“THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS” This present “Tomodachi Game” is like “Squid Game” or Kaiji however dogshit. Think about you getting tazed, kidnapped, and extorted into enjoying some recreation that appears like it should put you into debt by a suspicious individual, this individual says you possibly can depart earlier than you begin the sport. Thoughts you, one among your “friends” pressured you into this recreation by paying this suspicious individual 15k USD. Why do you even have the choice to depart? If you happen to do depart the sport, the good friend in debt that betrayed you’ll have to pay $150k USD. This immediately makes me consider three issues
1) they haven’t any cause to assist a good friend that is already betrayed them, clearly, they’ve already fucked them over
2) one among their “best friends” is from a wealthy household, if he cared a lot about them, he might pay the debt
3) why the fuck are you going to believe some cunt that simply tazed you and kidnapped you
Do any of them depart? No, we get a variety of pressured flashbacks to the place they initially present and how tight their bond is with one another. However, within the upcoming flashbacks, they present their bond really is not all that tight in any case, from hitting one another to saying “I only care about you, not the others” … proper? The premise is flawed, it does not make me really feel any pressure, and it feels completely and utterly silly. This idea of utilizing debt as an alternative to human lives as punishment for shedding the sport actually does not make you are feeling a lot, oh no, I am 5 gorillion {dollars} in debt and I am a poor high school pupil, what am I going to do? File chapter? LOL
The characters are one-dimensional archetypes. This character is the wealthy child, this character is the poor child, this character is the nerdy child, this character is the bullied timid child, you get what I am saying? Most of their dialogue revolves around their archetypes. Like when the suspicious person who’s working the sport brings up debt, the wealthy good friend says “Oh, I could’ve just paid that! smiles” yeah you could possibly and nonetheless can, so why are you continuing to enjoy the sport after getting kidnapped? For there to be a point of pressure, it’s a must to care concerning the characters, and there need to be actual punishments. I do not care about the characters and I do not care in the event that they get in additional debt.
The artwork is generic and uninspired, it would not shock me if there have been a variety of poorly paid oversea animators engaged in this. The nerdy-looking character has a few of the most wack-ass hair I’ve seen shortly, I do not know what they have been pondering after they drew his character. There actually is not a lot to say concerning the different characters or the background, none of it stands out, and none of it appears properly performed. The soundtrack might be the perfect part of the present. It matches the scenes of the present comparatively properly, although it is nothing of value listening to later. General, it is an actually silly present. It wasn’t valuable this write-up.
