I randomly clicked on this Anime on Netflix. I just saw the first episode. I personally found it very fascinating. The premise is that a bunch of wealthy high schools attend a private school ran by the student council. Since they are so wealthy, what really matters is how tactical you are. This leads to gambling being the most important thing in the school. If you build up too much debt, you become a pet which is pretty much a slave to the person you owe debt to until you pay off it off.

I dont think Ive seen an anime like this before. Has anyone else seen this before?

I really like the series, it's a fun time. It seems every time someone brings up kakegurui, at least a couple people go "KAIJI THIS, KAIJI THAT", but imo, it's possible to enjoy both series.

yea, I enjoyed it.

I think there are also a couple of live-action movies that came out kinda recently.

and like someone mentioned, you should also check out Kaiji, if you haven't already done so.

Only because Kaiji technically did it "first", but like you said it's possible to enjoy both of them. We're living in the digital age where there isn't an "original" idea anymore so it's very common now for people to compare one media to another. It's not necessarily a bad thing because sometimes copy cats can be superior to the OG. I haven't watched this show yet, but it does look interesting and I still have my Netflix subscription up.

yeah but it usually devolves into a "kakegurui sucks because kaiji is better" conversation

Im 4 episodes in and I cant stop grinning. Its just fun to watch. Its so strange. The stakes are so high yet they arent at the same time. This anime is just a blast to watch. Im loving it. Lots of crazy ass people though.

The girl so addicted to gambling that she would rather die or have sex with a random dude for the thrill was crazy. Then she one ups herself by masturbating in a public restroom after winning a solo game of Russian Roulette? Jesus Christ

Yeah pretty much every character is fucked in the head. Not sure if season 2 is on netflix, but it's a good time as well.

Both seasons are on there. I do have a question. Is there only 2 seasons total, Netflix only has access to 2 seasons or there are currently 2 seasons with more coming soon?

Literally had it on last night as background noise while I was reading

I can't do anything except sleep in complete silence, and since I've already watched both seasons like a dozen times I didn't have to pay attention to it. Same way I got through grad school with Avatar, Is This a Zombie, Railgun, and erm Highschool DxD

The dub is fine, but it doesn't hit the same way the sub does

With all due respect, I've heard enough similar comments about supposedly bad dubs that actually turned out fun to take your post with a grain of salt

I'll always take a good english dub over a japanese one, however after watching both with this particular show, the english va just don't do as good a job. It's 100% watchable, but a direct downgrade imo.

Kaiji is much more grounded, but Kakegurui is really fun. It uses over the top anime stuff in a really enjoyable way. Characters screaming about getting their gambling freak on is hilarious.

There's also a live action movie on Netflix too if you're interested. I haven't watched it, so I can't say if it's good or not.

I just finished episode 11. This show is just pure. insanity and I love it LMAO. Its so damn entertaining. They somehow find a way to raise the stakes farther and farther every episode. Im still trying to figure this girl out. Is she really just that crazy about gambling? I feel like there HAS to be more. Im waiting for the moment that the guy she is always with is the one that gets gambled. I want to see her reaction then. I know it will happen eventually.

The presentation is great, it was a lot of fun and the characters have a ton of personality.

My only pet peeve was that since the characters were all children of rich families, it never really felt like there was much at stake.

If you end up checking out Kaiji, also check out Akagi, made by the same guy. Kaiji is a perpetual underdog story about a pathetic, kinda likable loser gettinging into a variety of insane games where losing means he either dies or gets sold into slavery. Akagi is about a thrill-seeking teenager that doesnt care if he lives or dies, and throws himself into the underground criminal mahjong scene.

It's bad as a gambling anime, but if you like tights and girls making orgasm faces, it might be for you.

Just finished the last episode of that season. It was great. It was hilarious that she practically orgasmed when he decided to just pick at random. I also had a strong hunch that the President and Vice President were twins. Its not confirmed yet but that seems to be the case. She looked way too similar this entire time we the mask would actually make sense.

Season 2 looks to be great

EDIT: Literally 30 seconds into Season 2. These people are fucking insane LMAO

It's not really a spoiler important to the plot and definitely not since you already finished the season, but yeah they are. I mean she straight up replaced her sister and both the family and the student council were fooled by the switch
