I will rate this after I am done with other anime and stuff
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
I have yet to write this... because I am lazy or something
Hope's Peak is a high school for only the most elite of elites of students. In order to even be considered for admission you have to be a super level of something. Whether that something be Baseball, being an idol, fashion, or, in the case of Naegi, Luck. Going to school here means that you are already a success and graduating from here will set you up for life. For Naegi, this was supposed to be the start of a who new wonderful chapter in his life, or so he thought
Naegi placed one foot in the gateway of this high school then suddenly woke up in a classroom. The only thing to tell him to do anything was a small note that said meet in the Gym. There Naegi met his fellow classmates 14 to be exact. This is also where they met the principle of the school. Everyone was expecting the curriculum to be difficult. However, turns out the only way to graduate from this school is to kill a fellow classmate and get away with it. However, if you kill your fellow classmate and get caught, you receive a punishment, well I guess it is more like an execution. Will Naegi have any chance for survival?
Season 1 Episode 12
The Small Things
You know sometimes I hate mystery novels/animes/whatever. I mean they smallest story breaking clues always seem to be right in the beginning. I won't say what clue it is, after all why spoil the mystery for you guys. All I know is that I am a bit miffed at how that worked out. I do remember thinking that something was odd about what was said in the particular early episode I saw. Oh well I guess you just have to live and learn I guess. Still I really wish that there would be more clues throughout the show, not just at the last minute.
Plus there are always crucial clues that we miss because we cannot see the objects in question. For instance the photos, we only get a quick glance at what... 4 of them? Not enough to establish any kind of pattern. Plus we get to add the pain of having to freeze frame to see the clues entirely. I guess that is one major advantage to just playing the game. I can sit down and look at things and figure stuff out. That kind of kills the fun of the mystery animes.
Season 1 Episode 8
Another AI
You know I have never understood what obsession in the world is with artificial intelligence. Even more so I will not understand why it takes an entire computer to write the interface for the artificial intelligence. You know it is kind of funny to think about really it is. I mean how many times has an artificial intelligence had a personality and then done something really stupid.
I am not one to really judge, but you would think that a computer would have a little more sense. I mean everyone knows there is surveillance everywhere. That would be the first thing that I would check for if I made a network, check and alert me of all new connections. It is kind of funny how much of an imprint simply logging into a network can have. Well whatever I guess they needed to get rid of that little annoyance.
Season 1 Episode 2
Not Just Talk
Ok so it is rare to see an anime that has this style that is not all talk when it comes to death. You know everyone plots and plays nicely together and no one dies not matter what happens. Well that was a pleasant surprise for a change. Heck I was kind of surprised at who was the first to go. I mean I did not really expect that at all. I was expecting something a bit more boring and predictable. Oh well at least I can say this is enjoyable in that sense. Granted I wonder if they will speed things up anymore. I mean you cannot just wipe one student an episode... then again.. maybe you can. I do not know, I guess I will just have to see.
Season 1 Episode 4
So this is a game
Huh well you know I kind of suspected that this might be based off of a game and so it is based off a game. I guess I am not surprised, all these animations and text screens and stuff yeah this is a game, I confirmed with research. I guess I am a little shocked, then again most animes that become games do not work in as many game devices as this game does. I mean seriously, they pull out all the stops for this anime and make it worth watching as an anime while keeping to the novelty of it being a game.
