Our favourite schizophrenic loser game hit the big time. Budget is high and everything looks and sounds awesome. Trials one, four, and five are genuine highlights of the series. The reveals in this one had me geeking and jumping out of the seat and shit but that's also because I'm a clown. Love some of the characters, and the roster that lives past like case three is actually pretty stacked. Unfortunately the ending is half good and half obnoxious. The big twist comes of as a writer that hates their product, and is opting to just shoot it in the head rather than talk about it. The social commentary is pretty neat though and added "real fiction" to my vocabulary. I like Kokichi but he does not compare to my boy Nagito (or Shuichi). Other characters like Kaito, Maki, Rantaro, Kaede, Himiko, Kii-bo, and Gonta are all pretty great and I think the writers really pulled together a bunch of really good character arcs and dynamics that are exciting and satisfying to watch.
