Kakegurui -- Bet Like Your Life Depends on it | My Review@penspeaks279d
"It seems a snake has appeared in my school" DAMN THATS BADASS
Kakegurui isn’t like any anime I’d ever stumbled into—it doesn’t ease you in, doesn’t pretend to be about school, or romance, or anything ordinary. It grabs you by the throat in the first episode and says: here, this is a school where money is power, where your worth as a human being depends on how well you gamble, how far you’re willing to risk not just your future, but your pride, your body, your sanity. It’s not about cards or dice, it’s about stripping you bare, peeling back every layer until your soul is on the table. That’s Hyakkaou Private Academy. A place where kids of the elite sharpen their claws, and losing doesn’t just mean you’re broke—it means you become a “house pet,” collared, degraded, a servant to those who beat you. Watching it for the first time felt like someone injected adrenaline into my veins.
Then Yumeko Jabami enters. Sweet smile, large innocent eyes, and dressed like any other transfer student. You think you know the type. It is however on the time she is at a table that the room changes. She does not go there to win or to belong--she goes there because she lives to gamble. And by live I intend it in the most feral sense of the word. It is not about the money and even status does not matter to her. Her desire is danger, the adventure of putting all her money in the fire and whether she will make it out alive. How her voice drops when the game turns tense, how her face changes between cute and unhinged--each time it chilled me. She is frightening, however, she is appealing. You can’t look away.
The match that struck me the most was the one when Yumeko confronts Mary Saotome. Mary had been Queen bee, prideful and inhuman, and turned house pets of the weak. It was blood boiling to see her smiling as she put down people. But you hear now Yumeko sitting on the other end of the table, and the air is nearly torn. The cards were not all that the game was: it was tearing Mary up and down the line. And when Yumeko tossed the table--literally, emotionally--you saw that Mary leaks, her entire character cracks as she gets her medicine herself. It was then that I realized Yumeko was not another protagonist, she was anarchy in a school uniform and she was going to tear down all levels in that academy.
However, what lingered in my memory was not only the triumphs of Yumeko, but the fact that the show drives you through the most extreme depths of human desire. Similar to that game with Jun Kiwatari, the one who was so full of boast and virtue, who bet not only money, but also the danger of real injury. Yumeko didn’t flinch. She bent over it, almost thrilled at the risk about it, and then it struck me--she is not normal. She does not play dice to live, she plays dice to die. It is frightening--but it is sickening to see. You begin to ask yourself would I make it sitting opposite her? Would I bend or would I love the madness as well?
And then there is the boy, Ryota Suzui, who appears pathetic at first, being chained, shattered into a house pet. He ought to have been forgettable. But Yumeko takes him with her, not as an accomplice but as an eyewitness to her hurricane. And gradually you can see him transform. He is appalled at her, frightened by the daring she has, and yet is attracted by her boldness. He is a symbol of us, the audience it is, sucked down into her seriousness, not knowing whether to flee or to give up.
The escalation of each game is what makes Kakegurui so gritty, but not only in the terms of stakes, but also in the terms of psychological combat. The game with Itsuki Sumeragi, the nails scene--God, I will never forget that. Itsuki bets her own fingernails with a smile as though nothing, and then wets herself when Yumeko calls her bluff. It was more than a roll of dice, that was body horror hidden as student life. It turned my stomach, but I could not take my eyes off.
And then the Student Council. Oh, the Student Council. They do not merely have a lot of power, they are predators. The members are progressively more perverted and their games increasingly more insane. The Presidential Kirari Momobami, who is as icy in smile and as her eyes are incomprehensible, is the queen of the academy of a nightmare. She does not have to scream or to shout, her composure is more terrifying than any temper tantrum. Her playing around with Yumeko like it were her game board with the whole school, gave me chills. And Yumeko does not retreat--she laughs, she wallows in it. They are both electricity, as two storms come together.
What irked me was the fact that gambling is turned into a reflection of itself by Kakegurui. The game each character faces reveals their true personalities, Mary is arrogant, Itsuki is insecure to prove herself, Ryota is a coward, and Kirari is detached as a god. And Yumeko? The most terrifying reflection is that by Yumeko, as it is nothing more than sheer compulsion. She does not simply love risk--she must love it. It is an addiction, but even more than that, she is only really alive when she is standing on the verge of ruin. That is thrilling and that is also very disturbing.
This anime was not a relaxing one to watch. I could not simply put it on in the background. My heart surged at every episode. The sound effects, the clink of the coins, the ruffle of the cards, the silence before an insinuation, it all creeped under my skin. And the cartooning, the distortion of faces when the characters are not in control, the sweat, the bulky eyes--it seemed the entire thing was a horror show masquerading as a school play.
By the time the season wrapped up, I realized Kakegurui isn’t really about gambling at all. It’s about power. It’s about what people will do when they think they can’t lose, and how fast they crumble when the ground shifts. It’s about how thin the mask of civility really is when you strip people down to greed and fear. And Yumeko, she’s the catalyst. She’s not there to save anyone. She’s there to expose them, to devour the illusions, to drag everyone into her playground of risk.
And the wildest part? Watching her didn’t just terrify me—it made me want to play. That’s the dangerous magic of Kakegurui. It whispers in your ear: what would you risk, if everything was on the line? Would you wager money? Dignity? Your own body? And when you think about it too long, you start to understand Yumeko in a way that feels a little too close to home.
Hello friends of Hive, dear community of The Anime Realm, I hope you are doing great, this time, I want to talk about an anime that you surely know, but it may be that the newer ones in the environment, do not know about it... that's why I wanted to bring you my opinions on the anime: Kakegurui! Seriously, if you haven't seen this series, hold on because it is totally crazy, from beginning to end... wow! I mean... imagine this: a private academy like this, super elite, Hyakkaou, sounds normal, right? Like prestigious, full of future leaders and all that, well forget about grades, forget about sports... in this school, your social position, your future, everything!, is decided by one thing: gambling... yes, just as you hear it, the kids are pure heirs to giant fortunes, children of politicians, future CEOs, and they spend their time locked up betting big on games of chance and skill. The student council is not just the popular ones; They're the meanest, most bastardly players, who run the school like it's their own kingdom. It's scary!
And what happens if you lose badly? Oh my God! If you rack up a bunch of debt you can't pay, you become a "mascot," basically less than human, forced to listen to the winners, with a little name tag so everyone knows who you are, treated like garbage... it's brutal, and the whole idea caught my attention instantly. It's really twisted, but like... you like it, right? How the hell does a society like that work? Then, into this nest of vipers arrives Yumeko Jabami. She seems cool, polite, and even a little naive at first glance... but inside... she's something else! Yumeko doesn't go for money or status; She's a compulsive gambler in the purest sense, she takes an almost... ecstatic pleasure in risk, in putting it all on the line... the higher the stakes, the more she gets hooked, she has this incredible ability to pick out the traps, even the most hidden ones. Watching her unravel a rigged game while putting on that I-won't-do-it, almost innocent face is truly mesmerizing... you keep thinking: "Is she crazy? Is she a genius? Or both?" She turns the entire school hierarchy on its head because she doesn't play by its rules of intimidation and inherited power; she just wants the thrill of a real bet against someone who'll actually put up a fight, really, it's fascinating to watch her move.
Hola, amigos de Hive, querida comunidad de The Anime Realm, espero que estén genial, en esta ocasión, les quiero hablar de un anime que seguro conocerán, pero puede ser que los más nuevos en el medio, no sepan de el.. por eso quise traerles mis opiniones sobre el anime: Kakegurui! En serio, si no han visto está serie, agárrense porque es una locura total, de principio a fin.. ¡wow! O sea.. imagínense esto: una academia privada así, de súper élite, Hyakkaou, suena normal, ¿verdad? Como prestigiosa, llena de los futuros líderes y eso, pues olvídate de las notas, olvídense de los deportes.. en esta escuela, tu posición social, tu futuro, ¡todo!, se decide por una sola cosa: las apuestas.. sí, así como lo escuchan, los chicos son puros herederos de fortunas gigantes, hijos de políticos, futuros CEOs, y se la pasan encerrados apostando fuerte en juegos de azar y habilidad. El consejo estudiantil no son nomás los populares; son los jugadores más perros y más cabrones, que manejan la escuela como si fuera su propio reino, ¡da miedo!
Y qué pasa si pierdes feo? ¡Ay, Dios mío! Si juntas un montón de deudas que no puedes pagar, te conviertes en una "mascota", básicamente menos que humano, obligado a hacerle caso a los ganadores, con una plaquita para que todos sepan quién eres, tratado como basura.. es brutal, y toda esa idea me atrapó al instante, es bien retorcido, pero como que... te gusta ¿no? ¿Cómo fregados funciona una sociedad así? Entonces, a este nido de víboras llega Yumeko Jabami, se ve buena onda, educadita, y hasta un poco ingenua a primera vista.. pero por dentro.. es otra cosa! Yumeko no apuesta por la plata o por el estatus; es una ludópata en el sentido más puro, le da un placer casi... de éxtasis con el riesgo, con ponerlo todo en la línea.. mientras más alta la apuesta, más se prende ella, tiene esta habilidad increíble para captar las trampas, hasta las más escondidas. Verla desarmar un juego arreglado mientras pone esa cara de yo no fui, casi inocente, de verdad te hipnotiza.. te la pasas pensando: "¿Está loca? ¿Es una genio? ¿O las dos?". Le da la vuelta a toda la jerarquía de la escuela porque no juega con sus reglas de intimidación y poder heredado; ella solo quiere la emoción de una apuesta de verdad contra alguien que sí le dé batalla, la verdad, es fascinante verla moverse..
Well, let’s talk about how this looks… the animation is by MAPPA, and it’s spectacular! The character designs are super well done, you remember them immediately, and they have a brutal style… but what really breaks it… are the faces they make, when the bets get really intense here, their faces get deformed, but badly! Super exaggerated masks, almost grotesque, like they’re in heaven, or desperate, or just plain crazy… eyes popping out, jaws falling out, tongues sticking out… it’s super exaggerated! Sometimes it even takes you off guard, but it perfectly captures all the madness and emotional tension of the moment, you won’t forget that image, I assure you!
It’s like the trademark of the series... maybe some people won’t like it, it might seem like a lot, but the truth is I think it really increases the tension and the obsessive vibe of the characters, it’s a feast for the eyes, even if at times it leaves you feeling like “what’s up with this?” You have to see it in HD no matter what, the detail is incredible. And the games... are on another level, I went in expecting the typical stuff, right? Poker, blackjack, those normal gambling things... but Kakegurui gets super creative. Yes, there are card games, but almost always with some really crazy and complicated twists, then they come out with things like Rock, Paper, Scissors but modified with bets that make you say “what?!”, super difficult memory challenges, even versions of Russian Roulette where you risk your life! (Yes, that’s as far as it goes!).
And even, believe it or not, a bet based on an idol singing competition in the second season... all that variety means you won’t get bored and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s not just about watching people playing cards; you’re watching super weird, tailor-made tests to test your luck, your skill, how you think, and how good you are at cheating or catching on. Some games are simple but will keep you on the edge of your seat, others are so complex that your head will explode, but almost all of them are super entertaining to watch as they unfold.
Y bueno, hablemos de cómo se ve esto.. la animación es de MAPPA, y qué cosa tan espectacular, los diseños de los personajes están súper bien hechos, te acuerdas de ellos al toque, y tienen un estilazo brutal.. pero lo que de verdad la rompe... son las caras que ponen, cuando las apuestas se ponen acá bien intensas, las caras se les deforman, ¡pero mal! Unas máscaras súper exageradas, casi grotescas, de que están en el cielo, o desesperados, o ya nomás locos de remate.. ojos que se les salen, quijadas que se les caen, lenguas de fuera... ¡es súper exagerado!, a veces hasta te saca de onda, pero capta perfecto toda la locura y la tensión emocional del momento, esa imagen no se te olvida, ¡te lo aseguro!
Es como la marca registrada de la serie.. tal vez a algunos no les guste, les parezca mucho, pero la verdad yo creo que le sube un montón a la tensión y a esa onda obsesiva de los personajes, es un agasajo para los ojos, aunque a veces te deje medio "qué onda con esto". Tienen que verla en HD sí o sí, el detalle está increíble.. Y los juegos.. son otro nivel, yo entré esperando lo típico, ¿no?, póker, blackjack, esas cosas normales de apuestas.. pero Kakegurui se pone súper creativo. Sí, hay juegos de cartas, pero casi siempre con unas vueltas de tuerca bien locas y complicadas, luego te salen con cosas como Piedra, Papel o Tijera pero modificado con apuestas que dices "¡¿qué?!", retos de memoria súper difíciles, ¡hasta versiones de Ruleta Rusa donde te juegas la vida!
(Sí, ¡hasta allá llega!), e incluso, ¡aunque no lo crean!, ¡una apuesta basada en un concurso de canto de idols en la segunda temporada.. toda esa variedad hace que no te aburras y nunca sepas qué va a pasar. No es nomás ver gente jugando cartas; estás viendo pruebas súper raras, hechas como a la medida, para poner a prueba la suerte, la habilidad, cómo piensan, y qué tan buenos son para hacer trampa o para cacharla, algunos juegos son sencillos pero te tienen al borde del asiento, otros son tan complejos que te explota la cabeza, pero casi todos son súper entretenidos de ver cómo se van dando.
Now, the cheating thing... it's everywhere, seriously, I mean, almost everyone who plays against Yumeko tries to rig the game in their favor, and often in super creative ways, honestly... at first, I did wonder if this wasn't going to get repetitive, you know? Just watching Yumeko figure out the trick over and over again. But what do you think? That becomes part of the joke, the tension isn't just in the game itself, but in that wave of seeing how Yumeko detects the cheat and boom!, she turns it back on the other... it's not so much pure strategy against luck, it's more like dodging pure traps and dirty tricks. Figuring out how they're cheating and how Yumeko is going to expose them becomes a big part of the fun, it reminds me a bit of those series where the protagonist seems invincible, the excitement isn't in whether she's going to win, but in the creative and sometimes super complicated way in which she achieves it.
Now, with that said, let’s get to the nitty-gritty: Yumeko’s win streak… yeah, the truth is, you almost always start watching a match and you half-know that Yumeko is going to win, or at least that she’s not going to be completely destroyed, there were times early on where I was like, “Okay, she’s got this one in the bag.” But the show often does a good job of making the whole process so intense, and making the opponent’s downfall so spectacular, that you still get hooked. Then there are also times when things don’t quite go her way, or where the stakes feel pretty ugly, and that adds more layers of tension.. It’s a valid criticism, yes, but for me, Yumeko’s sheer style, crazy games, and gripping personality almost always won out over the predictability. The focus shifts from thinking, “Will she win?” to think "How badly will he destroy his opponent this time?".. and the passion the characters have for betting is... intense, the series really gets into the psychological aspects: the addiction, the desperation, that half-sick pleasure they get from pure risk.
Ahora, lo de las trampas.. están por todos lados, en serio, o sea, casi todos los que juegan contra Yumeko intentan truquear el juego a su favor, y muchas veces de formas súper creativas, la verdad.. al principio, yo sí me pregunté si esto no se iba a volver repetitivo, ¿saben? Nomás ver a Yumeko descubriendo el truco una y otra vez. ¿Pero qué creen?.. eso se vuelve parte del chiste, la tensión no está nomás en el juego como tal, sino en esa onda de ver cómo Yumeko detecta la trampa y ¡pum!, se la regresa al otro.. no es tanto de estrategia pura contra suerte, es más como andar esquivando puras trampas y trucos sucios. Descubrir cómo le están haciendo trampa y cómo Yumeko los va a exponer se vuelve gran parte de lo divertido, me recuerda un poco a esas series donde el prota parece invencible, la emoción no está en si va a ganar, sino en la forma tan creativa y a veces súper complicada en que lo logra.
Ahora, dicho esto, vamos al meollo del asunto: la racha de victorias de Yumeko.. sí, la neta es que casi siempre, empiezas a ver una partida y ya medio sabes que Yumeko seguro va a ganar, o que al menos no la van a destruir por completo.. hubo momentos al principio, en que yo mismo pensaba: "Ok, esta ya la tiene en la bolsa".. pero, la serie muchas veces hace un buen trabajo en hacer que todo el proceso sea tan intenso, y que la caída del oponente sea tan espectacular, que igual te quedas enganchado. Además, también hay veces que las cosas no le salen justo como quiere, o donde lo que está en juego sí se siente bien feo, y eso le mete más capas de tensión.. es una crítica válida, sí, pero para mí, el puro estilo, los juegos locos y la personalidad de Yumeko que te atrapa, casi siempre le ganaron a eso de que fuera predecible. El enfoque cambia de pensar "¿Será que gana?" a pensar "¿Qué tan feo va a destrozar a su oponente esta vez?".. y la pasión que tienen los personajes por apostar es... intensa, la serie de verdad se mete mucho en lo psicológico: la adicción, la desesperación, ese placer medio enfermo que les da el puro riesgo.
And those exaggerated faces I was telling you about? Many times they're like moments of almost... sexual? ecstasy, that the bet gives them... it's strong, and not at all subtle, I understand perfectly that this might shock some, you know? It feels like something exciting and at the same time super sick... for me, it was part of the unique and somewhat uncomfortable vibe of the series, it explores the extremes of how people behave in this strange and high-risk environment. The second season takes things in a new direction... there's a totally new dynamic and a ton of new characters, many of them quite eccentric - the Momobami clan, who are relatives of the president, all fighting for power... the focus is no longer so much on Yumeko versus a member of the council, but on a bigger battle to control the school, which involves gathering votes. Guess how? Well, with more bets!
I thought it was a smart move, it broadened the scope, introduced new threats, and kept the formula from feeling too repetitive. I felt like the stakes were raised even further, in a way. One area where the series falters a little is in the development of the secondary characters. I mean, Yumeko is fascinating, but characters like Suzui (her first friend/the one who sort of sticks with her) or even Mary Saotome (her early rival who later has a complicated relationship with her) don't always seem to give much depth to their motivations or their stories, they're often just there to react to Yumeko's crazy antics, as if we're watching her, or as pieces in larger games. They have their moments, right? Especially Mary, who does get some decent development, but the focus is entirely on Yumeko and the spectacle of the stakes.
If you’re looking for super complex and layered character arcs for everyone, this might not be quite right for you… but hey, the show is called Kakegurui, and the music… the openings for both seasons are amazing, seriously! Very stylish, catchy, and they perfectly capture the chaotic energy and look of the show, I definitely wouldn’t skip them… the music during the bets works really well too, it raises the tension and highlights the dramatic moments, it’s like another layer of quality to an already amazing production… so, any final thoughts? Kakegurui is a great anime, it has style, it’s daring and it’s completely crazy, but in a good way, the premise is unique, it looks spectacular (if you can stand the faces!), the games are creative and Yumeko is an unforgettable protagonist...
Yes, it can be predictable at times, and sometimes the secondary characters needed more development, and the pure intensity of the gambling obsession can be too much for some... but how entertaining it is. There were times when I literally held my breath, times when my mouth was open and others when I just had to laugh at how shameless it all is, honestly, I give Kakegurui a solid 8.5/10... it delivers exactly what it promises: high-stakes gambling madness with incredible style, it knows what it is and goes all in... and well, that’s it for today’s post, I hope you liked it, see you in the next reviews, take care! Byebye!
¿Y esas caras exageradas que les decía? Muchas veces son como momentos de un éxtasis casi... ¿sexual?, que les da por la apuesta.. es fuerte, y cero sutil, entiendo perfecto que a algunos esto les pueda chocar, ¿saben? Se siente como algo emocionante y al mismo tiempo súper enfermo.. para mí, era parte del rollo único y medio incómodo de la serie, explora los extremos de cómo se porta la gente en este ambiente tan raro y de tanto riesgo. La segunda temporada le da un giro a las cosas.. hay una dinámica totalmente nueva y un montón de personajes nuevos, muchos bien excéntricos – el clan Momobami, que son parientes de la presidenta, todos peleándose por el poder.. el enfoque ya no es tanto Yumeko contra un miembro del consejo, sino una batalla campal más grande por controlar la escuela, que implica juntar votos ¿adivinen cómo? ¡Pues con más apuestas!
A mí me pareció una jugada inteligente, amplió el panorama, metió nuevas amenazas y evitó que la fórmula se sintiera muy repetitiva.. sentí que las apuestas subieron todavía más, de alguna forma. Un punto donde la serie flaquea un poquito es en el desarrollo de los personajes secundarios.. o sea, Yumeko es fascinante, pero personajes como Suzui (su primer amigo/el que la sigue medio a fuerzas) o incluso Mary Saotome (su rival del inicio que luego tiene una relación complicada con ella) como que no siempre les dan mucha profundidad a sus motivaciones o sus historias, muchas veces nomás están ahí para reaccionar a las locuras de Yumeko, como si fuéramos nosotros viéndola, o como piezas en los juegos más grandes.. tienen sus momentos, ¿eh?, especialmente Mary, que sí tiene un desarrollo decente, pero el foco está totalmente en Yumeko y el espectáculo de las apuestas.
Si buscan arcos de personaje súper complejos y con muchas capas para todos, tal vez esto no les llene del todo.. pero bueno, la serie se llama Kakegurui, y la música.. los openings de las dos temporadas son unos temazos, ¡en serio! Con mucho estilo, pegajosos, y capturan perfecto la energía caótica y el look de la serie, definitivamente yo no me los saltaba.. la música durante las apuestas también funciona súper bien, le sube a la tensión y resalta los momentos dramáticos, es como otra capa de calidad a una producción que ya de por sí se ve increíble.. Entonces, ¿conclusiones finales? Kakegurui es un anime genial, tiene estilo, es atrevida y está completamente loca, pero de la buena manera, la premisa es única, se ve espectacular (¡si aguantan las caras!), los juegos son creativos y Yumeko es una protagonista que no se olvida..
Sí, puede ser predecible a veces, y a veces los personajes secundarios les faltó más desarrollo, y la pura intensidad de la obsesión por las apuestas puede ser demasiado para algunos.. pero qué entretenida es. Hubo ratos en que literal aguantaba la respiración, momentos en que me quedé con la boca abierta y otros en los que nomás me tenía que reír de lo descarado que es toda, la neta, yo a Kakegurui le doy un sólido 8.5/10.. cumple justo lo que te promete: locura de apuestas de alto riesgo con un estilo increíble,sabe lo que es y le entra con todo.. y bueno, hasta aquí el post de hoy, espero que les haya gustado, nos veremos en las próximas reseñas, cuidense!

›Kakegurui, apuestas, locura y una adicción al riesgo (ENG/ESP)@ramonsk8486d
¡Hola, amigos de la comunidad de @theanimerealm! Este es el espacio donde los verdaderos apasionados del anime se reúnen. Espero que estén teniendo un excelente día. El día de hoy les traigo una review de el anime de apuestas y adicciones al juego "Kakegurui".
Hello, friends of the @theanimerealm community! This is the space where true anime fans gather. I hope you're having a great day. Today I bring you a review of the gambling and game addiction anime "Kakegurui".
Si buscas un anime que rompa con lo convencional y te sumerja en un mundo de lujo, apuestas extremas y mentes desquiciadas, Kakegurui es la elección perfecta. Con una animación vibrante y una atmósfera intensa, este anime logra mantener a los espectadores al borde de su asiento con cada partida de apuestas, donde el dinero, la dignidad e incluso la libertad están en juego.
Pero, ¿es solo un anime de juegos de azar o hay algo más detrás de su estética extravagante y sus personajes al borde de la locura?
If you're looking for an anime that breaks away from the conventional and immerses you in a world of luxury, extreme gambling, and deranged minds, Kakegurui is the perfect choice. With vibrant animation and an intense atmosphere, this anime manages to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with every gambling game, where money, dignity, and even freedom are at stake.
But is it just a gambling anime, or is there something more behind its extravagant aesthetics and characters on the verge of madness?
La historia se desarrolla en la Academia Privada Hyakkaou, un instituto donde los estudiantes más ricos de Japón no se miden por su inteligencia o habilidades deportivas, sino por su destreza en las apuestas. Aquí, los ganadores se convierten en la élite de la escuela, mientras que los perdedores se transforman en esclavos conocidos como "mascotas".
Todo cambia con la llegada de Yumeko Jabami, una estudiante transferida que no apuesta por dinero ni por estatus, sino por pura emoción y adrenalina. Su presencia sacude los cimientos de la academia, enfrentándose a los jugadores más sádicos y retorcidos del consejo estudiantil.
A medida que Yumeko avanza, los juegos se vuelven más extremos, y su verdadera naturaleza, la de una adicta a las apuestas, se va revelando con cada enfrentamiento.
The story takes place at Hyakkaou Private Academy, a high school where Japan's richest students are measured not by their intelligence or athletic abilities, but by their gambling prowess. Here, the winners become the school's elite, while the losers are transformed into slaves known as "pets."
Everything changes with the arrival of Yumeko Jabami, a transfer student who bets not for money or status, but for pure excitement and adrenaline. Her presence shakes the foundations of the academy, facing the most sadistic and twisted players of the student council.
As Yumeko progresses, the games become more extreme, and her true nature, that of a gambling addict, is revealed with each confrontation.
Yumeko Jabami no es la típica protagonista de anime. No juega para ganar dinero o reconocimiento, sino porque le encanta el riesgo y el peligro. Su transformación de una chica dulce y educada a una maniaca total con ojos brillando de emoción es uno de los aspectos más fascinantes del anime.
Cada episodio presenta un nuevo reto de apuestas, desde ruletas manipuladas hasta partidas de póker con reglas distorsionadas. La tensión es real y, aunque a veces los juegos pueden parecer absurdos, la forma en que se desarrollan los engaños y estrategias mantiene al espectador enganchado.
El estudio MAPPA hizo un trabajo excepcional en la animación. Uno de los elementos más icónicos de Kakegurui son las expresiones faciales exageradas que muestran los personajes cuando están desesperados, en éxtasis o al borde de la locura. Estas reacciones extremas refuerzan la intensidad de cada apuesta.
El Consejo Estudiantil de Hyakkaou es un grupo de personajes tan extravagantes como aterradores. Cada uno tiene un estilo de juego único y retorcido, y sus enfrentamientos con Yumeko no solo son emocionantes, sino que revelan las perversas dinámicas de poder en la academia.
Desde los trajes elegantes hasta los escenarios de apuestas llenos de glamour, Kakegurui transmite un ambiente de riqueza y exceso. Además, su banda sonora tiene un aire seductor y misterioso, con un opening sumamente adictivo que representa perfectamente la esencia del anime.
Yumeko Jabami is not your typical anime protagonist. She doesn't gamble to win money or recognition, but because she loves risk and danger. Her transformation from a sweet, polite girl to a total maniac with eyes shining with excitement is one of the most fascinating aspects of the anime.
Each episode features a new gambling challenge, from rigged roulette wheels to poker games with twisted rules. The tension is real, and while the games can sometimes seem absurd, the way the deceptions and strategies unfold keeps the viewer hooked.
Studio MAPPA did an exceptional job on the animation. One of the most iconic elements of Kakegurui is the exaggerated facial expressions the characters show when they are desperate, ecstatic, or on the verge of madness. These extreme reactions reinforce the intensity of each bet.
The Hyakkaou Student Council is a group of characters as quirky as they are terrifying. Each has a unique and twisted playstyle, and their clashes with Yumeko are not only thrilling, but reveal the perverse power dynamics at the academy.
From the elegant outfits to the glamorous gambling sets, Kakegurui exudes an atmosphere of wealth and excess. Plus, its soundtrack has a seductive and mysterious air, with an extremely addictive opening that perfectly represents the essence of the anime.
Cada episodio sigue una estructura similar, apuesta, trampa, giro inesperado, locura total. Si bien las apuestas son variadas, la fórmula puede volverse predecible con el tiempo.
A pesar de que algunos personajes del consejo estudiantil son muy interesantes, la serie se enfoca demasiado en Yumeko, dejando poco espacio para el crecimiento de otros protagonistas como Ryota o Mary Saotome (aunque en la segunda temporada mejora un poco).
Each episode follows a similar structure, bet, trap, unexpected twist, total madness. While the stakes are varied, the formula can become predictable over time.
Even though some of the student council characters are very interesting, the series focuses too much on Yumeko, leaving little room for the growth of other protagonists like Ryota or Mary Saotome (although in the second season she improves a bit).
¿Recomiendo Kakegurui? / Do I recommend Kakegurui?
Si buscas un anime diferente, extravagante y lleno de intensidad, Kakegurui es una excelente opción. Su combinación de apuestas, locura y manipulación psicológica lo hace una experiencia única y entretenida.
No es un anime para todos: si esperas una historia con gran profundidad o realismo, Kakegurui puede no ser lo tuyo. Sin embargo, si disfrutas de personajes impredecibles, expresiones faciales exageradas y un ambiente de constante tensión, entonces te encantará.
If you're looking for a different, quirky, and intense anime, Kakegurui is an excellent choice. Its combination of stakes, madness, and psychological manipulation makes for a unique and entertaining experience.
It's not an anime for everyone: if you're expecting a story with great depth or realism, Kakegurui may not be your thing. However, if you enjoy unpredictable characters, exaggerated facial expressions, and an atmosphere of constant tension, then you'll love it.
A pesar de algunos problemas de repetitividad y falta de desarrollo en personajes secundarios, Kakegurui brilla por su protagonista carismática, su atmósfera intensa y su animación impactante. Un anime que te mantendrá entretenido y sorprendido con cada giro inesperado en las apuestas.
Despite some issues with repetitiveness and a lack of development in secondary characters, Kakegurui shines for its charismatic protagonist, its intense atmosphere and its striking animation. An anime that will keep you entertained and surprised with every unexpected turn in the game.
School with strange gambling obsession. All girls gamble to climb ranks or fall down to the bottom.
There are somewhat interesting games and tactics to win but most games end by cheating. "You cheated!" "But when rules were explained nobody said that cheating is not allowed." "Ah, OK then."
"Netflix series", which should raise your suspicions and lower expectations.

›Kakegurui: A Thrilling & Gripping Anime ~ Review@vinzie1812d
Hi, every one, I'm going to review this anime that is one of my favorite. Not just a favorite one but one of a kind game where the characters play in a game at a costs of their money or even their lives. This is one of my most awaited TV series when this was released on 2017 but I didn't know that I watched this again and again.
The story comes from the life of Jabami Yumeko who was recently enrolled at Hyakkaou Private Academy where the students here came from the wealthiest family and most influential people but some are just a normal student who wants to study. Jabami Yumeko is a game addict and a compulsive gamblers where she plays games to the students in the school.
This school has a unique system that the principal don't have any power to control the student from the school instead the student body that controls this school. Student body forms when they are gambling and get the highest votes from all of the students which is becoming a Student President and can control anything inside the school.
Jabami Yumiko is a high school girl who is also clever on gambling but she hates when someone will cheat on the gamble game that she play. Will she climb to the top and beat all of the student body members? You can find out when you watch this anime.
Gamble at its finest
In order to settle things, to increase your influence at school, or to get the student a high advantage to become one of the student body leaders these students will play a game and gamble to the extent where a student will become worthless or become famous.
Some students gamble for the sake of the money, the more money that you have, the more students will target that student and most of the times risks their lives in order to get even from the game.
There are rules to set before they start to play a game. The players will agree with the game and not getting caught that the student is cheating. Any student can make their own game that they like and most of the time, the one who make the game is likely to win from the gamble game.
Characters are unique
I saw different anime and most of the characters only focus on one goal to become powerful, or to get one's attention just like a harem anime but this anime is different because each character have different goals in their mind just like Jabami Yumeko who only likes gambling nothing more nothing less. She doesn't like fame or to become one of the president of the school but she only got there just to play and to gamble to the students in the school.
Some characters like Ryota Suzui wants to get out from the pet life which is the lowest rank because he lost a lot of money by gambling to other students. Itsuki Sumeragi who only likes collecting real nails from the students that she gamble with.
Kirari Momobani who likes interesting students and become her ally, and others like to graduate because when you graduate from this school, the students are guaranteed to get hired from companies.
Story is Getting intense in every episode
Yes, you heard it right, it's getting intense in every episode because of the game that they play and also how Jabami Yumeko twists the game even if Jabami knew that she was being cheated and ignored at first but at a later time, she will reveal it to her opponents in the game and makes them shiver that Jabami is a clever gambler.
Thoughts
All in all, the anime is one of the best that i've watched. For me, I like gambling in a sense that I enjoy watching people play and gamble because It's interesting for me to watch people and I will become thrilled on it.
The animation of this anime is also good which makes it more interesting to watch. There are no boring scenes from this anime and the characters play a vital role from the anime. If this isn't your taste for the genre of this anime, don't bother watching this.
Here is a short review that may contain some spoilers, not so much in terms of the script (which one? 😅) but rather its development with the characters.
An anime about gambling, in an Academy with rich kids, that is entirely based on how to edge lord every character for no reason , just because they are rich and corrupt and sick, but without going deep at all in this part socially or politically.
From the beginning I wanted to see how it would turn out and if it would continue like this, and its over the top exaggeration in the fan serving psychopathy of the characters had me foreshadowing the course it would take.
For as many characters as he wanted he gave a depth like 1 minute, so as not to leave us complaining that he didn't delve into anyone .
The protagonist is probably the most uninteresting character I've ever seen in a series, and I didn't mind that he was bland for most of the series because if you build it well it can be a very interesting feature, after all we're not looking for flawless heroes . But honestly, whether it was there or not, it wouldn't change anything in the series, and that's problematic.
On the other hand, ok, the interest in the games was based around PLOT WISTS, where I'm sure somewhere in between the creator just put on his buffs and was in a "I'LL GET SO MUCH PLOTTING" phase and the rest of his friends they agreed somewhere. Sorry, that's the level (I don't mean to offend anyone who drinks, obviously, it's just true that when you're drunk you get excited about the cleverness of things that are stupid, which has its own fun, UNLESS YOU'RE WRITING A SCREEN FOR KAKEGURUI).
My point is, a 12-13 episode series relies on being interesting through characters who are all edge lords in their own way, because just like that, and supposedly clever gambling games, which in their own way, were incredibly predictable.
I'm thinking how interesting this anime could be if it delved into the stink of this high class, like I said, socially, politically, the purpose for which this condition was created by playing extreme gambling in an Academy (it doesn't tell us when was this, apart from being something done for the sake of it? ), what political games could be behind it, and of course, if Yumeko - indeed a psychopathic and well-written character - transferred to the Academy to make them upside down for good.
Of course, this ideal is in my own head.
So Kakegurui, one of the worst anime I've ever seen, I won't even get into the process of watching a second season.
›Gambling, Thrills and a Dose of Madness | Kakegurui Review [En/Es]@adalathu1089d
Hello, my dear friki friends! Today I come to share with you my review of an anime that I just finished for the second time and that kept me hooked as if it was the first time. I'm talking about Kakegurui, a series that takes you into a dazzling and addictive world full of gambling and power. Get ready to delve into Hyakkaou Private Academy, where gambling is more than a pastime, it's the students' way of life.
Baje para ver la versión en español o haga clic - AQUÍ -
The story follows Yumeko Jabami, a transfer student who defies all the rules imposed by the Student Council, which has absolute control of the academy through a pet system. Here, if you lose large sums of money in bets (yes, they bet real money), you become a mascot, a mere servant of others. It is to this peculiar place that Yumeko arrives, with her mind set on the goal of winning and experiencing the thrill of risk and uncertainty. But her arrival unleashes a series of events that will shift the balance of power and challenge all the students' expectations.
One of Kakegurui's great strengths is its ability to create exaggerated and exciting situations in each episode. Each game of chance becomes an intellectual duel in which the characters display cunning and risky strategies that border on the ridiculous. The series plays with our emotions, keeping us in anticipation and not knowing what to expect next. Each bet is a roller coaster of emotions, with unexpected twists and turns that maintain suspense and intrigue throughout.
But don't think Kakegurui is all about gambling and betting. The series has a great touch of comedy that will make us laugh out loud on more than one occasion. The characters, in their eagerness to win and prove their superiority, become exaggerated and extravagant, producing hilarious and absurd situations that cross the line of the real and reach the irrational. The exaggerated reactions and comical facial expressions brought more than one smile to my face as I tried to keep up with the wit of the games.
Another aspect I liked about Kakegurui is its animation, which is simply stunning. Every movement and every facial expression of the characters is carefully animated to bring out the intensity and quirkiness of the game. The vibrant colors and all its details make every scene visually stunning. The character designs are striking and unique, perfectly capturing the personalities and eccentricities of the protagonists. The animation is fluid and dynamic, adding to the excitement and tension in every gameplay.
I can't fail to mention the incredible soundtrack that accompanies Kakegurui. The openings of both seasons are great, their energetic rhythms and catchy melodies immerse us even more in the crazy world of the game. During the episodes the music becomes an essential part of the experience, increasing the adrenaline in each bet. The combination of animation and soundtrack creates a fascinating and extravagant atmosphere that completely envelops us.
This series not only excels in animation and music, it also has interesting character development. As the plot progresses, we discover deeper layers of the protagonists and explore their motivations and desires in greater depth. Each character has their own way of playing and dealing with challenges, which makes them interesting and complex. Yumeko, in particular, is a fascinating character, with dazzling intelligence and audacity. Her charisma, her impulsiveness to gamble and her ability to read her opponents make her a thoroughly entertaining protagonist.
Kakegurui is an anime that brilliantly combines the thrill of gambling, hilarious comedy, high-quality animation and an evocative soundtrack. Each episode is an emotional journey full of twists and turns, with memorable characters and a plot that grabs us from the start. If you like the adrenaline rush of gambling, over-the-top humor and stunning animation, Kakegurui is a sure bet. I recommend you to enter this exciting world where destiny and life are gambled every day.
¡Hola, mis queridos frikis amigos! Hoy vengo a compartirles mi reseña de un anime que acabo de terminar de ver por segunda vez y que me mantuvo enganchada como si fuera la primera vez. Estoy hablando de Kakegurui, una serie que te lleva a un mundo deslumbrante y adictivo lleno de juegos de azar y poder. Prepárense para adentrarse en la Academia Privada Hyakkaou, donde las apuestas son más que un pasatiempo, son el estilo de vida de los estudiantes.
La historia sigue a Yumeko Jabami, una estudiante transferida que desafía todas las reglas impuestas por el Consejo Estudiantil, el cual tiene el control absoluto de la academia a través de un sistema de mascotas. Aquí, si pierdes grandes sumas de dinero en las apuestas (sí, apuestan dinero de verdad), te conviertes en una mascota, un mero sirviente de los demás. A este lugar tan peculiar es al que llega Yumeko, con su mente puesta en el objetivo de ganar y de experimentar la emoción del riesgo y la incertidumbre. Pero su llegada desata una serie de eventos que cambiarán el equilibrio del poder y desafiarán todas las expectativas de los estudiantes.
Una de las grandes fortalezas de Kakegurui es su capacidad para crear situaciones exageradas y emocionantes en cada episodio. Cada juego de azar se convierte en un duelo intelectual en el que los personajes despliegan estrategias astutas y arriesgadas que rayan en lo ridículo. La serie juega con nuestras emociones, manteniéndonos a la expectativa y sin saber qué esperar a continuación. Cada apuesta es una montaña rusa de emociones, con giros y vueltas inesperadas que mantienen el suspenso y la intriga en todo momento.
Pero no crean que Kakegurui se queda solo en los juegos de azar y las apuestas. La serie tiene un gran toque de comedia que hará que soltemos fuertes carcajadas en más de una ocasión. Los personajes, en su afán por ganar y demostrar su superioridad, se vuelven exagerados y extravagantes, produciendo situaciones hilarantes y absurdas que pasan la línea de lo real y llegan a lo irracional. Las reacciones exageradas y las expresiones faciales cómicas me sacaron más de una sonrisa mientras intentaba seguirle el hiloa lo ingenioso de los juegos.
Otro aspecto que me gustó de Kakegurui es su animación, la cual es simplemente impresionante. Cada movimiento y cada expresión facial de los personajes está cuidadosamente animado para resaltar la intensidad y la extravagancia del juego. Los colores vibrantes y todos sus detalles hacen que cada escena sea visualmente impactante. Los diseños de los personajes son llamativos y únicos, capturando a la perfección las personalidades y excentricidades de los protagonistas. La animación es fluida y dinámica, lo que aumenta la emoción y la tensión en cada partida.
No puedo dejar de mencionar la increíble banda sonora que acompaña a Kakegurui. Los opening de ambas temporadas son geniales, sus ritmos enérgicos y las melodías pegadizas nos sumergen aún más en el mundo alocado del juego. Durante los episodios la música se convierte en una parte esencial de la experiencia, aumentando la adrenalina en cada apuesta. La combinación entre la animación y la banda sonora crea un ambiente fascinante y extravagante que nos envuelve por completo.
Esta serie no solo destaca en la animación y la música, también tiene un desarrollo de personajes interesante. A medida que avanza la trama, descubrimos capas más profundas de los protagonistas y exploramos sus motivaciones y deseos en mayor profundidad. Cada personaje tiene su propia forma de jugar y enfrentar los desafíos, lo que los hace interesantes y complejos. Yumeko, en particular, es un personaje fascinante, con una inteligencia y audacia deslumbrantes. Su carisma, su impulsividad para apostar y su habilidad para leer a sus oponentes la convierten en una protagonista totalmente divertida.
Kakegurui es un anime que combina de manera brillante la emoción de los juegos de azar, una comedia hilarante, una animación de alta calidad y una banda sonora sugestiva. Cada episodio es un viaje emocional lleno de giros y vueltas, con personajes memorables y una trama que nos atrapa desde el principio. Si les gusta la adrenalina de los juegos de azar, el humor exagerado y una animación impresionante, Kakegurui es una apuesta segura. Les recomiendo que se adentren en este emocionante mundo donde el destino y la vida se apuestan todos los días.

The story takes place at Hyakkaou Private Academy, an elite high-class school that houses the children of the wealthiest and most influential people in Japan. However, the student hierarchy at this school is not determined by academic performance or athleticism, but rather by stakes.
Students are ranked by their monetary contributions submitted to the student council. Students who win, gain popularity, prestige and connections. The others, those who lose, go into debt and become slaves, "domestic animals". Pets that fail to pay off their debts by graduation are given a "Life Schedule", which dictates their future as they pay their debts with life.
Kakegurui was one of the promising series of summer 2017. The first impressions had been very exciting, full of intensity, suspense and presented an interesting idea, and it remained to be seen if the anime would maintain that quality. The good thing is that Kakegurui was able to maintain and fulfill that expectation.
Kakegurui fue una de las prometedoras series del verano del 2017. Las primeras impresiones habían sido muy emocionantes, llenas de intensidad, suspenso y presentó una idea interesante, y quedaba por ver si el anime mantendría esa calidad. Lo bueno es que Kakegurui fue capaz de mantener y cumplir esa expectativa.
Kakegurui (Compulsive Gambler) is a psychological, mystery and game series. The action takes place at Hyakkaou Private Academy. It is an institution only for privileged students, children of wealthy and influential families. But in this school, it is not important that the student is an excellent athlete or genius in mathematics or science. What matters in this academy is the student's ability to outperform his opponent in games of luck and chance. In this school, whoever wins the games is treated as king/queen. And those who lose are at the bottom of the school's social hierarchy, being treated like dirt. However, everything changes when student Yumeko Jabami enters Hyakkaou Private Academy.
Kakegurui (Compulsive Gambler) es una serie psicológica, de misterio y de juegos. La acción tiene lugar en la Academia Privada Hyakkaou. Es una institución sólo para estudiantes privilegiados, hijos de familias ricas e influyentes. Pero en esta escuela, no es importante que el estudiante sea un excelente atleta o genio de las matemáticas o la ciencia. Lo que importa en esta academia es la capacidad del estudiante para superar a su oponente en juegos de suerte y azar. En esta escuela, quien gane los juegos es tratado como rey/reina. Y los que pierden están en el fondo de la jerarquía social de la escuela, siendo tratados como basura. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando el estudiante Yumeko Jabami entra en la Academia Privada Hyakkaou.
This is not the first anime series to focus on gambling or gambling. But it is one of the few that has as its protagonist someone who likes the excitement brought on by the suspense and uncertainty of gambling. And who takes pleasure in pushing that excitement to the limit. Unlike the usual protagonist who is pushed against his will in this world of gambling and whose goal is not to give in to temptation and vice and get away from this universe.
Esta no es la primera serie de anime que se centra en juegos de azar o apuestas. Pero es uno de los pocos que tiene como protagonista a alguien a quien le gusta la emoción provocada por el suspenso y la incertidumbre del juego. Y que sea un placer llevar esa emoción al límite. A diferencia del protagonista habitual que es empujado en contra de su voluntad en este mundo de las apuestas y cuyo objetivo no es ceder a la tentación y al vicio y alejarse de este universo.
Since the narrative is essentially focused on gambling and the bets that are made during these challenges, throughout the episodes we will have the opportunity to see everything that comes from gambling. Starting, of course, from the addiction it causes, to the debts that are accumulating, the failed attempts to recover what has been lost, the despair, the humiliation. But we will also see how games that are supposed to be based on luck or bad luck can be manipulated. This approach allows the series to allude to the corrupt side of society, even within the school itself, as can be seen in the opening episode, where those at the bottom of the social pyramid of academia try to climb the hierarchy by doing favors for the elites and manipulating games.
Dado que la narrativa se centra esencialmente en los juegos de azar y las apuestas que se hacen durante estos retos, a lo largo de los episodios tendremos la oportunidad de ver todo lo que viene del juego. Comenzando, por supuesto, por la adicción que causa, a las deudas que se están acumulando, los intentos fallidos de recuperar lo que se ha perdido, la desesperación, la humillación. Pero también veremos cómo los juegos que se supone que se basan en la suerte o la mala suerte pueden ser manipulados. Este enfoque permite que la serie alude al lado corrupto de la sociedad, incluso dentro de la propia escuela, como se puede ver en el episodio inicial, donde los que están en la base de la pirámide social de la academia tratan de escalar la jerarquía haciendo favores a las élites y manipulando juegos.
Kakegurui is a series from the MAPPA studio, a name that has been gaining more and more strength and relevance in the Japanese animation universe. The animation of the anime is beautiful, giving close up looks and mouths, giving an even greater tension the stakes. The work has a beautiful character design, which several times squandered sensuality. The soundtrack is also great. And it follows well the key moments of the plot, in the most diverse and varied games that are presented to us in the course of the anime. In this new series of theirs, the studio does not disappoint. Kakegurui is mainly composed of scenes of great suspense. Even when sometimes the narrative is not enough to make those moments great, they end up being rescued by the animation and realization of the series. These two elements, explored in good harmony, have the ability to elevate the scene to a level that the plot alone was not achieving.
Kakegurui es una serie del estudio MAPPA,un nombre que ha ido ganando cada vez más fuerza y relevancia en el universo de las animaciones japonesas. La animación del anime es hermosa, dando de cerca las miradas y las bocas, dando una tensión aún mayor las apuestas. La obra tiene un hermoso diseño de carácter, que varias veces despilfarró sensualidad. La banda sonora también es genial. Y sigue bien los momentos clave de la trama, en los juegos más diversos y variados que se nos presentan en el transcurso del anime. En esta nueva serie suya, el estudio no decepciona. Kakegurui se compone principalmente de escenas de gran suspenso. Incluso cuando a veces la narrativa no es suficiente para grandecer esos momentos, terminan siendo rescatados por la animación y realización de la serie. Estos dos elementos, explorados en buena armonía, tienen la capacidad de elevar la escena a un nivel que el argumento por sí solo no estaba logrando.
With a good proposal and a very interesting approach, Kakegurui can please not only anime fans, but someone who does not have so much contact with this content. On several occasions we are presented with real moments of tension and almost bordering on a psychological terror. As we follow some characters going to the limit (or passing it) in favor of the desire and addiction of the games. Kakegurui is a good anime bet, literally speaking.
Con una buena propuesta y un enfoque muy interesante, Kakegurui puede complacer no sólo a los fans del anime, pero alguien que no tiene tanto contacto con este contenido. En varias ocasiones nos presentan momentos reales de tensión y casi bordeando un terror psicológico. Ya que seguimos a algunos personajes yendo al límite (o pasándolo) a favor del deseo y la adicción de los juegos. Kakegurui es una buena apuesta de anime, literalmente hablando.
Hello, human beings! Today I come back and talk to you about anime. During the two weeks that I was not publishing, I had an anime marathon that I wanted to see and I had not had time, among the many I saw, one of them was Kakegurui, I liked it a lot, so I will tell you a little bit about it, so, here I go.
This anime of drama and mystery places us in the Hyakkaou Academy, where the children of all the elite families are studying, but above all, gambling. The student council, as well as the rest of the situations that arise at the Academy are resolved by gambling, without taking into consideration the consequences of their actions.
¡Hola, seres vivos! Hoy vuelvo y les vengo a hablar de anime. Durante las dos semanas que estuve sin publicar tuve un maratón de animes que tenía ganas de ver y no había tenido tiempo, entre los muchos que vi, uno de ellos fue Kakegurui, me gustó mucho, así que les hablaré un poco sobre él, así que, aquí voy.
Este anime de drama y misterio nos sitúa en la Academia Hyakkaou, donde los hijos de todas las familias élite se encuentran estudiando, pero sobre todo, apostando. El consejo estudiantil, así como el resto de situaciones que se presentan en la Academia se resuelven apostando, jugando, sin tener en consideración las consecuencias de sus actos.
Our protagonist is Yumeko Jabami, a student who has just transferred to the second year, and since the first day she begins to demonstrate what can be called addiction, compulsion, skill and intensity with which she loves games, for which she practically lives.
Jabami has too many particularities and I could never list them all. She not only loves games, nor playing them, but she loves all the possibilities of the results of the games, she hates games that are fixed and she knows easily who is going to win and who is going to lose, she plays because she knows she can win or lose no matter what, she plays compulsively, she doesn't care about money, her life, or the destiny of her existence at the moment of betting.
Nuestra protagonista es Yumeko Jabami, una estudiante que acaba de ser transferida al segundo año, y desde que el primer día comienza a demostrar lo que puede llamarse adicción, compulsión, habilidad e intensidad con la que ama los juegos, por los que prácticamente vive.
Jabami tiene demasiadas particularidades y nunca podría llegar a enumerarlas todas. Ella no solo ama los juegos, ni jugarlos, si no que ama todas las posibilidades de los resultados de los juegos, odia los juegos que están arreglados y se sabe fácilmente quien va a ganar y quien va a perder, ella juega porque sabe que puede ganar o perder sin importar qué, juega compulsivamente, no le importa el dinero, su vida, o el destino de su existencia en el momento de apostar.
One of the many peculiarities that Kakegurui has is the physical transformation of the characters during the bets, their true selves are revealed and the features of the faces have a grotesque and vulgar transformation suitable for what they are doing: compulsive gambling. The color of the eyes changes and stands out, the tears become exaggerated and the saliva comes out in uncontrollable piles.
I loved each one of the transformations in their gambling demons, during the whole game they may be playing normally, but when they reach the climax of the moment, of knowing who wins and loses, they all end up becoming demons, gods or simple mortals who cannot stand an existence full of gambling.
Una de las muchas peculiaridades que tiene Kakegurui es la transformación física de los personajes durante las apuestas, se revela su verdadero ser y las facciones de los rostros tienen una transformación grotesca y vulgar adecuada para lo que están haciendo: apostar compulsivamente. El color de los ojos cambia y se resalta, las lágrimas se vuelven exageradas y la saliva sale por montones incontrolables.
Amé cada una de las transformaciones en sus demonios apostadores, durante toda la partida pueden estar jugando normal, pero al llegar al climax del momento, de saber quien gana y pierde, todos terminan convertidos en demonios, dioses o simples mortales que no soportan una existencia llena de apuestas.
With the arrival of Yumeko Jabami, the student council made up of the best student gamblers in the academy is cornered and forced to try and stop her with a number of games and situations that put the life, health or destiny of all those who play at risk.
The games are evolving as the series progresses, from simple poker games, blackjack, to become inventions of the characters, like a guillotine where they can lose a finger, get shot, or have to throw themselves from the fifth floor of a building, and those are not the worst, because despite dying, if someone comes to lose his entire existence can pass into the hands of the other person and decide everything he will do in his life from that moment, practically becomes his slave.
Con la llegada de Yumeko Jabami, el consejo estudiantil formado por los mejores estudiantes apostadores de la academia se ve acorralado y en la obligación de intentar detenerla con una cantidad de juegos y situaciones que ponen en riesgo la vida, la salud o el destino de todos los que juegan.
Los juegos van evolucionando mientras avanza la serie, desde simples juegos de poker, blackjack, hasta convertirse en invenciones de los personajes, como una guillotina donde pueden perder un dedo, recibir un disparo, o tener que lanzarse desde el quinto piso de un edificio, y esos no son los peores, porque a pesar de morir, si alguien llega a perder su entera existencia puede pasar a manos de la otra persona y decidir todo lo que va a hacer en su vida a partir de ese momento, prácticamente se convierte en su esclavo.
Even though I liked it very much, and it explores parts of the human being such as addictions, in this case towards games, the story takes a little while to evolve and take its next step, it becomes monotonous during many chapters, no matter that the games and the situations in which Jabami is placed are more and more insane and dangerous, but the same pattern is repeated for a long time making it possible to lose interest in continuing it. I finished it and I loved it very much.
I recommend them if you want to hang out and not get too stressed out looking for what to see, it's not relaxed, it's very stressful, but easy to see, if you decide to do it you're not going to regret it, it's an anime that can be considered more of the bunch, but that's why it's still good. The amount of different characters, the evolution of them through the chapters, and how Jabami remains herself no matter what she has to go through, makes Kakegurui a masterpiece.
A pesar de que me gustó muchísimo, y explora partes del ser humano como lo son las adicciones, en este caso hacia los juegos, la historia tarda un poco en evolucionar y dar su siguiente paso, se vuelve monótona durante muchos capítulos, sin importar que los juegos y las situaciones en las que se coloca Jabami sean cada vez más insanas y peligrosas, pero se repite el mismo patrón durante mucho tiempo haciendo que se pueda llegar a perder el interés en continuarla. Yo la terminé y me encantó muchísimo.
Se las recomiendo si quieren pasar el rato y no estresarse mucho buscando qué ver, no es relajada, es muy estresante, pero fácil de ver, si deciden hacerlo no se van a arrepentir, es un anime que puede ser considerado más del montón, pero por eso no deja de ser bueno. La cantidad de diferentes personajes, la evolución de ellos a través de los cap´tulos, y como Jabami sigue siendo ella misma sin importar por todo lo que tiene que pasar, hace que Kakegurui sea una obra maestra.
There are many school animals to see and they will always keep coming out more because in the end it is a quite common genre in anime but in the same way many are very good to see and some seek to make their story not as common as the great majority of comedies or romantic dramas that use this genre. An example of this and that I liked very much personally the theme they chose is Kakegurui, a story where high level bets with extravagant consequences are combined with the life of the protagonists in a high school controlled by the same bets. I will try to give a concrete explanation about it but in the same way avoiding the Spoilers so that if someone decides to watch it the anime is not ruined.
The premise of this anime is simple, it is about a school where bets are the main and most essential thing in it, the better you are betting and winning the better your life will be in the school and the more reputation you will have but if on the contrary you are bad in the bets or you will owe a lot of money you will have a very bad time because there is a list of all the students based on their betting skills and favorable balance, If a student makes it into the top 100 because of gambling debt, they will be required to wear a collar with a long chain around their neck identifying them as a "pet" and must comply with the orders of any other student who is not a pet.
In the first episode Yumeko Jabami arrives at the institute as a new student. She is a black haired girl with a very interesting attitude and a great obsession for betting because from the first day she asks Suzui, the boy who shows her the institute, to take her to where they make the bets and she begins to bet at a high level and is very good at it because she manages to win almost always and in any type of bets, as well as the fact of having a lot of money and this allows her to raise the bets to a surprising level at all times. From that moment on, Yumeko and Suzui become friends and this will help her in her obsession of playing bets every time as well as with her goal of betting against the best and those who have the control of the institute who are the members of the student council. The bets against the council members are at a much higher level than those made by ordinary students and in fact if they owe a lot of money to the council they make a life plan for the student as payment, where if she does not manage to pay them all her life will be planned and controlled by them and she will decide who she will marry, what she will work for and everything.
The bets can be some of the most extravagant that you can imagine, from having to play Russian roulette if you lose in guessing some cards to bet in a kind of guillotine for fingers in who will be the last one to remove the finger, even in one of the bets between the members of the student council the bet was to take out an eye to show it to the winner and so it was done. In the second season we see how the members of the different families of the Bami clan arrive at the academy and begin a series of uncontrolled bets to take control of the student council and they become more and more interesting and mysterious.
I found this anime very funny and interesting to watch, more because of the variety of the bets and Jabami's attitude towards them that to say little could be called something peculiar, it is also striking how she resolves them and how she has a great capacity to analyze and think about all possible variables, although in the same way in some cases she simply leaves everything to chance and plays without thinking and as expected for the protagonist it turns out well. Personally I can recommend this anime because I found it very good, as an additional fact I discovered that Kakegurui for some reason has a Live Action adaptation made in Japan and as expected is very bad. Seriously, who would think of doing Live Action on anime and think that it will work (do not remember the Live Action of Dragon Ball please ... it was horrible to see it at the time).
Animes escolares hay muchos para ver y siempre seguirán saliendo más pues al final es un género bastante común en el anime pero de igual forma muchos son muy buenos de ver y algunos buscan hacer que su historia no sea tan común como la gran mayoría de comedias o dramas románticos que usan este género. Un ejemplo de ello y que me gustó mucho en lo personal la temática que escogieron es Kakegurui una historia en donde las apuestas en alto nivel y con consecuencias extravagantes se juntan con la vida de los protagonistas en un instituto contralado por las mismas apuestas. Tratare de dar una explicación concreta sobre el mismo pero de la misma manera evitando los Spoiler para si alguien decide verla no se arruine el anime.
La premisa de este anime es sencillo, trata de un instituto donde las apuestas son lo principal y más esencial en el mismo, entre mejor seas apostando y ganando mejor será tu vida en el instituto y más reputación tendrás pero si por el contrario eres malo en las apuestas o llegas a deber mucho dinero la pasaras muy mal pues existe una lista de todos los estudiantes en base a sus destrezas en las apuestas y saldo favorable, si un estudiante llega a quedar entre los últimos 100 debido a la deuda que tenga producto de apostar pasara a llevar un collar con cadena larga en el cuello que los identifica como “mascota” y deberán cumplir las órdenes de cualquier otro estudiante que no sea mascota, debido a ellos si están entre los últimos serán constantemente humillados y abusados por los demás y para liberarse de eso así como dejar de ser una “mascota” deberán pagar toda su deuda o seguir apostando hasta que consigan ganar más de lo que deben.
En el primer episodio llega al instituto como alumna nueva Yumeko Jabami una muchacha de pelo negro con una actitud muy interesante y una gran obsesión por la apuestas pues desde el primer día le pide a Suzui el muchacho que le muestra el instituto que la lleve a donde hacen las apuestas y esta empieza apostar a gran nivel y es muy buena para ello pues consigue ganar casi siempre y en cualquier tipo de apuestas, así como el hecho de tener mucho dinero y esto le permite subir las apuestas a un nivel sorprendente en todo momento. Desde ese momento Yumeko y Suzui se vuelven amigos y este la ayudara en su obsesión por jugar apuestas a cada rato así como con su objetivo de apostar contra los mejores y quienes tienen el control del instituto quienes son los miembros del consejo estudiantil. Las apuestas contra los miembros del consejo son a un nivel muy superior a las realizadas por los estudiantes comunes y de hecho si llegan a deberles mucho dinero al consejo ellos realizan un plan de vida para el estudiante como pago, en donde si no logra pagarles toda su vida será planeada y controlada por ellos llegando a decidir con quién se casara, de que trabajara y todo.
Las apuestas pueden ser de los más extravagantes que se puede imaginar, desde tener que jugar a la ruleta rusa si pierdes en adivinar unas cartas hasta apostar en una especie de guillotina para dedos en quien será el último en quitar el dedo, incluso en una de las apuestas entre los miembros del consejo estudiantil la apuesta fue extraerse un ojo para mostrárselo al ganador y así se hizo. En la segunda temporada vemos como llega a la academia los miembros de las diferentes familias del clan Bami y empiezan una serie de apuestas descontroladas por conseguir tomar el control del consejo estudiantil y se vuelven cada vez más interesantes y misteriosas las mismas.
Este anime me resulto muy divertido e interesante de ver, más por la variedad de las apuestas y la actitud de Jabami hacia las mismas que por decir poco se le podría llamar algo peculiar, también resulta llamativo la forma en que ella resuelve las misma y como tiene una gran capacidad para analizar y pensar sobre todas las posibles variables, aunque de la misma forma en algunos casos simplemente deja todo a la suerte y juega sin pensar y como es de esperar para la protagonista le resulta bien. Personalmente puede recomendar este anime ya que me pareció muy bueno, como un dato adicional descubrí que Kakegurui por alguna razón tiene una adaptación Live Action hecha en Japón y como es de esperar es muy mala. En serio a quien se le ocurre hacer Live Action sobre anime y pensar que saldrá bien (no recordemos el Live Action de Dragon Ball por favor… ya fue horrible verlo en su momento).
›Kakegurui Season 2 is Here (Review)@filotasriza32728d
The new anime season is here for good and i couldn't just continue with my everyday life schedule without checking on it. Turns out we have some new and interesting anime this year as well as new seasons for existing known ones. Today i am gonna talk and review Kakegurui's second season!
General info
The first season of Kakegurui had 12 episodes and the studio behind it was the known Studio MAPPA. Exactly the same thing will apply for the second season, both keeping the same studio and having a total of 12 episodes. The genres of this anime are Game, Mystery, Psychological, Drama,School and Shounen.
Plot
The plot of season 1 is that there is School different from the other ones, in which mostly rich kids are attending. The school is suppose to prepare them from the reality out there and that's why we can divide it in 2 major teaching curriculums (curricula?). The first one is the everyday subjects like in every school and the second one which takes place after the first one comes to an end is the Gambling Den!

season 1 trailer
In the Gambling Den students use actual money to Gamble, or other things they have and they can even bet their own life in a way, thus becoming something like slaves to the winners. The whole thing is suppose to give them the knowledge of money, how to use them and ofc how to manipulate others in order to achieve whatever they want. To oversee all this there is a council of students who are the best ones regarding manipulation and gambling.
One day a new and beautiful girl named Yumeko Jabami enters the school and soon many students try to take her money via gambling and generally make her a slave. Yumeko though not only beats them but apparently she is a bit crazy and she likes to gamble a lot. She doesn't gamble for money, just for the thrill of it.
Plot Of Season 2
In season 2 the President of the Council Kirari Momobami who i bet is a psycho in par with Jabami calls representatives of her family (think of it like a major clan, with sub-clans inside) and issue a new type of gambling in which the winner becomes President and rules over the school and ofc the world as she/he will have every rich students under her/his palm. As you can imagine we gonna see some crazy gambling games once again with Jabami leading the way!

season 2 trailer
What's Good About The Anime
To begin with i don't this anime is something for the average viewer or someone who wanna watch his/her first anime. In a way it will feel a bit weird to them and a bit "WTF am i watching now" so my advice is to have spent a little bit of time watching anime and not only the most known ones.
Having said that, the anime is awesome, the whole story is a bit unique and the characters are amazing. Note that when we are talking about gambling it can be anything, not only the games you see in Casino. Also, note that we are talking about an anime, something that means if gambling games sound or seem crazy, multiply that craziness x 1000 and there you have it! The most amazing thing though is the reactions and expressions the Characters show, which are extremely intense either that is craziness, fear or excitement!
›Kakegurui Season 2 Episode 3 English Subbed@kissanime2731d
Watch Kakegurui XX Episode 3 English Subbed streaming
Unlike many schools, attending Hyakkaou Private Academy prepares students for their time in the real world. Since many of the students are the children of the richest people in the world, the academy has its quirks that separate it from all the others. By day, it is a normal school, educating its pupils in history, languages, and the like. But at night, it turns into a gambling den, educating them in the art of dealing with money and manipulating people. Money is power; those who come out on top in the games stand at the top of the school.
Yumeko Jabami, a seemingly naive and beautiful transfer student, is ready to try her hand at Hyakkaou's special curriculum. Unlike the rest, she doesn't play to win, but for the thrill of the gamble, and her borderline insane way of gambling might just bring too many new cards to the table.
Hello Steemit people, I return with the anime themes and their recommendations, this time, from Kakegurui, an anime that is based on betting and psychological games.
The Kakegurui anime premiered last year 2017, in July, the story focuses on Yumeko Jabami a new girl transferred to the private academy Hyakkao where students have great capital and enjoy making bets, so they have their own system of classification, where "pets" are people who owe money and are treated with inferiority and who by rules must wear a collar to be classified, Yumeko Jabami wants to be able to face the entire student council. For what? It is not known yet that she is a gambling addict, a Kakegurui.
Kakegurui seemed to me an interesting anime since I started it until I finished it, a short anime of 12 episodes and that is expected another season, I love how the characters are shown with so much lust and desire to win or desperation when they are about to lose, as you feel that tension and despair of the characters, without saying that the opening is fantastic, I hope for the second installment of this anime, which I hope will leave you as desirous of more as me.
Kakegurui is an anime that I recommend for how the characters are transformed in their moments of despair and lust, something fascinating to see, without more to add, I hope you liked it, we read in another post.

Kakegurui es un anime que recomiendo por como los personajes se transforman en sus momentos de desespero y lujuria, algo fascinante de ver, sin mas que agregar, espero les haya gustado, nos leemos en otro post.
Nei miei momenti liberi Netflix è il mio fedele compagno e su di esso seguo vari anime, uno di questi è Kakegurui.
Kakegurui o in inglese compulsive gambler è un anime interessante, grafica graffiante, personaggi grotteschi, un lieve tocco dark e una forte carica erotica.
Tratto da un manga di Homura Kawamoto e serializzato dalla Square Enix, Kakegurui si presenta come un anime unico nel suo genere.
L' anime è ambientato all' interno di una scuola molto particolare, composta da ricchi figli di papà con il vizio del gioco d' azzardo.
Vizio che impregna tutte le loro vite una volta finite le lezioni e che trasforma i perdenti in veri e propri capri espiatori chiamati animali domestici e costretti a servire i vincenti come schiavi. Una delle più fortunate al gioco è la giovane biondina Mary Saotome che con un bel po di sadismo non esita a maltrattare e umiliare chi perde giocando con lei.
In un mix di debiti, crediti e schiavismo arriva una nuova e affascinante studentessa Yumeko Jabami.
Yumeko oltre ad essere bella ha un vero talento nel gioco e nello scoprire i trucchi dietro di esso, oltre ad avere una sorta di perversione per qualsiasi cosa richieda un rischio. La giovane sfida anche il potente consiglio studentesco composto da brillanti e sadiche giocatrici, vincendo brillantemente e senza un briciolo di paura.
L' anime si snoda a suon di partite al limite dell' inverosimile con una posta in gioco sempre più alta, tanto da coinvolgere sangue, torture fisiche e psicologiche.
Il tutto condito dalle espressioni perverse delle protagoniste eccitate da questa spirale di rischio e crudeltà.
Nel mezzo di questo si trova anche il giovane e remissivo Ryota coinvolto suo malgrado che si ritroverà a spalleggiare la bella Yumeko.
Il potere nella scuola subirà grossi cambiamenti e se ne vedono delle belle.
Per chi ama gli anime fuori dal comune ed eccessivi Kakegurui è una visione divertente!
It is always disappointing to encounter a show with so much potential, only to have it squandered through pandering to the lowest common denominator.
But before we make a full evaluation, let's review the facts.
It's Like Hogwarts, if Hogwarts was a Casino
Ah, the magical school trope.
It's often overused, but in the right hands it can make for a compelling story. Whether you're learning to become a wizard at Hogwarts, training as a demon hunter at True Cross Academy, or even honing your ninja skills in Konoha, magical schools are a great way to live out your power fantasies.
And they don't even have to be magical. Some "magical schools" are more scientific in nature, such as in Ender's Game or other popular stories.
Or, sometimes, they're all about gambling.
Seriously.
Kakegurui is about a fictional high school in Japan where the students are high stakes gamblers, and their entire lives revolve around games of chance and skill. The best students can achieve riches beyond their wildest dreams, but a terrible retribution awaits those who lose.
The Story
One day, a new girl named Yumeko arrives at Hyakkou Academy, where all students are beholden to a strict hierarchy depending on their gambling skills.
Since Yumeko is a compulsive gambler who enjoys losing just as much as winning, she immediately upsets the social order, taking on all comers and racking up a surprising number of wins.
Her winning strategy comes from her irrational behavior. The top-tier gamblers at the school have attained their position by learning to anticipate their opponents, but Yumeko's actions cannot be anticipated, as she often acts against her immediate interests.
But she inevitably draws the attention of the student council, which at this school is an Illuminati-esque cabal of power players who secretly control all aspects of the students' lives.
At Hyakkou Academy, any student who gambles themselves into debt are thereafter designated "class pets", and are treated as beasts of burden who must perform any chore required of them by the "human" students.
As Yumeko craves greater and greater risks, she will face off against each member of the student council and raise the stakes to billions of yen, all in her quest to battle the student council president in a game with the greatest imaginable risk.
Character Dynamics
One noticeable flaw of this series is the way other characters are shoved aside in favor of Yumeko.
Granted, some of this is just a natural consequence. Yumeko's personality is so imposing that it kind of squashes everyone all comers---which is in keeping with her storyline of overpowering the powerful.
But because of this, the other characters are largely forgettable, especially the other sympathetic heroes, such as Ryota, who functions as the audience's viewpoint. After Yumeko rescues him from being a class pet, he follows her around like a little lost puppy (ironic, isn't it?).
And while Ryota does have an arc, it is an arc that, like the curvature of the Earth, is barely registered to the viewer's eyes.
Other support characters, such as Mary and (later) Itsuki, are even more forgettable.
Yumeko's opponents, however, tend to leave a more permanent impression. The student council is made up of the kind of rogues' gallery you would expect to find in a shounen anime. Each one has their own special skills and poses a unique threat. It is a genuine treat to see each one of them taken down.
But then There's the Panda Ring
Every now and then, Kakegurui takes time away from being a legitimately interesting show to do something shallow and stupid.
I am talking about the way the show tries to pander sexually implicit imagery to the viewer.
In the show's opening and closing sequences, as well as in several episodes, the animators pose the academy's schoolgirls in highly flattering positions.
Any follower of this blog knows that I am not fond of this kind of pandering. And it is even more infuriating in Kakegurui because it has literally no reason to be there. None of the show's storylines are at all sexual. The characters never actually have sex or even get involved with each other. Kakegurui is a series without romantic subplots (an astonishing rarity), yet it wastes the viewer's time with implicit sexual posturing that serves no purpose whatsoever, other than to use as a marketing gimmick.
I am not fond of fetishising characters, but if you must do it then at least make it relevant to the plot!
This is, by far, the biggest strike against the series. And if these shots were subtracted from the runtime, the show would be better off for it.
One Redeeming Quality: the Games
There is, however, one area where Kakegurui lets its creative chutzpah shine, and that is in the gambling itself.
The show is not content to merely use existing games from the real world. At Hyakkou Academy, gambling is a way of life, and one way students show their chops is to invent new games with which to challenge each other.
The series introduces a host of made-up games, all of which could be played in real life. Many of them are fresh takes on old favorites, such as poker, concentration, or, in one extreme case, Russian roulette.
That the show puts so much creativity into inventing new forms of gambling demonstrates that it was written by a great intellect. To have that intellectual appeal interrupted so often by pandering is my primary gripe with the series.
My Judgment
Disappointing.
Under different circumstances, Kakegurui could have become one of my top five animes. That it wastes so much potential is reason enough to keep me from watching it again.
Yet the drama, intellect, and high stakes of the shows story are certainly attention grabbing. They would also be worthy of emulation for those wishing to write a story about the insane world of high-stakes gambling.
It is on Netflix right now, if you can stomach it. Otherwise, you may just want to fold, cash in your chips, and go home.
The February 2018 issue of Kadokawa's *Young Ace magazine concluded Homura Kawamoto and Kamon Ohba's Isekai Hōtei: Rebuttal Barrister manga on Thursday. The third and final compiled volume will ship on February 2, 2018.
Writer Kawamoto (Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler) and artist Ohba launched the Isekai Hōtei: Rebuttal Barrister manga in Young Ace magazine in August 2016. The story follows a young man who wants to be a lawyer, but is brought to another world following a certain accident. He gets his wish anyway, and becomes a lawyer in the other world, but he is bewildered by the different values of this new world's nobles and commoners.
Kawamoto and artist Tōru Naomura's Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler manga launched in Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine in March 2014. Square Enix published the eighth compiled book volume on August 22 and will publish the ninth compiled volume on January 27, 2018. The manga inspired a television anime series that ran from July to September in Japan. The series will premiere outside of Japan on Netflix in 2018. A live-action adaptation is slated to premiere in Japan on January 14, 2018.
So, there’s this gambling den where people risk their future. Money is power in capitalism and the more you have the more powerful you become. Ok, it makes sense so far.
And then it stops making sense because the gambling den is a freaking high school, where the only thing that is not going on in there is learning. Everybody is acting like a horny lunatic and wants us to accept the educational system is fine with letting its young people become unstable gambling addicts.
The status quo is broken by a transfer student, of course, since that is the only reason to have high schools in modern anime. Instead of having to be creative, you just let the plot write itself by following the exact same formula every single time.
So, they gamble and the first game they play is a rehash from Kaiji, only with no strategy since there is no way to know how many cards of each type there are. Which means it’s all random bullshit. They try to make it sound like there are tactics because everyone is cheating, but it comes down to dumb luck and the horny protagonist finding a wau yo solve everything. Just because!
As much as the theme tries to be an allegory to the materialism of modern life, it fails to prove it by saying it all comes down to a lucky draw. Furthermore, for a gambling series, there is no actual tension, since the only thing that is at stake is money. Fortunes come and go in every episode, and although that seems to be ruining the lives of those who become broke, we never see the effects of it, besides becoming an errand boy for horny bitches in a high school. Woah, what a dreadful life it is to not have money, yet still going to a prestige school and doing a few chores for horny bitches who are probably having sex with you eventually.
If that wasn’t enough, the main girl in the show is so ridiculously rich to the point she doesn’t care how much money she wins or loses, therefore she is not really risking anything. Her objective has nothing to do with making money or making sure you are not going to lose them. The premise is betrayed almost immediately, since everybody gambles because they are addicted to gambling, and not because they risk everything for a better life, like in Kaiji.
The series is eventually fairly one-note. There is not variety in personalities, since everybody is the same closet psychopath. The games differ but play out with the exact same structure without connecting with one another, thus there is not much of a plot. There is not even much of a worthwhile objective. Every character is self-destructive, and has no long-term plans other than cumming in his underwear while gambling. It gets tiresome and cringy very fast.
Many try to defend the show as a psychological thriller and a character study, by making it sound like it’s all about the effects of gambling on rich people, as well as how the whole thing is a social experiment aiming to create a new breed of super humans. There is some of that present but it’s overshadowed by the constant ahegao faces everyone is making while playing these random games. It’s almost entirely a shitty ecchi series about people getting orgasms while gambling and the animation makes sure to point that out every 10 seconds. It’s sleazy fetishism with little to no substance, and those claiming it’s more than that, do it for the sole purpose of making it sound like the deviant crap they are watching are intellectual masterpieces.
Rewatch Kaiji and don’t even bother with this one.
Final look ⭐😺
That's it guys that was all far today's post I hope you guys would like it and enjoy the whole process don't forget to give your suggestions below as well as I am always curious about others fan arts don't forget to tell what should I draw next time see you next time.
