Considering what we know about Mary from the parent story, I'd say this feels more like an alternative prequel, Mary feels different from what we get in the beginning of Kakegurui, there are a lot of new characters that didn't show up in Kakegurui, so an alternative makes more sense than being a real prequel, but let's see, I haven't read the manga.

It's finally here. Saotome's time to shine and as expected she's awesome as always. The new girl alongside Mary is cute as well. Loved that they kept the same energy as the original. Also, the OP and ED are really well done especially the ED. Good start.

First episode felt a bit rushed. The whole Aiura gamble got skimmed over, as did Mary's introduction to the school.

Guess they skimmed over some of the content because they want to get to the later content faster, and also because Aiura's gamble against Mary was quite similar to what happens between Yumeko and Mary in the main shows first episode. The shows pacing does get better in the later episodes so it's not too big a deal

You really have to wonder where are the parents of these psycho lesbians

and the ending looks like some kind of animated mv for some pop group

Kakegurui without Yumeko is like pizza without cheese. Hard pass.

Really disappointed at how they skipped so much of the beginning of the manga. This is probably gonna be a rushed series.

Also, Tsuzura is too cute and innocent for the harsh world of Hyakkaou. She sounds and acts pretty much exactly how I expected.

And that exaggerated leg cross by Juraku was amazing lol

I hate the visual style of the anime. It feels unnecessarily dark, and color palette is so nauseating. Character designs are also subpar in comparison to the manga. Why did they make Mary look like Ayanokoji from the Classroom of Elite?

But I really liked the opening and ending. They feel so different from the anime. The ending also got the colors and character designs right. I can't understand how AOT s04 and s05 director and Jigokuraku director could fuck up so miserably. I hope Jigokuraku would be a good adaptation.

I'd let Juraka Sachiko step on me, shit on me, pee on me, puke on me, torture me, obliterate me, kill my wife, children, family members in order to get one fucking whiff off her.

With Yumeko basically outshining Mary in the parent story, it’s truly a sight to see her take the center stage and do her own thing here in the prequel.

Blue-haired girl was cute tho.

I really disliked how they just skipped over the first gamble. I thought it was a good start to the manga.

But still, I forgot how awesome animated Kakegurui is.The energy that this show radiates is as enjoyable as ever. I could listen to these girls threatening and mocking each other all day long. I imagined Mikuras voice differentely, but I'll probably get used to it. Sachiko and Tsuzura are well done, but the shining star for me is Yukimi. Her voice is top notch!

I look forward to seeing Midari again next episode!

funny after the 2nd season of Kakegurui came and went so quickly i was hard press to care about a prequel spin off but i enjoyed the first episode old prez seems way worse than the current one sheesh ,surprised to hear stuff was rushed but maybe that explains the batch of 6episode/ besides netflix being netflix Mappa is quite busy as usual

though mary is fine as a character despite being overshadowed quite heavily in the main series so this feels like watching dragon ball z without goku but instead you get krillin

Also did sumbuddy notice in the first seconds when Hanatemari (the blue haired grill) was explaining about Saotomé and the animation art style was similar to Disney's as in Star vs The Forces of Evil or sumting? It's a Disney-like chibi art style but I am afraid I've seen this in some other anime too, can't recall. Chibi Saotomé really loks like Star Butterfly lol.

As I haven't read, it feels like a normal movie split into 6 parts. Glad the manga have more detail as I'm looking for reading the manga after 1've watched it all hehe...

Well, the whole kakegurui bull is still there. A little?

I wanna see how this rebellion turns out. It fits Mary, but not really Kakegurui. Let's see how Mary's story goes.

God I wish that was me being abused and choked out by Sachiko.. I’m guessing blue haired girl either gets expelled or transfers after this because she’s not present in the OG

Love how mikura had to look down to check if she’d wet herself because of how horny she was lmao

2 rushed recaps in the space of about five minutes? Garbage. Dropped, and the original while I'm at it.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

Way past the 1st ep, but this spin-off is what I've been needin. Mary is queen!

Hearing Yuuko as Juraku is too much for my body.

Pretty nice beginning for the Saotome spin-off, that other girl who became her friend doesn't seem that good but the dice game had some interesting tricks as always... now it's up to how much annoying Juraku will continue to be for them, I felt bad for the glasses girl though she's the true victim of the story

Man, I almost forgot how hot most of the girls in this series are.

Solid start. Mary is the only character I genuinely like in Kakegurui so I can already say I'm gonna have a great time with this spin-off.

ED is great, by the way.

It was a bit unfortunate that they skipped over the first introduction stuff from the manga.

ED was really good though.

Overall I'm a simple guy and just enjoy anything I watch, so I don't have any picky opinions or complains. I'm just hyped for more Kakegurui.

"She's my dream girl." Love Tsuzura lol. She's like Kanako from Maria Holic, only here to find a girlfriend. Though, not sure getting one at this psycho school is a good idea...

LMAO exactly. Her english dub voice is so good and fits her perfectly. Just checked and, of course, it's Amber Lee Conners, which explains why it's good.

This is actually a refreshing departure from the main series. I'm going to miss Yumeko's high stakes orgies, but Mary is my personal fav & I love how even at this point, she's still so cheeky & smug. The ED is amazing and feels like a legit music video. I found myself so bewitched as these sirens lure me into yet another sweet taste of this decadent indulgence.

What a tamed that Mary hit. The white hair girl won't have it easy to make Mary her mascot.

Its always nice seeing Mary Saotome. I have high hopes for this show centered around her since shes my favourite character, this first episode was solid i cant wait for more.

I like seeing Mary before the main show she seems so much "Happier" if thats the word im looking for idk, but she just seems like shes doing better than season one Mary.
