I know, but I meant Ryouta. Although I may be wrong because the adaptation made him a narrator.


In the manga he is just the same he is only a MC on paper while Yumeko is the main protag and Mary the second MC of the series. all he does is do the narration and the commentary and give the 2 main girls support some times.


He is only necessary as Audience Surrogate and that the main characters do not look too crazy? Well, I suspected something like that.

Well, Yumeko does not look like a girl who is interested in this. Or rather, who is interested in guys :D But still I'm scared to imaged her as a wife or mother.

xD

It can look like this at times in this series when it comes to certain characters, even though this isn't yuri or anything like that.


You can't ignore the strong subtext between the to main girls thought.

Well, the artist of this series already wrote his own yuri work, so I would not be surprised. Another thing, Ryouta there is clearly a romantic runner up :D However, surrounded by these girls is not so scary.

Wow, this episode was pretty good! The insane personalities along with the very detailed and over-the-top crazy expressions remind me of Death Note. I loved it there and I love it here.

I was never really that interested in gambling series and this is the first one I've been in anime-wise, but I think I'll be sticking to this anime, and it's getting me interested in reading the manga. :D

Wait... so it's like she's building a harem?

Normally it's the guy building a harem full of girls, but it's the girl building that exact harem, basically? I don't remember seeing that before. That's new to me. Haha.

Nah no harem it's like this she likes to flirt with one girl and another girl likes to flirt with her but she doesn't flirt back to them. because her interest lies only in that one girl.

Well, I do not mind, as long as it's also insanely fun and absurd. Although initially for some reason it seemed to me that there was something between Mari and Ryouta.

I don't think that sort of normal romance would work in a world practically overflowing with madness and girls getting turned on by card games and money.

Not to say that last part doesn't happen in real life xD

The "normal" is keyword: D. It's scary to imagine what Jabami considers risky in a sexual life, for example. However, it's still good that she does not have a brother, in contrast to her "magical" twin sister from Mahouka.

In my opinion, definitely one of the best shows airing thus far. Most of the characters so far save for the generic feeling male mc are likeable despite their craziness and the show keeps me on my toes even though I expect Yumeko to win anyway lol Saotome is pretty dumb and she dug her grave deeper but I do feel bad for her and hope she comes out of if lol I also like the weird fingernail girl and felt bad for her when she had her little breakdown - hope she becomes a recurring character And can't wait for the next episode.

What "what-if" scenario? I don't understand that.

She would have lost or had a chance at losing if Sumeragi didn't use the same pattern again. She already noticed the pattern and acted like she didn't, but she didn't think that she'd use the same card patterns until she noticed them in the second deck.

Oh well. Shame you dropped it even though it's only been two episodes.

"Hey... what if there was a highschool full of gamblers... wouldn't that be sooo cool?"
That's what I label a lazy "what-if" scenario. No sane Western writer would pick up such a BS idea which probably originated in a jolly mood tops. But hey, it's Japan, it's manga/anime, they dig any shit, so let's go for it.

Also, why should I continue to watch? Will anything change? She'll climb her way up to the student council, outwit all their BS cheating on her way. Maybe she will face a real crisis once (doubt it), but yeah, that's about it. Pseudo-clever minigames w/ hex comebacks and oh so insane rape faces. Yawn. Case closed.


Oh, so that's what you meant by a "what-if" scenario. Alright then.

Hey, that's totally fine if you want to hate and drop it, and I can understand how you feel why. Not like I was trying to persuade you to keep going or anything. I was just saying that it's a shame that you were already disappointed with it. Only two episodes in and you already hate it, which is too bad.. It probably would have changed for the better for you if you did continue to watch it, but it probably won't as well, and it's fine to not wanna risk or waste anymore of your time with it just so you can see if it probably does.

Initially I wasn't that keen on Jabami's over the top craziness, but now I find her character shifts are done rather well, along with Ryouta's genuine fright when they occur.

One thing I noticed, is that Jabami did feel genuine sympathy for Saotome when she was bullied, and she didn't actually take more money from Sumeragi than she'd lost in the first match. She also didn't cash in on Saotome's debt; she seems to be putting people on their spot without trying to take advantage of them or make them suffer.

If I had to point out one flaw, it's that all established players at the academy so far, are downright cheating. Together with Jabami's justice, it becomes more of a detective show, than one about gambling.

Jabami is the craziest one out there in that academy, and Ryouta the sanest, so actually it woudln't be that weird for them to be attracted to eachother. Ryouta is also the only one safe from Jabami, while to Jabami he is the only one that was never agressive to her.

Trash is trash. A highschool full of gamblers... another lazy predictable "what-if" scenario which doesn't make any sense at all. I can only shake my head about this ridiculous over-the-top reactions. Also, the cheating is annoying. Plus the typical NGNL twist - "onoooz looks like I'm losing..... jk, I don't!". Dropped.

yeah, i noticed this. i think maybe she hates seeing unfairness, and will use her own cunning to correct cheaters and bullies. (i feel like we might get a Sad Backstory about why she had to become this way lol... probably something about her dad being blackmailed or something.)

"without making them suffer" oh... i don't know about that part. :P she seems to take genuine enjoyment out of mentally torturing people haha. but i don't think she'd go overboard either; just do as much as she thinks they deserve to learn their lesson.

some people seem to think she's just a typical cookie cutter yandere and maybe she is on the surface, but when you stop to think about it she's actually a pretty interesting character :)

i 100% think next episode she's going to play to erase blondie's debt. (and then she'll probably end up as part of her 'crew' like the guy did lol)

True, I guess worded it poorly, but she doesn't want to inflict genuine physical or financial damage, just a bit of mental terror :P

this first year on the other hand i can say that that's what happens when you cheat with no skill!, all the nails stuff full on cringe i can't handle the thought of stuff like that good thing it didn't come down to any nail ripping

That's a shame, especially when it has been only two episodes, but also can understand how it doesn't appeal to you. Sometimes it only takes so little to get someone to already have a prediction if it'll get any better or not towards their liking. I would say for you to give it at least one more episode, but it's fine to drop it here already too.

The first game was better. This relied too much on Jabami being OP with her memory, and I suppose the 'luck' factor here was that her opponent didn't use a different set of patterns.

That said, had her opponent used a different set of patterns, I would have complained that her opponent has OP memory.

Ah, poor Mary ... started off bad for her this episode and ended up even worse :P I'm not nearly perceptive enough to notice marked cards, but yeah, it IS pretty silly of Izumi (I think her name is?) to use marked cards to cheat, especially if she's advertising. I guess it's expected she'd win if she did that, but man, nobody plays fair and square in this show huh?! That'd make things more legit IMO :P Anyway so Yumeko wins again ... I does hope she loses, but now it seems like her memorization is OP XD Student council starts to get involved though, I bet that's gonna be REALLY interesting. Especially since it seems like the blind (?) kimono lady is part of them ... guess we'll have to see :P

In my opinion this episode was better then the 1st and that is good news. I like the feeling of psycho game .As far as I see the games will become more and more dangerous .
When Sumeragi said she collects real human nails I automaticly started to think about Higurashi and I may say she is my best girl for this season till now.
Only one think will hurt on this series if the pessing of every episode stay like ; Jabami start game with someone then Jabami play like she is losing and then she win.If she really start to feel fear or not be like mastermind maybe will be better. But I am ok with she being mastermind this remind me of One Outs especially Tokuchi (He is crazy and I love him for that!)

can't wait for episode 3..Jabami's probably gonna dominate every one including student council...but I think it would be lame if MC girl Jamabi is too OP...her match would be of course the student council pres voiced by the glorious Sawashiro Miyuki!
5/5.
