King's Game Anime Review

Imagine you're a high school student in Japan.  Now imagine you have to play a glorified game of Simon Says with your cell phone.  Digging deeper that you have to watch your classmates die.  This is King's Game. King's Game is a death-game anime, not too far removed from the likes of Danganronpa or Battle Royale.  The protagonist is a boy called Nobuaki, who has experienced great loss because of the King's Game.  The story is told in two parts; Nobuaki's first game where he watched his entire class die and the current game where he's trying to save the class.  This essentially means he has to watch two entire classes die unless he can do something about it.
