Review of Darwin's Game

I enjoy trash. If you are familiar with Mirai Nikki then you should know where this is going. Again as in Mirai Nikki phones play a very big part. You are screwed if you lose it and stuff. But at least the main character isn't as pathetic as Yukki which is always a huge plus in my book. And this is more like the new era since everyone has smart phones instead of the older types, now you aren't immortal if you own a nokia 3310. By winning games you get points. You can buy shields that removes you from the matchmaking for a week, supplydrops and fucking gacha games. Now you can waste all your points while hoping that you'll get the legendary moms sandal as a weapon. You get points by winning games. I don't know how much points you get by winning but Sadao had like 500 or 600 points after beating Shuka. You can also convert your points into money. 10 equals about 1000000 Yen. So that's a lot of money.

The story starts with some flashy action. Our protagonist sees the app called Darwins game and despite his friend warning him about it he still downloads it and unlocks his Sigil. He then gets matched against a rookie hunter and the game begins. If you lose the you die, you'll disappear in to the void. He through luck wins the game. Then he goes to meet the "Undefeated Queen" and gets into a fight. Then some time passes and a treasure hunt begins. The treasure hunt is like a battle royal where everyone collects these rings that are valuable. The rings are actually a code to unlock the "secret" prize which our heroes try to find and get.

Sudou Kaname is a typical pathetic mc who is again very fucking dumb. He is afraid to kill anyone even if his life is on the line. His special Sigil is creating items, I think. But he can't create much, we have only seen a pistol and a stun gun. Well later on in the end he actually grew some balls and fucked some shit up. Karino Shuka is girl who is titled the "Undefeated Queen" Even though he lost to Sudou because bullshit. Her special Sigil is Telekinesis. She teamed up with Saduo after her loss. She is still feared by many. Her weapon is a chain that has kunais in the ends. Rein Kashiwagi is a girl and works as an Information Broker. Her Sigil is the ability to see the future. She uses it pretty well. She teamed up with Sudou to fight against the florist. She uses a Sniper Rifle. Sui/Souta: Sui is the main host of the body but her brothers ghost/spirit resides within the same body. Sui is very shy and scared of everything while Souta is not scared, brave angry as heck and everything but shy. Ryuuji Maesaka is another player who Kaname picked up when the treasure hunt started. He started off by being controlled by the florist but later on he teamed with Kaname. He wears very heavy armor and uses an lmg as his main weapon. His sigil is pretty useless, it is just lie detection.

The opening is very good. The animation and visuals are on point and the music is very nicely chosen to compliment the visuals. The opening is very good and one of my favourites this season.

If you have shit taste and enjoy trash then watch this. Or if you liked Mirai Nikki then also watch this. Of course the premise or characters may turn people off but if you are willing to try then watch this.
