Liar Liar

A suspense anime where strategy and psychological trickery, carries the main characters through their challenges.

The plot in Liar Liar follows Hirito that accidentally beats the strongest student on Academy Island on his first day, which forces him into taking her place. You then follow Hirito as he has to keep the mask of being the strongest on Academy Island, without having all the tools he should have had if it was true.

The whole premise is based around highschools where you're standing is related to how successful you are in the games on the island. The students challenge each other through different types of games, all ... from races to live strategy games. Where if the winner is lower ranking then the loser, will the winner rise one rank and the loser fall one. This premise makes it possible for a lot of good scenes fitting the suspense type.

One of the good things the show does is that when a game is presented, will it be followed by a clear explanation of how the game works. This makes it possible for the viewer to try and anticipate what to do and thereby make a strategy on their own.

The plot and the characters develop in a nice way with some clear arcs. You follow Hirito as he is forced to learn how the rules of the island works and how he has to think on the move, to outdo his opponents. You also see how relations between the characters develop, some in a slow but fitting way and others in a more drastic way.

The animation and music is not that special, but doesn’t have any problems. The animation is smooth and has a clear color style to it, and the music has some nice beats to it and a fine rhythm.

I would overall say it’s a great anime that I would recommend. Especially if you like strategy and psychological animes, that has a bit lighter tone to it. The biggest problem for the anime was that it was sadly miscategorized as an ecchi anime instead of suspense, for some time when it was airing.

The anime is amazing would recommend to anyone new to anime. There are some small plot holes in the plot but nothing too big. The ost is a banger. It's a rare genre of music for an anime opening. The artstyle is a 10/10. The character designs are very unique even though there isn't much freedom to the clothes every character is recognizable. What really got my attention is the Mc's design. When you look at him he looks nothing like a main character. The anime is very similar to kakegurui and class of the elite. Personally I love this genre of anime but there ... aren't many options. I would recommend to anyone wanting to get into the "game" genre (I am not sure what it is called)

Is this show one big lie? Or is this review a lie? You be the judge!

Story and characters: 7

Liar Liar might not seem an interesting looking show by the looks of things, but what it is, is a silly fun goofy anime that can entertain you from start to finish. Taking place on Academy island, where matches are done through games, and being quite the event to boot. It even gets you thinking, in the grand scheme of things, of how, and who is actually lying here. But to be perfectly frank, to touch on the characters, it honestly really comes across as the most ... goofy of 'academies' which only adds to the show's good points. If they were as bland as dishwater, the show wouldn't be at the rating that it is.So te goofy shenanigans really push it far, with a wide range of interesting characters, to really showcase the in depth of that. Good stuff.

Art and sound: 7
Can't say anything wrong with it. It not only does it's job in both deparments, but it really nails it when it comes to it's colouring and presentation. Being bright when it needs to be, but also doing a good job, of making darker colours and backgrounds really stand out. Not to mention the sound of the gags, the characters reactions, all sorts.With the flow of the music, it all comes together really nicely, and deserves props for that.

Liar Liar is a very weird, but entertaining watch for sure. Give it a go!

No game No Life but it's mediocre. Still, it was a fun watch and I got to have new waifus. Himeji, Noa and Shiina are my favs lol. Shut off your brain and enjoy the series. No game No Life is still on top but it was a fun ride. Recommended if you have nothing to watch lmao. Art style is like that one anime.. I forgot the name but there's the senpai who's masochist, junior who's a sadist and his imouto that is inlove with her brother.. step-brother... The games are a bit all around but you can enjoy it.. plot armor gooes brr.. ... (really prolonging this so I can submit my review)

If you like the idea of a Kakegurui concept without all the weird moaning and odd ball characters then this might just be the show for you.

So far the plot, art and characters are all solid. The characters aren’t over the top albeit it they do fit in to tropes, the plot straightforward but with some nice twists and the art shiny.

Despite being a straightforward plot it adds the same elements as Kakegurui that require you to actually think about what’s going on and how the main character wins his challenges - if you want to get the most out of the anime.

So definitely give ... it a try if you enjoy this gambling and analytic genre.

Liar Liar is a great anime with nice characters and a nice world. The beginning of the story is quite impulsive and can quickly draw you into the plot, the main characters, who are the pillars of the series, work for me and the games are something that helps the story keep the pace and the plot interesting. I had a lot of trouble understanding the rules in some of the games in that quick succession, but that didn't spoil the joy of watching and I still enjoyed the games, what I liked quite a bit were some of the game twists like the one ... with the virus in the phone, or rather its final consequence. The first part of the series is simply amazing and fun, unfortunately the big "final" game, which takes up several episodes, was more boring for me, but I still enjoyed it relatively thanks to the characters and overall I still give the series all seven stars. (I'm a bad liar, I only have five stars available) I almost forgot to mention the intro and outro, both are absolutely fantastic and I find the outro tastefully entertaining.
