Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler -
| Well, it's not really surprising but... "The staff of the television anime adaptation of Homura Kawamoto and Tōru Naomura's Kakegurui anime announced on Thursday that the 12th and final episode, which airs on Saturday, will have an anime-original ending." https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-09-21/kakegurui-anime-has-original-ending/.121692 |

| Any chances they do a second season? They can ignore this final episode can't they if they do another season? |
| It was kind of expected given that what transpires after last week's events would take more than one episode to cover. Not only that but it still wouldn't have seemed to fit the bill for ending a season. Well I just hope it ends up being entertaining as I've been loving the series since it aired and hopefully in the future we end up getting a second season. |

| Ah, dammit. I knew it. >_> This is a bit of a shame. The opening foreshadowing where I thought it will likely end up on is all false. lol Well, let's just see how this will go. Jack_100HP said: noooo MAPPA thats a wrong move, especially with this anime because it's so short :( i'd understand if it was 24 eps but this is so short I feel the exact same way. :( Should have made this more than 12 episodes. Then they wouldn't have to do this (and skipped a few notable things from the manga). Mike_ptbr said: Any chances they do a second season? They can ignore this final episode can't they if they do another season? Like Ao No Exorcist did (sort of)? I guess they could do that, but wouldn't that make this rather confusing? I don't know. I don't think we're getting a second season. I think we can probably hope for another adaption to this in the future after the manga is completed like how Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood did, though I don't think that's likely imo. |

TrashDax said: I thought this kind of cancer died long ago... Is it cancer because you don't like it or because it's getting an original ending? Nothing wrong with an original ending, not everything has to follow the manga 100%, I think it could possibly be better that way. It's only one episode. |
| ah ok so MAPPA turning into Madhouse 2.0 I guess they've learned nothing I guess |

Original endings cut off a story that is not supposed to end yet with a finale that has nothing to do with the source material. Imagine a movie based on Mutiny on the Bounty but it ends when they arrive in Tahiti and Christian and Bligh have a sword fight. |

Yeah but it's different for an anime with only 12 episodes, of course everyone would prefer it to have more episodes and finish every arc. The anime industry doesn't work that way. At least it's better than rushing through an arc or cutting it off halfway. |

At least it's better than rushing through an arc or cutting it off halfway. I agree that the way anime are currently made is not very customer friendly when it comes to adapting. On the other hand, having multiple seasons over multiple years is still better than fillers, so...yeah. But ending a first season with an original ending is a bad move, you block yourself from producing more if it becomes a success. In terms of economics, the anime industry still needs to learn a lot. |

| RIP there goes my dreams of a second season. I knew it would happen since The Tower Arc was supposed to be next.. Disappointed but not surprised. |
 yeehaw |
| Mappa is screwing themselves up. They should announce a season 2 and leave season 1 with a cliffhanger. I would like to see a casino arc. |
 |
| 1) I think everyone knew this already. 2) Why is everyone saying MAPPA made a mistake when the show isn't even that popular? It's average in popularity, if anything. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |

The mangaka of Fullmetal Alchemist is the one who wanted an anime original ending in the 1st place. Plus ever since the year 2004 FMA ( both animes and manga) have become one of Square Enix's (manga magazine) biggest properties yet. So of course FMA gets a remake because the anime before that was popular enough. Which is also why it had 2 anime movies, OVA's, specials, video games from square enix and a live action film. The propriety has to make money if you want more of it. In Japan atleast. Merchandise is important to an anime's success. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| I don't think anime original endings are inherently bad. As long as it doesn't make a second season impossible, or effect the story negatively, then it should be fine. |

I never knew that. (Reads on) Oh, I see. No wonder. Well, can't say I'm surprised about the sort of thing at all either. Basic business thing, and I think the series deserved it anyway. Kittens-kun said: I don't think anime original endings are inherently bad. As long as it doesn't make a second season impossible, or effect the story negatively, then it should be fine. Just kind of sucks to me that they could have just made one or two more episodes (though I bet that's much easier said than done). But yeah, they're not always bad. There have been some I've seen before that I've enjoyed regardless and a few I even enjoyed more than the original sources' direction. So here's to hoping that this'll do fine, but I'm a little skeptical since this is the very last episode and all. |

It would suck if the ending fell short compared to the rest of the series. |

| So? Chapter 33 (Tower Arc) won't get adapted cuz of Momobami's true goal gets REVEALED Well That's unexpected beyond my least expectations |

 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| WTF, The next duel was going to be much more intense. Shame. Other than being rush in some scenes, it's still faithful to the manga. Just hope someone would animate the rest in the near future. |
| Since I haven't read the manga, I guess I can't complain either way. However, the way episode 11 ended, it seems difficult to wrap it up in a satisfactory way in the time frame of one episode, and most of the previous comments seem to think a season 2 isn't likely...it's a shame. |
| When someone insult this show at least fans can now say "But manga is better"... |
 |
| Can't be worst than Fuuka, right? |
| Great news, I prefer original anime endings compared to never happening second seasons.... |
Swim_Swim said: Great news, I prefer original anime endings compared to never happening second seasons.... Well, that. If a second season is not going to happen, then it's best to have an anime original ending, so that we can at least pretend the story is finished. I'm not expecting a very good finale, however. |

| The reviews on this show though, all below 5 same with Koi to Uso oh how the tables have turned. Probably going to happen with Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e. |
| Director of the anime had a interview and talked about the anime's last episode: Hayashi Yuuichiro's Interview Firstly, can you tell us more about the background behind the anime's last episode's story that was drafted by Kawamoto-sensei? Hayashi: We planned to do the Tower of Door arc. This episode was supposed to be the eventual Sayaka and President main episode. That being the case, we want to end the series with Yumeko. I want Mary and Suzui to have more screen time too! So, as a result of considering some ideas, “I pleaded with Kawamoto-sensei!” Please tell us about the highlight of the last episode Hayashi: In the end, it's the gamble between Kirari and Yumeko that has yet to be seen in the original work, right? After that, Runa's role is pretty big too. The conclusion is also like a summary of everything that's happened up till now, and small bits have been crammed into the epilogue. Also, the key item has to be the tarot cards' special point - The designs - I hope you took that in! There's a vital observation to be made here too! Please leave a few last words for everyone watching the anime! Hayashi: We've finally reached the finale. Please have fun with this mysterious gamble no one has known of yet! Though the Tower of Doors was not shown, it would be good if I could have animated that as well. Thank you very much. The authors comments summarised > I thought(worried?) a lot about what kind of animation my story could become. > However, In the end under Hayashi's supervision, I was very excited and it turned into something truly wonderful > The hardest part of the production was time constraints and deadlines, the rest was very fun. > The highlight of the original ending is of course the original gamble. (He elaborates on it - What is gambled, what can be lost, and won... etc) > I hope those watching the anime enjoy it! I hope people can enjoy both the anime and manga. > The last episode has made this become a much more intense anime than expected initially, so it is a must-watch! It is truly very fun/interesting! |
NeonCountess said: How come there won't be a second season when a new character was introduced in the end?? huh which one? screenshot pls |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
NeonCountess said: Too lazy to do, but in the last two minutes, that little girl (forgot her name) said: "..... even council president can't do anything about her (Yuneko) , huh Ririka" (and then you can see a girl in the shower, who I've never seen before) Oh they pulled a God eater on us. Meh I'm used to this kind of shit. The anime wasn't even that good. I fapped only 2 times |

That's always been my belief as well. It just seems like it makes more sense to end it on a note that's conclusive, leaves the ending open enough for a sequel, and ends in a spot faithful to the source material that makes sense. Why limit yourself in the event that it does become successful? One that comes to mind immediately is Akame ga Kill. They were extremely faithful for the first 16 episodes, and then went full anime original. Had they just ended it they could've easily made another faithful season. |
