I finished Kakegurui Twin, a six episode prequel to Kakegurui following Mary. It ran into the problem lots of prequels do where nothing really mattered because I know where everyone will end up. Even ignoring that, though, I thought it was kind of meh. Mary is nowhere near as good of a character as Yumeko. We actually get to see into Mary's thoughts, for one, which never happened with Yumeko. That element of mystery, always wondering how much Yumeko knew at any given time, was a big part of why I enjoyed Kakegurui. Mary was a boring protagonist in comparison, and most of her thoughts just made her seem kind of pathetic. This mini-season also didn't tell a complete story, and as far as I know there isn't anything else announced. Since the original Kakegurui also still hasn't told a complete story, now we've got two incomplete stories that might never be finished. As much as I like Kakegurui, watching Twin felt like a mistake.
