Everytime I see a thread starting with "Am I the only one who...?" I want to kill someone. Seriously xD You fucking know you are not special and that there are other people who think like you, so stop asking stupid questions, for God's sake.

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?


Well, as someone else mentioned, Kaji is also an anime that existed. My main problems with parts that I feel are cliched, are the school setting. A school setting by default isn't boring but the way this is excited feels like something I've seen ten times over. As I've mentioned before, the main character guy also feels like any main character guy with no personality ever. It's just got nothing new to offer inside it's rather cool premise.

Did you read my reply to someone who had the same critism of my opinions as you? The one where I explained why I felt that way?

If you want answers why people care about Kakegurui maybe different title would be more suitable ya know.

Oh well, it's shounen I don't expect it's anything ground breaking or masterpiece. But it's more entertaining from the usual seasonal shounen we get. It's silly and I like watching typical pretty anime high school girls making ugly faces and not being perfect little angels. OP female main character is a plus. One reason too for me is it's not moe, there's that one character but I can just ignore her.

Was planning to read manga first but it's licensed so I'm just gonna buy it some day when I have that extra money.

I just think its a lot of fun. The characters are so overly edgy that it's kind of hilarious, the games are intense and suspenseful, the facial expressions are glorious, and the show just doesn't take itself too seriously and manages to suck me in with how gloriously stupid, fun, and oddly sexual it is.

I've heard that a lot, those things are what bother me the most (except the expressions they're great). It seems that people can just enjoy these things that are game-breaking for others.

Yeah, those two series are edgelordy. But they have unique aspects where I feel Kakegurui is a show that is parading that it's unqiue, but it just isn't.

Yes. You are the only one. Out of everyone who has at least seen it, you are the only one I have seen to say you dislike it. Congratulations. Stop watching it. Save yourself. You are the black sheep of the flock, just like I am literally the only one who openly dislikes Fullmetal Alchemist.

The only reason you think Kagegurui tries to be anything is because you think it tries to be that specific thing. It's just what it is and people like it, ok?

FLCL does interesting things with it's premise. I don't personally think its edgelordy, but let's say for arguement's sake it is. EVEN SO, FLCL is simply better constructed than Kakegurui.

holy crap the ammount of salt in this thread is unbelievable. beehive mentality amiright? if you hate an anime everyone likes don't express it on this page, it's full of sheep.
as for your question, it gives me the no game no life vibe but with main character's edginess turned up to the max. it has a ton of plot holes and oh surprise surprise! every single one of the enemies belong in a mental health ward as well. it is very generic, but this kind of "crazy people doing badass things in a deadly game" anime is what the mainstream likes and can talk about with their normie friends without being judged. don't get me wrong I enjoy it, but it's not the anime I like the most. I'm not rating this anime a 10/10 but I'm still gonna watch it. I rate all my anime out of enjoyment alone so this is about a 7, or maybe 6

Can people come up with criticisms that don't just default to crutch words that aren't universally applicable to every show they dislike?

Of course, and that's understandable. It's why anime is so subjective. I feel very much the same way about Jojo, where the over-the-top "fun" characters and meme-like plot that everyone loves ended up annoying me personally. A strength for one person could be a weakness for another.

i like it because its hot ass girls being badass, and the animation is amazing, is that not enough?

Edgy is usually used to describe something that pretends to be mature with gore/sexuality. I havnt seen flcl but I've heard it aparently has themes and stuff

I have it as an 8/10 since I'm very much enjoying it. Might drop it to a 7 but the style and the gambling so far with the punishment stuff is very enticing to me. I think it is very well done for this kind of show.

I would understand it not having huge broad appeal. Also this i the kind of fan-service I like, where the main character is clearly all for it rather than bullshit opps landing on her boobs or something dumb like that.

Edgy is word reserved only for bad anime. FLCL has themes and stuff so it can't be bad, therefore can't be edgy. I understand now.

I checked out the first episode of the anime adaptation and was honestly kind of disappointed by it. I wanted it to be flashier and crazier than it turned out to be.

The manga on the other hand, I find difficult to put down. Outside of the ridiculously high-stakes gambling showdowns, the writing isn't too clever or surprising (even the matches can be predictable at times, actually).

Despite this, I find myself returning to the manga every time it updates. It's something about the absurd expressions and overall art style that's so enticing, but unfortunately that's where the show falls flat for me.

I'm really hoping it'll improve in later episodes.

It's not bad, its fun to watch Yumeko's reactions and see how she outsmarts the other person she gambles against. It would be amazing if the games were as well thought out as the rock paper scissors game in the first episode, the next two games aren't as exciting. I'm curious to see how creative they can get.

It doesn't have as much fan service as I hoped for either, but it's still entertaining.
