The World Ends With You The Animation

Neku wakes up in the middle of an otherworldly Shibuya teeming with monsters; he's been dragged into the Reapers' Game, and he'll need to learn to work with the other players he meets if he wants to survive the seven-day contest.

When a chance encounter shakes Shiki's confidence and motivation, it's Neku's turn to support her for a change.

Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme get a mission as the end of the Reapers' Game nears; it could be a respite before their battle with the Game Master or one last trap.

Neku's second game has begun; he may have experience, but the new Game Master is out for blood, and Neku can't fight without a partner; a mysterious boy named Joshua may be the help Neku needs.

There are no new missions, and it's making Neku nervous; Joshua, however, has his own agenda, and he wants Neku to lend him a hand; when the pair reunite with Hanekoma, a chance remark sparks a memory in Neku.

Neku starts to remember his death, and it makes him more suspicious of Joshua than ever; meanwhile, the game grinds to a halt as Taboo Noise attacks players and reapers alike; Minamimoto is the prime suspect.
