty big downgrade. As for Liar Game I can't say if the anime is a decent way to experience it, probably not so much.
>Hahaha I signed with someone else's name>Yes, but you used your own fingerprintI don't think that guy's as smart as he thinks he is.
>>287890190I was fooled.I immediately sensed that she was an evil woman, but did not expect that she was actually an evil man...
This proactivity from her was really obvious though
>>287895802s/he jumps up real quick when they start talking about ecksu, suspicious as fuck.
>6 hours without smartphoneThis is a violation of human rights
>>287890817Nao spent the entire game watching this guy chilling, hilarious
>>287895833What are you talking about, she's so nervous about X!
>>287895802To be fair they made him look too womanly in the anime compared to the manga.
>all the cute girls instantly gone
Akiyama wasn't fooled for a moment, he could smell the testosterone
>>287895862Nao is so funny, I wish i knew someone like irl.
>the broad shoulders, the unnaturally high pitch in its voice...
>>287891985Nice save from Akiyama, truly a con artist
>>287895574Kek, nice job googling a law textbook and dumping the first things you read. Too bad that's not what we're talking about. If 8 witnesses claim you signed a contract, and you claim without evidence that they're all actually out to get you, that's not changing anything. The contract is binding and you can't prove otherwise
>>287893964>substitute it for more ambitious lead, more production time etc.the word you're looking for is "competence"
The one thing I'm curious about is how xe convinced the rest of the members to vote exactly how xe wanted
>>287896006When he told her to only focus on 15, he used his carsalesman skills to convince everyone.
>>287895862Imagine having this cute girl just absolutely bore her eyes into you for days straightI dunno how he kept his cool
She really went to the venue again, this retard
>>287895891lol
>I'm going to get my vote to go last so X will prematurely start laughing and reveal their plan just before my vote is talliedWhat a plan
Based lawyer telling it like it is
Nao needs to be locked in my basement for her own protection
Naosisters...
The old man had a better evil laugh
>>287896156
>aura farms the entire episode>not a single voice lineName a better character
>>287895891twintails...
>>287895891Not an accident, maximising the number of potential X suspects worked in tranny's favour.
>>287896231laughed out loud
>>287896006You can already figure it out if you think about it, but it's going to be revealed next episode anyway.
>>287896203>images you can hear
>>287896231>aura farms the entire episodewhat the FUCK does this mean?
these threads are nostalgic it's just like when the manga was coming out kek
This anime feels so dry, my god
>>287896339>t. Nao
With this pace i doubt we are gonna see rat boy this season
>>287896231What are the shades for?
>>287896581To act shady.
>>287896581To cover up the fact... he's always lying... to women
>>287896561Nah we're absolutely getting him. It's the big hook.
I remember really liking the manga (except for the ending, of course) but I simply can't bring myself to watch this past episode 1. Why the fuck did they have to give the worst adaptation of the year to this of all things?
>>287896104Purely for aura btw. The timing of his vote is irrelevant, but delaying it for last means he'll get that Perry Mason moment
>>287896581can't show your eyes when you play poker..
>>287896581Rule of cool
>>287892036The manga did use the lack of background to amplify the menace.
Oh no, Akiyama couldn't have seen that coming...>>287890190I fucking knew it.
>>287896581https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2LTL8KgKv8
>>287896231Dude looks like a random nerd, It's hard to take him seriously.
>>287896161It is always the sexiest one.
>>287896827It does matter though? If 3 saw he voted "yes", he would stay silent. Now I wonder what would not Takumi do if Nao didn't barge in and 3 didn't out himself.Also I wonder if not Takumi conspired with both remaining players or just 15. I guess it needs to be both to guarantee 3 coming out, but something is telling me he only conspired with 15 who will happen to be a reverse trap and this is somehow a justification for not being X.
Also from the start I suspected there were 2 teams and the other team could have 10 players, I am really disappointed it isn't the case.
>>287897146That's the cool thing with these games, they have lots of potential different outcomes and attempts at exploits. Wouldn't mind playing some of them IRL.
>>287897146For what possible reason would they dilute the winnings between 2 extra people just to have a 3/2 split in the 2nd round?
>>287896561That game is the season finisher and if we're being realistic the last game since this is probably not getting a second season.
>>287897229Yeah, recruiting the remaining players in the final round makes more sense
>>287897060>not Takami*idk why did I say Takumi lol, obviously I meant Akiyama
The dumbest woman in all of Japan?
>>287897205I don't know if it will be the normal after this episode, but it's rather boring that we didn't get to see any moves throughout the game, we just kind of breezed into the conclusion and now it's time for the reveal
>>287897363Just imagine how easy it would be to trick her into sex
>>287897390Depends, some games are far longer than others, even to the point of dragging out maybe. I expect these threads to talk about Contraband Namek. I guess this one game doesn't have so much to develop beyond "how do you form a group to ensure your win with numbers" because it doesn't have any mechanics beyond voting yes or no.
Also what was the point about other player coming back to the mention, I thought it was supposed to hint Akiyama about the 2nd team
>>287897390Some of the later games are insanely long and you get to see almost every move every side makes.
>>287897473>coming back to the mansion*fuck my dyslexia
>>287888493>>287888459>>287889003>The funniest part is that we had 7 (seven) dub releases since airing timeWhy isn't it more popular? Because there was a live show in the past? Because it requires a brain to comprehend?
>>287897408she's mid. maybe 5.
>>287897491what website/programme is this?
>>287890734>>287890793Well…
>>287897932it's just a theme from here: https://userstyles.world/style/16982/nyaa-oled-pro-deep-black-dark-themeI hated the original theme and found this one to be quite pleasing to the eye
>>287898011they always portray troons as evil.
The pacing is too slowThey should have gone for ending 2 cours at chairs instead if this
>>287898086Fuck no, Musical Chairs is peak of the mind games genre and deserves a non-rushed adaptation.
What's the thread winning criteria? Least amount of posts? First to archive?
>>287890454>eheh Akyama san I played the stupid all the time bacause it was all my keikaku to have your babies
>>287898121Based chairs enjoyer
>>287898051thats reasonable as long as there hot
Tokuchi Toua > Akiyama
>>287898011Does it ever explain how that girl that gave her check to Fukunaga failed to see the dudes massive tits?
>>287898051It reflects real life accurately
>>287898309Iirc she said he looked like a man so he must have dressed accordingly. I think there was a brief scene where it shows him wearing a suit to look like the Liar Game employees.
>>287898309Tits disappear when you wrap them in bandages
>>287898011>Q. If you're injecting yourself with estrogen, then why do you get so violent?>A. I don't know what you're talking about!heh
>>287897559perfect. mid women are the best fucks
>this threadGuess I'm the only one liking it. I found this episode thrilling.
>>287898903Anime-only?
>>287898944Yes. I do agree with anon who said the panelling was WAY better on the reveal in the manga, but the story was still very interesting.
>>287898903I'm confused. This poster is obviously Nao, but Nao would never leave her post's Name field blank.
>>287899036AHAHAHAHA YOU FOOL! I'm actually a man!
Let's laugh at a dumb girl humiliating herself: the anime.
bald ass nigga
>he voted?>reveal my YES
I want 2nd season of One Outs but I don't want a sloppy job like this
>Nao constantly getting help from Akiyama>Akiyama shower sceneI'm starting to think the dude who said this was aimed at women had a point
>>287886472>this frameLooks like shit
>>287899376lmao
Quiz for anime-onlies: Which of these DO happen later in the series?>Akiyama's homosexuality mentioned>sex with Fukunaga mentioned>Nao's period mentioned
>>287899471>>Akiyama's homosexuality mentionedThe only reasonable choice, but it's probably none of them.
>>287899471Is the time limit end of the whole story or end of the anime? Either way, my guts tell me: No, Yes, Yes. Will screencap and come back when the final episode airs
>>287899506>>287899516>it's probably none of them>my guts tell me: No, Yes, Yes.No, exactly one of them does actually happen.
>>287898209I don't know how many times I had my mind blown reading through that game in the manga. It took a long ass real life time but it was so worth it.
>>2878994711. No way this yume series reveals MC's knight in shining armor is gay.2. Maybe.3. I'm going with this.
>>287899531You've dropped this hint, but not the answer, so I'm gonna assume I get to change my prediction: I was feeling like B was "maybe" and C was "likely", so I'm changing my answer to No, No, Yes
>>287899471Period seems like something that could be relevant for mindgames
>>287899471Bottom two will happen I'm guessing
>>287899471It's all three isn't it?
>>287898309Women are retarded. That's why Fukunaga needed to be a troon.
Would Nao make for a good wife?
The other thread won. You niggers all owe me 100 million yen.
>>287899291how is that any different from Kaiji?
>>287900536Kaiji got his shit together by the third episode without having anyone to piggyback him despite being the bigger loser. But Nao? Not a single thought has ever entered that dumb bitch's head.
Will Nao EVER do what Akiyama tells her?
AOTY
This was an okay twist back when trannies weren't commonplace.
Prediction: he's not X
What's the point of making them stay at the venue and not letting them leave if they get to keep their phones and can call the police or something
"Let's not talk to each other" says person who talks to you
>mfw X does nothing
Poor guy just wants to eat in peace
>>287895802>Choker to cover Adam's apple>Thin eyesIt was so obvious in hindsight.
>>287891886I wish this series would end with him conning her out of all her money because she's still hopelessly naive but I know it won't
wtf bros it was le hot blonde girl... that troonedo ut?????????????
>OH NO THE GUY WITH SHADES VOTED YES!!!>ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
masaka dont tell me... it was the hot girl with the deep voice??
>>287890190BRUH
>>287896178I AM SILLY AND CHOLERIC
>>287898011>actually cute in the mangaWould
I wish Fukunaga was voiced by a man
>>287895975What a fucking biblical beast
>>287896134This is literally his catchphrase btw
>>287898121based
>>287899471>>Nao's period mentioned
>>287901406Smartphones didn't even exist when the original was serialized. This shit enraged me.
Sex with Nao
oh no who could have seen this coming!
>>287897408> Did you think I wouldn’t put a hole in the condom?!> GAHAHAHAHA!
>>287890801Heard that. Also saw the subbers chickened out of translating it.
>>287902717Kek I'll go fix it in aigis. Nice catch.
>>287892036Why is she holding a pregnancy test in the last panel of the manga?
>there is a trap in this gameDUH we noticed bruh
>dumping musical chairswhy are you posting spoilery stuff anon? anime will definitely cover this
>>287902947This is Auction Poker, but I have no idea why that guy is dumping this either
Isn't she a trans woman? Why did she say this?
>>287902947I'm gay and retarded
>>287902976He's a newhalf. I.e. transvestite, not a transgender.
>>287902976he was only woman for his con-game! he doesn't actually think that he's a woman trapped in man's body (LMAO!)
>>287900695yeah but once the intense gambling game ends he loses all his spare money on normal gambling and beomes a disfunctional slob
Nao would make the perfect wife
>>287902976she knew she needed to dumb it down for Nao
>>287903032yes>honey boss asked me to turn in for the night at work... we have to do some crunch time for the new client! *you tell her this while you have a hooker under your arm, and a plastic bag with condoms and vodka in your free hand*>also don't wait for me, you can go to sleep, I'll make sure to work extra hard while thinking about you ;) *as you tell her this you're groping the tits of the hooker*>o-ok take care husbando! *wow he's such a hard worker!!!!*
>H-how did you know I was X?
>>287903116how many hours in mspaint?
Will next week's episode trigger some trannies and cause a social media seethe campaign?
bros I really liked how the villain took the time to explain exactly in detail how he did the thing! He revealed everything! Do you think Nao understood it?I really liked how the author here assumed the readers have the same IQ as Nao!
>>287903169Uhmm bro you don't understand, lair's game is certified ludokino, it is the thinking men manga and it's 100% better than DEATH AND KAIJI, bleh now that's some room temperature IQ animes....luckily for us, the real thinkers, we have lieares game.You see what was not revealed is that Mr. X got the 100m check while dressed as a man... then he literally pulled a precure doki doki transformation, and in a matter of seconds became a hot girl! This was explained in the manga of course, but you as an anime watcher (uh oh, secondary!) might've missed this epic moment.Another thing that wasn't shown in the anime is how Mr. X (pls dont confuse him with the boss from resident evil) planned to actually win from the start! see his plan was to actually humiliate Nao from the start, because she's a dumb woman! lol! Nothing was left to luck or chance here (Mr.x and our MC have precognition after all!) But our MC also has better smell sense... and with it he sniffed out Mr. X's gapewound!This of course wasn't shown in the anime... but you see all of this really makes you see how HIGH BROW this is lol.
>>287898903unironically the main character is so fucking stupid that its hard to enjoy
>>287895802saw through the tranny right away, there was something uncanny about him and he got too much focus and the part with X sealed it.
>>287898968Liar Game can be carried through writing alone
>>287900695Kaiji does some Nao tier shit in the first two or three episodes. This takes a bit longer to change (it does) but Akiyama is there from the start too for balance.
>>287886472episode 6 was good. I was happy to see the retardation return in full force>tell the evil lawyer their entire plan>a roped area has been arranged so this loser can participate in the finale>trannie reveals her entire plot before the final vote is countedsweet, sweet retardationanime of the season. by far.
>>287892036it's just lazy and static like they are following the live action and not the damn manga pages where there is the art direction you expect
Gloating the moment you won after pulling an elaborate triple scheme is something that would definitely happen. In fact that's how Light gets caught in DN (and it was one of the least stupid moments)
>>287892036korean and chinese animators can't foreshorten, anon
>>287903364Kaiji's problem is that he is normally bereft of ambition, procrastinating, and even kinda naivehis ultimate survivor circuits and intelligence only activate when he's in deep shitthis drives him towards self-destructive urges, even though he doesn't realize this himselfhe wins, but the moment he's out of danger he slips back into being kind of an idiot who still struggles with how to live his lifein short, he's a compelling characterwhereas Nao just somehow has a normal life despite being too dumb to liveand it's other characters that continuously have to bail her outshe basically never reflects on thisshe's boring
>>287903545That's a completely different subject and something that gets developed more over the course of the series. Of course I also agree that FKMT characters are on a whole other level even if LG has decent ones. What I'm addressing is that Kaiji also pulled some incredibly stupid Nao tier things at the start, which I guess you could chalk out to early FKMT writing because he's not really supposed to be that dumb all things considered. Not enough to lose stars in "oh sorry i wanted to play this and fucked up, let's keep our arrangement and replay :)". Things get much better quite fast though.As for Nao she absolutely changes and grows, both in intellect and effective ways to apply her empathy. I would however say baseline Nao is less believable of a human being that could actually exist because she's really that oblivious... But then again she's a somewhat sheltered Japanese woman so maybe not...?
>>287903693>What I'm addressing is that Kaiji also pulled some incredibly stupid Nao tier things at the start, which I guess you could chalk out to early FKMT writing because he's not really supposed to be that dumb all things considered.I will actually challenge thatKaiji relapses into at times ridiculous idiocy as late as Kazuya-heneven during the gambles he often straddles the line between savant and moronit is not true that he only exhibited poor judgement at the beginning of the seriesI also hated whatever the crushing helmet game was called and Kaiji thinking it was anywhere near "fair"
>>287903818I kind of disagree. I reread some parts of Kazuya Hen and Kaiji's observations seem reasonable. They're optimistic because he wants to believe in the good of people - some people - but mostly reasonable afaik.The game wasn't blatantly unfair either. Overall I still think it was more unfair than fair but not enough to warrant a huge callout like One Poker and Kazuya's bullshit "heh! You made it to the second layer of a fair fight ;)".You can kind of see that Kaiji is still a bum as a person but he's really sharp.
>troons are the biggest liars of them allBased??
>>287903116I laughed.
>>287903863>They're optimistic because he wants to believe in the good of people - some people - but mostly reasonable afaik. I don't have an issue with that, I'm fine with Kaiji believing in human decency>The game wasn't blatantly unfair either.I understand that neither Kaiji nor Kazuya are scientists, so maybe they were both blind to the issuesbut given that it was styled as an experiment, I would've found unforgivable introducing elements like signal errors or new rules (disguised as "clarifications") just because the experiment wasn't yielding the results Kazuya wantedthat's the cardinal sin of the scientific methodand Kazuya said multiple times the participants have been fully informed beforehand and that he swears to uphold the agreement, both of which are proven to be lies soon after, yet Kaiji does not objectI also don't understand why Kazuya didn't kill them at the end, or even why that dude defected
>>287904066Kazuya just very slightly make things unfair by creating a couple of misunderstandings ("oh no, belt was locked for too long somehow!"), one was in response to Kaiji interfering iirc? Yeah I agree the game is probably cleared without him doing that though but he's a hypocrite.That dude defected because there was too much at stake and he really wasn't a good person deep down despite appearing to be decent before that. I think the game revealed everyone's true colors, Chang and Mario both refused to betray for their own reasons and convictions but Mitsuyama committed in another direction entirely at the end. Also Kazuya is doing this to reaffirm his worldviews, he gave Kaiji the remote so Kaiji would put up a fake attempt at saving them, proving to both of them Kazuya was not only right about these guys but Kaiji as well... Except he wasn't and Kaiji's true colors also were revealed, he snapped out of his stupor because he experienced horror on a visceral level as he saw these guys dying, a lesser person wouldn't
>>287904146>Kazuya just very slightly make things unfairit might be slight, but introducing noise would normally change the strategy entirely yet he keeps silent just to sow discontentnot to mention being casual about technical issues during a game of life and death is comical and should be grounds for an aborthe also uses pre-determined results for "random" events (which is the only part Kaiji doesn't know)and manipulates the mental state of participants via interviewsand breaks his own rules and allows them to selectively communicate, and then suddenly cuts it offall explicit attempts to stir shit upso the dude wanted to kill the two from the beginning? I didn't get that read from him at allalso Kaiji's hesitation felt out of characterhe had already given up vast amounts of money to save others in the past, multiple timesI don't think it's just me expecting protagonist mentality from himthe guys were literally dying gruesome deaths in front of himall in all the conclusion was a sudden U-turn that didn't follow from previous events
>>287886472KEK I thought the girl teamed up with X and put him on the plan to get backup money, but it turns out it was a crossdresser. Honestly this is the most unbelievable thing so far, no tranny could pass that much in that attire, the voice should be telling as well
>>287903147Why would it?
>>287903878How /fa/ is Nao in the manga? She's been dressing like a typical Japanese housewife so far. All very plain. Does she ever wear any cute outfits?
>>287902337Cell phones existed.Smartphones function in this adaptation in the same way.
>>287904304>it might be slight, but introducing noise would normally change the strategy entirelyThis is 100% true yes, hence why I still think the game is unfair and Kazuya is a hypocrite>should be grounds for an abortProbably if they called it, they wouldn't get the money or the debt exemption though.>so the dude wanted to kill the two from the beginning?More like from the beginning the guy wouldn't want to put his life in their hands at the most critical junction. Chang and Mario both went through that critical junction in earlier chapters, namely the one where Mario hesitates but remembers his friend telling him "when in doubt, just live honestly so you can keep your pride", and the one where Chang sees everything Kazuya is trying to pull on them and goes "fuck you, I refuse to be manipulated". These two had a deep personal core that allowed them to refuse betraying in a game of prisoner, the last one not so much, even though he wouldn't murder people in normal circumstances>also Kaiji's hesitation felt out of characterI also felt the same but you have to consider that he was penniless 6 hours ago, 70m yen is huge even if it's only 1/6th of his current worth. And going "oh no, I need all my money to face Kazuya!" wouldn't necessarily be a crazy reach to justify letting people die sadly.
>>287901457As any foreshadowing should be.
>>287904339Sadly we wont get to see her in PE clothes
>>287904411As you can see, it can't be done
>>287904315It would be rude to call them.out on not being a woman
Nao is a compelling character because she keeps getting breast enlargement surgery after every round.
>>287904411I didn't realise Nao was built like that.>>287904449Now I get it.
>>287904474the clothes were tight
>>287904419Imagine being in the middle
>>287904339IMO she peaks in the third game>eyelashShe was asking for it
>>287904387>Probably if they called it, they wouldn't get the money or the debt exemption though. in a good faith situation, it would be the fault of organizers and so the participants should be entitled for monetary compensation if not the full amountI know I would never sit in that chair again without clearing it upthe game is already ridiculously risky, and now you have random mechanical failures? fuck it I'm outit's hard to find a situation where the phrase "grave issue" is more appropriate than herebut maybe the mafia guys wouldn't see it that wayI agree with your other points
>>287904514Forgot pic
>fish-faced>doesn't have cannonsWould you cheat on her with your female boos?
>>287904339>How /fa/ is Nao in the manga?Fukunaga is vastly more /fa/
>>287902262Should have been the dude that voiced the JJK tranny, that guy is good
>>287895802well they showed xer in the OP so I knew he was going to be an opponent
>>287899376The probability that a guy with this looks never sucked a dick in prison is near 0%
>>287904526I hate that I know what you're talking about.
>>287896231He's just standing there menacingly!
>>287904525I've gathered that the author likes turtlenecks.
>>287904525
I caught up and absolutely love Nao, she keeps doing shit that crack me the fuck up and her reactions are perfect. Who knew an honest and straight forward girl would be so good in a social deduction game.
>>287904902That's because Akiyama has all of the cold logic and reasoning as well as the psychology background to manipulate people AND also play on their incentives, aka the rational side of prisoner dilemmas types of problems, while Nao complements this with the empathetic, idealistic side that he can't quite achieve with logic alone. Although they're not in closed off boxes, Akiyama is also a nice guy and Nao can use logic and deception.
>>287902976>liar's game>there's a dude pretending to be woman
>>287886472Can't believe we got this dogshit instead of Tomodachi Game season 2.Akiyama is like if Yuuichi was lame as fuck
>>287904996>Tomodachi Gamelmao this was trash
>>287905021filtered
I can fix her
>>287902350She looks like Misaki
>>287905792You can't fix stupid.
>>287905792>>287905905Why would you want to?
>>287904664He's a master of disguise. The big hardened Yakuza criminal getting his dick sucked in prison by the prettyboy would take off his mask and reveal that HE is Akiyama.
>announcer always praised the questions from the candidates>only not when that guy had to involve his fucking fetish
>>287906000I love retarded women (jogamine is my jk gf) but nao is just plain naive and boring and too damsel in distressy
>>287906071And then the pretty boy takes off his mask to reveal himself as the big hardened yakuza.
>>287903878I want to do things to her...
>>287903113You might as well cheat on her because for sure some slimy ojisan is going to guilt/trick her into cheating on you
What's the point of the questions? Why not just do it without the questions
>>287906842So our 300+IQ savant Akiyama can ask a question that forces everyone to be his bitch
>>287906842M spotted
>>287906842It's flavor. I guess it gives the idea that maybe the question could influence the answers and such, but honestly I think it's all for the sake of this one line (not exactly a spoiler but since it hasn't happened yet I'll put it behind tag)
>>287906891>next week"Are you gay?"
>>287906891>Answer yes to this question or your mother will die in her sleep tonight
>>287896038Hes used to it being a poker player.
>>287906842It's for theming. It's the LIAR game. You have to lie and answer the questions wrong to win.
>>287907250>a tranny and a sex freak leftgee i wonder
>>287906842To influence the result. After all it's called the Honesty Game, you have to answer honestly.
Did anyone find the secret thread? It probably didn't last long and I wasn't there when the episode aired.
>>287890734>trannylmao, all those post from the other threads saying its an "evil woman".Anons getting trapped since the dawn of time.
>>287907956>since the dawn of timeI sincerely doubt there were trans cavemen
>>287906077Fetish? Akiyama said S was sword and M was moat
>>287907299"Do you agree to give me the entire 2.1 billion yen prize if you win, and by the way a verbal contract is binding?">votes no>if no is in the minority he advances to the next round>if yes is in the minority, everyone on the winning side has already agreed to his terms
>>287891509This and the test question being 'are you a woman' would have made this a really nice thing to spot if people hadn't spoiled it in the thread two episodes ago. Regardless, the series is still shit so far because the characters are all poorly written caricatures, and no amount of clever games can fix that. I can't wait for next episode to start with the obvious fucking reveal that Smart Man voted for the same option as X because he knew everyone else is stupid and they were going to gloat about winning and reveal everything before his vote was shown.
>>287891799It's been 20 years, maybe they're not as famous now.
>>287908154>the obvious fucking reveal that Smart Man voted for the same option as X because he knew everyone else is stupid and they were going to gloat about winning and reveal everything before his vote was shownI mean... he literally said he wanted his vote to be read last.Now the question is: How is he gonna win?Him voting the same as X means it's a deadlock.
>>287908154Characters are fine though. Nao has a small issue of being unbelievably naive at the start because she's supposed to unambiguously embody everything that's good but other than that it's fine. I guess it's more that there aren't really that many important characters in the first place when the focus is on how the MCs navigate the games. I can think of basically... 5 real characters if I'm honest, which is not a lot, meaning there are tons of "extras". I think bandana dude is underrated but sadly he wont have his time to shine in this season.
>>287894702Death Note has aesthetic.
>>287896231With the quality of the writing so far it's no wonder you're better off not speaking.
>>287908432Kind of, yeah. It has a distinct look and an aesthetic that is absolutely bound to work wonders on teenagers and even on adults to some level with the whole thriller feel. Both LG and DN have gothic inspirations but DN does it a lot more.
>>287899398Death Note was aimed at women too so it makes sense.
>>287908054Anons are so dirty minded.
>>287902762In the manga the reveal is over the phone and not in person.
>>287908537savouring the cope
>>287908266>he literally said he wanted his vote to be read lastWay to focus on the entire wrong part of the quote.>How is he gonna win?>Him voting the same as X means it's a deadlock.Yeah, which means they go to the next round and now everyone knows what X is doing, and he has 6+ hours to mindgame the remaining two players into a situation where they win.If X had stayed silent and waited or even called him out on voting the same none of this would have happened by the way. There's no proving he's been betrayed by being the one who picks the option he said he wouldn't. Presumably he needs to have already made an agreement with another player too, otherwise he'd be risking a loss here.The story here hinges on X being a gloating idiot, which itself hinges on Nao being there, which he didn't want in the first place. It's not impressive for him to win if his opponent is an idiot.
>>287908663I'm literally praising DN but you wouldn't understand because you're a brainrotten console war faggot who can only reason in buzzwords and shitflinging, retard.
>>287908921It doesn't have to 100% rely on X gloating, either way he's saving this vote by changing it, X gloating is just making this finale a lot more easy to nail which is definitely a hubris mistake on X's end but not a fatal one.
X gon give it (cock) to ya
BRO THIS IS SO MUCH BETER THAN DEATH NOTES
>>287908054I have a moat fetish myself. There's weirder fetishes out there so don't judge.
>>287906842Even if you're not forced to answer honestly, it offers a starting point to try to figure out the outcome (that they sadly don't cover). Take the example question "Are you a woman?", it leads you down this path>If everyone votes honestly, yes will be the minority>If a few of us lie and say yes, it will probably still be the minority>But there's the risk that too many people are planning to do the same thing, so maybe if I answer honestly, the people planning the same thing will screw themselves over and make "no" the minorityThis means that even with no teams, you essentially end up with two scenariosA-Only a few people realize that they can lie and vote "yes", "yes" is still the minorityB-Too many people have the same plan and it ends up with "no" being the minorityB is what happened, but the point is that the 6 hours you have before voting are intended for you to read the room and figure out whether A or B is more likely. If it was a blank question, there'd be no point in waiting 6 hours, no one has a specific reason to vote either way
>>287906842>>287909898Kinda like in forum mafia where you start off wih completely random votes and try to figure out patterns based on who joins what wagon and try to extract real information out of those.
How did nobody on the team notice the mention how Fukunaga mentioned a check specifically earlier in the episode? How would she know it's a check?
>>287910145One person on the team noticed it
>>287908921>The story here hinges on X being a gloating idiot, which itself hinges on Nao being there, which he didn't want in the first place. It's not impressive for him to win if his opponent is an idiot.I don't think that's true. Even if X never gloated, he obviously already voted yes, which goes against the plan, in order to force a deadlock. Therefore, I think he didn't know his teammate was gonna double-cross but did know something (which hasn't been revealed yet) about sunglasses and the way he votes. This round he was investigating sunglasses. So whatever ace is up his sleeve hinges on knowing how sunglasses will vote, and X revealing himself is just gravy.
>trannyshitdropped
>>287909898Agreed with this. If there's no question it's a coin toss. Even the act of asking the question is psyching out the other players.>i'm a woman, and women are in the minority so if i ask "are you a woman" and everyone answers honestly i'd win>but everyone in the room knows that, so they're gonna try and vote yes to be in the minority, but that will probably make yes the majority>therefore i'll ask "are you a woman" and then i'll vote no!Notice that #18 actually voted no despite asking the question.
>death note>good animationIt had good art direction and voice acting plus it was more in the dark side of color schemes.Liar game doesn't have anything like that and it's dogshit games are now being exposed to the anime crowd which have a higher iq than manga elitists.
>anime crowd which have a higher iq than manga elitistsTop bait. I think Nao might fall for this.
>>287911633The anime crowd has higher IQ than manga elitists, do you agree? What an excellent question.Those who think the anime crowd has a higher IQ than manga elitists, vote yes, those who think the manga elitists are right, vote no. You have 6 hours to discuss and vote
>>287886472So this show is just Game Theory 101 for dummies?
>>287911771Just because it's basic doesn't mean it can't be fun
>>287911797I wonder if I would've liked this more if I watched it 10-15 years ago. It just seems bad on every level
S for shemale
>>287912143Slop is fun.

esso ando emmo
>>287912395>Translating S and M as sadist and masochist>J-drama acting>BetterThis is bait.
>>287912577>>Translating S and M as sadist and masochistOnly in the subs.>>J-drama actingIt's good.
>>287912395Even this Bollywood-tier production is more visually interesting than the anime.
>>287890264Why look at the thread if you haven't finished the episode?
I ship Nao with the Lawyer-sama
>>287912474pee ando gee
SONNA
this show is exactly what I want out of animeweirdness, fun and absolute retardation
>>287913114
>>287912824She wants his dick
>>287913359First we had a newhalf, and now we have a newtype??
>>287911288>anime crowd which have a higher iq than manga elitists20 IQ post
>>287911797>basicMaybe basic in the sense of "how many developed characters there are" (see >>287908315)When it comes to complex games with tons of dynamics at play it's pretty fucking thorough. I fail to see others on this level.
>>287911771As opposed to what? An advanced game theory anime where Akiyama calculates the Shapley value of the game to determine how much be should distribute his winnings to get people to cooperate, or tries to find an extensive-form perfect equilibrium to account for the mistakes Mao will make based on a Harsanyi model of how retarded she is?
Nao isn't retarded, just honest
>>287899471Liking girl cock isn't gay
>>287914291she'll be smart soon enough give her.... 2 games or so
>>287902325>it's akiyama explaining what a period is because she thought it was just red pee
>>287914333Would and checked.
>>287914333>massive tits chick shaves her head and claims to be a dude>anons immediately fall for itGet liar game'd.
>>287914333Liar
>oh noes! I got screwed again!This shit is so predicable. That red herring & newhalf are as obvious as they can be. I mean, who wouldn't see it?
>>287914893>who wouldn't see it?You.
>>287908114He probably should have done this
>>287914983If it was possible yes but I doubt it would work even in that fictionalized work
>last week: "old guy is X! Akiyama is X!">this week: "ackshully it was always obvious it was the tranny"Straight filtering niggers into copes and seethes
>>287915042I mean it's not even like we're in some PEAK TOP TIER GAME. Like, it's currently pretty neat the way things unfolded with the group plan and the shenanigans, it's a pretty solid game but we're not really going S tier with this one. Detractors are getting way too excited at the prospect of shitting on this one to prove once and for all this was always bad or something kek.
>>287915042>>287760381
>>287915067And by that I mean the top tier shit is a bit later. Sadly we're not getting chairs animated but we have other cool ones.
>>287915042To be fair the dickgirl was a complete non-character last episode
Please tell me (s)he comes back again later, they're the most pure sex character so far.
>>287915107Main character
I'm just glad no one, anime watcher nor manga reader, talked about "the one thing" this episode dropped that's key for next episode's reveal.It'll have a bigger impact that way.
>>287915188We talked about the cock reveal plenty.
So far nothing Akiyama did was impressively smart>let's use basic reverse psychology to con an old man>let's cooperate and rigged the voting system
I'm starting to think the reason Nao and Akiyama don't get together is to keep him pure for the female otaku
I'm still waiting on translations for chapter 2 of the sequel...
>>287911726>if I vote 'YES', I can bait people into a discussion and keep these threads alive. On the other hand, if too many people have the same thought process and follow through with it, the bait becomes obvious.>if I vote 'NO' and most people, but not all, vote the same way, then the bait will be successful. But there is the risk of too many anime viewers being that delusional or simply wanting to shitpost they will vote 'YES' and ruin the subtle bait plan to keep threads aliveThis means that even with no teams, you essentially end up with two scenariosA- Only few anons realize they can lie and vote 'YES', keeping 'YES' as a minorityB- Too many manga readers realize they can lie or too many anime watchers realize they can shitpost, which ends up with 'YES' as the majority
