Plot Summary:
     A high school boy gets transferred to a new school and is completely anti-social to the classmates who are trying to get to know him. Soon everyone gets a text from someone called the "King" who makes unreasonable requests from the students of the class. Thinking it's a joke, they ignore the texts. Unfortunately, not following the King's orders are grounds for punishment and that punishment is an ugly death. It could be asphyxiation or even dismemberment. It turns out that the MC was the last survivor for the last King's Game that made him transfer to this school. Will this current class survive? Will he be the last one standing again? Or will this be his last King's Game?

Review:
     This anime is tough to get through. The reason it's so difficult is because one can lose themselves in the timeline. This anime tells the story of when the MC was in his class in the past or his first King's Game and in this present class. After receiving plenty of clues about the Game the 1st go round, (there is no preseason for this), the MC tries to stop the Game this time around with those clues from the past and current ones. His success can save lives, but how many can he save?

Opinion:
     Ousama Game is decent if you can follow along with it. Trying to piece the mystery of what the Game is about and who is behind it is almost a Scooby Doo chase, except people really die and the way they die is supernatural enough to not be Mr. Jones in a ghost costume trying to scam someone. Ousama is bloody, gory and depressing. Surviving is not for everyone or is it that not everyone can survive? Either way there are 4 rules:
                          1) All student in the class must participate
                          2) After receiving an order from the King, the order must be completed in 24 hours
                          3) People who don't complete their orders will be punished
                          4) Withdrawing from the game midway is not allowed
Think you can survive King's Game?

Rating:
I'll give Ousama (King's) Game a 7
