Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler -
| Idk man, I just feel that's it's so cliched, up its own ass and just edgelord bullshit. But a fair amount of people are loving it. What am I missing? |
| I don't dislike it, but I don't necessarily like it. People will find one anime and overhype it. It's Kakagurui's turn. |

What am I missing? if you don't like it you don't like it.. why make a thread? are you hoping someone is going to tell YOU, why YOU don't like it? i like it because its hot ass girls being badass, and the animation is amazing, is that not enough? |

I made this thread hoping to get some insight into why people like it. I do personally like the animation, I think it's amazing (the cinematography isn't great but that's besides the point). I didn't make this thread to ruin anyone's opinion. |
| Lol, there's definitely a fair amount of ppl who dislike it as well. It's one of the most watched shows airing this season, doesn't mean it appeals to everyone who's watching. What you're "missing" is the fact that ppl are allowed to like and dislike whatever they want. Threads like these are pretty much up their own ass, as you put it. |
 Anime was the catalyst of my life's downward spiral. Joining MAL was the nail in my coffin.  Every day I keep screaming into the void, but god just tells me to shut up. |
| Of course, you are not the only one who dislikes something, but I do have to agree. It honestly felt really dumb. It was like mixing the bad parts of Kaiji with the bad parts of NGNL. I honestly feel like it really has nothing going for it other than maybe its animation, but even that wasn't that great. Well, I guess it does have the horrid facial reactions if you like that kind of stuff. The backgrounds were fairly dull and it had some awkward moments of horrible cinematography. Personally, I found it to be one of the worst first episodes I have seen in a long while. I would say more about why I dislike it, but here is why people like it. Even if I don't feel that way. People like it because of the tension that it has. The reaction faces to people are genuinely funny to them. And having hot/sexy girls dominating other people gives them a "reaction" if you catch my drift. Oh and the power fantasy that is has would be appealing to most too. And honestly, I think that is really it. |

rvbrick said: No. It's pretty damn terrible. The only thing in the show that's remotely well executed is the title sequence. that being said, compared to the rest of the seasonal anime I've seen (admittedly, not very much), it's at least a step above abysmal, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's mediocre. I totally agree about the OP, the song is awesome and the visuals are great. I personally think ACCA 13 had a similar and better OP, but credit where credit is due, the OP for Kakegurui is great. |
| If you're going to say something is crappy, at least explain why other than throwing around often overused and misused terms... Anyway, the main merit of the show is that it is supposed to be over the top and exciting. |
Littlereshi said: honestly every series has its set of cliches so that isn't valid criticism. Would be better to say how the show is doing the cliches wrong compared to other shows with those cliches Idk man, I just feel that's it's so cliched Littlereshi said: ah that is so right and the very reason I'm watching it since I'm a sadist and it has a strong lead instead of a disgusting little cry baby like Deadman Wonderland or Tokyo Ghoul just edge lord bullshit. |

That's a perfect way of explaining it, I guess the main appeal isn't anything in way of plot, which is what I expecting from the synopsis. Maybe I put my expectations in the wrong place. |

Anyway, the main merit of the show is that it is supposed to be over the top and exciting. Right, well when I say cliched, I mean in the way the story is told. The gambling games are beyond predictable and not tense because of that. The main character guy is my main gripe with the show. His inclusion is completely unnecessary, taking him out from the story would change absolutely nothing. He's so inconsequential. When I say edgy and up it own ass, I mean that the show has no self awareness to either its premise, or its execution. The way Jabami get turned on by gambling, screams to me of "OOO looks sexuality! Look how grown up and mature!" while the show itself is immature. The girl who steals fingernails from people has this same air of "oO look! Violence!". It's so up it's own ass trying to be cool and different that it neglects to make any other part of its story coherent, unique or exceptional. It's base and boring, and the fact that it acts as if it isn't, is infuriating. |

Kimino Friends had a very bad start but as episodes went by, it became more awesome. and to @Littlereshi, continue to watch it. |

| I've only seen PVs so far, but is it basically Kaiji without the triangle chins? |

Well, I am going to watch it to the end, as I do with all my airing shows. But I do have enough faith in myself to tell if an anime is going to be bad from its early episodes. |
| > Am I the only one who doesn't like Kakegurui? I avoided watching it in the first place. It sounded bad even from description. |

deafnote said: I barely made it through the first episode. I could have easily checked the source beforehand, but I went in blind, thinking Mappa = Instant masterpiece Big mistake on my part. I would have loved it just a few years ago and I do understand why a lot of people like it. It's sexy, silly and has a little thrill and mystery to it, but it just isn't for me I love MAPPA too, Terror in Resonance is a personal favourite and Yuri!!! On Ice was decently good. They let me down |
| Well I wanted to give an answer here to but you guys already have said it.... Ppl just tend to like Insane hot girls I guess? Also this anime kinda feels like an insult towards Corporate ppl and pro gamblers to be honest (but who gives a dam about that) |

Yeah the power fantasy is a huge part of the appeal too. I don't have a problem with self inserting/wish fulfillment, if it's in a show that gives a damn about anything else. |
| I drop it after watching the first episode. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I feel like it would be quite a bit better without that lower class discrimination shit and was just solely about the gambling. |

| So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded |
| It hasn't really done anything much. Kaiji was much better imo in terms of gambling and really making you feel the tension. Kakegurui at the moment... I'm hoping for more development with Saotome which can in turn change the character dynamics we've seen for the first 3 episode, because it doesn't seem Jabami will progress on her own and the passive main character sure as heck isn't going to push anything. |

| Definitely not, I absolutely despise every aspect of it. Utter rubbish. |
| We can close the thread now, the truth has been spoken. |
 |
| The manga is actually a little entertaining (still waaay inferior than akagi/kaiji imho), but it isn't translating well into anime. |
Littlereshi said: What am I missing? I dont know. May be answered by asking yourself, why you love Monogatari, Evangelion, Shingeki no Kyojin, and Zankyou no Terror? And why you dislike SAO? Could be the answer is personal taste? Personally, I've loved kakegurui since reading the synopsis and watching the PV. Because I already understand the story and plot after watch first episode, for me the anime is very interesting to watch. How do i explain it. You know, because its a Compulsive Gambler-"Complusive!" with genre Game + Psychological "Psycho!" + Mystery + Drama. For the story connoisseur, I'm pretty sure only with that combination is already very interesting. Morevore, the uniqueness of the storyline, the tidiness of the story, the element of surprise, the conflict, the way of telling the story, the consistency of quality, the existence of positive values of life, and characterization. Kakegurui have all the elements that make me love a story. Littlereshi said: The main character guy is my main gripe with the show. His inclusion is completely unnecessary, taking him out from the story would change absolutely nothing. I dont agree with that. Suzuki is a normal guy who is not crazy with gambling. Whereas jabami and other girl is the opposite. Of course with such characterization would make the story to be dynamic. Then just look at how the character develops with the story. If the character does not develop, it will make story unattractive. Littlereshi said: Right, well when I say cliched, I mean in the way the story is told. The gambling games are beyond predictable and not tense because of that. Which parts do you consider clichés? Do you forget if there is an element in the story of uncovering cheating in gambling? |

| This thread shows that you're not the only one OP. Also retarded criticism like "it's cliche" or "it's edgy" has become so overused i can't take someone seriously anymore when using that as an excuse without explaining. |
| Edgy (let me explain - for kids who things that it is cool when MC is somehow OP or shit like that.) show full of lame yuri bait fanservice with dense/useless/pussy male MC - everything you can't expect from nipponjin anime this season. Everything that MAL user desire... |

No. Simple probability would dictate that you're not 100% unique in disliking the show, making me wonder why - unless you are just incapable of very basic reasoning - you'd ask this question. But really, it's fact that you're not alone and there's statistics to prove it and that's really the only thing that matters at the end of the day, so /thread, your question has been answered OP. Congratulations. Sit back and actually ask yourself "Do I think I am literally the only person who has a negative opinion on a product?" before running here and seeking validation by asking a redundant question like this. |

|
| Not at all, my man. I dislike it and I haven't even watched it. |
 |
| There are a lot of things to like -there aren't many anime about gambling -MC character switches from an innocent looking girl into a total savage during the games, this contrast is quite amusing to watch. - the over the topness in general, risky stakes, brilliant facial expressions and crazy people around every corner -the little mind games -appealing visuals and good OSTs |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I'm on the middle Its similar to no game no life.. i guess. thats why I dont get hyped but more on humiliation after the game (i guess you'll enjoy it if you're quite sadistic?) |
