The survival game genre feels like a disease that just doesn't seem to go away these days. Sure, they're not as popular in the anime medium compared to the video game industry. Yet, some of them still lands a spot on television. One of them is called Battle Game in 5 Seconds.

Now I could argue that the anime industry has been dominated by the isekai trope in recent years. But once in awhile, there's an anime about survival games. Battle Game in 5 Seconds was chosen to be adapted into a 12-episode anime series despite the manga having over 17 volumes and ongoing. Yes, it ...

Battle game in 5 seconds. I haven't read the manga and I came in with absolutely no expectations just hoping for a show that would pass the time. Man it didn't disappoint.

Keep in mind I extremely enjoyed Darwins Game and this season is practically identical to it and it has kept me intrigued this whole time. So from the very start of this series I immediately enjoyed the series. The story is very similar to that of darwins game with people gaining random powers in order to survive the events that are taking place. It's a pretty cliché story but it's one that I tend ...

The death game genre has reached a pit of mediocrity in modern anime standards. Most shows in this genre usually turns out to be god awful from the start, or has a decent beginning but crashes and burns in the end. So when I saw a new death game anime in this season, my immediate reaction was “Not another one” a saying DJ Khaled would be really offended by. But I’m honestly surprised to see this show hold up pretty well, enough to get me to watch the whole thing, start to finish…or it did at first. Does that mean it’s great? No, not really.

So, to keep it short, the dynamic of the show was: bad premise, quite good continuation, and gradually getting worse second half. Despite having one of the most stereotypical and bad premises out of there (and also character introductions), the following episodes got way better and actually interesting, only for the growth to be completely thrown out of a window later, with the story becoming stagnant, typical, and boring. The characters don't really help either, not even the interesting back stories being able to save the show. The fact that it loses its realistic factor, that made the characters feel human, only makes it completely ...

This will be one of my first reviews so I'll be blunt and the reviews may contain spoilers. The anime tells how our protagonist Shiroyanagi Akira and other individuals find themselves in this classroom with a mysterious character who explains what happened after losing outside the room (this is a guess that he takes as "proof" what happened to the MC) and after killing a person and explaining the situation each player is taken to their respective rooms to reflect on what to do and to understand how their superpower works and also to test it. It all comes in a mysterious way and in ...

“Battle Game in 5 Seconds” is what happens when You have a pretty nice idea to put a twist on a survival game genre but get lazy almost as soon as You show it off for the first time.

The plot follows one Akira Shiroyanagi. One day when he was out and about he got attacked by a mysterious humanoid. Keeping his cool and using his intellect and love of games, he manages to kill it. As a reward he gets killed.
He wakes up, fully healed, in a mysterious place, surrounded by other people, where a sociopathic catgirl declares that everyone there was chosen to ...

In terms of the anime's story, it's actually unique because every time there is a fight scene they immediately fight after meeting for 5 seconds. The strength of each character is quite unique. The battle scenes in this anime rely on strategy so I don't get bored while watching them. The opening song in this anime is a banger. For the ending song, I think it's normal and nothing special. What makes this anime less good is the animation that looks stiff and lacks detail so that the battle scenes that should be epic and exciting are now ordinary. Perhaps this is due to rushed ...

really liked this anime and enjoyed i was shocked when I saw its rating here I was hoping something of 8 but everyone have its opinion
the idea of the anime is old but its only for 2 to 3 epis that u feel that way but after that, u really see the difference
it was a continuous thriller u can expect anything to happen MC usually win but how he wins against strong opponents really matters for the anime and this anime exactly shows that
MC has a very sharp and insightful personality but it doesn't look a bit overboard

What makes a good battle royale show? Is it the story of where and how it all started? Is it the crew of characters that each and everyone of them have their wishes fulfilled? Or is it...a death game where if you die, you're dead forever both in-game and IRL (like in SAO)? For Deatte 5-byou de Battle a.k.a Battle Game in 5 seconds, truly in 5 seconds, you'll come to see that this show is just purely "All according to Keikaku." the Animation in all of its average drabness across the entire anime's run.

This plot for this anime seems pretty generic, for now it reminds me of the tournament arc in Hunter x Hunter with some aspects of Deadman Wonderland. In this anime, each person is given a unique power and they have to undergo a series of challenges for an unspecified reason. I'm very interested in seeing what the main character can do considering his interesting power, so I will be looking forward to each of the new episodes.

Not sure how many episodes this can be, but from the looks of it, this is the type of show where either a lot will go wrong and ...

MILD SPOILERS AHEAD (Episode 2, 3)

Story: 7
From someone who very much enjoyed Darwin's Game, I have to say that the story also resonates with me. I find myself in these types of situations often, and I'm glad they made a show to reflect that part of my experience. I think the story flowed naturally and had an interesting, unique chronological structure. If Quentin Tarantino directed an anime, this would have to be it. The story does have its shortcomings, especially with ability limitations. For example, how come Akira doesn't ask Yuri to summon a nuke for him? Or make him immortal, like Vegeta from DBZ? ...

this was a master piece in its on. i wonder if their is a second season. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time. the part where they ended up back home had me thinking how wicked and weird.
I wonder if he negotiated with neon to let them all go back home and be free but still participate in the game. since the game gives them a thrill and different form of life they were all searching for. truly loved this. i like how their where parts of the scene that looked like the game. and i also felt bad for ...

This anime has been on the low probably because of his visuals and his overall aspect in my opinion visually didn’t look so bad even tho it looked a bit oldish.

But I’ll start by saying I think he deserve a mid 7

Even IF:

Sure the story is a déjà vu and the main character act as if he was the kid from kirito on SAO and light yagami in DEATH NOTE.

I feel like the anime is getting a lot of low notes from people who doesn’t see all the work behind an anime and can’t get another look from their first impression

Because sure the Art doesn’t ...

Here I am again, reviewing another anime of the season.
Anime: Deatte 5-byou de Battle/Battle Game in 5 Seconds

An anime with a not so good story, I believe it is for the mediocre, for the lowly. The way the premise is approached, I found it very uninteresting and the way it is done, makes me want to go to sleep and say "I watched it, but I didn't understand it, lol", but also, depending on the point of view, the story is very superficial and makes you join a disinterest and watch it just for or for the protagonist having a relatively high middle ground and ...

WARNING: Contains mild spoilers

Story: 8/10

The concept of this anime is really nice but it is not very well presented. I feel like the story is interesting and some of the fight scenes are quite enjoying to watch. The plot twists in Battle Game 5 Seconds is nice too. Even though the pacing might be a bit fast, they explained the plot well enough for me to give it an 8/10.

Art: 4/10

5 episodes in the anime the art was pretty decent. The art style is definitely unique from other anime you can find out there. However, the CGI is trash. I feel like ...

Negatives +
After 5 episodes this anime has had some incredibly mediocre moments. Mostly a backstory which has gore, sex, child abuse and other things. It's not that I don't like the backstory because of those things, but I'm not amazed by the creativity or happy when those are the only things that were told so far, -1 point for me.
The other thing that I still find lacking though I'm only at episode 5 is the game element in the show. There's been quite a few very powers that aren't exactly new and the game where the characters wasn't explained at all, so when ...

This one was tough to rate. I feel like it has a great premise and story, but that it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. Having not read the light novel / manga, I won't know if this is just an adaptation issue.

The battle royal and how it's executed are pretty great. You have straightforward villians and a protagonist who isn't afraid of getting his hands dirtty and both of those combined keep you engaged.

The problem is just that sometimes the plot trips over itself trying to be clever and throw in twists. I feel like it's a bit too "clever" for ...

Deatte 5-byou de Battle does nothing innovative with the death game genre. If you're into these types of shows, then you'll find it acceptable, and if you don't, then you'll think it's trash.
I don't think Darwin's game is anything innovative or anything, but Deatte 5-byou de Battle doesn't even try with it's pilot episode. It's pretty clear that the author wanted to get the beginning out of the way so the death battles can begin. An extremely intelligent and convenient MC is shown in the very beginning, is which he's trying to "immerse himself in a game to escape reality" is coincidentally, given an ...

I hate long reviews. And mostly review for future self-reflection's sake.

short
MC is an avid reddit user on r/im14andthisisdeep sub. After another casual day of living the privileged life but being too deep and misunderstood by world, he skips school, opting instead to spend time as his heroes do, wandering the streets and being a public menace. He gets kidnapped so badly animated Squid game x X-men death match can start. Plot doesn't progress anywhere, gives no reason to sympathize with any of characters and series viewer base is based on cliff hanger addicts.

I was surprised when this anime was first announced. I thought the survival game / battle royale genre has been left far behind in the early 2010s, since we are deep into the isekai era right now (for better or, probably, for worse). So while the key visual and PVs for this anime did not inspire much excitement, I was cautiously expecting an at least somewhat average palate cleanser with a hint of nostalgia. Well, that's pretty much what I got.

I have not read the manga, so I will judge this purely based on the anime. This is pretty much the bog-standard death game anime ...
