As some of anime's most iconic titles, high-stakes survival games always serve to show the worst of what humanity has to offer when desperate.
While death game anime may not be as significant of a trend in recent years, the fact remains that these shows remain some of the medium's most iconic ones. Moreover, even with the fading popularity of the theme, there are recent titles that fall under this category that garnered a lot of attention, as well as others that seek to reinvent the death game theme through innovative rules and ideas.
9 Deadman Wonderland The titular Deadman Wonderland is a prison where the most dangerous of convicts are forced to fight each other to the death, all for the amusement of onlookers. As the sole survivor of a massacre of his entire classroom, Ganta Igarashi is framed for the carnage and sentenced to die.
6 Danganronpa: The Animation The events of Danganronpa: The Animation take place in a prestigious high school where not only graduation, but even survival is far from guaranteed. Fifteen elite students find themselves trapped in the academy, with their mysterious teddy bear principal Monokuma telling them that the only way to escape is to kill a classmate without being caught.
3 Fate/Zero Fate/Zero revolves around the Holy Grail War, a brutal death battle whose winner is said to be able to make any wish come true. However, these wars are so cruel that no one was left standing in the past, though that won't stop other participants from pursuing their own goals. The current game of survival involves seven players, each fighting alongside a powerful familiar inspired by ancient legends and mythology.
