| Overall a pretty surprising show for me. I don't think I've seen a gambling anime. So that was definitely on the plus side. The ending felt a little bit rushed and I don't know if this game was worth for the end. Oh well. At least it ended in a tie. I wonder why the student representative disband the council. From what I read here in this thread the manga ending was different? Maybe I check it out. It's nice to see this will have a second season, even if I don't know about what the plot will be. |
 |
| Was expecting to see an epic match between the strong girls, but the wimpy male gets the spotlight in the end |
| Not bad. The idol episode sucked. Everything else was pretty good, esp the beginning eps. I hated Sayaka. She's a boring, obsessive, weak character. And v annoying when she sticks to the Prez like glue. I can't stand clingy ppl smfh >___> Suzui didn't have much presence either. The final gambling battle didn't have as much of a high consequence as the whole series hyped it up to be, so it fell a little short. 7/10 overall. Still enjoyed. |
| Too Meh for last episode tbh, but wtf she came from the thrill haha. and that confession out of nowhere. |
| Suzui channeled the gambling demon in him and picked up the Judgment card, narrowly saving Yumeko from getting banished from the school. They might've not won the game but getting the exact card needed to make it a tie took a lot of luck. She's as tenacious as ever and nothing will stop her from trying to humiliate the whole student council to entertain her fetish while dominating everyone else on the way there. |
 |
| Damn the Male who was the MC (or not) finaly did something ! For me he was just there to explain things to ppl that dont gamble and make otaku think they are in his place, but no he did something ! Some ppl said the ending was original one, so there wouldnt be season 2 , but theres season 2 , wonder if they will go with original anime sequel or go with original story and start with an other ending ep The hood girl was to much useless, i was like : thats all, she keep making me think she would be worse than president, but she do nothing, well she did know where was the card and know that president was about to pick the 21 card, i hope season 2 will give her some game time |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Damn Suzui!! Jabami got fucked just by his words. Her expression was lit, omg! |
| Wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be. I was expecting them to play something that involved skill, such as poker, not a guessing game. The presidents assistant is super annoying >:( 7/10 for this anime. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Season 1 was pretty good, if formulaic, but god damn did season 2 just nuke any potential this series had. The first bet with the finger guillotine was ace, but the rest were honestly quite awful and dumb, the final gamble with the betting felt like a joke. |
 |
| A draw? Well that was most certainly the most anticlimatic way to end this show. But since she drawed with the prez, I guess there is no one at this academy anymore that can defeat her. Wonder what the 2nd season will be about. People compared this to NGNL, but Kakegurui wasn't as good. While Sora was unbelievably smart and thus kind of a boring protagonist, Yumeko was unbelievably lucky which is even more unrealistic. The faces also annoyed me after a while. Best girl is obviouisly Yumemko, because everyone else was an ass. Worst girl is Luna, what an annoying kiddo. 7/10 |
| Well it feel a bit jumpy in every episode like they didn't have enough time to have a funny episode. But this gambling cartoon, I watch it for the first time and it has good quality on it. Took 8/10 for me, the rest was enjoyable. I have a crush on Seitou Kaichou now she's really had a good quality and insane of course. |
| Glad I gave this anime a chance. It's quite good. |
| So they tied purely out of chance? To the manga readers, was that card really the Fool that they needed to win? Also, the reason why I keep watching this show is the character instant changes that happen. It makes things a lot more interesting because Ryota is pretty bland. It's like he's just...there. I like Mary and Itsuki because there characters are more fleshed out imo. We have no idea about Ryota's backstory. |
 |
| on one hand i really liked this episode coz SUZUI FINALLY HAS FULL APPEARANCE and he made yumeko come that was really hot ˘ ³˘ i ship them so hard???? sadly he has no presence i hope the 2nd season is much better in terms of development it was an interesting finale but what was that conclusion o_____O so anti-climatic this was a 7/10 for me, entertaining & i do like the characters but the "gambling" which is supposed to be everything kakegurui is about right???? fell flat often, definitely some standout episodes tho! hope 2nd season is better |
 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 |
| The ending wasn't that intense as it should've been, but neither was it awful. I thought it was average at most. |
 |
| I'm excited to see the match between Yemeko and the President.~ Runa is spooky when she's a referee. A draw, huh. I really enjoyed S1. I'm excited to see S2 get played out. |

| 2 Momobami??? My mind is fucked |
 |
| It wasnt bad, but it wasnt very good too. Fine time killer, nothing more. |
| "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." |
| Not horrible for an ending, but it wasn't great. Overall I'm disappointed. This anime wasn't thrilling, but instead just an edgy mess. I gotta say though, it's somehow entertaining. |
 |
| Well not great but not terrible ending. It was kinda predictable tho. One thing I did like was how Ryouta took the risk even when I knew that he is going to either even out the score or win. |

| I really did enjoy the anime, I just wish it wasn’t so tailored towards a horny male audience. However, I’m just personally not a fan of ecchi and I think it ruined some scenes and make it hard to watch. |
 why am i plagued with furry jokes everywhere I go |
| And that's another show to add to my completed list ! What can I say about this one... It was fun, I won't deny it. This show knows how to be exciting even if I barely understood anything about the games (I must admit I really don't know much about gambling). However, it has a lot of flaws, though I'm sure everyone knows them. Of course, the main problem is that Yumeko is such an op character, the show doesn't even let the viewer find the different tricks before she reveals them. Most of the time it ends up being pure mindless entertainment. Which wouldn't be that much of a problem if the show didn't try so hard to make it look like there is something deeper to all those far-fetched resolutions. Another problem I have is with Yumeko herself. I found her pretty fun at first but her antics got old very quickly, for the reason explained above and also because after a while, she just becomes predictable and uninteresting. I can't even say I had fun trying to understand her thought process because there simply wasn't anything deep about it. Another thing, which is how unnecessarily disturbing some scenes were. Midari's whole character for example, in another, more serious show, I would've found her very interesting, but here she was just... Creepy. Just for the sake of it. Okay, her scenes were entertaining, but still. There is also Sumeragi pulling out her nails, among other things. I totally understand that this show wants itself to be insane, but sometimes it really went too far. I have some other criticisms but there is one I really want to mention, which goes with my two first ones. That is, if the gambling is unpredectable for the viewers but the outcome is predictable due to Yumeko's plot armor, then what is the point ? I felt the tension at times but only when it comes to other characters, so the gambling became pretty boring when I just couldn't care about the opponent (and it happened a lot of time). The show is all about stakes, but there isn't actually any stake. Now, when it comes to being fun, as I said the show still knows how to be so. The over-the-top insanity, when not taken seriously, makes for something very entertaining. Plus, most of the voice actors did a great job at portraying this collection of deranged characters (though Saori Hayami was definitely at her best during Yumeko's moments of craziness, the rest of the time I grew a bit tired of hearing her always speaking in the same tone of voice). And even if in the end that wasn't the main point, I still found that interesting to see the dangerosity of gambling, both when it comes to material possessions and when it comes to mental health. And finally, the character of the president intrigues me, she is so much more serious than the rest of the cast, she makes things more interesting. Plus, I like the mystery behind the girl who I guess is her sister. For all the flaws I listed, I really can't give it more than 5. It was entertaining, but it could've been so much more if it took itself more seriously (and didn't take its viewers for idiots). I'm still going to watch the second season, mostly because from what I've seen it seems to focus on the president. |

| I mean, this was a show all about showcasing the bat shit crazy yandere's and almost nothing else and I think it was a success there. The "gambling" felt secondary in nature. While there was next to no unpredictability with the gambling and the stakes seemed superficial and/or meaningless, it was the female characters that stole the show. The less said about the Male MC, the better lol. 6/10. |
| I mean, ehhhhh. I can live with the ending, but I was expecting a little more. This is really just a little lesson about fate lol. But overall, this is a pretty good anime and quite underrated here on MAL with a score of like 7.28 One of the fastest runs I've had with a series recently, good to know I can get to places if I actually put in the effort. But anyway I look forward to 2nd season. 8-9/10 |
| The moment between Yumeko and Ryouta deciding what card to pick was actually really cool |
 |
| Nah man just finished the first season after having this in my planned to watch list for years now and after being cancelled on anitwt by the entire Kakegurui fandom, and I can’t believe how long I waited to watch this. Genuinely some of the most fun I’ve had watching an anime in the past few years. Absolute peak fiction. All the girls are awesome, the games are fun, the fanservice is perfect, idk how you give this anything but a 10. |
 |
| No wonder Last Match ended as a draw, though it was predictable to some extent. This is a good show filled with a madness and crazy characters. Yumeko Jabami and all female lead is a very likable mc cause of those wild expression and shots. Animation and Direction are also really a strong point of this show. Will probably checkout next season. 7.8/10 |
 |
| So... the ending is different than the manga. I'll definitely have to read the manga as well but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy this show. Yumeko, best girl. I love her so much. My hot gambling freak. |
 |
| I don't even know what to say about this series, it was pure insanity all the way through but still was extremely enjoyable, even though I had a feeling Yumeko would always win what kept me interested was that I never knew HOW she was going to win, sometimes it was strategy sometimes pure luck. I'm so glad I decided to watch this after seeing The Cursed Judge's video on it, I think this was a very good anime so I am gonna give it an 8/10 |
