The animation was better, the direction finally improved, and the pacing was proper. I loved it, what a fun episode.

Idk how the small of version of akiyama is supposed to be looking maybe some suggestions or references by you guys might help 🙂🙂

“This seems familiar.”

I wasn’t sure if i should paint her dress and flowers cuz it’s giving wedding dress 😭. Let me know what you think.

I don't understand why in the 2nd pic, the part circled in red is said.

I thought the plan by Yokoya as stated in the 1st pic was to take the South's ATM card hidden near the North's ATM, withdraw everything, pretend to deposit it in the South ATM but actually hide it in the corridor, and bring it physically to the North side, so that in the end the money would be returned to the North side.

So why does the 2nd pic say the plan is to withdraw money from the South ATM, pretend to deposit it into the North ATM but instead bring it to the North side? There's no money in the South ATM to begin with.

Am I missing something here?

Episode Title- Initiative

Fukunaga Yuji reveals himself to be "X" and declares victory. He explains that he had set things up so that he would be the last winner, and asserts that Akiyama will never be in the minority. Why was Fukunaga always in the minority and able to advance? Fukunaga reveals his trick and explains the structure of his complete victory. Nao is shocked and in tears at how her trust was cleverly exploited and betrayed. Everyone in the venue who heard the clever plan was convinced of Fukunaga's victory...or so it seemed, but only Akiyama was smiling knowingly. He understood that there was a flaw in the winning strategy, and in order to assess the situation, he had been focusing his attention on "one point" of each participant from the very beginning of the game. How did Akiyama see through "X's" scheme?

I actually don't know why I'm so obsessed, just happy they gave an accent to someone I guess hahaha! So happy they gave it to one of the characters with more screen time too, can't wait to hear more of him~!

Welcome back to another Liar Game Monday, this week's episode covered chapters 10 to 13 still keeping that 2/3 chapters per episode pace. I just want to add that five episodes in and I'm still not skipping the opening lol.

Firstly, I've seen a lot of criticism of Nao's character, mostly from people who haven't read the manga. I understand some of the comments, as people are used to similar series, such as Tomodachi Game etc. However, I've always found Liar Game to be special because characters like Nao don't instantly succumb to the sadistic nature of the games and become consumed by the thought of victory and deceiving others. I assure you that Nao will develop as a character and devise her own impressive strategies. Her appeal lies in her rejection of the cruel nature of these games and her ability to maintain her morals. Would you change who you are for the worse if it meant obtaining large sums of money? I'm surprised that, in the first game, most people didn't find Nao's decision to give her prize money to the teacher more moving than naive. In any case, please keep watching I assure you the story will only get better and you have a balance with Akiyama who remains stoic and comes up with amazing strategies.

Secondly, I thought the episode itself was great, right behind episode 4 if I were to rank them. I think the character designs are looking better, and the animation is getting smoother. I thought Fukunaga was great, and her reveal went well. I always found it funny when Nao revealed her strategy to people, like the lawyer, and when she spectated the game, chatting with Akiyama about their victory( she's unentionally very funny).I liked the montages with Number 15; they really highlighted him as a super mysterious/scheming player. The S&M scene was pretty well done and made me chuckle a little. I loved Akiyama in this episode. You could see how locked in he was, taking a step back to think about strategy after sensing something was wrong.

Finally, my only criticism is the pacing. Condensing three voting rounds, each of which should take six hours, and a night break seemed too quick for an episode. However, I don't think it took too much away from the episode, but I would've liked to see more moments from the other team members and players during the round. For example, now as a new viewer, I would have been wary of Hitomi/Fukunaga because of her dialogue and screen time compared to the others. That aside, we got another Nao running scene, and the anime ended on another cliffhanger with Fukunaga's reveal. I can't wait for next week, as they should wrap up the Minority Rule game and I personally love how it ended!

Curious to hear everyone's opinion ☺️!

I haven't read the Manga but what's wrong with this girl. The game is literally titled " liar Game" and this dumbass gets shock and starts weeping when people lie.

My boy akiyama is such a saint to tolerate this Women. She is as useful as chocolate teapot.

She thinks in binary without contradicting or cross checking her thoughts. Like mate, atleast sit down and think "what you are thinking atm".

She just have to follow akayama instructions word by word and she can't even do that and when plans don't go her way, she starts crying like a 10 year old.

Nah I felt bad in the first episode for her but she is such an annoying character. All hail to her sensei, she deserve this.

Tell me manga readers does she gets better at this game or the whole Anime is going to be akiyama carryjob?

ahh.. yokoya~
