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.

Fifteen-year-old Neku Sakuraba is transported to an alternate plane of existence and forced to participate in the mysterious Reapers' Game, killing monsters and completing missions.

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.
