Kakegurui is a Japanese anime series that premiered in July 2017 and is based on the manga of the same name by Homura Kawamoto. The setting is a private school whose visitors secure their social status by gambling.
"Kakegurui - Life is a Game" is very exciting with its various games of chance, but I couldn't get used to the sexualization of the characters at all, which ruined the anime for much.
It's a pity actually, because I think that without the perversions it could have been an exciting anime, like I think the anime could have potential bring back some Yu-Gi-Oh-Vibes.
Watch it if you have no problem with Ecchi-Content.

Lovely show. Yes it is great for passing time but it's nothing close to amazing. I would say watch it if you have time to spare but dont give it a second thought if not.
Damn I just liked the thrill of it all and you know, you honestly don't have to understand poker here! The girl characters on this are rather interesting because they technically beat every opponents butt and of course they have split personalities. They go from being sugarcoated cutesy girls to being ultimate crazies by putting on ahegao faces. Yeah parents, please don't show this anime to kids.
Definitely if you like your psychological stuff and have a competitive side for a wild ride, this is definitely the anime series to watch!

This is one hell of a unique show and the first season is done incredibly well. Having a main protagonist who is a chaotic neutral (not bad, not good, and unpredictable) is fun. The first season was simple yet complex enough to really pull me in. It has great character development and many "OH DAMN!" moments that make it stand out. I'd easily give the first season a 9/10.
The second season was decent, but not nearly as polished. Way too many new characters, and the bets were either convoluted or meaningless. Possibly worth a watch, but the ending was completely lacking.
Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 5/10
Series as a whole - 7/10
Watch the first season and if you really love it, go into the second season with lowered expectations.

While it is interesting to watch, the story is simple and the villains one-dimensional. Good but lacking substance, Nothing new but has potential to be good.
