Today, Death Games are no longer as popular in the public consciousness as they used to be. This is a very conservative genre that tends to stick to the same clichés, but there are some exceptional titles that you can have a great time with.
Death Parade has an interesting take on the afterlife. In this series, unlike other titles, people do not end up in heaven or hell, but in a mysterious place, similar to a bar, where they have to participate in a survival game.
While the plot is quite predictable in some aspects, Death Parade stands out for its setting and exceptional direction. This is not surprising, as the series was developed by the Madhouse studio, known for Monster and Death Note.
Deadman Wonderland also captivates with its setting. Here, the battle royale takes place within the walls of a private prison, which resembles an amusement park, where the Death Games are watched by anonymous spectators.
The contrast between the typical shonen imagery with many eccentric characters and the incredible violence makes Deadman Wonderland a unique series.
Tomodachi Game explores Death Game from a slightly different angle. The main characters are several close friends who get manipulated by a mysterious stranger who questions the strength of friendship. He drives them in the Death Game.
While Tomodachi Game doesn't feature any extreme violence, it is a masterfully crafted psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
As we have seen, the creators are ready to place the Death Games in almost any setting. There was a prison, there was a bar, what was missing? A school, of course. Danganronpa: The Animation (Danganronpa: Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei The Animation) fills this gap by telling the story of a battle royale set in an elite school.
Success here depends on murders. To graduate a student needs to kill a classmate and remain undetected. If other students find the culprit, he will be executed. The truly high stakes and detective intrigue make Danganronpa: The Animation a great watch.
Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) is probably the most famous Death Game in anime. It’s a battle royale for the place of God who rules time and space. Every participant has a special diary with predictions on the future.
However, the story is not so much based on a unique concept, but on the special chemistry between the main characters — the schoolboy Yukiteru and the yandere Yuno, who is in love with him. A rare example of how a love story can be combined with the Death Game.
No one is safe.
