Liar Game 2

Told you that I had to watch it!  Now I've finished the second season and have to wait for the movie to be subbed.  Since it came out in March, I'm going to be waiting a while.  GOSH DARN IT!
Anyway, this season is as good as the first one.  Same intensity, same mind boggling games, same awesome Akiyama.  Only thing that changed for me was that I was less anxious because my faith in Akiyama coming through for Nao was solid.  I mean, the trust between those two is so strong.  And anyone who complains about the lack of romance, myself included, needs to realize that trust is where the emphasis must be.  It would be so easy to cross the line and make these two obviously in love with each other, but then trust isn't front and center like it needs to be.  Hopefully the movie will cross the line a little for us.
So yah, do you really want to hear my whining for lack of movie?  I'm trying desperately not to.
Some last notes.  Katsuragi is just as great a villian as Yokoya was, only we trade Y's evil laugh for K's cheshire cat smile.  But Nao is just as adorable as ever, with just a touch more backbone.  Just watch that stationary roulette.  AWESOME!

9/10

So, here is the Finale.  Just so you know, the trailer is all teasing.  Terrible, terrible teasing.  ARGH!  Yes, I'm disappointed but only because I wanted more of a bang.  Well... mostly a bang between Nao and Akiyama.  Sigh.
Really though, the movie is just like the episodes only there is plenty of time for a nice long drawn out game of backstabbing and lying.  So it's great.  And everything ends satisfactorily.
Sigh...
