| Well of course those fanboys would still be fine |
AlliedWishes said: It's one of my most favorites, but I really hope they'll do well with this here. I think this will last only one episode, which makes me worried, especially with notable amount of things they've skipped in this one. Sigh. 12 episodes.. this really should have been 14 or more. I wonder if we're gonna get to see the introduction of the household members. Maybe that'll be the last thing we see in this season. |
| Episode was a bit boring, but the idol ED was pretty good :) Let's see what kind of game Yumeko will be playing next episode... |
| Wow Yumemi might be the first girl to get humbled without having her position toppled. This is such a frustrating show to me. First of all there's plenty I don't like about it. Some of its exceptionally broad characters. Its below what I expect of Mappa animation. I mean the way they animated the idol contest was just really jarring and mediocre. Yumemi's frozen smile as she repeatedly pumps her fist was kind of cringey. And perhaps my most important issue. How disappointingly dumb a lot of the made up gambling games are. All of which were on full display in this episode. But there's still things I really like about the series. I like its philosophy on gambling if nothing else. The pursuit of truly random luck based chance. And I've liked quite a few of the student council members. Yumemi was a surprisingly interesting character. Her very un-moe fan hating side was a different kind of character arc. Her decision to oust glasses boy at the end was interesting in the grander scheme of the hierarchy Yumeko will have to dismantle too. For once some interesting progress on the overarching not week to week plot. And lastly I like the band of misfits that's forming around Yumeko. It was really funny to me when Yumeko pretended to be excited when Maeri was selected in the one contest. Bluffing that she knew her friend's birthday. But then it turns out she didn't know and just guessed. There's all kinds of stuff I like about this series as well. I just wish it outweighed the stuff I didn't a little more. |

| Yumeko even sang! LOL |

MareepYay said: Bit of a shame that they've skipped Yumeko's singing. Also, I was hoping that they would adapt this part of the manga (which happened before even meeting Yumemite): But sadly they didn't, and as far as this has gone, I doubt they will... Makes me wish a bit more that this anime would have had a least one or two more episodes than the total 12 it has been decided to have. Could've helped shown even more as to how determined Yumemite is in her dream. Still, I think this went mostly fine regardless. I still enjoyed the episode. And I must say, even with how much they have skipped from the manga (not in the game. I mean before the game. The game was actually fine for the most part. Mainly that they've noticeably skipped Yumeko singing), I'm impressed that the pacing doesn't feel rushed at all. Everything went smoothly and you still have the main grasp of what is going on. Anyways, I hope the upcoming one is going to do just fine, because it's one of my favorites (plus I like Manyuda, the cunning ass. lol). Wow... that has to be one of the most blunt ways I've seen the sort of thing said, even more hurtful to a child. No wonder she's so determined. Yeah, the anime definitely should have adapted that. |
| Horrible bet...i think if was the worst episode of this seaon, although the epìsode try to show she won by lucky, was a little fool!! |
| I love the ending. Yumeko and Yumemi sang so well. :D |
| Hm, I expected this one to go on a bit longer, we didn't really get to see many of the games :( I didn't expect Yumeko to know Mary's birthday either lol, I guess Yumemi was just overthinking things. Luckily for her she got a happy ending with her fans still supporting her even after the recording was played, and I'm impressed she had the guts to go through with it instead of trying to convince Yumeko to let her get away with it. I'm a bit confused about the whole letter thing, but basically they suspect Manyuda of setting them up? I think he's gonna be an interesting character (his declaration of his intent to succeed the president for one thing!) and I loved his rejection of Yumeko's wager LOL. I guess next episode will be an official match between them then :P Yumemi and Yumeko singing the ED idol-style was pretty nice though XD |
| Aww I loved the song at the end! Yumeko was such a good sport to play along and sing with Yumemi even though she won. So cute<3 |
| Yumeko is such a boss. If I went to that academy, I would have nothing but utter respect for her, she's just so hardcore and such a bad ass, it's like she's phased by nothing at all. No one can get under her skin. Definitely one of the top fictional characters that I have the most respect for. |
| The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its sail against the sky Waiting for tomorrow Just another day God bid yesterday goodbye... |
| Lol that song number with Jabami joining in was quite unexpected... but then again this was an idol episode. |
 |
| Nice to see a performance animated. Also finally a competent male character challenged to gamble. |
 |
| so it's gonna be Yumeko vs Sakamoto. too bad she's using her official match to him instead of student council president. |
| The animation in this show is very well done, I like movement scenes. Finally the idol is forgiven and Matsuda is in the sights. The idol competition was only entertaining and Yumeko won. The idol show was good. |
 |
| Another quite interesting episode, quite liked that ending! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Hmmm I wonder what Jabami is planning. She definitely knew she was going to be the idol bitch, but did she also want Kaede to come down just for her to challenge him? And now that she did challenge him, why did she do it!? Hmmmmmm |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Interesting. She actually played the tape herself. The reaction of her fans was pretty obvious though. It was rather annoying they drew it out so much. It was funny how Yumeko turned this into such a big deal though. At this point she's pretty much toying with them just for the sake of it :D She could probably just meet with the president and challenge her directly (if she was at school obviously) but she doesn't anymore. I'm not even entirely certain that guy was the one that setup the idol although he was one of the two I suspect but it doesn't really matter. The sooner we get to the game with the president the better. This event accelerates the whole process a bit. On a sidenote - the explanation for choosing 6 was kinda stupid. In this case it simply makes the most sense because neither knows the exact month and 6/7 are in the middle of the set. The 6 just lends itself to mind games contrary to the 7 which is unique more or less. And the idol obviously played itself at that. |

| So sad how Yumemite having lost just got cast to the side like that lel |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| "The audience member will then kindly lend us their smartphone..." What if the random audience member has a Motorola RAZR or something? Yumeko is an amazingly elaborate gambler...getting inside the idol's head with the whole 6/9 thing when she herself didn't even know when Mary's birthday was. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Boring episode, like the others too. Had potential to be better. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Apparently this was a rushed episode from the manga content. So maybe thats why it's weak? Oh well. The trick with the 6/9 was funny. |
 |
| Damn this show is good....just sayin'! |
 |
on 
| Damn! why did I stop watching this show! gonna binge watch this ep9 to 12 because S2 is near!!! 5/5. |
 |
| If they weren't going to animate the singing competition or include any vocals for Yumemite, they should have just skipped straight to the score after the audience starts chanting. Showing the shaking still images was so off putting. It couldn't even be half a verse of song like Jabami? Weird. |
| lol it was obvious her fans were still going to root for Yumemi. But I thought they were going to go crazy in love with her sadistic side haha Yumeko with her hair down is my fave Yumeko <3 wasn't really a fan of the twin tails lol. She would look good with chopsticks in her hair or a ponytail It's too bad this gamble wasn't as good. Hope it gets redeemed. This one was more like a variety show idol type of thing. Meh. |
| This episode was the least Kakegurui-like episode so far with the very light-hearted take it had. There were hardly any tense gambles throughout the variety show and it ended too well for Yumemi because of her considerate but masochistic fans. It's nice that she got to keep her career and finally get to appreciate her own fanbase and we also got a lovely surprise duo performance from the Creamy Dreamy Sisters but it felt so ridiculous even by the show's standards. Yumeko had secretly influenced Yumemi to sicc her fans on Manyuda and it went really well for her. I didn't expect that she'd use her Official Match pass on him but I guess that he'd be the only one to refuse a game. |
 |
| Definitely the weakest episode so far which is a shame because the theme is pretty fun. The gambling just wasn't that engaging. |
| I don't get why they blamed the student council guy in the end. How is it his fault that the idol girl ripped up a fan letter? |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| I'm glad this idol business is over, I wonder if idol fans would really react like this is confronted with the harsh truth. Didn't expect another fight against the student coucil next episode, will she really play against the prez in the last episode? |
| Im really curious as to what that ring is on Yumeko's finger. I wonder if it has any meaning behind it since its rare to see an anime character wearing a ring if it doesnt have meaning. Re-watching this is getting me excited to see what happens to him. I remember it being good. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Fucking simps... |
| lol @ the 6/9 bgm yumeko was like lol i dunno her birthday looooooool yumeko is such a babe!!!!! is this not an accurate commentary on toxic fan culture lolol |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Yumemi and Yumeko singing together was really adorable. Though I prefer the other episodes over an idol one. |
 ｡*✲ﾟ*♡(o•ᴗ•o)♡*✲ﾟ*｡ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ |
| 10/10 Episode!!! |
 |
| what a bunch os simos |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Well this is by far the boring episode |
| In a turn of events, everyone is loving Yumemi still. I suppose that is what you get with hardcore fanboys. Anyway, this was a decent episode but I don't really feel that it was something of stakes in compared to other episodes. Hopefully next episodes will change that. |
| Well, what can I say? Bunch of fucking simps. I didn't expect that at all. Idiots. |
 |
| Heh, not much happened for my liking but i'll take what i can get. |
 |
| Huh, didn't think things would've turned out the way they did for Yumemi in the end |
| Not my favourite match so far. Though it was enjoyable. I’m surprised to see the fans forgave the idol girl. The end of the episode was surprising aswell with Yumeko starting an official match. |
