Oh god this was better than I expected. All around the best of the season so far. Jabami went in like crazy and won cause she got lucky. It really felt intense watching them gamble. And of course, the faces.

Those faces were so gross that it's just pure beauty at the same time. I love seeing them make those creepy faces. The OP and ED were awesome too!
Ass, tits and gambling. What could be better than that?

MAPPA really brought their A+ game for this 1st episode. Fav of the season so far, can't wait for the next episode.

Yumeko's the MC. The guy will appear often as an observer and a friend to Yumeko, but all the focus is on her. The story is mostly about her matches against the members of the student council.

Good visuals, good directing, good freaky faces, thrilling game, good explanation, good MC, good OP!

Off to a good start, hopefully the male dude doesn't get too annoying in the future.

This is one of my favourite mangas so I was really looking forward to the anime but.. what's up with this animation? it looks... weird. And I'm talking about Yumeko in particular. WHAT IS THIS???


Apart from her I like the other character's design, they nailed the crazy faces and that is super important to me. The OP and ED are amazing!! I love it <33 the art there is great!!!
I can't wait for the next ep <3

Also did you guys liked the seiyuu? I was not a fan during the first couple of min because her voice was so... cute? I always imagine her having a (little bit) more deep voice? but she nailed the voice in the "crazy gambler" scenes <33

This was very interesting.

I haven't watched anything like this before.

I actually kinda like this ruthless and cunning nature the characters have when it comes to this kind of gambling.

Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Best OP and faces of the season; jazz is always welcome. There's a lot of story potential with the gambling school premise. I look forward to seeing how they utilize it. The art style and atmosphere reminds me of the second Mardock Scramble movie. The animation is a little stiff, but I can get used to it.

5/5

Decent start. The series gets plus points for the ridiculous edge faces^^ Besides that it reminds me of Kaiji, especially with that restricted rock paper scissors game. Hopefully it delivers in future episodes.

YAY first new anime of Summer 2017 for me.
Crazy & fun first episode. OP song is alright. Lot of emphasis on the legs & the ED song is good. Quite catchy. Jabami is looking good. Character designs are great.

This school is crazy. Money is everything. The facial expression's are crazy & insane. Saori Hayami sounds amazing as Jabami. So damn crazy & insane. Those eyes are scary as hell. She owned Saotome even when the majority was against her. She is good at reading the situation.

Looking forward to more.

It had some issues, the animation was a bit inconsistant, and with the faster pacing I feel they skipped some scenes (mainly inner monologues).

That said, it was mostly very good, and I am really glad to see my favorite recent manga being animated.

Hayami Saori is perfect as Yumeko, and Meari's VA made a great job as well!

Maximum edge, I like it. Looks like MAPPA is making Jabami the waifu of the Summer 2017 run. And to think, this is just 1 of like 4 shows that MAPPA will have airing. We already have Virgin Soul as a spring leftover. Damn, they doin' things. Also, Jabami with her ahegaos is gonna be the meme of this season.
Don't believe the hype.

4/5- Yumeko is the best and I can't wait for the world to see how insane this character is. Facial expressions were awesome. Gambling was already fun but when the stakes are much higher, it's an overwhelming joy. The OP visuals are kinda "wtf" but I did enjoy the music.

I was stoked after reading the manga. The facial expressions in the manga feels more detailed than the anime but it's still great. My only complaint about that is how much bigger the lips are compared to the manga but I'm going off my memory.

I was a bit worried about Saori Hayami voicing Yumeko considering she normally plays the quiet and soft spoken types (Yukino Yukinoshita and Urara Shiraishi) but she did a pretty good job as Yumeko. I also like Mary's VA as well.

It's awesome to see Yumeko and Mary animated. I also can't wait for....

This was worth the wait. Definitely a candidate for the AOTS, well at least the opening will probably be the best one in terms of visuals.

The episode itself was highly enjoyable, liked the RPS game and of course dem awesome facial expressions, I think that aspect alone will make this show a good experience.

On the poll I gave it an "It was OK" rating. That being said this was due to a weak introduction of characters and the school itself. It has an interesting premise and I am sure this is one of those anime that will gradually get better with each coming episode.

I like the MC, (that's the black haired girl) and the apparent (so far) antagonist (blonde pigtail).

Hoping for the anime to breathe more "life" into the characters and school itself. As well as more interesting plot development and activities in which they interact, variety basically.

As for me, this ain't gonna be one of the gems of the season sadly, but still above average

Honestly, it doesn't get old and that's mostly thanks to the different personalities of the characters and the games getting more crazy. At least it hasn't gotten old yet in the manga.

This was a good adaptation tho, I was grinning like an idiot while watching it even though I knew what would happen.

Fun stuff. But if money is no object for Jabroni, what are the stakes? Guess losing would be enough to devastate her based on her reactions.

Okay, pretty good animation and story also the "Psychological" is the element I like most (not to mention their uniform instantly remind me for Umineko Anime). But if the game they're playing until later is just Poker, which the element I don't really understand with... Maybe I'll pass, but guess I'll consider it until next week.

He's only there so that the viewers have a character that they can see the events of the story through. He's quite useless, and even if he didn't exist, the story wouldn't be much different.

Hopefully this series will become more like Kaiji later where the games are fucked up and insane as well as the people. Honestly though, the overexaggerated Higurashi faces kinda take away the tension, in Kaiji they were able to portray the evilness of the villains through their words and actions alone. Though I still had fun with this episode, looking forward to the next.

While the episode was obvious based on how it went on the gambling with few exceptions of it, the way it was directed towards the execution of it was utter chills down my spine. Also I really don't like Mary but she got mayor cucked hard in this episode.

I love Jabami so much so far xD such nice but then sadistic.

Awesome start, that was really entertaining.

OP is real classy. xD

I absolutely love Yumeno, she's got has this elegant charm but with a crazy streak in her and the way she wrecked Mary was epic. That taunting after she won with the 'Hai?' was savage as hell. Not to mention those eye shots and those savage faces, epic. I honestly love the eyes, Yumeno's especially. XD

This show is gonna be a real entertainer for the rest of this season.

Also, Hayami Saori nailed her performance. Props to her.

Looking forward to more.

Great start, a good way to introduce the premise and show us a preview of the art style. Not particularly a mind blowing start, but shows lots and lots of potential.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Holy craaap! This was the purest definition of edge just as I predicted!
Okay, I get this anime isn't meant to be taken seriously, but if you're trying to make me feel, "thrilled"...you're gonna fail with expressions more trie-hard than Akame ga Kill.
And God, if those weren't bad enough, Main Girl gets horny from gambling...are you serious?
To top it off, this ep straight-up insulted my intelligence.
