Entertaining but characters’ motives were unclear
Let me start by saying that seasons 1 and 2 were 10/10 and the ending of season 2 gave a lot of opportunities for this season to be just as awesome.
However, the story fell flat. The motives of the characters were maybe the biggest issue for me. Like why would Usagi, a happily married woman, suddenly leave without saying anything to her husband? And were she trying to find her father or what? And why would the ”citizens” want Arisu there?? Etc.
Also I didn’t like at all the theme of ”saving Usagi” as a starter for the season. It would have been better if they were both forced to go and then separated for some reason.
The feeling of mystery was also gone in this season since we already knew that they had to play until they win the last game and get to go back to real world. And that they were in between life and death and that there were people running the games.
The games were okay but not nearly as intriguing as in previous seasons. The last game focused too much on the videos which the gamers believed to be true too easily.
Overall it was still entertaining but there was so much lost potential.
