(CR) Tomodachi Game [Spring 2022]Anticipation

[Stark700]

Looks like Tomodachi Game is getting an anime adaptation.

Synopsis

Katagiri Yuuichi believes that friends are more important than money, but he also knows the hardships of not having enough funds. He works hard to save up in order to go on the high school trip, because he has promised his four best friends that they will all go together. However, after the class' money is all collected, it's stolen! Suspicion falls on two of Yuuichi's friends, Sawaragi Shiho and Shibe Makoto.

Soon afterwards, the five of them are kidnapped, and wake up in a strange room with a character from a short-lived anime. Apparently, one of them has entered them into a "friendship game" in order to take care of their massive debt. But who was it, and why did they have such a debt? Could they have stolen the money from class to pay for entry into the game? Yuuichi and his best friends will have to succeed in psychological games that will test or destroy their faith in one another.

So Friendship + Death Game ?

[zztop]

Source manga is still ongoing in Japan, so the question is what a good stopping point for the adaptation will be.

Well sort of, but not really. There is no "death" aspect. It's money that is in stake and if everyone cooperate it can cleared without any hitch, but there is traitor.

Glad to see at least one of the author's good stories(the ones I know that is) got an anime.
Too bad it wasn't Shinigami(The original, not the RE oneshot) though, that one deserved a proper solution :/

Having read and watched Liar Game - this is hilariously shallow and juvenile in comparison.

[Tenzen12]

Really? I always felt Liar Game was tad dry and for lack of better terms unrealistic, especially in character department.

Homodachi Game.

Spoiler for ep1:

Ousama geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemues!

Anyways, generic stupid death game stuff.
I'd think that you'd first suspect the suspicious enemy group of trickery first, but nope, they just believe this super-high-tech Kokkuri game works the way it is explained and instead start suspecting their friends immediately

Also, if the school was gonna handle such a large amount of money, that money would not just be left around randomly. Deposit it, let the teachers handle it.
So more stupid points there.

However, Ousama Games was quite hilarious to watch. So this Game has ways to go, since the first episode wasn't really that funny.

[Tenzen12]

I mean it can't be "stupid death game" when there is no death...

[stray]

Not sure if I'm feeling this; its somewhere between Danganronpa and Kakegurui so far... and it apparently takes place in the same room as Euphoria, so... yeah. I might give it another episode, or I might not.

Ohh yeah, that's one reason this wasn't as funny as Ousama Games. No people dying in weird ways yet.

I think the first game is quite ingenious.

At first it would seem that your main purpose should be to just answer "yes" and get -2M to the overall debt.

But when you think more deeply about it, the point isn't to win the game, the point is to reduce the debt as much as possible. And Manabu-kun has said, during this episode, that in each game you get a chance to reduce the debt even more. And also that in this game it's absolutely vital to trust your friends.

So, if your purpose is to reduce the total debt to zero and provided you have absolute trust on every participant, the optimal strategy isn't to answer "yes" to the first question, that only nets you 2M.

The actual optimal strategy is to say "no" to the first 4 questions and "yes" to the last question.

That way 4 persons get their debt halved -2M to each, and then each person gets -400k for winning the game on the last question. That's a total of -10M.

In other words you could halve the whole debt on the first game alone. The only problem is of course that the last reader will have 3,6M to pay while everyone else only have 1,6M. But again if you trust your friends you would reason in terms of overall debt and not individual debt.


The funny thing here is that maybe that's what Yuuichi's friends were thinking, I mean it's not likely given the story, but it's funny to think that there's an entire possibility where there's no traitor just people playing the optimal strategy and the MC is just being paranoid and stupid.
