If you're a sucker for anime Openings then you'll at least love Kakegurui for that much as it has arguably one of the Best Openings in 2017. This anime although set in a Gambling World with it as it's Premise is certainly less about Gambling and more about The psychological aspects behind it. What sets this anime apart from the rest in my opinion is the wide variety of diverse/unique/and eccentric characters. As you'll come to find out almost every character in this anime is mentally unstable and Psychotic, not always in a bad way but rather an entertaining way. Each episode reveals new characters for the Main Character Jabami Yumeko to face off against in winner take all Gamble, with each Gamble having higher stakes and being more deadly than the last. For me that is what keeps this anime interesting, the ever changing Gambles as we root for our Psychotic MC to make her way to the Top of the Student Council. Unlike you're typical anime with School Settings this one offers a fresh new outlook on the genre shedding light into the more psychological aspects of a Gamble.

Art:9/10- i love the unique predominately Red/Reddish color Palette which also offers warm yellows and Harsh Blues to set the mood depending on the situation/gamble.

Characters:8/10 Not all of the Characters are impressive however we get such a wide range of them and an inside look on what makes them tick so it never gets dull. Theres so many unique characters with various personalities that every episode feels Fresh.

Story: 7/10 Unique in it's premise but a tad bid Generic in it's delivery as its essentially a Battle Royal of Gambling your way to the top of the School. Nothing Crazy about it but it is Different and for me "Different" was good although that may not be the case for everyone.

Art: 8/10 The Art is Good it's not in my Top 10 or anything but does have a distinct Style that will burn itself into your memory in a good way. When you see the Characters Facial expressions you'll know what i mean :)

Voice Acting:8/10 The Voice Acting in this played a big role in my enjoyment of this anime and to be honest i think it's criminally underrated in that aspect. Every Voice is distinctly different and discernible and the voice actors really give it their all in the Climax of the Gambling scenes.

All in all i gave this anime a 9/10 for staying very true to the Manga Source Material for the most part as well as being an overall enjoyable ride. If you enjoy Psychotic Women and Psychological anime then i think you should definitely give this anime a shot and watch it for yourself.
