Anime Digest
Yuuichi Katagiri has promised his four best friends that they will all go on a trip together. After the class’ money is all collected, it’s stolen! Suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi’s friends, Shiho Sawaragi and Makoto Shibe. Soon afterwards, the five of them are kidnapped, and put into a “friendship game”.
The Feel-Good Part
In terms of entertainment, this show isn’t half awful. There are times when watching the show gets incredibly unpleasant, and I was on the verge of abandoning it. But, like our beloved Mirai Nikki, which is edgy but incredibly pleasant, there are times when the show is pretty enjoyable. The soundtrack is undoubtedly the most enjoyable aspect of the performance. It comes close to matching the show’s scenes.
The Disappointing Factor
They have an opportunity to win enough money to pay off the debt by participating in minigames. The main purpose, as the viewer may have guessed, is to rip apart our nice group of pals. Why? We still don’t know. In fact, if you think a little while watching this totally uninteresting show, you can simply guess everything that happens.
In-Depth Analysis
Yuuichi Katagiri, a high school student, values his close group of friends, which includes Yutori Kokorogi, Shiho Sawaragi, Makoto Shibe, and Tenji Mikasa. When the finances for the impending school trip are stolen, however, Shiho and Makoto, who were tasked with collecting the funds, become estranged from the rest of their class. Yuuichi and his companions are tricked into meeting up and knocked out by unknown assailants not long after. The gang awakens in a white room with the controversial figure Manabu-kun, who says that one of the five has called them together to clear a personal debt of twenty million yen. To pay off the debt, they must play a series of psychological games that will put their relationship and compassion to the test.
Yuuichi and his buddies are distressed and isolated from the outside world, and they must work together to accomplish the games. Their seemingly indestructible friendship may soon fracture into irreparable pieces as their hidden feelings and troubled pasts surface.
Star Power
This is the most generic set of friends you could imagine! We’ve got the attractive girl, the shy girl, the likeable guy, the smart guy with glasses, and our main MC – a loser with an IQ of 200 who will use everyone else to get the most out of this circus. It’s impossible to take this story seriously because all of their actions, secrets, hidden agendas, and anything else are so predictable and cringe-worthy.
Overall Opinion
Tomodachi Game’s first few episodes are disappointing in a number of ways, but anime is anime. Viewers can have a wide range of reactions to anime. That is one of the things that makes this game so enjoyable.
