In the middle of all of this, all of his classmates, himself included, have one email from a something called “King” delivered to their cellphones. The students all regard it as some simple trick, but Nobuaki knows exactly what this is. A conflict known as the game of “death” is about to begin.

The Rules of King’s Game
1. Full class participation is mandatory.
2. Please follow all of the orders in the emails that are delivered from the king within 24 hours.
3. Those who do not follow the orders will be punished.
4. You cannot quit Kings Game part of the way through.

This anime is another one that is on the fence. The story is ridiculously bad and the characters are very polarizing. You either like them or hate them. There is no in between. Though, through that, you do feel for Nobuaki who is struggling to get his classmates believe him and cooperate with him for the King’s Game. Also, Mamoru Miyano voices Nobuaki which is a definite bonus. (Kei from Ajin) Other than that, you see the darkness pouring out of people as they are whipped into a frenzy each episode. Beyond that though, this is feeling slightly melodramatic about everything. Time is also a slight issue as, since there are 10000 characters, it is hard to tell when he is talking about the past school versus the present school.
