Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, action fans and animation lovers.
The mood
Tense and unsettling.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 10 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Being just a normal student without a special talent, Makoto Naegi wins a lottery to attend the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy where only the top prodigies attend. However, instead of this being the beginning of a wonderful high school life, it's a ticket to despair, because the only way to graduate from Hope's Peak Academy is to kill one of your fellow students or be one of their victims.
