[Discussion] LIAR GAME

No..why there's only like 3 minutes of Matsuda??? I wonder why he's running like that. Must be that officer of Liar Game told him something about Nao-chan. And somebody has to kill that mushroom guy already. He pissed me a lot

I didn't like the lack of Shota as well. It made the show seem so long because you barely saw him. The mushroom guy is ssoooo annoying. What Ireally want is for Nao to become smart on her own and defeat him. But thats not likely to happen.

After hearing the cop tell Shota that his revenge was ineffective, I thought the game was definately made to a game one on one with the creator and Shota. It is possible that the creator was a minion in the company using it as a means to torment others as a form of entertainment, a bit like a sports league owner. Maybe the creator was like Nao and had specially chosen her to be paired with Shota so that she will help him live a life without seeking revenge and Shota show Nao how to be realistic about others. Which leads me to think of whom might be the creator of the game...the cop, the lady representive, Nao's father, Shota's mother's nurse, a player in the game, or someone we haven't met. It's usually some far relations that we didn't see coming.
I love this series and as you can see I usually start thinking about wierd connections and the overall game after I finish watching an episode. I really wonder how they are going to end this if that and how the manga writer intend to develop the characters beyond just the Liar Game. I really wish I could buy the mangas and read them in english...Ok I'm done rambling.....

However if I was mushroom head guy, I would want Nao in the game. He's thinking short term "I gotta get me in the game". What he should be thinking of is the last round - he should try and illiminate the smartest people first so the game gets easier and easier. I guess he thinks he's the smartest person there so it doesn't matter. But if I was him I'd have Nao there as my little lap dog - you know she'd be loyal to the end.

But mushroom head is no dummy. He's smart. He maybe thinking that if Nao does succeed then Akiyama may become more involved and very serious because he has to pretect Nao again. he never thought that Akiyama would appear to protect Nao.

I wonder who it was that called and informed him. Was it the LGT lady or someone else. I'm starting to feel really bad for Nao and not just ebcause she's slow. Mainly because she was only dragged into the game so they can lure Akiyama in. Now she has to play and if she loses she will face a debt. That will be real hard seeing as how her dad is inthe hospital.

If it's not for Nao's existance.... mushroom head would definately not survive this round. He needed a sacrifice, and Nao is the easiest to manipulate (esp since everyone else would never forgive him). In any case, he knows the smartest person in the game (Akiyama) is not IN this game.

Nao finally does something useful....

In fact... We will only need to see half an episode more of total Nao ownage... probably. In the manga, episode 7 material is kind of like a turning point for her character. After that, she stopped making me so angry.

To be honest my one gripe with Nao is that she is quick to jump to a conclusion. Like when that old teacher tricked her out of her money, she thought there was no way to get that money back. Of course anyone would feel burdened if that happened, but wouldn't you try to do something about it right away? Didn't the LGT say that you could use any means to get your opponet's money? Even if you trust a person...when it comes to huge sums of money, there's nothing wrong with being cautious right?

Then there was round two and that question #17 posed: "Are you a woman?" There's the fact that there were only 9 girls and 13 men. She was quick think that right away ladies would win because they were the minority, but didn't see that yes the guys have noticed the same thing. Also that the other women could guess that the men knew this and chances is are, some of them would vote "yes". With that said, it was probably better for them to vote "no."


Money can change people and Nao must wise up and take a good look at her current situation. While she's at it, she oughta whack that mushroom dude in his face with her bag because he plainly derserves it for beging such a jerk.

What's with the small about of Akiyama in ep. 6?? I think it was that secreteriat woman who called him. From the way she talked when Akiyama got the 2.1 bil, did they have some sort of relation in the past? Why was she looking at him and Nao from the windowright before they got into that car leaving that mansion? Does anyone else feel a bit odd looking at that puppet guy, Leronira talk?

Excuse me for my blabbering of nonsense!

Cause it is true that everyone in this round are stupid and pathetic as well, so it doesn't really matter.

Has anyone of you been thinking about how on earth this round can turn around? I mean, the contracts have been made, and now i've become really curious about akiyamas plan in the preview... o.o (Except the manga readers of course, who already know..)

So I was thinking that the puppet (who I know everyone says looks like the one is SAW) also looks like the puppet in a movie called "The Game" with Michael Douglas.

Now that I think of it there are some other similarities. For those unfamiliar witht he movie. M/ Douglas's character gets enrolled in this huge game (semi- unwillingly) that is apparently organized by this anonymous company. Apparently he witnesses his father jumping off the roof of their mansion as a child. Scarred from this event MD is apparent financialy successfull but has an inability to connect with people. During his game, mysterious comapny predicts his actions and reactions to events they engineer and manipulate him into facing his childhood tradegy.

Am I the only one that sees the similarities or ahem posible similarities? ... ok maybe only the puppet is similar

Ah whatever.... ;)

Ok in other thoughts...
1) I would like to think I have more brains the Nao but I think if I were in the same situations I would be lost as to how to play to win too.

2) Yep mushroom head is annoying -- lets hope they kill him off and they bring in someone who is still clever but doesn't remind me of The Revenge of The Nerds. Just looking at him irritates me.

3) There definetely needs to be more Shota but I hope they dress him a little better. I kept thinking before that he must be hot wearing that jacket all the time... even indoors... zipped up to his chin...

I am hoping that some random useless thing that Nao brought with her saves the day and gets sold in exchange for the M Ticket/ contract things that mushroom head guy has. I mean it must suck to be foiled by a smart guy but musrhoom head would just die (at least we can hope) if he is bested by Nao.
