| A very promising start. Glad I decided to check this out. The expressions and money amount are just a tad unrealistic, but I'll chalk it up to dramatization. No complaints really as long as the psychological drama itself is up to par. |
| Enjoyed this a lot even though it was over the top and non sensical. Didn't think the mind games and stuff were all that spectacular or anything (if compared to some of the other gambling stuff I've watched) but I loved that blonde being owned. Also really didn't expect Hayami Saori in such a role and I must say she pulled it off quite well, beyond my expectations. 4/5 |

| Don't know how I feel about this one yet. The first thing I saw about it was just the OP. And I thought the animation looked crazy. Like something out of Shaft. Little disappointed by the actual animation though. Some fun facial expressions. But it was kind of drab and dark visually. And has a lot of lazy looking shots. Especially for a premiere where most anime go balls out. Surprised this was Mappa. Not just because of that but all the rampant fan service. Kind of expected something very different from what we got here. Still I have hopes for it. Lot of unknowns in the voice cast but some great seiyuu too. I think if the characters get more development this could be a pretty compelling series. If nothing else though I'll keep watching it if they keep coming up with stupid card games. That Janken Pon game was pretty silly. But interesting nonetheless. I'm definitely riding this out for a bit. |

| It's creepy! It's dark! It's twisted! It's a strange anime...and I like it! I have heard nothing but great things about the manga over the past few months and I like many others had high expectations for the anime and it delivered with its unique art style concept and execution. I very much look forward to the prospect of this becoming a hit sensation and an overall great anime! BTW Jabami is my brand new YANDERE AF Waifu! |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| That was amazing :o !! |
| Omg first episode is a 9 out of 10 from me |
 |
| I liked the first ep and hope they won't get heavy on fanservice. Looking forward femdom scenes (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄) |

| This is the kind of trashy but fun anime i can enjoy it's so ridiculous and shouldn't be taken remotely seriously lol all those faces were both crazy af and funny like any of the girls just doing a 180* within a split second guess that's a metaphor for them showing their ugly side while gambling with a little anime dramatic touch :P Kaiji+ prison school closest thing i could come up with i'm down for some gambling mindfuckery hopefully it delivers on that aspect would even be fine without the lewdness MAPPA made some both terrifying and beautiful animation with this one. also Netflix stop being jerks taking away my animu was wondering where this show and fate were |
 |
| Not sure how I feel about watching an anime full of bi-polar gambling addicts/school girls... They really went all out in the opening episode. I know the facial expressions are intended to be funny but all they made me do was cringe + shit my pants lmao. ---> No idea what the fuck I just watched. The ED just shows how the "school" setting is just a facade for a messed up plotline. |

| I was highly anticipating it and it didn't disappoint me at all. The story was fun, the art style looked nice, the OP and ED were good. I had fun watching it. One thing I noticed was how similar the main character looks to Celestia Ludenberg from Danganronpa which is funny because Celestia is known as the Ultimate Gambler :D   |
| That was an awesome first episode I'd say... though maybe it's just the hormones talking. I'm reading through the manga and I was looking forward to this, it sure delivered (even though I more or less know what to expect). You'd know this one is really meant for the mature demographic and the show makes it known unashamedly. Looking forward to the rest this season. |
 |
| Got me hooked real good |
 |
| What a timing! I was going to read the manga but now I dont have to anymore! Nice job MAPPA. (I dont really like manga when I can instead watch anime. Call me weird) |

| Madness , Craziness , Smartness , EVERYTHING'S combined in this anime can't find the words to describe it it's seriously indescribable and just magnificent and so intriguing and thrilling my heart couldn't stop beating it's EPIC literally E.P.I.C ... The art is fantastic and the expression are very conspicuous and that's what makes this anime more interesting and the characters are something else , Yumeko was like " Yea i am very cute and peaceful i don't know anything about savageness or Madness " but then SUDDENLY she showed that EVIL but BADASS face and i was like ^" WOAH WTF JUST HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL ???!!! "^ but that doesn't matter she's still cute to me and ofc she entered the BADASS characters list for me yet she's so kind with the MC tho i didn't like him very much he's so plain and he doesn't stand out at all , I hope they make him a big deal in the upcoming episodes and let's just wait for it , It's really something else this anime and i'm really glad they made it and i'm SO FUCKING READY FOR MORE I CAN'T DESCRIBE MY HYPE FFS >.< >.< , LOOKING FORWARD !!!! |
| Who'd have thought this adaptation would be so well produced. I'm pretty impressed with everything I've seen so far. Yumeko's voice is so much cuter than I imagined in my head. I like it though. |

| Reminds me most of One Outs. Feels like it could get a bit stale, but hopefully not. Depends on how compelling the character interactions are outside of the gambling. |
 |
| OMG! such a great 1st episode! this might be a great contender for AOTS for me...heheh those detailed red eyes of Jabami is to badass and scary and intimidating! 5/5! |
 |
| Interesting character, decent episode, shitty OP and the ED is even worse lol |
drakexb said: Is there a reason this anime isn't on crunchyroll? I was looking forward to watching it but I didnt see it on the list. Netflix Japan is streaming it. |
| Jabami must be hell rich, she is very interesting for sure. The pet boy is useless, people should take him off screen. |
 |
| Someone should compile all their gambling faces so that at the end we could compare which ones are the worst best. |
| The facial expressions were so eerie that I applaud it. I also like how they didn't toss aside the fact that luck is still a major factor in gambling. |
| Well, that was ... interesting XD OP and ED were pretty good, definitely liked the ED song better but the OP really fit the crazy theme. Really awesome visuals too! Though in the show, I can't get over the art of their faces XD Pretty interesting intro, showing us Mary, who's used to winning, our poor MC, and Jabami, who is hella loaded and is basically a gambling addict :P Really interesting, looks like the student president is gonna get involved too. Jabami's seiyuu sounds really familiar too, but her going from calm to crazy sounds like two different people :O Anyway gonna watch the second episode, should be fun! :3 |
| That was intense! An interesting way to play rock-paper-scissors. Too bad the entire anime isn't animated in the OP style. ED song was good too. |
  |
| Damn, the adaptation is just perfect! I wanted to start the manga for a long time; then I heard it's getting an anime. I'm so glad I started both of them. Also the OST is just amazing! <3 |
 |
| A bit of a forced setting imo, so they should use the characters well to be good A distinctively Hayami voice.. This episode on its own was fairly enjoyable, not sure if I will enjoy the rest though |
| Oooo bitch I don't think I can handle this! |

| It's kind of OK at the moment? The OP is probably going to get annoying and it feels like they're going a bit out of their way to make the girls look vulgar. I don't know anything about the manga, but if this is going to focus on the main girl's descent into addiction, the thrill and inevitable fall that comes with gambling, I'm in. |
| I think they've captured the first chapter of the manga quite well in the first episode. I am not a fan of the OP song but it is quite quirky, maybe something you can enjoy after getting high, the ED song is just okay and a generic Anime song. The animation is pretty good and does remind me a hentai.I'm waiting for them to strip and just fuck, then again, I felt the same way about the manga. Like, just fuck already. Pochi Ryota looks like that lucky guy in a hentai who is not particularly good-looking or has any outstanding qualities but every girl wants to fuck and suck him. I love yandere Yumeko a lot. |
| 臭い- |
| Absolutely loved it, really liked the opening the song, visuals and energy to be the opening to this anime and the ending is Yumeko what is not to love. Episode visuals were fine in the normal scenes but really good during the gambling scenes, especially the faces which stand on their own compared to the manga really well, just seeing those beautiful red eyes of Yumeko in anime form is really awesome. The OST is seriously good can't wait to hear more Technoboys are pretty damn good, really liking this adaptation. |

| I'm at the start of episode 1. Doesn't having 2 rocks mean you have two blockers on rock, thus are incentivized to play Scissors which should have a slightier better EV ? "It's highly possible that rock is the most common card overall" isn't correct on such a low sample (3 cards) ? (assuming no cheats of course, which are obviously happening in this game) |

| Well alright.....seems like a good start. I'm in. |
 |
| Well I don't play cards... Should i continue watching? |

| Great show, great potential. Nicely handled fanservice. The OP is awesome! Art is nice in general, especially the not-so-standard facial emotions. Backgrounds are are bit standard. MC is blend AF, I'm wondering if he will play a greater role or if he is just a blank slate projection surface for the (male) viewer. I also hope it does not go in any harem-ish direction... The game reminded me of Kaiji. |
| Boring and stupid Will give it a few more episodes |
