Wow so early, I was expecting an announcement at some point with its strong start but more like next year. I've only read the only localized vol so far but it's already one of my favorite survival in recent years, it gives me Magical Girl Raising Project vibes ( and Though You May Burn to Ash RIP Sad ).

Yeah, this is pretty fantastic. Weaves a tight line past the things that destroy other death game series, and he's just a master of pacing, carefully letting things simmer for just long enough that it pays off even harder once Yuki really starts to move.

I figured the thing about their blood being white and puffing up was specifically designed with an eye towards getting this level of violence on TV, but will still very much need a staff who get it.

A female-centric death game anime with plenty of cosplay and fanservice and possibly Rieri as the lead? Sounds perfect.

Just reading the plot makes me think source manga Yami Yugi would thrive in this situation. Saa, gemu no jikan da! Just don't let Kadokawa turn this into a watered down multimedia project.
