Dâuinzu gêmu: Darwin's Game

Its not that good like other people say. it had a dumb ending and an ok start/

Schoolboy Kaname Sudou receives an invitation from a classmate to play the mobile game Darwin's Game. When Kaname opens the app, a snake erupts from his display and bites his neck, causing him to lose consciousness. He wakes up in the hospital room and realizes that he doesn't have a bite mark on his neck. On the way home, he reflects on his experience and dismisses the surreal experience as a hallucination.

Curiosity overcomes him on the train and he opens the app again. However, since this seems like any other fighting game, he breathes a sigh of relief and decides to start his first match. His initial relief is short-lived, however, as his in-game opponent unexpectedly appears right in front of him and tries to chase him with a knife. As he desperately runs for his life, Kaname puts two and two together and has to admit that Darwin's Game is no ordinary game, but a brutal struggle for survival.

"Darwin's Game" has nice fight scenes, but that's about all I can think of from the anime.

The characters are completely flat across the board and the main protagonist has a thick layer of "plot armor" It's ok, but clearly more could have been made of it.

This show is amazing everyone should give this a try

An excellent series as long as you have a certain suspension of disbelief. There are a lot of impossible things to believe before breakfast. Survival of the fittest is obvious from the title. It reminded me of "The Game", that film from 1997 starring Michael Douglas. Of course, in that the confrontations were not deadly. They only made Douglas think they were. After all, this anime is supposed to be fun and exciting, not truly scary.

I don't really know what to make of Darwin's game. I don't find this series to be a must watch, especially this season as there are better anime this season to watch. But my feelings towards this show are the same feelings towards Future Diary where the show never bored me and kept me engaged from start to finish. If you feel the same about Future Diary, then I can see you enjoying Darwin's game as it is an entertaining shounen series with some great action and music. But if didn't enjoy Future Diary, THEN BOY THIS AIN'T THE SHOW FOR YOU MATE. The world building, janky pacing and characters will frustrate the heck out of you. It's a show that will appeal to some but not to others and although I did enjoy it, this ain't a show I would look back later this year as a show that is definitely one of the best. By no means is this a bad show, but it ain't a great one either.
