Ou-sama Game The Animation

Attachment 1830

"Kanazawa Nobuaki has transferred to a high school far from where he used to live. Due to an incident at his old school, Nobuaki is afraid of getting close to his new classmates and keeps himself at a distance, but he starts opening up because of a sports day inter-class relay. Then, a single text message from someone calling themselves the "King" is sent to everyone in class. Nobuaki’s classmates think it's a simple prank, and don't take it seriously - but Nobuaki knows that a death game is about to begin, and struggles to oppose it..."

Very trashy, but it is so to distract from a very meager production, you could argue. This has some of the sparsest animation I've seen in 2017. The death game format is worked pretty well here with not only a protagonist that has survived the game before and can clue people in on the situation, but we get flashbacks to the depravity that the last game became to shape him into the broken dude he is now.
