I miss that series so much. <3Wow, a lot of promise in that one episode. Everyone's gushing about the OP, which was gorgeous, but did they forget about two other things?
I do, however, look forward to the next episode. Fun fact: I only heard about this adaptation only after I have caught up with the manga. Talk about shock value. .... that is all I really wanted to comment about. The Advance Wars thing. lol I wanted to PM you the comment since it's off-topic here, but I was not allowed to send you PMs, so yeah. |
 |
| well hated the op ...but I liked the manga better somehow...but so far so good I guess...ending was awesome |
 |
| The animation is.....eh, but it does have style. I still like the manga much more. The voices are fitting, although a bit different than I imagined. The OP and ED are fun as well. |
| That was without a doubt quite an interesting start so far, especially a nice way to start the season, since this is my first Summer show. I'm liking it so far. Those faces are sure something though, lmao. VAs are doing a nice job as well, especially Saori. That switch to one insane girl was great, lol. |
  |
| This one is weird, but original and interesting. I like it, everyone is insane. Also, best girl. |

LoneWolf said: So pretty much it's Kaiji, but without the things that made Kaiji unique. MC is a limp dick doormat. Generic character designs that makes it look like every other anime. To be fair they do have slightly more detail than the typical blobs that pass for character models nowadays. Set in highschool... because of every anime needs to be set in highschool, gotta confirm that those girls are indeed underage and of course the "main character" who is actually just a projection of the emasculated yet horny viewer base takes a back seat to kawai animu grilz... with really creepy facial expressions. Sounds like a pretty good time. Also the music isn't bad. This. Despite the fact that both shows revolves around gambling, Kakegurui executes it's premise in a generic way. Plus: There are no ZAWA ZAWA. |
| Pretty decent start, the episode felt so quick, probably with how much intense it was. Though you could tell the animation was lacking in a few scenes but otherwise. |
 |
| Ahhh that was epic! The art, the music and fun while watching it! It might be anime of the season. Im callin it right now |
 |
| Quite an underwhelming trick for the first episode but Jabami's idiosyncratic views amazed me well. And a very colorful OP, watching it twice per episode is worth it I think. XD |
 |
| Well, this was umm... kinda.... interesting, I guess. I definitely like the style and the animation of this show. Facial expressions of characters are really interesting to watch and they add some sort of intensity to the scenes. The gambling looks pretty intense too, I like it. OP wasn't my cup of tea in terms of a song but the visuals are f*cking amazing and really trippy. Overall, I am interesting so far, and definitely can see where the hype comes from. I hope that this will continue to be a good show. Good start. |

| I have mixed feelings. The art style is creepy and makes me uneasy lol. It was a somewhat interesting episode but I feel like this would work better if it wasn't set in high school (seriously, why does everything have to be during that period?). Also I don't understand the compulsion to write whiny male characters who are dominated by abusive women. This is neither funny nor cute, but I imagine for some reason folks project themselves on the MC. Like I said, I find this abusive and it is a bit sad how it gets brushed off just because it's from a girl to a boy and not the other way around. It's all very Kangoku Gakuen-esque. Naturally, I was happy to see the blondie get humiliated after her conceited attitude. Tbh, the thing that bothers me the most must be how seriously the show takes itself for what it is. I said this before but this really doesn't go hand in hand with high school students. As a result, to me the whole thing seems kind of ridiculous. I guess I'll sit around for a few couple of eps before deciding what to do. |

| That black-haired girl is so cool lol, I love characters who are cute on the outside but insane on the inside This should be an interesting watch, it's so suspenseful |

Naturally, I was happy to see the blondie get humiliated after her conceited attitude. I REALLY don't understand comments like this. Just because a main male character is being dominated by a female doesn't mean that it only happens to him or males in general. As you would have seen if you looked a bit close, Saotome has both male AND female slaves, or house pets, and all of them showed great fear, hesitation, or weak wills when called out by Yumeko. One of them happens to be a main character and is male. That's it. Not to mention that if you looked at the OP, you'll see a male that is at a high rank or sitting as well. Pretty much looks like the one dominating as well. I swear that people cannot win when it comes to doing this sort of thing in their works. Whether it's showing this or if it does it the other way around (that being male dominating a weak-willed main female. Hell, I'm pretty sure it'd be called out as very bad a LOT more), no one wins. :/ Does it really matter? This is reprehensible regardless of the abuser's sex. I didn't notice that there were female slaves too as you pointed out but I was talking about the MC because well, he is the MC and that's where the show drew attention to. I just said that there's a pattern since I have noticed this specific tendency in other series too. This is simply a personal observation which hinders my enjoyment, I am definitely not intent on calling this 'problematic' or spoiling the fun for you guys who might have enjoyed this more than me. And from what I've seen the show is not meant to depict this in a positive light as they had done in Prison School, because the blonde girl got what she deserved in the end for her awful behavior. |
| Great first episode..and that OP lol. |
| Mappa with another hit. I love the faces and now found another blonde waifu~ |
  |
| Well it was cool but im not that exited as these kinds of hyped will go down really fast. The most interesting part imo? That guy and his luck for getting to know the snake, so for his sake at least im gonna continue this. |
| It was, well. Very interesting. I'm looking forward for more! THAT OP and OP/ED song. Wow! |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
1idd0kun said: Danae said: I was talking about the MC because well, he is the MC and that's where the show drew attention to. Yumeko's the MC, and the show draws all the attention to her. If it wasn't obvious in this episode, it's gonna be more and more obvious going forward. I promise. And don't compare this to Prison School. This is a gambling show, every episode is gonna be a game with one of the members of the student council, and the one challenging them is Yumeko. All the focus is on this without fail. Suzui is just a supporting character. Oh that's good to know! Yumeko seems pretty interesting and mysterious. I just compared one aspect, I didn't mean to imply that these shows are generally similar. You appear to have read the manga so you must know better than me. |
| Man, that ending song was gorgeous! The drawings are weird at some points, not because of the exaggerated faces, but sometimes they look derpy. |
| Well it's pretty obvious why meari acted that way towards the protagonist giving "special" treatment being a pet. |
| Ok I guess. But the Opening was a bit random. |
| I was so waiting for this anime, and I'm so glad it delivered. The manga is awesome, would only be natural the anime would be on par. |
| I know it's a little biased, but when it comes to Hayami Saori's seiyuu works, it's an instant watch from me. And damn, this show did not disappoint me in terms of the aspects of gambling, since I gambled once myself. PS. That OP and ED is lit. |

ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |

|
| Best seiyuu best girl. |
 |
| So far its off to a good start and I am absolutely loving this so far! I like the expressions, and I have fallen in love with Yumeko! Can't wait until the next episode~ |
| Wow I didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I did, sure it's not the best but I'm just gonna watch it for what it is and enjoy the ride. I love Jabami already,, ugh I'm weak,, Also what I got from the OP was gambling lesbians and I am down 100% lmao |
 |
| For the 1st time in my long anime life I have found a waifu |
| Those faces are a thing to look forward to |
| When she started talking about how capitalism preys on the weak... best girl already. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| I was also getting Prison School vibes. A solid start to an interesting anime, I did find it slightly cheesy in places and its trying very hard to be cool. |
yuliyana29 said: Don't see the need for those creepy facial expressions. Just makes think the girls are some sort of psycho-sadistic bitches out of a hardcore hentai. But that what made the manga so popular in Japan so the anime did need it for it to be a perfect adaption. and the girls are psychopath's and sociopaths addicted to gambling :D |

| They nailed the feeling of gambling down PERFECTLY. Being someone who has gambled in Public and Private places there is seriously no better feeling then a crazy bet. They freaking nailed it. The animation was flawless, and Saori...my god Saori was beyond flawless, she was PERFECT! The MC is kind of trash but hopefully he gets better. My god though what a great first episode. |
