Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Hakairoku-hen

Whoever loves , suspense, mindtricks and gambling with life at stake, will like the chills in these both animes 

These two anime are both about gambling. Kakegurui is a liitle more unrealistic and with kaiji you can feel the tension build up. Kaji is a little slow paced but that doesn't mean it's bad. so if you like gambling I recommend these two anime 

Kaiji is similar to Kakegurui in the sense that gambling is a central theme throughout both of the shows. While both shows take gambling to an extreme, I found Kaiji to be a much more realistic (and tragic) show, at least in terms of characters and overall situation. There is also much less fanservice in Kaiji, so you don't have to worry about who walks in the room when watching this show. 

The similarity between these two anime can be explained in an extremely simple manner. They give the same feeling when you watch them. They give the same rush the same thrill. The need to watch the next episode. The need to watch more. The same level of enjoyment. They are both series based on intelligence, risk and reward. 

This is one of the animes that helped me fill the void after finishing Death Note, it is very intense and contains a lot of mind games. Art style is very unique and it might take a minute to get used to it, but it has it's own charm and I even started liking it after some time 

Both have a psychological aproach to characters. Both have a smart main character, but maybe Tokuchi is more godly like smart. Both are seinen. 

both anime based on gambling games , both series have that brilliant character that try to survive with gambling  

The first arc of Rainbow is nearly identical to the first arc in Kaiji S2, seriously just compare the two. The first arc of Rainbow showcases the lives of 7 teenagers in prison as they are mentally and physically abused, where they become reliant on each over for the support to help push through the depression. On the other hand, the first arc of Kaiji S2 involves Kaiji forced into an underground labour camp where he gets mentally abused and struggles to find happiness and a way to freedom. From which, he meets a group of friend where they each work together and support each other as Kaiji orchestrates a possible way to escape the depression. If your someone who loves stories of brotherhood you'll love both anime. read more 

Both anime series follows the same style and involves Nobuyuki Fukumoto, who is the author & director of the adapted series. Hence, they both have very similar themes mainly involved with gambling. The artwork are very similar if not the same for both anime series; same anime production studio Madhouse is involved. Both anime series also plays on the psychological factors of the various gambling matches. The main male protagonist seems to be an intellectual individual who tries to stay ahead of the game. There is strategies involved in their games and thus creates tension every episode.
