Darwin’s Game anime
High school student Kaname Sudou receives an invitation by a classmate to play Darwin’s Game, a mobile game he’s never heard of. However, as soon as he opens the application, a green snake suddenly pops out of his phone screen and bites his neck, leaving him unconscious. Waking up in the infirmary without any signs of a snake bite, he is told by the school to choose the remainder of the day off. Though he is puzzled by what’s occurred, he dismisses the surreal experience as a hallucination and boards the train home. Unfortunately, his curiosity gets the better of him and that he uses the application once more. Since the program appears to be exactly like any other conflict game, Kaname breathes out a sigh of relief and makes the decision to start his first match. However, the nice surprise is short lived, as his in-game rival suddenly appears right in front of him and tries to hunt him down with a knife. As he desperately runs for his life, Kaname places two and two together and realizes that Darwin’s Game is not an ordinary game, but instead, it’s a brutal fight for survival.
