Chances are the author grabbed a handful of concepts from popular anime to cobble together this story without caring how messy the final product would turn out. At least Ousama Game has a basic plot structure making it not entirely incompetent, but that’s not to say it’s original whatsoever. The only thing that keeps the show semi-comprehensive is the formulaic story there is a group of random students and per rules of the death game genre they will all be killed until there’s a winner. Shocking events are contrived into existence and we’re just supposed to believe it.

There is no consideration put into the series of events in King's Game, supernatural crap happens and people make inhumanly stupid decisions. Layering both stories on top of each other caused the show to be so frustratingly repetitive, it made me want to tear my hair out. The issue is, the author is a hack, so both mangas use the same plot devices.

Studio Seven didn’t have enough material from the first manga for a full show, so to compensate they adapted the prequel story as well. We constantly see the characters make the same mistakes because all of the students, past or present are braindead. The protagonist Nobuaki has survived a King's Game before, and while the current game is happening he also tells us about the original game in flashbacks. The biggest problem with the story is that the characters make the same stupid choices over and over. Humanity is doomed, we're all going to hell, and Ousama Game will be the catalyst for the apocalypse. She is being burnt alive and the writer thought that was the perfect time for fanservice. Out of all things she could've done, she chose to take off her clothes. There was even a girl who gets punished by being burnt to death, which might have been scary if she hadn't just stood around for a whole minute entirely engulfed in flames. At least the deaths are pretty ridiculous, some of them are borderline hilarious. Seems interesting enough, right? And it kind of is until you realize every episode has the same structure a bunch of random students are introduced, they receive a nearly impossible order from the king via their phones, they obviously fail to survive it and die in horrific ways. The story goes in circles, introducing a few characters that you have no reason to care about, they're killed violently in very stupid ways, then the cycle repeats in the next episode.Ī group of students of some random class receive text messages from a person who calls themselves “King” aka Ousama, they say the students are part of a game and if they don't obey the rules they will be punished. I'm repulsed because of how it uses the horror genre as an excuse to create degenerate sexualized violence. Only repulsed by Ousama game because of the sexualization. It's more like "Wow some perverted sicko was paid to animate their disgusting fetishes.” It’s not bad in a "Wow this show has so much mindless violence," sort of way. We can just tell people it’s a “mystery.” The plot must be as nonsensical as possible. Characters must never exercise common sense, how else would there be a conflict?Ĥ. Every death has to be over-the-top and ridiculous, people like comedy relief, right?ģ. All female characters must be disgustingly sexualized, this is a MATURE show for ADULTS after all.Ģ. The rules of the King’s Game are as follows:ġ.
