Hey guys, Josh here, back again with another episodic review of King\u2019s Game: The Animation<\/em>. I know you guys are probably sick of me saying this, but dawg gone it, I\u2019m going to because it\u2019s true. Thank you all so much for checking out my reviews and giving me feedback! It really encourages me to keep writing, even though this show is\u2026well\u2026crap. It\u2019s for you guys that I write, and I truly appreciate all the love I\u2019m getting.<\/p>\n

So yeah, we\u2019re on Episode 6, and I think we can now safely call this show a failure. I thought Episode 5 was the breaking point, but it looks as though NOW, at the halfway point, it can be said that this show did NOT live up to the hopes I had for it and it will not get any better. While other episodes were<\/em> bad enough to really sink the show, it was THIS ONE that did the deed. This episode was like a \u201cGreatest Hits\u201d of what made the last 5 episodes bad: flashbacks with characters that we don\u2019t know or care about, stupid plot holes and lapses in common sense storytelling, poor and inconsistent animation, stereotypical characters\u2026you name it, this episode has it. There were several times when I just had to pause and rewind just to make sure I actually did read the subtitles correctly and that the show REALLY was that stupid. IT WAS.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not delay any further. To quote the OP from the anime Planetes<\/em>, let\u2019s soar higher and higher to a frontier of limitless dreams. I\u2019m Josh, and this is Episode 6 of King\u2019s Game: The Animation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Last time out, still in Better Class Land, more shenanigans ensue. Ria tazes Nobu-Kun and tells him that she is the King. She then pulls a \u201cJust Kidding, LOL\u201d and says she\u2019s NOT the king, and then proceeds to taser Nobu-Kun when he pushes her to the ground. To quote \u201cLast Surprise,\u201d he never saw it coming! Later, Naoya tells us that a teacher told him off-screen that several other students in the class died due to some weird Text Messaging shenanigans. Speaking of text messaging shenanigans, the King\u2019s next order is to not do “Anything Unnecessary.” This unnecessary thing turns out to be crying. More students die including a boy named Yousuke, who had been doing research and discovers information about Yonaki Village, the site of the first King’s game. With his dying breath, Yousuke tells Nobu-kun to go to the village to find clues on how to end the game. While waiting on a train, Nobu-kun is knocked out and tied up by Yousuke’s childhood friend and secret crush Kaori…who doesn’t do much except die when she finds out her crush was crushing on her. Caught up? Good. Prepare for the foolishness.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Well he was, but he died. Probably would’ve lived longer if he hadn’t try to be Captain Save-A-Ho…just saying.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We pick up where we left off, with a mysterious figure picking up a cell phone. Of course, it\u2019s Ria, and she confronts the still tied-up Nobu-kun about Yousuke\u2019s research involving the king\u2019s game. Cut to OP!<\/p>\n

Seriously. That\u2019s all there is to the teaser. Just 30 seconds and cut to the song. Why even have the song in the first place? Just cut the OP and give us a little more time with Ria and Nobu-Kun. Have her explain EXACTLY how she knew where Nobu-Kun and Non-Important Girl were\u2026ESPECIALLY since you\u2019re going to cut the ending at the end of the episode. Just roll the credits over the action and the dialogue.<\/p>\n

ANYWAY\u2026we cut back to the present with Nobu, Kenta and Mizuki, who just got her new phone activated to continue in the King\u2019s Game. Later, during a taxi\u2014<\/p>\n

WAIT! HOLD UP! Who decided THIS\u2026was acceptable?! This is almost worse than the train! This cab isn\u2019t driving down the street, it\u2019s FLOATING! I\u2019ve seen 90\u2019s PC video games that have better graphics than this show! Studio Seven should be ashamed that this actually made it to air, and I am not kidding. This studio has done some great works in the anime industry, and to have this mess associated with them is borderline criminal. And should you think that my blind rage about this show is making me biased, allow me to introduce a third opinion–my bro DigiRanma.<\/p>\n

…that can't be from an anime…that's…that's some student's art camp project two weeks before a class on rendering…right?<\/p>\n

We’ll come back to this cab ride later, because there’s one other thing that needs to be addressed outside of the stupid animation.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Dude, you’re using an iPhone…LOOK AT THE CALLER ID!\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, Nobu-kun throws us back in the land of Flashbacks. We see Naoya in his room (without his trademark Old Navy Frost Free) trying to contact Nobu-kun and he\u2019s clearly worried. So worried in fact that when his phone rings, he answers it expecting it to be Nobu-kun, but is disappointed when it turns out to be another classmate. Naoya, brother man, you have Nobu-kun\u2019s phone number programmed in your phone. ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS LOOK AT THE DISPLAY TO SEE WHO IT WAS! Man, the people in this show are stupid!<\/p>\n

The classmate calling Naoya is Abe Toshiyuki, and he and his friend (or maybe his brother\u2026it\u2019s not clearly explained\u2026) Fujioka Toshiyuki is anxious as hell. The next King\u2019s order came through and it\u2019s quite literally a roll of the dice. One student has to roll dice to get a number. The roller must then select that same number of students to be punished with the roller also being punished. If no one is selected, EVERYONE gets the chop. Naoya frets that Nobu-kun isn\u2019t there to tell him what to do and hangs up on his classmates asking for time to think. Abe begins freaking out over who would get picked, as there are only 10 classmates left, and if a six should be rolled, there\u2019s a very decent chance he\u2019ll get picked for punishment. He then begins thinking about those who could turn against him, including a girl named Chia, who doesn\u2019t like him because he keeps trying to water her to see if she\u2019ll grow sprouts<\/a> on her head. Meanwhile, Naoya gets a group text from Ria asking everyone to meet her at Sasakikubi Dam Park tonight at 10PM.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
I didn’t think the Japanese had a word for BFF…the more you know…<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That night, the group gathers at the appointed place, with Abe getting more and more anxious. However, there are several classmates missing; Nobu-kun, Ria and a girl named Masami, who attempted to punch her ticket on the Midnight Train to Georgia early by slitting her wrists and is currently in the hospital. In desperation, Toshiyuki tries to convince Fujioka to roll the dice and make the choice. However, Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia chimes in stating that whoever does the rolling is more than likely to pick him first. \u00a0The two sling insults back and forward to each other until Nobu-kun breaks it up. Chiemi is glad to see him\u2026so glad in fact that she pointlessly trips over a rock and falls over for him to come over and comfort her in the corniest way possible. In what has to be the best moment in this episode dialogue-wise (which is saying something), Chiemi tells Nobu-kun that she knew exactly what he was trying to do in the previous episode, when he \u201cbroke up\u201d with her. She knew that he was trying to protect her and was only doing what was right. I love me some continuity.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Shiny knife is shiny…<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Meanwhile, Abe continues to become more and more irate, chewing out Ria for being late and then ragging on Naoya for being secretly relieved that his chances for survival have improved with Ria and Nobu-Kun\u2019s arrival. When Naoya lashes out and tries to hit him in the most telegraphed way possible, Abe gets there first and decks Naoya. Sadly for him no sexual encounters occur after this knock out. When Fujioka comes over to talk sense into his friend, Abe once again asks him to roll the dice and save his life, even though it would put Fujioka\u2019s life in danger. Keita almost gives in to the peer pressure, but Nobu-kun tackles him to the ground before he throws the dice. Faced with wall to wall opposition from all his classmates, Abe decides that this show could stand to be a bit crazier and he grabs Chiemi and holds her at knife point, threatening to kill her. When Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia states that he\u2019s too cowardly to kill anyone, Abe stabs Chiemi\u2019s upper thigh\u2026for\u2026REASONS, and then orders someone to roll the dice and call Nobu-kun\u2019s name first. Nobu-kun takes the dice from Fujioka and is about to roll when Naoya takes the dice from him, stating that he\u2019s actually glad to put his life on the line for him and Chiemi. He throws the dice and gets a 6. Almost on cue, the King sends a message stating that he has 10 minutes to say the name of the six classmates he designates.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Umm…I’m sure the crushing of a larynix would prevent someone from saying “Ouch”…but I’m not a physician.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the break, Keita Yamashita, one of their classmates, suggests that since she tried to commit suicide already, Masami should be the first name he calls. When Naoya rebukes him by name\u2026well\u2026our bro Keita is about to make like the LL Cool J song and get Headsprung<\/a>. However, it\u2019s done in what is probably the funniest way possible (at least it was funny to me\u2026heck, I need something to laugh about watching this show). His neck pretty much twists all the way around then springs back and pops off in a shower of blood. Oh, and he\u2019s able to talk and scream this whole time because\u2026REASONS!<\/p>\n

We then go back to the cab momentarily where Nobu-Kun explains how each one of the classmates died. Let me repeat that again: Nobu-kun, Kenta and Mizuki are riding in a taxi cab…WITH AN ADULT DRIVING\u2026and Nobu-kun is just casually telling the story of how SEVEN TEENAGERS IN HIS CLASS DIED! \u00a0Why is this cab driver not freaking out?! Why is this cab driver not pulling over to the side of the road demanding answers?! He just heard a story about SEVEN TEENAGERS DYING IN HORIFFIC WAYS and he just continues driving them to their destination like it\u2019s nothing?! For all he knows, he just heard a murder confession! But, of course, this is King\u2019s Game: The Animation,\u00a0<\/em>adults are nonexistent, and those that do exist are either comically inept, it\u2019s a wonder they are able to dress themselves in the morning, or they just can\u2019t be bothered with the murder of teenagers.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Abe sucking at Destiny’s Child Karaoke…<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, back in Flashback land, Masamai (the girl in the hospital), Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia and no-name girl are killed off, leaving two more names to be called. Chiemi, still being held at knifepoint, begs Naoya to be punished, and Nobu-kun also begs to be named off to save Chiemi. Before Naoya makes his decision, Fujjioka decides to take matters in his own fist and clocks Abe to free Chiemi. He then asks Naoya to say Abe and his names to end it all. Abe threatens to kill Naoya…which has to be the emptiest threat in the world. When he says your name THAT’S IT. You’re DONE, Abe! Besides, Naoya is gonna die anyway, so what are you going to do? Bring him back to life and kill him again? Stupid. Anyway, our bro says eff that noise and says Abe and Fujioka\u2019s names, causing them to die by\u2026well\u2026BLOOD SPLOOSH!!!<\/p>\n

As Abe and Fujioka flop around on the ground like a Magicarp, Nobu-kun goes to Naoya\u2019s side as his punishment comes down. It looks like bro is getting his limbs ripped off one by one. Through the pain, he reiterates how happy he was that he was able to save Nobu-kun and Chiemi, and he once again confesses his love for the two of them. As Naoya loses his arms and legs, Nobu-kun picks him up in his arms and Naoya asks what he thinks Heaven is like, tearfully ruminating with his last breath that it must be awesome as nobody ever comes back. He then dies with a slight smile on his face and the typical anime sunbeams shining on him\u2026in the middle of the night while Nobu-kun screams in anguish. \u201cObedience Confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Heaven is a place where you can make love to a girl without being knocked unconcious.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rest in peace, Naoya…you were probably the most likable character in this entire anime for me. Which is a crying shame as you are a flashback character and will have next to nothing to do with the present plot. But hey, at least you got laid before you died…even though you were technically unconscious at the time…which could technically be considered rape as you didn’t give consent…bummer. Ah well.<\/p>\n

The Death Toll Remains: 10 Dead, 22 Rema\u2014wait, what? Oh, right. We still got about seven minutes left. And HOO BOY\u2026here\u2019s where the stupid comes along.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
I’m sure there are better ways of carrying around a laptop…<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ria comes from the shadows and pulls Naoya\u2019s cell phone from his pocket and then reaches under her sweater and produces a laptop. Yes, really. Ria was hiding a laptop under her uniform sweater. WHY?! What was the point of hiding her laptop?! Nobody was going to steal it, nobody probably would\u2019ve noticed it considering what was going on! Why hide it?!<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Let the bodies hit the floor…<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anyway, she \u00a0then goes on to explain that she combined her data with Yousuke\u2019s to find out about the origins of the King\u2019s game. She then goes on to explain that the first game was played in Yonaki Village 30 years ago, and that it decimated the population. She does go on to add that scientists determined that the deaths may have been caused by a virus coupled with hypnosis. Whenever a person in the game receives a cue, the power of suggestion is pushed to such a limit that the human body would damage or destroy its own cells. This\u2026actually makes some sense. It is documented that some hypnosis can have some side effects that can be detrimental and COULD, if applied correctly, make someone react in a way a-typical to their better judgment. If the show had stopped there, this would\u2019ve been a pretty decent explanation. However, Nobu-kun rightly asks how a virus could be transmitted through text message. And it\u2019s here where things get stupid.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Ooooh, so this is what the Internet looks like! I wonder if I unscrew this wire–*CONNECTION TERMINATED*<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ria states the virus was never eradicated and that with the advent of computer networks the virus began moving and spreading through text messages. Let that sink in. A BIOLOGICAL virus that can move through computer networks. A BIOLOGICAL VIRUS\u2026THAT CAN MOVE THROUGH COMPUTER NETWORKS. This show expects us to believe\u2026that a BIOLOGICAL VIRUS\u2026somehow<\/u><\/em><\/strong> found its way from a rural village in the country\u2026into a computer network\u2026and over time found its way into a cell phone network\u2026and then spread through text messages?!<\/p>\n

This is BEYOND stupid! I mean PRODIGIOUSLY BEYOND STUPID! WHAT THE HELL KINDA SCIENCE IS THIS?! If that\u2019s the case, then I need to take my PC into a Walgreens for a Flu Shot! I may need to call Cox Communications and get a technician out here to check my cable internet lines for measles! Heck, some of you guys out there may need to have your PC\u2019s checked for STDs depending on what websites you visit! This is by far the stupidest thing I have ever heard uttered in an anime in quite a long time. VIRUSES\u2026Transmitted through Computer Networks. THIS IS NOT DIGIMON ADVENTURE<\/em>! BIOLOGICAL VIRUSES DO NOT TRAVEL OVER THE INTERNET! This is STUPID! Hey, King\u2019s Game: The Animation<\/em>; I hope you had an epidural, because that was one HELL of a butt-pull you just did!<\/p>\n

\n

…I'm sorry, I thought I heard "Stupid, stupid, and STUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID," what?<\/p>\n

— DigiRanma (@DigiRanma) November 10, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Anyway, remember those one-letter text messages mentioned in an earlier episode? Well, forget about that because Ria said she couldn\u2019t make a sentence out of it, but she was able to make an anti-virus to exploit a bug and eradicate the King\u2019s Game \u201cprogram.\u201d Dang, Malwarebytes ain\u2019t got nothing on Ria. She can make an antivirus program that can scan the ENTIRE Internet to find the ONE program and eliminate the King. And unless the translators made a mistake, there\u2019s more than one King as Ria states shes\u2019 going to eliminate all the \u201cKings\u201d on the network. When was there more than one King? Ria never stated there was more than one involved until just now. What evidence does she have that there\u2019s more than one person (sorry, program) giving the orders? We just keep going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole, aren\u2019t we?<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Because THIS is how Computers work!\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ria starts the anti-virus program and a montage starts of her erratically typing on a keyboard while red squares turn purple on her screen and a percentage meter counts down. Because THAT\u2019S how computers work! There\u2019s NO code on the screen, no evidence that her keystrokes are actually doing anything\u2026it\u2019s just her fingers flying on the keyboard. And the creators tried to make it look like she was doing something intense by showing close-ups of her eyes, her forehead sweating. It would be comical if it wasn\u2019t being played completely straight. The LEAST they could do was show her actually coding something on screen! This is just stupid and the little \u201cMission Complete\u201d on the screen afterwards just makes this whole montage all the more pathetic.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
If I may quote Alicia Keys…”THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE!!!!”\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just when our group thinks that it\u2019s all over, the computer beeps and shows a message from the king. Apparently the King didn\u2019t appreciate Ria hacking all in his business and decides to punish her by immolation. A few seconds later, Ria\u2019s entire body spontaneously catches on fire. LITERALLY. Baby girl is on fire from head to toe\u2026and she seems completely fine by it. She just continues typing on the laptop like it\u2019s nothing. She whips off her burning sweater as she works, leaving her in bra and panties\u2026and fire. She then begins talking about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, and how she had found a reason to keep going because the King\u2019s game gave her a purpose and a goal to strive for; something to win. Before jumping off the dam, Ria asks Nobu-kun to beat the King in her place. She then plummets to her doom, smiling as the ending song plays.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
This is either the entrance to Yonaki Viliage or Toontown. Hopefully it’s the later.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back in the present, Nobu-Kun, Mizuki and Kenta finally arrive at the walled off entrance to Yonaki village.<\/p>\n

And once again, The Death Toll Remains: 10 Dead, 22 Remaining\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Getting sick of this picture? So am I. Deal.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, yeah. This episode was absurd. There\u2019s no other way to say it. It\u2019s downright comical how far downhill this episode rolled. I mean, there were parts in the beginning that looked like it could be SOMEWHAT decent\u2026or at least tolerable, but then the last couple minutes with the \u201cImma go crazy and take a hostage!!\u201d thing and the \u201cbiological virus in the computer network\u201d thing and the \u201cOh, look, I\u2019m on fire. Meh.\u201d thing punted this show into a new end zone of badness. \u00a0And did we REALLY need yet another moment of crazy when someone in the class decides to lose their marbles? It\u2019s happened SO MANY TIMES BEFORE and it\u2019s telegraphed so much that there\u2019s no surprise when it does happen. Also…yeah…BIOLOGICAL VIRUS OVER THE INTERNET AND TEXT MESSAGES! Good effing grief.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/p>\n

Oh, and you thought I wasn’t going to mention the whole foolishness about how Ria just sparked on fire? Oh yeah, let’s talk about that. That scene was the epitome of foolishness. So Ria catches on fire, and the only expression of surprise she has on her face is related to the fact that the King actually beat her to the punch! She just stands there typing on her laptop like it’s nothing. No expression of pain or suffering! I don’t care how badly she was abused by her father–BEING BURNED ALIVE IS STILL A PAINFUL EXPERIENCE! By the way, that is the most fire-retardant laptop in the known world! Ria types on it and there’s NO damage whatsoever!<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Vibrators, whips, gag balls and fidget spinners. Kinky.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also, I would be in dereliction in my duty if I didn’t mention the fact that while Ria is burning alive, she is also talking about how she was abused by her father and there’s a shot showing the…ahem…implements of that abuse. Because in this show, you just can’t talk about someone being abused–you actually have to drive it home by showing the objects used in that abuse, along with a naked, kneeling Ria just for seasoning. Subtilty is not this show’s strong suit. Finally, I can’t help but notice that among other things, Ria seems to have been abused by a couple of Fidget Spinners.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot
Evil McEvilton.\u00a0<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This show still has the problem of making dramatic moments WAY over the top. The whole hostage scene with Abe and Chiemi was just too much. Why was he carrying around a knife in the first place? Was he that paranoid about the game? I mean, I gave Ria a pass with her taser because she’s a survivor of sexual assault (must like everyone else these days), but I don’t see why Abe just had to have a knife! Also, Naoya\u2019s death scene had potential to be touching, but it was played so corny and over the top, I found myself almost laughing. It was like watching a bad drama–oh wait…<\/p>\n

Speaking of bad things, the English dub for King’s Game: The Animation<\/em> is starting to sink into the mediocre category, which is honestly surprising me. Funimation is known for putting out solid dubs, and as of recently, they’ve been batting a thousand! Maybe because this is the 2nd String production staff working on a mediocre show…I don’t know. But this dub is not that good. Natsuko’s V\/A puts on a good enough performance, playing the duality of the character very well. Everyone else…yeah, I’m not going out of my way to buy this one if it comes out on home video. The SimulDub is currently on Episode 3. Yeah, that episode. And the moment when Nobu-kun, Chiemi and Naoya are arguing over the whole “have sex before midnight” order is actually HILARIOUS when heard in English! The V\/A’s play it WAY over the top!<\/p>\n

Honestly, this show has hit rock bottom. While the optimist in me says that the show couldn’t possibly get any worse and can only get better from here as it looks like we’re approaching the end of the flashbacks, I’m going to deck my optimistic side like Nobu-Kun decked Naoya that one time and remain pessimistic so as not to get my hopes up. It’s rare that a show gets better at the halfway point, and there’s NO WAY I could ever recommend anyone stick around with an anime for six episodes in the hopes that it gets better. Especially when the show is only 12 episodes! The only thing I can hope for with this show is that the Yonaki Village stuff doesn’t ruin the original manga for me. Pathetic isn’t it?<\/p>\n

I’ll let Kadeem have the final word today, as he just started watching the other day, bless his heart. I think he sums it up quite eloquently and beautifully.<\/p>\n
