| Is that the prequel? Nice to see Kakegurui author getting new stuff after the Cheat Slayer disaster (who I dont think it was his fault). |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
Fabris said: Is that the prequel? Yes, it takes place a year before the main series. |
| Nice, now I hope other Kakegurui spin off also gets anime. |
 |
| Finally we have a release date for this |

I never heard of Cheat Slayer until you mentioned it here and wow....I'm honestly surprised it got published. But if he got permission then I'm surprised it got cancelled so quick. |
| LETS GOOOOOOOOOO |
| I'm a little embarrassed that they chose Netflix. Don't they have enough hype to make a third season? Fabris said: Is that the prequel? Nice to see Kakegurui author getting new stuff after the Cheat Slayer disaster (who I dont think it was his fault). Yes, this is a prequel that was created in the wake of Mary's popularity. Also given the current audience of the franchise, get ready to turn the discussion into a branch of Twitter, especially this anime |

AbelNhom said: Guess they decide to do this first until they have enough source materials for S3. Well for sure it’s MAPPA, but I’m not expecting Hayashi directing this since he’s busy with AOT. RobertBobert said: Enough hype but not enough source materials for now. We will have enough after this got released.I'm a little embarrassed that they chose Netflix. Don't they have enough hype to make a third season? You think so? I always thought it was endless manga. |

RobertBobert said: yeah. I remember when it was already announced to be a part of the Netflix jail when season one was going to air in 2017 lolDatRandomDude said: Kakegurui has always been with Netflix so idk why that would've changed Is it?

|
| finally best girl get her anime, I hope they'll make a 3rd season of Kakegurui when they have enough chapters. Can't wait to see threads asking the watch order. RobertBobert said: This manga was literally pandering for those who fap too hard on Mary lol. Yes, it was made for us :)) |
    |
| Now this sounds like something to look forward to. I've been craving some crazy gambling girls. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yes!!! I've been waiting for another season of Kakegurui and I love Mary Saotome. I was planning on reading the Kakegurui Twin manga since it was a prequel series, but I'll wait on the anime. |
 |
| Good news, this series is wild overall. Hoping for a good season. |

| as a manga reader, i'm so excited. i really enjoy kakegurui twin more than the original series. i'm excited to see so many characters animated. hope they do it justice |
Adampk said: Why is spin off rated higher than main series? Is it actually better or just because of low member count? The relationship of the two female MCs is more looked like ship tease than bold bait and memes in the original show. Also, Mary for objective reasons looks like a more reasonable character than Jabami, so this manga became the gateway to the franchise for many normies. |

RobertBobert said: Well, you asked why this is rated higher, I answered. Otherwise, this is a typical spin-off of this franchise. I mean usually, I dont see spin off rated higher than original. Plus its not like mary is having more fans than jabami |

| I doubt Hayashi's going to return, as much as I want to see his over the top direction once more. Man needs a break. Whoever takes over, I hope they do good. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |
| Yeah sure. Kakegurui can be a bit boring at times but it also fun to see crazy games and crazy characters. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Can't believe the news for this. I've always been thinking how great it would be if this got adapted, and it just recently came to mind again. Just what the fuck? Would have never expected it Lol. I guess I could have thought about the possibility with Netflix tho. |
 |
| OOH, Mary's prequel story before the main series? Hell yeah. |
 |
Adampk said: Why is spin off rated higher than main series? Is it actually better or just because of low member count? Low member count. Spin-off isn't better or worse than the main series. They are both average. The main series has 49,000 members (13,000 rated) The spin-off has 6,000 members (1,400 rated) |

Piromysl said: Jumeko singlehandedly carried this series and without her I don't even see the point of watching it. I have the complete opposite opinion. With Yumeko there were absolutely no stakes at all to the gambles and it got pretty old fairly quick for me. Without her I can see a possibility for some actual stakes to take place. Then again, despite the appearances, the original show wasn't really about the gambling itself. |

RobertBobert said: Well, Yumeko is a pretty classic "how does Batman get out of this problem this time?" protagonist. Thing is, Yumeko never really gets to the "get out of this problem" bit because she's either already solved the problem before it's presented to the audience, or she can leverage her insane wealth to make the problem go away. At least when Batman gets into trouble, he's actually -in trouble-. |
| Let's hope this makes up for the crappy second season |

Down for a prequel for sure. |

RobertBobert said: You've never watched JoJo with all those "actually I have already defeated you!" ? I have, and again it's not a good comparison. Those turnabouts typically comes after many setbacks and then seeing an opportunity or capitalizing on a flaw in the opponent. And again, the characters are actually in real danger in JoJo. You don't seem to understand the difference between those and Yumeko, and why she's not compelling. It's not just about solving the problem, it's also about getting TO that solution. Even the stoic Batman has setbacks and makes mistakes. |
