• Synopsis: “An unknowing Sudou Kaname is invited to try out a new mysterious mobile app game called Darwin’s Game, but later realizes that he’s in for more than he’s bargained for when he finds out that there’s no way to quit the game.” -Darwin’s Game (manga)

First Impression:

I’m not going to lie I have no idea what I’m getting myself into…but then again…do I ever?

Awww look it’s a cute little mobile game! Oh my god, it’s an adorable panda with a knife!

PANDA WITH KNIFE ISN’T SO CUTE ANYMORE.

We interrupt this program to bring you this CUTIE ALERT.

Now if only they’d deliver my 5 star waifus when I win them in gatcha…

A waifu that can kill me? I can finally die in peace…

Recommendation:

NO

Well…that ended up being more of a montage of terrible jokes than an actual first impression. Darwin’s Game’s first episode ends at a whopping 48 minutes! It’s quite a commitment to start the show and to be honest…I don’t think it’s worth it. The first episode shows what the animation and the storyline will give us the next 11 episodes and I’m intrigued but not awed. First of all, the choices made by the protagonist, Kaname, are questionable at best. The story also moves at an insane pace, even with the 48 minutes that it had. I’m really iffy about the show but will continue for the sake of ANIME SCIENCE!
