Finished it, fukked with the ending tbh....

Like it much as season 1 but first 4-5 episodes of season 1 was definitely when it was at it's peak.
Agreed. The ending was cool. I thought people would retain more though.

Dissapointing to put it mildly

Too many flashbacks for characters I didn't care about and the dialogue was super cheesy.

I found myself turning on the English dub at times so that I could go on my phone whilst the characters rattled on with their monologues.:russell:

Not enough focus on the games (some of them just took place in the form of montages)

The female characters were too OP. They just dominated every single physical challenge in the show. It's like they were all given a dose of the super soldier serum. :comeon:


Worst part of the season by far though was Arisu:scust: . Damn was that dude fukking annoying. He looked like he was on the verge of tears 99% of the time he was on screen.

Overly talkative and corny. There was a moment where the King of Spades was mowing people down in the streets and this guy still had the time to make a long dramatic pause when answering a simple fukking question. :why:

The most damning moment for me was in Episode 7 where the rest of the crew was fighting for their lives in the alley, and this guy was in the 7-Eleven playing around with toilet spray. One damn job to do and he nearly botched it too. I'm suprised the writers didn't make him pass out from all that aerosol just for dramatic effect.:what:

Every single thing about him this season was just awful. :hhh:

Just glad they've seemingly wrapped it up in two seasons because I'm not sure if I would stick around for a 3rd season.

4.5/10 for me

Akane makes me want to run back The Naked Director again. She was on there as a pornstar :mjlit:

:mjgrin: But they were always OP, they showed since S1 that Spade games were Usagi and Kuina's specialty, Usagi parkour'd and saved Arisu's ass in the Tag game and even outran a flood in Distance :dead:, Kuina destroyed Last Boss unarmed. An is most likely a Diamond expert but she spent most of this season on some Dora the Explorer shyt and only got montage games with Kuina.

Yeah, underrated gem. Akane's actress doesn't appear until season 2 though. Niragi's nasty ass guest starred too.

Finished the season (Whole season spoilers below)
The season was good. It started way too crazy though. King of Spades was on some Legendary Halo 2 Jackal Sniper shyt. Didn't make any sense. King of Spades was probably my least favourite game. I'm all for plot protection but this dude was a 90% shooter hitting everything from the stars to missing these guys until the very end. And even then these guys turned into idiots and got gunned in point blank.

Chishiya was the best character in both seasons honestly. He was crucial to fleshing out the thinking games in this one. Anne didn't really do shyt. The way Niragi was coughing up blood I thought he would have died early but they kept him around for whatever reason. If they wanted to take Chishiya out for the last couple games they could have found a better way. Aguni was cool. The other characters were whatever. They did their job. Heiya must be Wolverine or some shyt to have her leg infected, amputated and fit with a prosthetic and able to move around in less than 7 days.

I don't think the games were as strong this season from a thinking stand point (a lot of "Talk no Justu") but it was a shorter season. I enjoyed it though. I figured it would be some coma shyt. The hints about meteors dropping though I definitely would not have went that route. Fun show.

The surgeon that saved Heiya probably carried her the next few games for more puss. :mjgrin:

just finished. I liked it. still processing. those were some LONG episodes. I do have some issues.

the games in this season sucked. the shipyard one they were there for like 3 eps and it had a cool payoff, but didn't grab me much. the one with the numbers and the acid was the worst though. the prison one was dope to me. and i liked the lasertag joint. I also lked the king of spades and the post apocalyptic feel of the world in this season. dude was a straight t100 style menace.
i hated how everyone he killed came back or wouldn't die. i hate how modern shows and movies lack the balls to keep characters dead. it's infuriating.
. the japanese are a bit too overly melodramatic and monologue longer than a mike flanagan show.

also still trying to figure out what the last ep/ending meant. but i do like these characters.

this show makes me want to book a one way ticket to japan :lawd:
