  "Trillion Game" Anime Review

  Why Did I Choose To Watch This

  Trillion Game is written by Riichiro Inagaki, the writer of Dr Stone & Eyeshield 21. He’s one of my all time favorite writers in anime. The main reason is his in depth research he puts into his series (more on that later). The other reason I decided to watch this series was because of the plot. Two homies trying to make a trillion dollars? Count me in. It had shades of some of the aspirations that me and Aunn, the co-host of our Anime+ podcast, hold. Knowing that this series was going to be well written and be a series about two friends doing everything they can to become rich was all I needed to know. This series was ranked pretty low in terms of popularity before it aired so there was some cause for concern there, but we all know low popularity does not mean it’s a bad show.

  Plot Mechanics

  At this point I have so much faith in Inagaki that I knew the plot would deliver. Suffice to say, I wasn’t wrong. One perk of Inagaki solely doing the writing and allocating the artwork to another mangaka is that it gives him time to research. Similar to his previous series Dr Stone, you can tell the amount of time he took researching the complex elements in this anime.
  In the interest of not spoiling the plot I’ll be broad. The triumphant moments in the show were always well delivered. Everything from the daunting challenges and the buildup when overcoming these challenges made the triumphant moments that much better. I also can’t understate how well thought out every move from the main characters was. Every idea the characters had became a well formulated plan. Every successfully executed plan led to something bigger and better. I’ve always loved when a series has rapid progression and this fits the bill. Not to mention I couldn’t predict where the series was going.
  For an anime that’s heavily based on real world occurrences and themes this was pretty accurate. Of course being an anime things will be exaggerated but almost everything that happens in this series is realistic to a certain extent.

  Plot : 9.5/10
  
  Aesthetics/Vibes

  This show isn’t necessarily a show that is supposed to have a relaxed chill vibe. However the series did a great job of turning a “money-hungry” plotline into a series that could make light of certain problems and really expand on the happy moments. Now to be completely honest, some of the characters were somewhat dull. Gaku’s character wasn’t something I found interesting and I found him to be a tad annoying. However his counterpart in Haru was such an interesting character. The self proclaimed “greediest man alive” was indeed extremely greedy but he had a heart of gold. It was interesting to watch him put up a facade of how he really was versus how he wanted to be portrayed. Although Gaku was the innocent lovable one, Haru’s personality was what made the anime so fun to watch.

  Aesthetics/Vibes: 8.5/10
  

  Art/Animation

  If you’re coming into an anime solely for top tier art and animation. You won’t get that with this anime. By no means was the animation egregious but it just wasn’t particularly steller. It was subpar at best, but that’s ok. This anime is all about its plot. There’s no fighting, no dramatization, no immersive world, none of that. Overall the animation isn’t something that one would come to this series about, but the other aspects of this anime offset that. The character design was also somewhat not that compelling. Personally, I thought the characters lacked a bit of life, style, and definition. But again, this anime is supposed to be realistic.
  Art/Animation: 4/10

  Overall Rating/Recommendation
  

  I would easily recommend “Trillion Game” to almost every anime fan. In fact, I’ve been recommending it to almost everyone. It’s an anime with a nice change of pace that definitely delivers. While the art and animation isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing, it's not what this anime is. This anime’s strong suit is its strong in depth plot about making a trillion dollars. Trillion Game does a great job of turning a very greedy theme into a fun spirited journey of making money. Haru was a great character and one that many anime fans will enjoy. Overall, this is a must watch for any anime fan.

  Overall Rating: 9/10
