| Large roadbllock to my enjoyment was that the material itself is very tiring to watch. Done to death statement but this really does get boring after a certain point, the faces, the ridiculously exaggerated characters all or mostly work for a few times then get difficult to continue enjoying, even though I watched this weekly. It's like marmite. So despite the individually good writing this wasn't that positive an experience. 4/10 Mohammadalmannai said: VanishingKira said: Quite easily MAPPA's worst show 4/10. Watch Punch Line then lol Punch Line shits all over this, that was at least dynamic and looked consistently good |

| I'm surprised with this ending. I wish they would end with Sayaka vs Jabami's gamble from the manga, but I think the ending works out just fine, even besides the really easy gamble. :) |

| Pretty shit bet for being final ep imo, predictable like every other episode, more annoying faces, bad and what felt like a rushed ending. |

mehmehperson said: Snaita said: Of course it would have, better have to wait no matter how long for a sequel than have to get the anime axed leaving almost no chance for a sequel... If at least the original ending was good, but nope, the most anticipating showdown from the entire anime instead of being 1-2 episodes like the the other minor showdowns, no it was done in half an episode and it ended in a draw!? The thing if the author wrote it doesn't really help at least to me, I now they are asked to do it just to appease to the fans. For all I know they made the ending and slapped his name on it... Just like in Dragon Ball Super, just because Toryama was "involved" it's good but to me is bad and not that different from GT, this happens so much times. The tower scene in the manga was just yuri bait so it wasn't any better. Plus canon manga material can suck too like fairy tail's manga. And what if season 2 never came out PERIOD! We will still have a unfinished story. An "If" isn't conclusive and it will never be, on the other hand an original ending is more "period" than an "If", cause generally an original ending is an axed ending, no more seasons. And "If" works both ways, the source material can get better and a sequel could still be adapted in the future. By the way why the focus on yuri bait? It has been yuri bait since the first episode... now I'm not into yuri bait but I know for sure that I can stomach it more than the ending we had, the showdown was made in half an episode ending in a draw when the other gambles took at least 1-2 eps, that's just stupid... On other note it's not good comparing this to Fairy Tail man, cause Fairy Tail is "run" heavily by fans(personal opinion here) and character pools it's been bad early on just that few people noticed early on, the rest noticed later(like me...) |

| Alright ending, I guess. Show had a strong start and first half in my opinion. Second half was a bit weaker, but it was still enjoyable for what it was. 8/10. |
  |
| I enjoyed this show but the ending was a let down. 7/10 |
| 'I love you because you're you. I'm happy that you're whole. I don't care if there are sides of you that I don't know, or don't like. If that's who you are, that's fine. As long as you're whole, that's enough for me.'-Kouko Kaga |
| Well, it's a fitting last episode I guess, though the lack of suspense really made it the weakest episode |
| What kind of garbage last episode... The artwork and writing took a hit since they went with an original ending, but it could have been better than this. Series was fun, but this episode wasn't. Read the manga I guess, especially since it's still ongoing. |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| It was okay, I mean, from what I've seen posted here and there I thought it would be worse. I kinda forgot Suzui through the show, so it was surprising that he got a little spotlight. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Not 2-cour. You screwed up sir. It was fun while it lasted. |
| I guess my opinion is the opposite of everyone else's. I didn't care too much for episode 11, and was worried when I heard this last episode was going to be anime-original, but I thought it was a pretty great episode after finishing it. We got a lot of Miyuki Sawashiro and Sayori Hayami back and forth, and even Suzui was able to look cool haha. Even though it was anime-original, they left us with enough closure for ending in the middle of the story, but also left the door open just in case another season was to be green-lit. I was losing interest in the series as it went on, but this was a really good last episode! |
| Hmmm...well, I didn't hate the ending. I'm also not caught up with the manga. I love it to death, but have been way too busy, so by not being caught up to around where the final episode went original, I cant really compare the two. Obviously as a manga reader I'll always be disappointed in an original ending, but I would at least critique it to see if it does any semblance of justice to the material. All I can give is my current opinion on it, to which I say, I'm content. Sure it definitely wasn't the most exciting, the Yumemi and Manyuda gambles were definitely more exciting. I think the highlight of this particular gamble was the straightforwardness of it, and also how it highlighted a different aspect of the gambling going on. All of the other gambles were for shit loads of money, or black mail, or a cheap thrill. But Kirari explained it to Mary, not all gambles are about the money. It seemed like a simple bet, but that academy is a place dear to both Yumeko and Kirari. I also kind of enjoyed seeing it come full circle back to Suzui. Normally cowardly, he manned up and became assertive with the gamble. He didn't even hold back on what was borderline a confession to Yumeko. And even he was portrayed with the crazy eyes finally, like being around Yumeko finally showed influence on him. The prez and vice prez being twins fuckin threw me for a loop big time. Don't know if that was revealed in the manga yet or not since I'm not caught up. That mind fucked me a bit since usually in anime there's some gary-stu explanation for why a character is in two places at once. They don't normally just blatantly throw the twin sisters card at you. Unfortunately I don't see a second season happening. When a SE published adaptation goes anime original ending, that seems to be the end of it. |
| For the taste the colours!! Nice faces again ;) |
| You know, as far as anime only endings go the Tarot game is a decent way to end the season. Not great by any means (since they needed to maintain the status quo for potential follow ups), but it was at least true to the nature of the show and it was nice to see Suzui get some more focus. That said I do think they probably should have ended with the conclusion to Choice Poker or give Mappa one more episode to properly adapt the ToD game. Instead the studio decided to hedge their bets with this ending (ironic considering the series). Overall I enjoyed this adaptation and hope it gets a sequel once the manga has more content released. That'd most likely be a year and a half off at its earliest, but I'll be hoping all the same. Kakegurui earns a solid 8/10. |

| One of the weaker episodes and kind of a let down as the finale one. Not sure what I expected though, maybe a bit more thrill... |
It was great anime and that confession was priceless :D |

| One of the greatest shows of this year. Sure it was no Kaiji but if you went in expecting that, you're a fool. I'll probably pick up the manga, though the soundtrack will be missed. |

I love to express on their faces .. Finally Susie spoke & He said what he feels |
| This was... lol. It felt really weird. I really don't have as much of a problem with it, but I can definitely see why people hate this episode or even the whole anime just because of this episode. I'll just ignore this episode's existence and give this a 7. |

| Man, that was just tasty, in a lot of ways!! |
| A life is a history with no end...it continues to be told by others endless. We do not own lives, we own histories! |
| A good way to close things off given they had just one ep remaining I guess, but it still wasn't the most thrilling of challenges. The fact that we didn't get much of an aftermath hurt as well. A necessity for 2-cours, or at least 13 eps was a given. We get the "Go read the manga!" ending, I get it, at least half episode to provide some closure while also leading people to the manga is very much doable. You'd have the other half of the 13th ep dedicated to the gamble then. One thing's for sure, the journey was definitely better than the destination, with other gambles topping this one, not that this one didn't have it's charm of course. But props to Mappa for really stepping it up with the visuals, esp those damn facial expressions that rival Prison School. Also, even more credit to them for choosing more interesting source materials to adapt rather than going for cookie cutter LN adaptations. |
| Not the ending I was expecting (about the tie). But if I think it twice, was obvious considering the fact manga is still publishing. I can say that the marked card wasnt the joker and the presidnet (damn, I can't remembered her name) grabed 2 cards. |
| I think you should take a long hard look at your life and how far you've fallen as a human being when your immediate course of action to facing a strong opponent is trying find various ways to cheat when the game hasn't even been decided yet. But that's just me. Yumeko and the Prez finally got the chance to play together, though the game they chose itself wasn't quite as exciting as I thought it would be, they made a game about picking cards at random pretty darn hype. Also Suzui forever being dragged into things till the very end, but he also stepped up his game quite a lot there too. Admittedly, this ending felt a bit... cheap, rushed, safe, lacking, and kind of disappointing but hey, I'm satisfied with it enough, and its definitely raised my interest in the series itself. My final score for this would have to be an 8/10, because this was one fun as hell ride up to here, and while I know the gambling itself was kind of weak, I got my enjoyment out of the characters and their reactions, as well as the tricks themselves. Time to go read the manga. On that note, funny how this anime is all about taking risks and crap, and then the finale comes along and plays as safe as physically possible. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Finale was worse than other episodes |
| Even though the match between Yumeko and the student council president ended in a draw, the series was the best one to have come out this season. It was tense and had crazy characters including Yumeko one of my favorite girl now, she was a natural gambler and very very smart I enjoyed watching her. Why I enjoyed also was because I am tired of watching female characters being made there to make male protagonists to look good or be second best to them, she inspired feminism by being calculating the same or even more than other male characters. So this series because it was crazy I am gonna give it an insane 9/10. I am interested at season 2 to watch her and the president settle their strife once and for all. What's up with president dissolving the student council and who exactly this Momobami Ririka, damn now I can't wait. |
