I found a sketch of an empty-headed Ebitani that deserves its own post.
Ebitani collage for reference that I've had on my phone forever 馃槶

did you or vinelle watch the original Squid Game or the reality show Squid Game? opinions?
I watched Squid Game, the show and not the... reality show, to my knowledge @therealvinelle hasn't.
In retrospect, Squid Game is actually Kaiji and Mr. Tonegawa's Middle Management Blues (which I had not seen at the time of watching Squid Game) and... they're different enough that I don't feel I necessarily have to compare them and they focus on different things (Kaiji on the inescapable allure of gambling and Squid Game more on the evils of society). Though the walking on glass planks bit had my eyebrows raised as "wow, that's the human derby from Kaiji, down to the letter, alright"
But anyways, I thought (season 1 at least, I'm not holding my breath for season 2) was a decent show that had a good main character and a decent if not as good supporting cast (I didn't find them quite as compelling). It had a great tense soundtrack, delightfully surreal visuals, and I have no major complaints.
I do feel a season 2 is unnecessary, as I felt the story was satisfactorily concluded, and I don't think dismantling the Squid Games will make as good of a point/story as the games itself did in season 1.
As for there being a reality show now...
Well...
They kind of missed the point of the show but I'm not shocked.

Mr. Tonegawa Middle Management Blues hits too close to home when you鈥檝e worked for or are working for corporate.聽
But that made this anime all the more hilarious because it feel so human. It made me want to cry at moments because you get blindsided by the unexpected kindness in a capitalist-dominant environment.
