Battle Game in 5 Seconds

One one the worst anime that still manages to be entertaining. *clap* *clap* The chara design is ugly, the story has no consistence, everything is utter garbage, from the lack of imagination (half of the characters have the same power, gg) to the animation (see for yourself, sometimes the eyes are misplaced). Nothing really makes sense, it seems to have been written by a retarded but edgy middle schooler with aphantasia. Note that the main character -who is an alleged genius- explains everything he does and makes everyone very uncomfortable. Indeed, you will discover people jumping into water become wet. Tips: watch it as a comedy.

If you had a magic genie in a lamp and were dumb enough to ask it, "give me a completely mid death game anime", 'Battle Game in Five Seconds!' is probably what you'd get. The first thing you'll notice about the show is the characters - or lack thereof, effectively. The main character has no personality or backstory outside of liking 'games.' The only thing outside of that is that he mentions something about his parents in passing to the main girl, and that he seems generally against the idea of killing people (except the first episode where he seems fine with it?). The main girl's only personality is that she really doesn't like things that are random and was abused by her mother. Every single character in this show can be described in one short sentence, which has usually been written somewhere else before. (side note, the first four episodes have a non-proportionally high amount of perverted characters, scenes, or goonbait which turned me off somewhat) Now, tell me if you've heard this before: "Battle Game in Five Seconds"'s last arc is a game of 'capture the enemy leader' that takes place in a forest, where they have phones they use to contact each other and exchange points for certain rewards. If you've seen anywhere near the amount of anime that I have (which chances are you have its not an impressive amount) you might immediately thought, "Hey! That sounds like the first season of Classroom of the Elite!" Or some of you may have even thought of Tomodachi Game, which happens to do the exact same thing... My point is that this show is so predictable that you can probably guess everything that will happen in it before it happens so long as you have any experience in the genre. All information about all of the characters can be inferred just by looking at them. This show will not surprise you in any way, shape or form, outside of a handful of potential outliers. Now, this isn't all to say Battle Game in Five Seconds is BAD. I had fun watching it, even if I was never close to the edge of my seat. The way the default characters interact leaves you with just enough hope that they may actually grow or change in some way (although they don't and you will be disappointed). The action scenes are somewhat exciting and the mind games vary in quality, but have good payoff. The only thing I'd say the show is really GOOD at, is creating characters you really think deserve what's coming for them. Overall, Battle Game in Five Seconds! is a show I can only really recommend to others like me who just want more death game anime. Even then this show will not move you, and if not then you probably won't like it at all.

One can do worse than watch this to kill some time. It's one of those shows that sets up a premise and hopes you don't think about it. The moment you start thinking what main character could do with his power whole thing falls apart and starts feeling completely pointless. However he is mysterious to a right degree and entertaining enough to carry this flawed story to the end without being tiresome. Other characters are also well designed if a bit simple in nature. Animation is very competent with one exception, one of main villains of the story, who for some reason directors of this show decided to do with CGI. Stiff movements but at least well shaded. Everything else looked hand drawn to me with this one very obvious and jarring exception. All things considered it's a very solid 6/10. Story could have been deeper and a bit more unique, world building should have been better and use of poor CGI didn't help the score either. Overall I enjoyed it, while not perfect ignoring lacking elements didn't pose too much of an issue.

This containsild mild spoiler ... ... ... .. ... To be honest i thought this anime is trash but i kinda liked it. The characters have a good story... But the ending scene of the villon flashback is lame, bit they have made the animation of the main villain is damn good and the flight scean of the both of number 1 and the Big booby girl was good. And the mc is cool and the bad ass ... I am giving this rating 8/10 Animation 9/10 Story8/10 Sound8/10 This is tipical mc guy where he hides his ability to others untill he finds his trust worthy one.

The whole anime can be summed up in 4 words: "a worse Darwin's Game" The characters are given powers are are forced to engage each other in combat, which has been done before plenty, however this example is pretty bland. The characters with the more interesting abilities are side characters and it all devolves down to the main character using his somewhat interesting ability. However, since his ability requires him to manipulate what others think to use it, the whole anime just devolves into a nonsensical mind game where it's like: "haha! I knew you were going to think that therefore I planned ahead and made preparations" "oh I knew you were going to make those preparations so I prepared to counter your preparations" "I knew you were going to prepare to counter my preparations so I prepared to counter your counter to my preparations" until the viewer is just there like "yup, he's the main character, he can't lose". Like what many others think, the beginning and end were lackluster at best. The ending was particularly unfulfilling, with a setup for a next season, though I doubt I'd want to watch the next season. A lot of the available powers we see are strong but boring, which is good if you're a player, but as a viewer I'd want something more interesting than useful. I can't interact with any of the powers myself what do I care about their efficacy in battle? There are 2 main abilities we're shown: arm cannon and quintuple physical abilities. One turns your arm into a big gun and one makes you stronger by a factor of 5. Both are useful but bland and they're so often shoved in our face. With the only limit being the creator's imagination, I find it hard to think of a reason why so many powers are so bland and why so many of them are reused. If you want a comparison of what a creator can do with custom powers, look to the nen system in Hunter x Hunter. The creator took time and created a lot of unique abilities and even though the Enhancer category of nen users boiled down to just "I make myself or something I have stronger" that was made up for by their applications and personalities. Speaking of characters, we barely get any character development for the main character and almost nothing for our side characters. One of my favorite side character's back story was fully explained with a 15 second flashback. I'm torn because I usually hate when the story focuses too much on side characters, but with almost no representation, it barely feels like any of the side characters exist outside of MC's story. Some of the characters have a lot of potential, but the main group doesn't have a lot of potential, they felt like they were made to be self-inserts. This anime also suffers from the 3D animation struggle. It's much easier to animate a fight scene using 3D animation rather than 2D, but it feels jarring and ugly a lot of the time, and this anime is no exception. All-in-all it's just bland. Not really anything that makes it bad other than a lack of things that make it good. There are plenty of good anime out there so why not watch something with a lot of charm or character over an anime that's just here. It took me so long to finish this anime because it's hard to come back and finish something when there were other anime I preferred to watch in my dwindling free time.

Battle game in 5 seconds, let me sum it up. It started off pretty strong and from there got progressively worse until it was an absolute train wreck. Don't even know why I finished the entire anime. It's main problem is the horrendous CG in the later episodes. Its a decent anime around a 7ish i'd say until the latter half where you start to notice Beserk quality CG pop up here and there until the main characters and main antagonist are fighting entirely in awful CG. This anime would be fine if it continued the art and animation quality from the earlier episodes but because it didn't I would not recommend watching. Towards the end all you can focus on is how bad the CG is and it just ruins the anime.

*This review will contain some minor spoilers* Had some great ideas but sadly ruined it with the handling of the abilities later in the story. It can be quite hard to find something new, something fresh in the supernatural genre when it comes down to abilities. But to my suprise, this is where Battle Game 5 seconds picked me up in the first place. The ability of Akira, the main character, is "whatever the other person thinks it is". From the point where I got to know about his ability, I was looking forward how he would psychologically trick the other characters to use the full potential of it. My perception was, that he really needed to make the others "believe", that his ability is XY... Unfortunately, when the anime goes more into how his ability works, it is revealed, that this is not the case. Later down in the series, Akira befriends with another participant of the death game in the name of Yuuri and ends up telling her about his real ability. She now knows the truth of his ability, so his ability won't work on or with her anymore, right? right? Wrong. From this point on, Akira is basically a god, because unlike I thought, he doesn't need to make others truly believe that his ability is this or that. Nope, he only needs someone to literally think or imagine a specific ability, thinking it is his; and BOOM, that's the ability he will have. That means, as long as Yuuri is on his side he can practically use any ability he... well to be correct... Yuuri can imagine. For me this is what killed this anime. From that point on, why didn't he just use some OP ability to get the hell out of this place or just insta-kill his enemies? A lot of questions to be asked... So, the story is very poorly written, not only because of how the abilites are handled but also because in some fights, somehow, the characters are predicting the predictions of other characters. As an example: "Haha, I predicted you would make that move, I was prepared for that" - other character: "Haha, I predicted that you would predict my move, it was a trap all along!", and that went on for like 3 more times IN ONE FIGHT. On the other hand the animation isn't too great (but it's also not bad either). The characters are all right and you can sympathize with some of them. However there are also characters whose motivation I can literally not understand and that don't make a lot of sense to me. Overall, as I said in the beginning, this anime had some aspects that could've made it interesting, especially the ability of the MC. Unfortunately, they handled it very badly and the rest is just mediocre at best. I wouldn't really recommend you to watch this show.

I really like survival and battle royale animes, and this one was not left out. I went with little hope of being good, even though I was the type I liked, and luckily, I was surprised and really liked what I saw. Points that I found positive: I found the scheme of powers that was used and the way they are interpreted very interesting as well. The protagonist is really good for the anime, I didn't see a negative point in him. The stages that players go through are also pretty cool and shows how the power that each player has can be used in many different ways, in addition to making people act in different ways too. Points I found negative: The anime should have done the "villains" in a better way, as most of them are pretty boring and don't bring any impact to the person watching. Another negative point, is the stories behind each character that are very bad, which also end up not bringing any impact to the person who is watching.Finally, the last negative point is the 3D animation, which is horrible.

Deatte 5-byou de Battle is a 'survival game' anime, a lot like Darwin game. It is a pretty straightforward shonen show, with a protagonist who has the super power of talking his enemies to death (to get his ability to work, he had to have a conversation with his enemies first) Yet despite that, it was fun to watch. The side characters are well written and not just cardboard cutouts. they had their own flaws and motivations. And the protagonist's solutions (mostly) made sense (though why his enemies gave him time to implement them makes no sense). If you are looking for a light action show with good characters dynamics, Deatte 5-byou de Battle is worth a watch

Deatte 5-byou de Battle to put it simply wasn't very good, from the first episode I was a bit sketchy but I stuck through with it and then there was a really good ep at the start of the next arc that got me like weirdly hyped - it looked like the show was gonna go in the exact direction I wanted to but it just kinda flopped after. I did really like our main two characters but that's about it, they definitely carried. The art and animation were pretty terrible, people would turn CGI mid fight and it was just like???? ok??? Anyways I don't have much more to say so, in conclusion I wouldn't recommend this show there were few redeeming qualities but I will admit it was quite entertaining so if you wanna watch a bad show I think this is a good bad one to watch!

Battle game in 5 seconds Battle gane in 5 was an okay anime at the start i was really excited for what would come next it was very interesting in the beginning and stayed interesting early on. Sadly when we reached the middle of the series things started to slip with changes in animation styles amd some lackluster fight scenes. The story had some really good parts where i was hooked and couldnt wait until the next episode but near the end i was just like oh the new episode came out....The story itself is interesting its just the way its presented that was turning me away especially with the fight scenes. In some fight scenes they use CG animation now dont get me wrong there is good CG out there but to switch so abruptly and to do it multiple time within the same fight scene switching back and forth between normal and CG looks weird and off putting. The story itself was enough to keep me coming back every week because i always wanted to see what would happen next. And if a season 2 does come out I'll watch it because im interested in what is going to happen next. I just hope they do better with the fight scenes and animation. I feel like the entire experience of this story is better in the manga maybe one day I'll pick that up. The charecter designes are average charecters look nice but thers nothing too crazy going on. When they go into CG they look kind of weird. But the main antagonist in particular is a BADDIE😍 The music for battle game in 5 seconds specifically the opening and ending themes were great the OP is good i didnt listen to it everytime bit it was still good for what it was but the ED was Great i bopped my head to that at the end of every episode. Battle game in 5 seconds was an ok show the story was very interesting and constantly kept me wanting to watch more but the lackluster fight scenes and abrupt switches in animation style made the experience a little off putting. I honestly feel like the manga probably does all of these things so much better but i haven't read the manga maybe one day i will but for now heres hoping for a better season2. Rating 6/10

((CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS! Here's your spoiler warning, please don't let me ruin your viewing experience of this masterpiece, go watch it before you read any further! OR save yourself some time and go smash your head into a wall, that wouldn't be a very different experience than watching this anime)). Mayoiga, Ousama Game, Satsuriku no Tenshi, Mahou Shoujo Site, Darwin's Game, Talentless Nana, and recently High-rise Invasion. What do these have in common? They're cheaply made attempts at the survival sub-genre, and they can be summed up as a bunch of random ideas slapped together with amateurish writing. They also tend to be badly directed and animated as if the staff didn't care, and rightfully so, because I would've wanted to get things over with and go home too if I was working on creating a dumpster fire. There's one secret factor though, that if one of these shows managed to pull off it'd be actually decent. Can you guess what it is? Embracing its own stupidity is what it is! You see, the reason movies like The Room are very popular despite being an abomination, is because they know they're bad but they don't care, you get this genuine sense of entertainment from them as if they just wanted you to have a good time, they don't reflect any ego from the writer, they don't pretend to be smart. Now I have enjoyed most of these shows I mentioned above, but it's all for the wrong reasons, I am willing to give them bad ratings regardless of the enjoyment factor because they take themselves too seriously, they are not self aware about their own lack of good writing, characterization, or even directing. The only exception from this list is High-rise Invasion, that show knew it's stupid and doubled down on its stupidity on purpose, which made it pure entertainment, I'd elaborate but this review is not about that, this review is about Darwin's Ga- umm sorry, which one was it again? "Battle Game in 5 Seconds", honestly I did not expect to get a new addition to the list this early on but here we have it, an anime that's no different than the aforementioned dumpster fires, it just stinks as badly as each one of them. One thing "Battle Game in 5 Seconds" has in common with some of these shows is how they attempt to setup some sort of a survival game, but the writer doesn't understand that games need rules, so you get these conditions where characters have to fight, collect points, form teams, etc. But we don't get to see any rules or mechanics in play aside from some vague smart app bullshit that never gets explained, because that'd require the writer to actually think for once, instead they prefer to keep things vague so they can do whatever they want, they have the characters duke it out with little to no logic and then have the audacity to have the protagonist over-explain the simplest events on hind sight as if it was some sort of a brilliant strategy, and he almost always hilariously sounds so confident and cool that he ends up reeking of rotten cheese. Now I really want to stop bringing up this group of bad anime and talk about the one I'm supposed to be reviewing, but I can't help it since "Battle Game in 5 Seconds" is the most generic one of the bunch, I can't talk about it without feeling like I'm referring to other shows, everything in this anime feels like I've seen it somewhere before, the setting, the character designs, the overall feeling of the show, it feels like it was created by an AI that looked up the browsing history of Darwin's Game's author, it's bizarrely artificial and devoid of any form of originality! Alright, let me do what I'm supposed to do and attempt to give you a summary about "Battle Game in 5 Seconds". The show starts by telling us that our protagonist Akira is a school boy (because of course he is) and he plays videogames. That's all you need to know before the first fight scene abruptly begins (you can completely remove the intro and nothing would be lost), Akira is attacked by some monster and dragged into the survival game, and what was his reaction to it? "All I need to do is treat this as a game and I won't lose" and BAM he takes down the monster! Playing mobile games makes you stronger, you know? You should do that more often if you want to be awesome like our protagonist here. So after that Akira gets killed anyway and then wakes up to find himself in another world, and we get into the typical survival game intro: -Protagonist wakes up in a large hall. Check. -The hall is filled with characters with flashy designs. Check. -Every character is silently waiting for the plot, instead of trying to get to know each and assess the situation. Check -A silly character with a silly voice appears and introduces themselves as the main antagonist and the representative of the organization that killed and isekai-ed these people. Check. -Said antagonist randomly kills one of the characters to show how serious they are. Check. -One character asks "Who are you? Why are you doing this?" but gets no answer, because mystery. Check. -The antagonist attempts to explain that these characters are supposed to play some sort of a game, except instead of explaining anything they just go on about how much they enjoy being evil. Check. You know, basically if you played/watched Danganronpa or Zero Escape you have it all figured out already. So here's what should've been the interesting part, the game! What kind of game is it? Well, the characters have super powers and they use them to fight. No really, that's it. I know, compared to other shows of this genre this feels like it's the most basic thing it could've been! What's supposed to be the cool twist however, is the protagonist's super power, which is described as "whatever your opponent thinks is your power, becomes your power", what this convoluted mess means is that if the protagonist can convince his opponent that he has the power to turn his arm into a cannon megaman-style, then he can turn his arm into a cannon. If he can convince them he can use telepathy, then he can use telepathy. If he can convince them that he can make this show not suck, well, some viewers think the show is good so I guess it worked out somehow. Anyway, think of it as a spell that only works against you if you believe in it. Now on paper this has the potential to be a cool device for psychological warfare, maybe someone on the level of Light Yagami would find all kinds of creative ways to do wonders with this power. Unfortunately not even that could happen because it all turned into a confusing mess not too far into the series. In one episode Akira realizes that if one of his previous opponents believes that he can turn his arm into a cannon, then as long as that person is present in the room, Akira can activate his power and use the cannon to shoot a different opponent, even if this new opponent is not convinced that Akira has that power. In a later episode Akira can't turn his arm into a cannon because one guy didn't believe he could, even though there were at least two people in the same room who believed he had that power, so he should've been able to activate it anyway. So a more accurate description of this power would be "whatever suits the writer becomes your power", I hope you're not confused yet because it gets worse... In another episode Akira flat out tells one character about how his real power works, now using common sense you'd think that a power that depends entirely on lying would be rendered completely useless if its true nature is revealed, right? Because now the person knows for a fact what your power really is, so you can't "convince" them that you can "turn your arm into a cannon" or "use telepathy", since they already know these are not your superpowers, Makes sense, right? Except the show does the exact opposite, that character knows how Akira's power works, so now anything he tells her becomes his power, he only needs to say "trust me"! If he wants to use teleportation he only needs …

the story and concept is good but the cgi butchered the whole experience. CGI looks like its done by interns. Fight scenes would be better off without the cgi. very mediocre experience..gg. the only detailed chracter was only the pink chick. other characters were bland. the story and concept is good but the cgi butchered the whole experience.

Story: This kind of isekai with a supreme queen is just a other approach of the genre. Nothing is really new, but, it's not bad. The powers and the phases are a good way of linking the arcs. The last arc is the "least bad", and you may have some anxiety while you watch it. Art & Sound: If you like art and sound, just don't watch. It's horrible. I may say that sound is fair, but art is a complete mess. There's a moment in the series that they start mixing 3d and 2d characters and effects, but none of them are good. The early episodes have just a regular animation, but it gets really worst. Character: I've really enjoyed the two main characters - Akira and Yuuri. You may imagine that they develop some kind of romance during the series, and that seems like true. But, this anime is not a romance, at least not in these 12 eps. Akira makes me remember of Kira (from Death Note), mainly because of his intelligence and strategies. Enjoyment: Here, I may say that you'll love or hate it, there are not much people in the between. It's a Isekai story with a psicopath protagonist that recieves a good superpower. There's some girls that like him, and etc. Yes, it looks like SAO. But, they're quite different. Overall: It's not good, and it's not bad. I liked the personality of Akira, and enjoyed his strategies. This and the existence of Mion, made this anime some interesting to me. How ever, I don't really think most people would like it. So, if the first episode took your attention, give it a try. The series doesn't change much throughout the eps.

This anime it's like a version of btoom mixed with Darwins game straight from hell that is used to torture people, the animation its not the worst animation i ever see but its bad, the soundtrack its bad nothing good there and the history and the characters ist medicocre, overall in the best scenario the anime is mediocre, I had a horrible time watching this anime but ist not the worst i have seen its just a dumb history with a awful animation. I dont recomend you to watch this, but if you a interested in this history go to the manga looks way better them this awful adaptation.
