Review
I have just finished watching the series “Darwin’s Game.” I was searching for some good thriller survival game series, and then I came across this anime. The first few minutes in the first episode showed the mystery and intensity of this series. The story is about a mobile game called Darwin’s Game. It is also called D-Game, as the word D stands for both Death and Darwin. So the story follows a high school student, Kanema Sudō, who accepts a mysterious invitation from someone to play Darwin’s game without knowing its consequences. To win this game, the players fight among themselves and even kill to survive. Some are playing this game to get money, and others are playing to survive. The combat is really interesting due to the sigils that each player possesses. Sigil is a special ability that can be anything, from being invisible to detecting lies and many more. Interesting, isn’t it?
In my opinion, this anime has some great plots and storylines that’ll get you hooked on the first episode. When I was watching this anime, I felt like everything was happening right before my eyes, even though I freaked out a little. I finished the entire series in one sitting because of how interesting the story was. Although, it only has 11 episodes. The story and the characters are really well written; believe me when I say this. You’ll get to see some of the character’s backstories and why they decided to join this game. On top of that, we also get to see the main character’s romance story.
The animation goes perfectly with the story. They did a great job animating this series, especially since the fight scenes were well-detailed. Moreover, the soundtracks are pretty good. The characters developed greatly as well. Got to be one of the best thriller Anime that I’ve watched so far
If I had to rate this anime, I’d give it a solid 8.5 out of 10. This is what I was exactly searching for. The thrill, the suspense, the plots, everything all together. It’s a pretty good anime. It was really entertaining to watch, but I’d like to watch more of it. I found the plot amazing, especially with the application; it makes the series original. I just don’t understand why some people find it overrated or bad. Probably because everyone has different tastes but I promise you that you won’t regret watching this. Overall, this series is a great combination of action and mystery, and the way it ended was truly a masterpiece; it will never let you get bored with a perfectly scripted story.
